"I never even saw Dan again, and my mom would go ballistic on Lily if I wasn't there to protect her." I was stuck in my place. My heart was heavy. "And my poor, Lily isn't even aware that the one she calls mom -just because I call her that- is actually her hateful grandmother." I couldn't comprehend what she was feeling. She suffered a lot. She lost her only family. She was abused in so many brutal ways. They scared my angel for life. "These monsters took my sister away from us..." She was shaking terribly as she cried, and my heart broke for her. "L-Loraine left me a-all alone... I am a-alone because o-of them."
In an instant, I had her in my arms. "You can never be alone, baby." She sobbed between my arms that tightened around her. My angel went through a lot. I wish I met her sooner. "
