"It hurts."
Damon's brow knitted together. The pain was burning him from the inside out. He felt helpless and hopeless. He felt as if he was going to explode at any given moment. He was hurt.
He felt like he was a failure and he blamed himself. He had watched Richard's death happen right before his eyes and he couldn't even stop it.
Richard had been his childhood friend for as long as he could remember. They had grown up together and not once had he seen this day coming.
It had shocked him the moment he saw it happen. Yet he had still had hope and believed that he would survive. It was when Ryan noticed the silver that his heart shattered. It was at that moment that he knew and understood it in his heart that they had lost Richard.
Each time it thought about it, it hurt him. It burnt him from the inside. It troubled his soul. He had wanted space to escape as he couldn't take it anymore. Everything had become to much and hard for him to handle.
