KAIDEN STIRLING
The teacher looked taken aback by Safiya’s words and through the worry and anxiety I was feeling,
I could not help the rush of embarrassment that flowed through me.
“Luna, there is absolutely no way that Cisco could have saved Harper. He must have known that yet
he tried to help her and that resulted in both of them falling,” she said, speaking out her mind.
The weight of the situation I was being faced with hit me fully and I realized that I could very easily
lose both of my children in one day. With the injuries I was seeing on them it did not seem like what
two young children could endure.
Tears fell down from my eyes and I wiped them speedily, not wanting anyone to see them.
I was about to turn around and face the window until I was strong enough topletely stop my
tears but I was distracted by someone rushing into the room. It was Freda. She must have heard
the news. Oh no…
Francisco was like her world, her life. If anything happened to him…
I did not want to imagine what would happen.
“Cisco… Francisco!” She called, immediately hurrying to his bedside, seeming oblivious of
everyone else in the room. That

was how anxious she was.
F**k.
“What happened to him? What exactly happened to him?” She turned to the teacher with tears in
her eyes grasping her hands and urging her to tell her what had caused her son to be in this
state.
“Harper was falling down the stairs and he tried to stop her from falling. They’re still children, Freda.
He could not hold his weight and hers… And he fell too. They had been ying,” the teacherUpstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g
exined regretfully and I was selfishly happy that I was not the one that had to remember and tell
that story over and over to the parents of the injured children.
“Harper?” Freda whispered and as if something clicked in her head, she looked around the room
and sighted Safiya and I. She blinked before looking back down at her son as ars started to stream
down her face. “Francisco,” she whispered as she ran her hand over his hair. “Oh my baby,” she
sobbed, running her thumb over his bottom lip that had a small cut. It had been treated but it was
still red and rough looking.
I looked at Safiya who had been pacing beside Harper’s bed when I realized that she had been
quiet for too long. It was toote. She was already advancing towards Freda with her hands.
clenched into a fist.
She was mad. Very mad.
But her anger was not warranted because I was sure that Francisco was not responsible for Harper
getting injured. They cared about each other too much to hurt each other. If he had tried to hurt her,
why was he so severely injured?

“This is all your fault,” Safiya said through gritted teeth, wiping furiously at tears that left her eyes.
“Safiya,” I called her name in warning.
Freda looked up at her slowly. There was pain in her eyes but it was gradually turning to anger.
“Excuse me?” Freda asked, probably trying to be sure she had heard Safiya right. “I was not even
there. How is this my fault??” She questioned, looking at Safiya like she was the most s**d thing
that had ever happened to this world.
I was so ashamed and embarrassed. Maybe she was.
“Your son pushed my daughter,” Safiya insisted. “Your b**d of a son pushed my daughter and got
her hurt!” She said, taking a step closer to Freda.
Freda’s brown eyes seemed to sh the color ofva for a second before she took a deep breath to
calm herself. “The father of my son is right over there, so I’m just going to ignore that b**d
comment,” she said in a calm tone.
Safiya’s face turned red with anger and I was not sure what had caused her anger. Freda’s calm
tone or her words. Maybe both.
Freda was far from done. “You have no idea how absolutely ridiculous you look and sound saying
this in front of everyone. My son pushed your daughter? How did he get those injuries? How is he
unconscious right now? Not everyone is cruel like you, Safiya! Just because you can do something
like that doesn’t mean my son can!” Freda ranted. Tears started toe down her eyes again and
my heart broke.

Not only did she have to face her son in this state. She also had to endure her sister saying a load
of usatory nonsense against her and her son.
“Safiya, that is enough,” I sighed taking a step towards them. “You don’t get to tell me what to do,
abuser!” She yelled at me, causing me to pause in my tracks.
What?
Freda nced between Safiya and I with confusion and I looked away from her before I could see
the hatred she held for me intensify at her sister’s words.
Freda and Safiya were not on good terms but I knew that Freda would not hesitate to support her
sister when it came to me.
I decided to back off except this became physical They needed to handle themselves. I had children
that were probably legally
hurt.
Safiya squared up to Freda, with her face in Freda’s face. “It’s your fault he’s hurt though, don’t you
think? Regardless of what happened, you brought him back here. If you hadn’t, he wouldn’t have
been hurt right now. You came back. With him. You
brought this on both of us!” Safiya yelled thest sentence and Freda’s eyes went from angry to
sad.
Shit. Shit, I was going to have to intervene whether they wanted
me to or not.
As I took a step towards me, a child rushed in. He seemed to be a year or two older than Harper
and Francisco.
“Francisco did it,” he said breathlessly, like he had been running.
Chapter 55-
The teacher who had been watching the drama with wide eyes looked at him.
“What did you say?” She asked. “I was there. I saw Francisco push Harper and she held his hand to
stop herself from falling. Two of them fell together,” he said and the whole room went silent… Before
Freda exploded.
