Running Away

Chapter 47- Running away

Tyler's POV

My mind couldn't process what I just heard.

Run away?

I stared at my mom, completely caught off guard.

It wasn't just the words that shocked me—it was the way she said them. The desperation in her voice. The raw fear in her eyes.

I had never seen her like this before.

She was always the strong one, the one who held everything together, even when it felt like our world was crumbling. But now, sitting in this car, clutching my hands like her life depended on it, she looked so…broken.

Her body trembled as more tears streamed down her cheeks. I could feel her shaking, and it scared me.

"Mom, please, stop crying," I whispered, squeezing her hands. "Just breathe, okay? We'll figure this out."

But instead of calming down, she cried even harder, her sobs coming out in broken gasps. It was like throwing gasoline on a fire—her pain only intensified.
