Hailey****

My heart pounded in my chest as I rushed to Max's side. There he was, his small, bloodied body lying motionless on the floor. His face was pale, his forehead marked with a deep gash, and his shirt soaked in crimson. The world around me seemed to blur as my breath hitched, and a sob tore through my chest. I dropped to my knees beside him, my fingers trembling as I brushed against his cold skin. Too cold. Too still.

"Max... Max!" I cried, desperately shaking him, my voice cracking. My mind was a whirl of frantic thoughts that made no sense. How could this happen? What happened to my baby?

Terror gripped me, my pulse roaring in my ears. The room, once just dark and unsettling, felt like it was closing in on me. I could barely breathe. My body screamed at me to do something, anything, but I felt frozen, paralyzed by fear.

"Max, please... Don’t do this," I whispered through my tears. "Please don’t leave me."

I pressed my hand to his neck, desperate for any sign that he was still

    Hailey***Hollis's grip on me tightened, his body stiffening as he took a shaky breath. The words he was about to say hung in the air like a storm, and I could feel the weight of his confession pressing on me, pulling me into a place I wasn’t ready for."It’s my uncle," he said, his voice strained, barely above a whisper. His eyes were dark, a mix of guilt and anger flashing through them, and I could see the battle inside him. "He’s the one who did this."My stomach dropped. My pulse skipped. The air between us thickened, suffocating me. I shook my head in disbelief, my breath catching. "Your uncle? Why? Why would he do this?"Hollis’s expression hardened, his jaw clenched. For a moment, I could almost hear the pain breaking through his voice. "He’s been trying to destroy me for years," he said, his words weighed down by years of betrayal. "But after Justin’s death… this was the line he crossed his limits."The shock hit me like a punch to the chest. I staggered back, my hands trembli

    Hailey****The emergency room was a blur of activity, the beeping of machines and the hurried footsteps of medical staff echoing in my ears. My heart raced in time with the chaotic rhythm of the hospital, thoughts scattered and tangled in my head. Every part of me wanted to break down, but I couldn’t. Max needed me.I followed the nurse through the double doors, the sterile smell of antiseptic hitting me like a slap. Hollis was right behind me, his hand gripping mine like a lifeline. The sight of Max lying in a bed, wires and tubes attached to his small body, sent a fresh wave of panic crashing over me. His little face was pale, his body twitching with the involuntary fits the nurse had mentioned.I rushed to his side, my breath catching in my throat as I tried to steady myself. "Max," I whispered, bending over him, my fingers brushing his damp forehead. "Max, baby, can you hear me?"His eyelids fluttered, and for a brief moment, I thought he might wake up. But then, his body jerked a

    Hailey***The doctors moved with precision, shouting orders as they surrounded Max's bed. "Get the paddles! Charge it to 200!" one of the doctors called out.I felt frozen, trapped in the nightmare I’d always feared. Max, my little boy, was slipping away right before my eyes, and there was nothing I could do to stop it.Hollis’s hands were on my shoulders, trying to hold me together, but even his grip felt like a distant echo of the strength I once found in him.

"Fight, baby, fight. Please don't leave me."The shock paddles were placed against Max’s chest, and I flinched, my heart sinking as the charge buzzed through the air.

    Hailey**** The sterile hospital walls closed in. Hollis’s words repeated: "I’ll always fight for us." But how? How could we survive in this chaos? Max—he’s barely hanging on. And me? I’m just... waiting. Waiting for the bottom to fall out. Max’s condition had stabilized, but the doctors warned us it wouldn’t be easy. He had barely clung to life after the first round of shock, and even though he was breathing on his own again, there was a chilling uncertainty about his recovery. The small victory of his heart beating once more felt fleeting—just a glimmer of hope in an ocean of dread. I stood by the window, staring out at the night, trying to find some solace in the vast, empty sky. The stars above were distant, indifferent, just like the world outside this hospital—cold, uncaring, and relentless. My fingers gripped the sill tightly, a feeble attempt to steady myself. Each breath felt like it carried the unbearable weight of what was happening. Behind me, Hollis’s footsteps echoed

    “How much more do I have to suffer?” I cried alone in the airport bathroom as tears started streaming from my eyes. In just a week, my life took a drastic turn. I don’t know if I’m the same person that I was a week ago. How much worse have things gotten in my life? As an orphan, I only ever wished for one thing: a family of my own, but now that one wish seems impossible to fulfill. I had always believed that life couldn't possibly get any harder, but recent events shattered that belief. But my bad decisions had led me to this point, and now I had to face the consequences. I knew deep down that I had to find the strength within myself to overcome this adversity and rebuild my life, even if it meant starting from scratch. From today, everything will be different—a new start. That is all I want in my life. A fresh start in a new place, a new me. My phone rings in my pocket, distracting me from my thoughts. I looked at the caller ID and wanted to crash my head on the wall. ‘Him...

Broken toys scattered across the floor, forgotten stuffed animals abandoned in a corner. The silence was oppressive, my heartbeat the only sound. But it wasn’t the room that set my pulse racing. It was Summer.There, in the corner, was my little girl, sitting against the wall with her knees drawn up to her chest. Her small hands gripped them tightly, her eyes wide and glassy with fear. She didn’t make a sound."Summer?" I whispered, stepping closer, my voice trembling with both relief and dread.She flinched at the sound of my voice, her eyes snapping to mine, a flicker of recognition and confusion flashing across her face.
