Chapter 23: Chapter 23: Promise (2)

I waited for Franco to say something after they left but he was irritably quiet, it has been almost an hour since they left, the silence was awkward.

My mind just came up with different assumptions but it came to an abrupt halt when I heard a sniff, it was very low but the room was silent so I caught it.

And then came another sniff, then another. My brows furrowed with confusion, then realization hit me square in the face.

Is Franco crying? Oh God!

As if hearing my thoughts, a loud sob broke through the air. My heart ached hearing him cray like this, I'm the reason for his tears.

I opened my eyes to see him and make him realize i was awake and can hear him but my brain didn't support my eyes as I still saw darkness.

I tried to move my hand but to no avail, all my body parts, they felt numb. Almost paralyzed.
