“Azxel, wake up…” The voice came from far away, fractured, like it was traveling through water. Then another voice layered on top, softer, familiar.“Zel… come on, open your eyes…”Azxel’s eyelids fluttered open, white light stabbed in, too bright. The machines beeped steadily beside him. His throat felt dry, his body heavy, like it belonged to someone else.He blinked and Jaelen’s face swam into view, his eyes were puffy and red, his hair was messy, sitting right beside the bed, his hand wrapped around Azxel’s.“Jae…” Azxel’s voice cracked, barely a whisper.Jaelen’s breath caught. He leaned closer, his thumb brushing Azxel’s knuckles. “Hey, hey, I’m here, you’re okay.”Azxel tried to sit up, but pain shot through his head. He winced and fell back against the pillow.

She covered her mouth with her free hand, trying to hold it together. “Jaelen…” she whispered. “Baby…”He tried to sit up but pain lanced through his head. He fell back, breathing hard. “Where is he? He was just… he was hugging me. He apologized and I accepted, He—”His mother’s face crumpled. She sat on the edge of the bed, took both his hands now.“Jaelen, listen to me,” she said, her
