I was completely helpless—frozen in my spot. I didn’t know what to do. How to help him. His knees gave out, and he collapsed in the grass. Screaming filled the night as his fingers tugged on his hair. He curled into himself, his body wracked with painful sobs as something tore him to pieces from the inside out. I fell to my knees in front of him, utterly lost. I couldn’t touch him. I couldn’t fix it. I couldn’t do a damn thing but watch the man I love completely fall apart.
