“What do you want me to do, button?” he asked.
“Let him in, Dad,” I said.
He nodded, and then he opened the door.
And there Bronson stood with Cole and Madalyn at his side.
I felt all the air in my lungs freeze as I took in their expressions.
Sorrow. Sadness. And... hurt.
Bronson
The moment the door opened, I looked through her living room and gasped.
My mouth dropped open.
What. The. Fuck.
She’d lost weight.
Too fucking much of it.
What the fuck was going on?
I froze for a millisecond and then stalked into her house and dropped to my knees in front of her.
Locking my eyes with her crystal baby blues.
Cole
Seeing Lila, the woman I wanted to call Mom, look so frail and beaten down, I felt a tear trail down my cheek.
What the hell was going on?
I followed Dad in but I sat down beside her and wrapped my arm around her shoulders.
Madalyn
Seeing the woman, I wanted to call Mom look like that, it broke something inside of me.
Needing to be close to her, I raced to the other side and sat down on her side.
She looked at me and tried to show a beaming smile, but I could tell it just wasn’t there.
A tear slid down my cheek.
She brought her hand up and wiped it away and whispered, “Don’t cry, sweetheart.”
Kendra
I looked at Bax and mouthed,“They need her as much as she needs them.”
Bax
I nodded, then I mouthed,“I’ll kill someone to get her that kidney.”
Lila
