I Grabbed My Son's Back Pack And Hoisted The Small Thing Around One Arm. "Pip! We Gotta Go!" I Called. Philip Walked Down The Stais Wearing The Turtle We Got Him For His 9th Birthday.

"Be Safe Love." Alex, My Husband Said Kissing My Forehead. "I Will." I Giggled Kissing His Cheek. "Good Luck At Your Meeting!" I Called, Following Philip Outside To The Car.

I Dropped Him Off At His School And Made Sure He Had Everything. "Have A Great Day, Pip." I Said Hugging Him. He Hugged Me Back Before Running To The Playground.
How I Wish He Had Turned Back For Just A Second So I Could Have Glimpsed His Green Eyes.

12:45. Meeting Time.

I Was In The Company's Meeting Room With Washington, Jefferson, Madison, Burr, And Adams. I Was Talking About Some Thing To Help Us Increase How Much We Make When Washington's Phone Went Off. "One Momment Gentlemen." He Said Getting Up And Walking Outside.

A Momment Later My Phone Rung. "Oooo. Alex, Is Your HoneyPie Calling You~" Jefferson Taunted. I Rolled My Eyes And Turned Around, Answering It. "Hello?"

"Is This Mr Hamilton?"
"It Is. Who Is This?"
"This Is Docter Randall From ThwCentral Hospital. There's Been An Accodent Involving Guns At Miranda Elementary School. We Ne-"

"ALEXANDER HANG UP AND WORK" Jefferson Yelled. I Shook My Head And Ignored Him

"Go On."
"We Need You Down Here As Soon As Possible. Your Son Philip Has Been Heavily Ingured By A Gun Shot. He Lost A Lot Of Blood. The Bullet Entered Just Above His Hip And Lodged In His Right Arm"

My World Stopped For A Breif Second. I Felt As If The Air Was Clouded And All Bit of Happiness Had Been Sucked From My Soul. Philip, My Son. Is In The Hospital. Possibly Dieing.

"We've Called Your Husband. He's On The Way."
"T-Thank You. I'll Be There Soon."
"Thank You."

He Hung Up.

I Stood There A Second. I Forgot People Where In The Room With Me Until I Heard, "You Okay, Hamilton?" Aaron Said. I Turned To Look At Them. They Looked At Me In Curiosity. "Ive Gotta Go." I Said Stumbling Over My Words.

Jeffeson Started To Argue Before I Ran Out. I Bumped Into Washington Who Had Just Hung Up. "Hamilton? Where Are You Going, We Have A Meeting?" He Said. Shit.

"S-Sir, Ive Got To Go To The Hospital And Ive Got To Be There Right Now!" I Said, Not Waiting For An Answer And Booking It Down The Hall.

After Reciving The Call, I Booked It Downtown. I Ran Into The Hospital A Panting Mess But I Didn't Care. "Where Is Philip Hamilton?!!?" I Shouted At The Receptionist. "Room 24, Floor 2!" She Hurried As A Response. I Ran To the Elevator Than His Room.

I Opended The Door. I Saw My Son. On The Bed. In Pain.

"Philip!" I Exclaimed. He Turned To me And Smiled. "P-Pa." He Stumbbled As I Ran To His Side.

"P-Pa.... He Got Me. B-But He Wasn't Aiming." He Said. "Shhh, I Know, I Know," "He Got Me." "Save Your Strength And Stay Alive...." I Said.

"PHILIP!" I Turned To See My Husband Practically Throw The Door Open. He Ran To Philips Other Side, He Had Tears In His Eyes, A Pained Exspression And Tensed Muscles. "John..." I Said.

"Is He Breathing Is He Going To Surving This?" He Rambled. "Who Did This? Alexander Did You Know!" He Said, Looking Into My Eyes. I Saw All The Pain, Worry, Stress, And Dieing Hope In His Bright Green Eyes.

"D-Dad.... Im So Sorry." Philip Said Grabbing John's Arm. "Its Okay Philip. You'll Be Okay. Y-You Will Be Okay..." He Mummbled, More Of Trying To Convince Himself Than Philip.

"Un, Deux, Trois, Quatre, Cinq, Siex, Sept, Huite, Nerf" John Sung Quietly. Philip Always Counted To 10 In French.

John And Philip Would Soend Hours By The Piano Singing And Laughing.

"Un....Deux ..... Trois Quatre.   C-Cinq Seise.... S-Se..." He Started. "Sept...... Seise Sept......" He Sand As His Green Eyes Fluttered Closed And The Flat Lining Sound Beamed.

John Screamed.

The Scream Of A Mother Who Just Had Her Entire World Ripped From His Hands When Neither Him Or His Son Were Ready Or Prepared. The Sound Of Loosing The Pride Of Your Life. The Sound Of Greif And Depression

He Wasn't Ready. Send Him Back. Give Us Him. We Love Him. We Need Him....... Please.
