Description "She's gone. I'm so sorry, there was nothing we could do. The amount of blood loss was too great…"
I wasn't listening anymore. The doctor's apologies and explanations wouldn't sedate the guilt in my heart.

"It wasn't your fault son." I turned back as I saw my father's grey eyes filled with grief. His hand was on my shoulder, its weight much heavier than what a hand should weigh.
She's gone. She's gone. Fault.
These words circled in my head. They were the only things that mattered now.

How could they say that I had no fault? No responsibility for what happened? But they didn't know. Nobody did.
I could never know what had happened in our apartment that night. All I knew was that I wasn't there to protect her. I could have saved her, but I left her alone. And now she's gone. How could they understand the pain I felt?

No one knew. I reminded myself. I should have saved her. Its my fault.

I'm the one to blame.
