KATRINA'S P O V
Upon seeing Cohen's body unconscious and lying in the intensive care unit, I experienced a range of feelings---pity, heartbreak, sorrow, and hope. When I spotted his mom and grandmother standing at the far end of the room, looking at him, I came to a complete stop. They were crying their eyes out and appeared to be devastated. Sylvia’s only child was struggling between life and death because of me. As I cautiously and quietly shut the door behind me, they did not appear to have noticed my presence just yet.
Cohen was too young to experience this kind of suffering. My throat hurt even more, and I choked into tears recalling how he sacrificed himself to save me. Everyone is suffering now because of me. If Cohen didn’t save me, he wouldn’t be here in a critical condition. His life was on the line now.
