As I raced to the park, my mind was a whirlwind of fear and anger. What kind of prank could have gone so wrong that Caleb wouldn’t wake up? I couldn’t shake the image of my little boy lying unresponsive, and I pushed all thoughts aside except for getting to him as fast as I could.
When I arrived, the scene was chaos. An ambulance was already there, paramedics rushing to and from their vehicle. I spotted Amber standing off to the side, pale and trembling, her arms wrapped protectively around a tearful Lily. It took every ounce of self-control not to confront her right there, but my priority was Caleb.
