Chapter 30: Chapter 30: Relief

"I don't want to go!" Thomas screamed as he wrapped his little arms around my waist. Damian was in the car, waiting for me to drop Thomas back to the hospital. Jace was waiting for us inside because my little brother didn't want to let go.

"You have to, Tommy" I said as I dropped to my knees so that i could be eye level to him. "It will be for your own good" I said. He wrapped his arms around my neck and hugged me tightly.

"Don't leave me here, Athena" he begged, making my heart break a little. I heard the door open and soon, Damian walked to us. He squatted next to us and stared at my little brother as the latter pulled away. Tears were now rolling on Thomas's cheeks. "Damian, please tell her not to leave me here" he sobbed.
