Can’t remember a time without him really, he was always there. He was the man to catch me when I fell, and now I was falling again, and he couldn’t save me. I let my guard down with Maddox, just as I did with Hudson. I let Maddox right into my heart—and now. . . was as if someone had taken a sledge hammer to my glass heart and shattered it into a million pieces that were bleeding.

My heart had exploded causing unbearable pain to spread through my blood. I was shaking, as the tears continued to run down my cheeks. It was hard. So, fucking hard to keep breathing right now. They wanted me to make the call on Maddox’s life support—and I couldn’t do it. I couldn’t turn it off. I just fucking couldn’t do it.

It’s moments like now, as I hugged his pillow, that the taste of his lips and the feeling of safety that would flood my body when I was wrapped in his arms. I was currently wasted on thoughts of him, his touch, his cologne I couldn’t escape him right now. I was hugging his pillow and a photo frame of us. And as much as I knew he wouldn’t want to be on life support—I couldn’t bring myself to tell the doctors it was time to let him go.

I couldn’t let him go.

There was a knock on my bedroom door, and I struggled to put the photo down and let go of the pillow. Maddox’s things were suffocating me in this room. It was like he was on a run and I was waiting for him to come back.

At first, I sort of treated it like that. That he’d be back soon. Now. . . I was slowly realizing that wasn’t going to happen.

I opened the door and Ribs was standing there.

“Everything okay?” I asked, though my voice sounds like crushed glass had torn my throat part. How long had I been crying for?

Ribs frowned. “I think I should be asking you that question?”

“I’m fine,” I lied “What’s wrong, Ribs?” I wanted to forget my problems for a minute by getting lost in someone else’s problems.

“It’s about Lacie.”

“Okay, what happened?” Had Ribs love affair ended? At the lake, Ribs had told Hudson and I all about his love for a young woman working at the town’s café. Hudson and I gave Ribs some firm advice and he ended up asking Lacie out, and well, so started their love affair.

“I was actually wondering if you could come out for a bit? We wanted to ask you and Hudson something,” Ribs said, “But I get it if you don’t want to leave your room,” he added with concern.

“Don’t be stupid.” I stepped out of the room, locking the door. “Anything wrong?” I asked as we walked down the hall. I was beginning to think if Lacie broke up with Ribs, he wouldn’t take it very well.

Walking into the bar, I see Hudson getting a beer. His eyes locked onto me and I see concern.
