“I don’t think I can do it, Spencer.” I said, shaking my head. “I can’t… I can’t.”
“You can. I know you can. You’ve taken care of Kendra, Matthew, Sam and Lexie for the longest time. I have so much faith in you, Kyla.” He said calmly. “You are going to stay here, and my mom and I will help, Kyla. I promise.”
I didn’t say anything. I just pulled my knees up to my chest and wiped my teary eyes. Spencer came forward and put his legs to the side of mine and put his head on my head. His hands came to the side of my face and he lifted my head and kissed me. I almost didn’t feel it; it was as if I was numb from all the pain. I closed my eyes and sniffled more, and Spencer began to rub my back.
