"It was his last day on the force, she was going through a divorce..."

  "How is he doctor?"
Pete asked the doctor worriedly.

The police called them after Patrick was rushed in the hospital.

  "We already took out all the drugs from his body. But he is still in coma. We have to monitor his condition in the next 24 hours."
The doctor told them.

  "Can we see him?"
Andy asked. The doctor nodded.

  "Yes you can."

The three of them entered the room. They saw Patrick lying on the bed, with a lot of apparatus on his body.
They pitied him. Patrick never been like this. Pete can't help to cry.

  "Why did you do that Trick?"
Pete sobs as he held Patrick's hand. Andy rubbed his back.

  "I promise you before that I will never hurt myself again, but here you are, you tried to kill yourself."
Pete continue to sobs.

  "Pete hush now."
Andy said.
Pete let go of Patrick's hands and went out.

  "Joe, follow him."

Andy told Joe, he nodded and followed Pete outside. He saw Pete standing against the wall, crying.

  "Hey dude."
Joe walk towards him.

  "I don't want to see Patrick like that Joe. It kills me."
Pete said.

  "I know what you feel Pete. Patrick is like brother to us. We also hate seeing him like this. Even though he's a jerk, we all care for him."
Joe said to him.

  "I can't blame Allie for leaving Patrick, but I can't help my self to be mad at her."
Pete looked down on his feet.

  "I don't think that this is the time to blame anyone."
Joe told him. Pete agreed.

He wiped away his tears.
Joe's right, this is not the time to blame anyone, Patrick needs a brother and a friend right now. He thought.

  "Let's go back inside."
Joe told him.

  "Okay."
They went back inside the room and waited for Patrick to wake up.

******

It's already a week but Patrick still didn't wake up.

They already asked the doctor why Patrick is still unconscious, he said that Patrick's body is still adjusting, he almost got overdosed, that is why he is still coma. His body needs a lot of recovery.

And because of Patrick's condition, they cancelled their tours and concerts. But they kept Patrick's condition to everyone. His parents wants it too.

  "A-Allie?"
Patrick said groggily whispered.

  "Hey guys! Patrick's awake!"
Pete told Andy and Joe.

  "Patrick we're here. You're okay now."
Joe said to him. But Patrick spoke again.

  "Allie."
The three of them looked to each other. They held Patrick's arms. He's dreaming about Allie.

Patrick opened his eyes slowly, adjusting to the light that glared him. He felt heavy and weak. His head is spinning and hurts a lot, it's like he's been hit by a jack hammer. But he forced himself to looked around him. He saw Pete, Joe, and Andy besides him.

  "Hey man. Welcome back."
Pete joked with tears on his eyes.

He weakly smiled. Joe elbowed Pete because of what he said.

  "Where's Allie?"
Patrick asked them again. They give him a meaningful look.

  "Don't you remember anything."
Andy said.

Didn't he? No. He remembers everything. All of it. From his mistakes, the fight, the moment she left him and the suicide. He remembered every painful moment, detail and flaws. Tears are starting to fall on the corner of his eyes.

  "Patrick."

  "I remember everything. It was all my fault."
Patrick starts to sob.

His lungs are tightening to the point that it's difficult to breathe. But the pain in his heart is more painful than anything else.

  "Stop crying Trick, it's not good for you."
Pete reminded him. But he didn't care.

******

Weeks and days passed, after Patrick recovered, he tried to find Allie. But no one knows where she is. No trace of her and Declan.

It's really painful. Even though he wants to drown himself in alcohol, he's trying not to because he needs to find Allie and his son, Declan. He wants them back.

He felt his phone vibrated. He picked it out in his pocket and answered it.

  "Hello?"

  "Mister Stump, this is atty. Smith, are you free today? Can we talk?"
It was his lawyer.

  "Yes, I'm free to day, I'll see you in a bit."
He said then hung up

Patrick drove to the office of his lawyer. His body was trembling, he feels that something came up.
He tried to erase it in his head.
When he arrived in the office, he goes to the reception desk.

  "I'm here to meet Atty. Smith."
He said to the girl behind the desk.

  "Just go straight to his office Mr. Stump."
She said and smiled.

  "Okay, thank you."
He said and went straight to his office. He knocked on the door.

  "Come in."
He heard Atty. Smith said.
He entered the office.

  "Oh, here you are Mr. Stump, have a seat."
Mr. Smith said to him. He just smiled weakly.

  "Thank you Atty. Smith"
He said and sat on the chair.

  "How's you're feeling?"
Atty. Smith asked.

  "I'm okay. By the way, why did you called me?"
Patrick said. The lawyer cleared his throat before speaking.

  "I know this is not the right time for this, but this is really important."
Atty. Smith said. Patrick looked at him confusedly, at the same time nervous.

  "Go on Atty."
He said. His lawyer handed him an envelope.

  "What's this?"
He asked.

  "Open it."

His hands were shaking while opening the envelope, hoping that this is not what he is thinking.
His eyes went blurry. He can't read the papers rightly because his eyes watered.

  "Is this--"

  "Yes Patrick. Allie signed a divorce paper."
