I SO agree, Mandy
**SPOILERS**I hardly know what to say or where to start, this chapter was so emotional and so overwhelming. God,
all I want right now is for Ennis to wake up and see Jack sitting there at his bed My heart goes out to all of them
Poor sweet Jack
Thank God he said he was Ennis's brother so he could ride along in the ambulance. These lines got me good:
But Ennis wasn’t crying or yelling. He was as still as a frozen pond, not scared anymore. and these ones:
When no one was looking he let Ennis’s cold fingers rest on his trembling lips. I really really felt for KE too, these lines made me feel so sad for him:
“Ezzie,” He said quietly. “I can’t handle much more of anything right now, so please, just shut up.” He sounded like he meant every word. The weight of the world settled itself on his shoulders and seemed content to rotate there around its own black sun.And all his worrying about missing work and the bills and Elliott and Ezzie missing school....*sigh* And then wanting to know about Jack and Ennis but then again *not* wanting to hear about it either....Aww and how sad he was in the hospital room, his tears
and what he said to Ennis,
“It’s like I’m nobody’s little boy anymore,” He told Ennis in hushed tones.
“You know what I mean don’t ya kid? You’ll always have me being older than you, watching out for you no matter what.” K.E. bit his bottom lip and let ‘but who do I have?’ stay hot and lonely on his tongue. just about broke my heart
And omfg when Jack blurted out to KE that they were more than friends, I thought my heart had stopped beating for a second.
And I also thought Jack's stifled yell was so utterly sad too
Sweet little Elliott was adorable as ever, telling Jack that he is Ennis's best and only friend. That was just so great
I thought this little line was just so brilliant too, so absolutely right for KE:
His tight black t-shirt clung to him angrily And these last lines really choked me up:
Jack slid both hands up the side of the bed, feeling for Ennis’s and putting one hand in his own. He knew he’d sit in the chair for as long as they’d let him; sleep there if he could with his head on the bed, body in the chair.
He felt something wet on the sheets where K.E. had been and he fingered the fallen splashes of tear drops that were slow to dry and he picked up one of Ennis’s fingers, dragging it across the salty puddles so he could feel them too.SO beautifully sad
*SIGH* I wish Chas could update again tomorrow.
