Chapter 6 – The Family's Silence

Chapter 6 – The Family's Silence

My parents came to the hospital.

Not to apologize.

To persuade me.

"Drop the charges," my father said.

"It'll destroy Preston's future."

I looked toward Sophie's hospital bed.

Her head was wrapped in white bandages.

"What about her future?"

Neither of them answered.

My mother whispered,

"Families forgive."

I stood.

May you like

"Families protect children."

"You protected your image."
