Noah

Stepping into the hospital roo I didn’t need to think this over I needed it to come to an end

“Noah! What is this?” Bo struggled, pulling against the restraints “Bro, help et out of this”

Walking over to his bedside, I took a seat, staring at him as he was strapped into the bed

“Noah—”

“She was in car accident—bloody, bruised—and you kidnapped her for Frank,” I whispered, sitting on the edge of my seat “You know I love her That she’s mine And you did it anyway”

“I wasn’t gonna hurt her, I swear I was trying to —”

“In what universe is saving Frank—after everything he did to us growing up, after he al? When did you stop hating him?”

He was quiet, falling back against the bed and staring at me, tears in his eyes, as if that would save him

“You leftfabulous life You never looked back I didn’t want your moneyFrank was messed up, but for the most part, he and I started over He ain’t perfect, and he’s a still a mean drunk, but he was tryin’, and you just kept shuttin’ us out We’re family, and you hated us You think it ain’t hurt? I couldn’t let you just throw Frank to the wolves He’s still blood You’d regret it”
