Bailey’s pov
“Can I have another?”
I bit my lower lip to fight off the giggle but couldn’t fight off the smile as I leaned over the console to plant a soft kiss on Kaleb’s lips.

He nibbled on my lower lip and before I knew it, we were kissing deeply. I was the first to break away, breathing so rough I had to take in a good amount of air into my lungs to calm down my racing heart.
Kaleb litted his hand and cupped my cheek, his thumb brushing against my cheek lovingly. “I love you,” he whispered, every word coming out with such honesty I melted.
“I love you too,” responded truthfully, kissing his nose and giggling when he scrunched it up in an adorable way.
“Babe,” he whined, pouting slightly. “I’m the one who is supposed to do that.”
Frolled my eyes, laughing as I pulled away, but for good measure, I planted another kiss on his nose and jokingly murmur. “I think I rather be the man in the relationship,” with a teasing grin successfully got out of the vehicle whilst he was dumbfounded.
Waving back at him and closing the door, he finally snapped out of it and called me. However, I am already practically skipping to my front door, happier
than twic
“Love you!” I shout, twirling back to give him one last wave.
I can sense his eyes on me, feel them set fire to my skin. God, I love this boy
“I love you too Hower” He said, his voice breathless as though he had so much emotion running through him. I smiled and turned to open the door
The house is silent which is odd because my parents are home. Dad’s car is parked in front and there’s a sweet tang of lemon biscuits being baked in the
My bolly grumbles as I walk to the window, watching Kaleb drive off
“Hey guys, I’m home!” I shout to gain my parents or my sister’s attention. It’s so quiet it makes me uneasy. Our house was never quiet when both of my parents were home,
it was always filled with laughter, jokes, and sounds of kissing and teasing, Never this…silent. Something curled low in my stomach when I didn’t get a
response.
Islowly set my bag down on one of the tables and made my way to the kitchen, making sure to not make much of a sound.
However, when I do get to the kitchen, there’s something brewing on the stove and the cookies now have a tinge of a burnt smell to them. I rush to put off the oven, opening it and fanning my hand over my face as the smell of smoke rises to my nose.
Had mom forgotten about the cookies?
Closing back the oven, I am tempted to call out their name once more but refrain and decide to walk up the stairs to chock.
if anything was amiss it would be better to lay low and be quiet. Taking the stairs two at a time but making sure to not make a sound was proving difficult when my legs were trembling and my heart was racing
1 gripped my phone in my hands tightly, making sure I had 911 on speed dial just in case something wasn’t right.
with fear curling deep in my stomach and my heart pounding loudly in my chest, I hesitantly make my way to my parent’s room. However, on the way there can hear silent sites coming from Lian’s room and froze.
The door is left ajar and there’s light coming from inside.

Chapter 101
My heart thuds and my fingers shook, my hands getting clammy. Those sniffles and silent sobs sound like mom. But why would she be crying?
My teeth sank into my lower lip, nearly drawing out blood as I strut to Lillian’s room, pushing the door open gently to not startle them. “Mom?“!
her little fragile body as Dad held the both of them whispered, my throat running dry when I spot her on Lillian’s small bed, hugging i
My heart sank
There are tears in the eyes of all three of them and I’ve never seen my dad lock so beat up and in pain since the news of Lillian’s diagnosis,
“What’s happening?” My throat feels tight but the words still came out, even though it was low they still picked them up. “What’s going on” My eyes drop to my little sister curled in our parent’s arms, her little teary eyes staring at me sadly
I step into the room, my heart thudding against my chest. Mom is the first to speak, sniffling as she broke down the news that will haunt me forever.
“It’s the cancer,” she croaked out in a painful whisper. “It’s back.”
