Aya paced back and forth as the phone rung.

Was she doing the right thing?

It had been so long. How would he even respond?

She looked through the window into room 6. Saw the pale hands of its patient and sighed, this was her only option.

She examined her bandaged leg as the phone continued to ring.

"Hello?"

Her breath caught, a lump was building in her throat.

"Hello?"

The person called again unleashing the last hold to her emotions. With one shaky  sigh she let it all out.

"Devin, our daughter is dying."

"Baby, where are you going?" she asked me, kindly. "Home" i retorted. "But we are supposed to have breakfast together" she said, anxiously. "So that after that you can confidently break up contact with me and have me worrying about where you are, what you are doing and who you are with?" i intoned. "No, thank you." "Nigel, that's what i wanted to talk to you about" breathy, she said. "Talk to me? So there is a secret behind that? What kind of secret is that?" Annika thoughtfully faced down. I took that as an advantage to break free from her. I walked the distance i had remaining to get to my scooter, had my helmet on, hopped onto the scooter and had it on. "Nigel, forget the breakfast. Just give me a moment to tell you what i want you to know" she was all over me again, sad expressions taking turns on her face. "Please, i am begging you as a friend. Don't you go, please." Tears were dripping down from her eyes. "I love you Annika but right now is not a good time for us to talk. I need an alone space" tears slowly coming down from my eyes too i said and rode off, not looking back.

I stop at the door taking another huge breath and walk in. I go up to the desk and wait for the lady to get off the phone which standing here is making me even more nervous She puts the phone down and finally speaks "Yes, how may I help you." how cliché "I have an appointment here for result, I am Keegan Summers." I say she looks up with wide eyes at me, her face pales and she gulps. What?! "The doctor will see you right away!" she says urgently, and buzzes the door open. "go straight down the hall into the last door on the left." she says smiling. "Thank you." I say shaky and even more scared than before. Oh no, even the front counter lady knows about me which makes it even worse. I walk down the hall slowly savoring the moment. I get to the door and breathe. Then I walk in. I see my doctor sitting at her desk doing some paperwork and I shut the door and she looks up and frowns at me. "Keegan sit down please." she says lowly not even looking me in the face. "No I won't, I came all the way here just to find out. I have been sick way to long and I just wannt to know. Just say it, spit it out right now because I am panicking. What's wrong with me?"

💥💥💥💥 Trigger warning 💥💥💥💥 Abuse Situations and suggestions. Read with caution!! Prologue: Race Against Time The clock was ticking. Cam could hear it in the steady beeping of hospital monitors, in the hushed whispers of nurses moving through the sterile hallways. But most of all, he could feel it-in the desperate, suffocating weight of time slipping away. Emily was sick. The kind of sick that made doctors avoid eye contact, that made people whisper outside the hospital room, that made his wife, Crysta, hold onto their daughter's tiny hand like letting go would make everything worse. The diagnosis had come too fast. One day, Emily was running through the yard, her laughter ringing like music in the air. The next, she was pale, tired, her small body betraying her in ways no child should ever have to endure. A rare form of cancer. Aggressive. Unforgiving. And now, the only hope they had-the only thing standing between Emily and the unthinkable-was Penny. Cam's hands gripped the steering wheel so tightly his knuckles turned white. The car's engine roared as he sped down the highway, chasing a ghost of a woman who had barely existed in Emily's life. Penny was a drug addict, a mess, a woman who had abandoned her daughter before she could even say "mama." But somewhere in her broken body, in her ruined veins, was a match. The only match. She was the key to saving Emily's life. But Penny wasn't answering her phone. Penny had disappeared into the underworld she always ran to when things got too real. Cam had to find her, had to drag her back, had to make her see that this time-this time, it wasn't about her mistakes. It was about Emily. The tires screeched as Cam took a hard turn, the desperation in his chest pushing him forward. He didn't have time for Penny's self-destruction. He didn't have time for her excuses. He just needed her blood.
