Free Kylee's Story by A. Malone Page B

  before he has a chance to scream this boy has a set of lungs on him. Looking at him, he has mine and my mother’s nose. A single tear runs down my face. I lay him down and sit back down to eat my breakfast. Kylee I need to go by the house and pick up a few things for you and the babies are you going to be alright for a while? Yeah will you have them take the babies to the nursery while I shower? Yeah I will roll them down there and be back soon. I walk into the bathroom look in the mirror I look rough I shower and before I can get out Maddox is standing there with fresh clothes. Thanks Maddox that was fast. I’ve been gone close to forty five minutes. Oh let me get dressed and I will be out there in a minute. When I walk back into the room Maddox is dressing the kids in the outfits my mom helped me pick out. Walking over I help him with Talan who is making a fuss not wanting to wear the outfit. Shh little man your fine everyone has to wear clothes. The nurse came in while you were showering and said they will discharge us soon. I nod and place Talan back down. You alright Kylee your kind of quiet. Yep I’m fine, if you want to talk I’m here I’ll listen. I know Maddox but I’m fine there’s nothing to talk about my mom’s dead I can’t change that I said that way too sharply. He didn’t say anything else I think he is afraid I’m going to snap. I’m such a bitch I know all he was trying to do was help but if I talk about it I will breakdown and I have to be strong for them. Nurse Katie walks in, alright guys are you ready to take these little angels home all we need to do is sign a few forms and fasten them in their carriers. Ky you sign everything and I will strap them in, ok Mrs. Kourt these are their birth certificates and just sign here by all the highlighted areas. Were all set Ky.

    We’ve been home for two days and I’ve been on autopilot trying to stay busy which isn’t hard with two newborns. As long as I’m busy I don’t think about mom. Her service is today and I can see the concerned look on Maddox face he’s been great even though I know I haven’t been easy on him. Kylee I’ve gotten the babies ready and in the carriers you almost ready? Yeah let’s go. Dad wanted to know if you felt like speaking about your mom. I shake my head no, that’s not a good idea Maddox it’s just too hard right now. That fine Kylee he will understand. The service went by in a big blur it wasn’t until we were arriving at Ron’s when I realized that Chloe had the nerve to show up and something in me snapped. I sat Harpers carrier down in the living room walked over to Chloe and slapped her across the face. YOU BITCH HOW DARE YOU SHOW UP HERE AFTER EVERYTHING YOU DID I screamed at her. Fake tears fall down her face I’m sorry ladybug all I wanted to do was pay my best friend her respects is that so wrong? She was not you best friend you need to leave. I felt someone grab me from behind, I knew it was Maddox. Ky calm down I will have her leave. Wiggling out of his grip I take the twins carriers and storm off to Ron’s guest room, I could hear Maddox arguing with Chloe and then a door slam. A few minutes later the door opens and Maddox walks in closing it behind him. Kylee we need to talk. About what I snapped. I know you are hurting but you cannot lash out at everyone. I will not let that women come in here and put on a sob act that is an insult to my mother. It’s not my fault your mother is a horrible bitch. Kylee that is enough Maddox said sternly he’s never spoken to me like that before I know I deserve it but still I hurts coming from my best friend. I sit on the floor an start to bail like a baby Maddox scoops me up and puts me in his lap and rocks me like I’m his child. It’s going to be alright Kylee bear just let it all out. When I’m done drenching my husband shirt I look up at him I’m so sorry Maddox I’ve been so horrible to you. Why are you apologizing Kylee I’m not mad at you
