Flashback:
Drew's girl 2019
"What is she doing here?" Drew asked seeing his daughter entering the hospital room
Karen quickly stood in defense heading toward Kierra who looked to be heartbroken , "are you serious?" Karen asked her husband,
"Just so you know Drew, Kierra's been coming here more than you... she's been by our mother's side ever since she entered this hospital" Ethan said to Drew,
Kierra had tears in her eyes as her mother covered her in an embrace.... she knew this would be extremely tough for her since Kierra was super close to her Nana.
"It's okay baby" Karen whispered to her daughter .
They lost mother Sheard just earlier in the day, it was expected from what the doctors told them since there was no hope as the cancer spread across her body, but now that it actually happened it hit deeper than holding on to hope for a better outcome.
Drew had to set his differences aside for the family, it wasn't the time for petty fights... his mother had just died and the family needed love and peace.
His father was out the room , to speak with the doctors and it was just the wives, his brother and now Kierra.
He knew that everyone else will come later and he didn't want to tense the environment any further.
After they buried his mother , after the funeral really Drew sat on his mother's bed wanting to take time away from everyone downstairs, the guest who came to see her off.
It had been a long week, his family was hurt and he was trying to keep it strong for everyone else.
Tears fell out his face at the thought of his mother, today was the final goodbye, that was the last he would see his mother's body, her face in the flesh and it was clicking into his head.
Drew didn't heat the door crack open as he cried into his hands, Kierra walked in and closed it on her way inside.
He cleared his throat after hearing it close, and he tried to wipe the tears away... he looked back to see that it was Kierra, his daughter.
"Daddy" Kierra let out softly walking to the side where her dad was.
"Tell your mom I'll be right down" Drew said to her thinking she came looking for him because of her mother , but Kierra sat next to him
"I'm sorry daddy" Kierra said
"I'm really sorry, I miss my dad... " she cried , Drew listened as her voice cracked .
