**Hours Later...**
BrianI was glad that Matt permitted us to wait in the waiting room with him for comfort when the doctors and nurses were working on Cynthia's unknown condition. We had been waiting for over 3 hours and hoped by now that there would be answers. Matt was definitely not the same...neither was Kaylyn, who lied against my side with her hand in mine.
"Family of Cynthia Sanders?" the nurse called out, in which we immediately got out of our seats and rushed to follow the nurse into Cynthia's room.
Once we entered the room far down the hall, I could feel all of our hearts break into many pieces at the sight. Cynthia had tubes going in her mouth and arms with a heart monitor and...a mechanical ventilation, which was indeed a life support system. As the doctor approached us, I could immediately see the sorrow in his eyes that made Kaylyn quiver under my touch.
"We tried everything we could," the doctor sighed, Matt's eyes already beginning to get watery at just the sound of how he talked, "Cynthia is not dead....but...unbelievably under our nose, the cancer spread to her brain rapidly, causing malfunction to a lobe that made her muscles fail and cause her entire body to collapse... We are doing everything we can right now...but...if this keeps up, she won't have long to live. I'm so sorry.."
AngelLying against Jackson's chest at his room on his bed was enough to comfort me at the moment. I had kept my phone at the bed-stand the entire time since Dad has been gone. Knowing that he hasn't called yet made me very worried. But it was best not to interrupt him while things are getting figured out with Mom.
God, I hope she is okay....because I can't live a world without her.
"Thanks for being there for me, Jackson," I whispered, his fingers stroking my vibrant hair as I slowly lifted my head to look at his eyes, "It means a lot to me."
Jackson smiled, "No problem, Angel... You mean everything to me..."
After he said that, I knew that there wasn't any time to waste. Leaning my head in, I press my lips to his in a soft kiss before pulling away, "Sorry..."
