It was like he couldn't listen. He didn't want to. He didn't want to face the fact that his life was over. Well, a good portion of it with Joy.
Cory felt numb.
First, she told him the truth about the baby and in a couple more breaths...flatline.
It stung him deep. He remembered the moments well. All hell broke lose. It was so unexpected. She'd never had a troubled moment from the get go during the pregnancy. It was nonsense. Just nonsense. It had to be.
"You could stay with us. We could stay with you." Cady babbled for the longest time there in the waiting room. It didn't matter. The equation remained the same and Cory just stood there still as everything buzzed around him. He felt like a shell and this pain pierced deep in his heart. Did she ever really love him?
He felt cold. Like an iceberg had landed on his chest, but he stood so silent as if it wouldn't matter what he said. He might as well be a figment of their imagination. It couldn't be real. He didn't want it to be real. But everything was so intense, yet he might float away if he didn't stay anchored. Cory just didn't know what to be anchored too.
