Chapter 21

Aaron

Hearing Amy talk about my baby brother is bittersweet. You can see her eyes light up when she talks about him; she loves him with everything inside her. What I wouldn’t give to see him again, but I’m sure he hates me since my parents did. I’m sure they brainwashed him against me as soon as I was gone.

I have finished my last rounds for the day and I decide to go check on her to see how she’s doing. Even though I haven’t talked to or seen Lance in years, she’s still like a sister to me since I know that they are going to get married, I can tell.

I hear a man talking to her and I assume it’s her ex. I walk in and stop in my tracks. Lance is sitting on her bed, professing his love to her. He looks over at me and it’s like time stands still. She has this big watery smile on her face, and he’s still staring at me like he thinks I’ll disappear.

“Amy, I told you not to tell him that I was here. I thought I could trust you,” I spit out. I’m pissed. I don’t want to deal with this today. I should’ve gone home to Tyler. He would know what to do. He always been the voice of reason to my temper.

“I didn’t tell him you were here. I told him about the baby, and of course he wanted to be here for me.”

He looks from me, to her, and back to me again. He’s shaking his head as if he’s dreaming me standing in the room.

“Wait,” he looks over at her again, “You knew he was here and you didn’t tell me? How could you do that to me? You knew how tore up I was about losing him, yet you were not going to tell me that he was here, this close to me and let me continue to torture myself?”

He needs to not stress her out. Her body can’t handle the stress right now.

“Lance, don’t get upset with her. I’m sure she would’ve told you, but right now her body can’t handle a lot stress.”

He cuts me off, “Don’t you dare tell me what she does or doesn’t need!”

He needs to leave her out of his, “You’re pissed and I get it, but take that anger out on someone other than her. I’m her doctor and I’m telling you her body can’t handle all this stress. She lost a baby for fuck’s sake.”

I don’t see it coming but next thing I know I feel him punch my jaw. I step back from the blow and grab my chin. He goes to hit me again, and like when we were kids, I grab his fist, turn, and pin it against his back.

“Lance, buddy, calm down, like I’ve clearly said she doesn’t need this stress. Look at her right now, she’s over there crying her eyes out. She needs you right now. Be strong for her,” I whisper in his ear.
