However, I did not expect her to fall to the floor and her arms were cut by the shards. Seeing this, Lawson stepped forward and slapped me. "You're crossing a line! What exactly are you trying to do?

I'd borrowed from everyone I could think of, maxed out my credit card, and was still 48,000 dollars short. It was 1:00 AM. I was crouched on a hospital stairwell, calling Presley, sobbing until my voice had gone completely hoarse. "Presley, please, just lend it to me. My mom doesn't have much time. I'll pay you back, I swear," I'd told him. The line went quiet for a few seconds before he spoke, "Your mom's situation is basically a bottomless pit at this point.

Evan shouted, urgency cracking through his voice. “I said not yet!” Levi demanded. “Who do you think we are, Levi?!” Evan snapped. Levi stepped forward, voice carrying across the wall. “We’re supposed to be our nation’s strongest line. If anyone wants to go I won’t stop you!
