I walked into the room and immediately regretted it. Adam looked terrible. I could feel the tears stinging at my eyes, but tried my hardest to fight them back. My big brother, the one who used to protect me from the monsters hiding under the bed, and even the ones lurking in my head...
"Hey, Mellie." Adam smiles as I sit down in a chair next to him. His lip is cut, and stitched together.
"How are you?" I try to stay calm, but seeing him like this makes me feel so helpless and child like.

"Stop. Please. It's bad enough I had to watch you get beaten up by my best friend,"
"Melinda." He sighs. "Things are different now. Mom misses you. Ron misses you too, and grandma..."

"You left on your own. What happened...that was nothing."

"What news?"
"It's grandma. She's...dying."
