Chapter 12

In the moments following Finny's fall down the staircase, we all were in aw as we watched finny slowly dying on the floor. Brinker shouted "Phineas must not be moved"(170). Everyone knew that there would only be one night nurse at the infirmary so everyone rushed to go get her.Dr. Stanpole arrives and has finny carried out on a chair. " The foyer and the staircase of the First Building were soon as crowded as at midday"(170). They would not let me in so I had to sneek my way in through the window. As I arrived throught he window I heard a voice say "Who is it"(176)! All I could think to say to him is "Im sorry" and just kept repeating myself. This was one of the few times I had cried in my life. After I thought about the tree and how none of this would have happened if it wasnt for that one accident. I started to cry more and more. Dr. Stanpole was the one that delivered the worst news I could have ever heard. Just four words that would ruin my life for ever. These four words were "your friend is dead"(185).
