NINA.

My secluded room housed many objects that were all familiar to me-from furniture to decorations-as I sat, but my mind thronged everything of anxious thoughts and emotions. I did not know how to stop the auction and the gravity of my helplessness was upper leaning on me as if it were an actual force. I was scrolling through my phone, my fingers moving absently while I searched for a solution, but every path seemed to have an exclamation point at the end.

I wanted to talk, to have someone listen about my worries about everything and if maybe that someone had some words to share: maybe, possibly, probably, that would work. That person would be Alex, friend and confidant, so I decided to call him. So, dialing the number, I did so while listening to my heart thunder before he would pick up his receiver.

    UNCLE SEAN I remained planted in the living room while I watched Audrey stand her ground and her determination showed through her posture. I was shocked by her unwavering stance regarding the company sale. She didn't see why this decision was the best option for everyone. I urged Audrey to listen to reason while maintaining a calm tone. "This sale will benefit everyone involved. This sale presents us with a positive chance to advance. Audrey shook her head while her eyes sparkled with defiance. She declared firmly she would resist any attempt to sell her father's company. I let out an internal sigh while frustration welled up inside me. Why was she being so difficult? Why was she doubting my ability to make the best choices for our family? Bryan told me with a chuckle, "Uncle, please speed up whatever you're doing." We need to stop additional drama from happening here. I gave him a stern look but he responded with a grin followed by a shrug. I exited the area and started walkin

    AUDREY POVWhile sitting in the living room my hand moved through my social media feed without any real focus. A loud voice suddenly filled the air from outside my home. Audrey, what made you decide to do such a thing? How could you?" Bryan's voice boomed through the hallway as he shouted.I stood shocked and bewildered as my facial expression revealed my confusion. Who was he talking to? My eyes remained locked on the entrance as Bryan burst into the room. His face showed angry redness while his eyes burned with intense rage."What's wrong?" I posed my question to him while making an effort to maintain my calm voice."Oh, you ask me that now, right?" Bryan retorted, his tone dripping with sarcasm. Bryan extracted a letter from his pocket and displayed it by waving it above his head. Your actions have made it impossible to sell the company! he shouted. I felt a surge of defensiveness. "How am I because of this?" I asked, my brow furrowed in confusion. "What are you talking about, Bry

    NINA. Mom, Lilian and I made our way to his office after the doctor called. I felt my heart sink when we sat down because the doctor gave me no clues about what he was thinking. "Let's move directly to the main topic," the doctor declared with a firm yet gentle tone in his voice. The transfusion process is progressing normally but there are test results I need to discuss with you. A bead of sweat made its way down my spine when the doctor's eyes met mine. "What kind of test results?" Lilian asked, her voice laced with concern. The doctor gave an acknowledging nod while his serious look showed a hint of newfound optimism. Morel's condition is showing improvement after the blood transfusion. Morel's blood cell count shows signs of improvement while his fever has reduced marginally. The tension melted from Lilian's face as relief spread across her features. She confirmed the positive update to the doctor while her tone became gentler. The doctor nodded. "Yes, it's a positive devel

    NINA The doctor's words remained suspended in the air as my entire world began to fall apart. As Lilian squeezed my hand her fear became evident through her trembling. "What kind of tests?" I posed the question while maintaining a steady tone in my voice. The doctor nodded sympathetically. The medical team should perform imaging studies such as MRI or CT scans to obtain a detailed view of the problem. Lilian's eyes welled up with tears. She begged us to explain the situation with our son. "Is he going to be okay?" The doctor's expression softened. We need to wait for the test results before we can make definite diagnoses. We are doing everything possible to stabilize Morel while ensuring his comfort during this period. I embraced Lilian tightly while we both fought to keep our tears from spilling. Our resolve was tested each passing minute as we tried to remain strong for Morel. "Everything will be okay" I told her through a whisper. "We'll get through this together.” The

A voice inside my head softly confessed my love for Drew.I shook my head, dismissing the thought. "No, I haven't," I told myself while attempting to sound believable. "But he is such a sweet soul." I looked towards the flight path of the plane while I experienced a deep sense of longing. My head rested on the car while I kept my gaze locked on the sky above. The words "I love you, Drew" came from my lips to my ears before I managed to stop them. I sat up straight right away and felt my heart pounding.
