Once one of the nurses had came up to Roland and gave him the ok to see Avery, she led the way by opening the door for the both of them, then the nurse tended to Avery and her stats as Roland kept quiet, seeing Avery in a position that made him feel very uneasy. After the nurse had done her little examination, she left the room, leaving Roland alone with Avery for the time being. For a moment, he couldn’t move or say anything really, yet all he could do was stare at her, stare at the fatal disaster that was caused and brought on to her, and stare at what he felt he had done to her. Once he had gotten the courage to present himself to her, although she was in deep sleep, he kept at the side of the hospital bed she was laying in and placed his hand upon hers as he began to talk towards her. 

[i]“Avery……”[/i] said Roland in a sorrowful and depressing tone, [i][i]“I-I’m so sorry. I didn’t mean for this to happen, I just wanted to help you is all.”[/i][/i] He stayed there for a minute, his hand still on hers, hoping that she would hopefully wake up and say something to him, anything to say the least, so that he would feel better instead of regrettable.

A few minutes later, the officer from earlier walked in, informing Roland that she has no other family, meaning that foster care was of an option as of now. As the policeman turned on his radio for more information, Roland started turning his attention to the man, questioned as to what will happen to Avery.

[i]“A foster care?”[/i] asked Roland,[i] “Well, what if someone was to take her in? You know, like someone close by or something, would that be ok?”[/i]
