Chapter Seventeen ~ Brayden

Therapy became my main focus after my talk with Mia. I wanted to be better not only physically, but mentally and emotionally as well. I wanted to be a well-rounded man so that I could right my wrongs with everything that went wrong in my life.

When I got to the cabin after a long morning of therapy, I saw Mia on the couch with a half empty bottle of wine and a box of tissues. I thought she might have been emotional about us and the talk we had, but I was surprised to know that there were other hassles going on in her life.

“What’s going on, Mia?”

I hobbled over to the couch and took a seat beside her. She didn’t answer right away. Instead, she lifted my arm and snuggled into my chest.

“Is everything okay?” I asked. “Did something happen while I was out?”

“A lot happened,” she sighed. “I got a call from Nick in the middle of the night telling me my mom is in jail.”

My heart sank in my chest for her. Naomi had been a thorn in Mia's side for as long as I could remember, and it didn’t seem to be coming to a halt anytime soon.

“Beats me. I haven’t seen or heard from him since he ran off. I rode around looking for him all night. No sign of him.”

I knew where Nick liked to hang out. I only knew because my squad had to go up there a few times when the neighbors would call and report a fire burning in the woods. It was a small hangout near a waterhole in the woods. I was sure that was where he’d be if she couldn’t find him anywhere else.

“I just don’t get it,” she said. “After all we’ve been through with her, why does he have so much love for her? Can't he see that she’s toxic and only thinks of herself? Doesn't he know that the best place for her to be right now is in jail or a rehab center? If she keeps going the way she’s been going, I fear she’ll end up hurting herself or doing something that will get her a lot more time than what she’s probably facing now.”

I felt for Mia and her brother. From experience, I knew how hard it was to detach myself away from my own mother. I dealt with a
