I looked at myself in the bathroom mirror wiping the fog from it sighing, I never meant to snap at Kenzie like that but she just doesn't get how hard this is for me she thinks she does but that's not the case here
*Knock knock*
I walk over to the door opening it seeing Layla tiredly rubbing her eyes
"What are you doing up kiddo" I asked walking out of the bathroom putting my phone on the charger
"Mommy said she was going to come say good night she never came" Layla said pouting
"Oh she's in her closet baby hold on ill get her" I say walking to the closet
I walk in coming to a halt seeing blood on the floor but no Kenzie I could feel my heart rate pick up quickly I turned quickly and ran out
"Honey I need you to grab my phone and dial 911 okay?" I said quickly to Layla
She nodded quickly as I ran out of the room starting down the hall looking In every room
"Why the fuck do we have so many rooms" I mumble to myself
My heart and feet stop at the bathroom down the hall from our own seeing Kenzie lying on the floor in a puddle of blood her lips looked almost blue she was pale
I ran into the bathroom and put an ear to her chest not hearing a heart beat I could feel myself wanting to break down but I pushed that away climbing on top of her pumping on her chest counting to 600 I could feel tears slipping down my cheek
"Daddy what's wrong with mommy?!!" She said crying frantically
"Layla did you call 911 like I told you" I asked trying to stay calm I now it wasn't working
She choked out a sob along with a yes
"Okay babygirl I need you to got down stairs and wait for the police so you can let them in can you do the for me" I said breathlessly
She nodded frantically running downstairs
A couple minutes later I could hear heavy boots running up the stairs and paramedics begin to flood the bathroom I let them take over I tugged at my hair my chest heaving up and down
All she wanted to do was talk and I was a dick to her she was preparing me for this if she dies I don't know what I'll do I never told her I was sorry
~~~
I ran to the car Layla in my arms
"Layla I'm gonna take you to grandpas okay" I said buckling her quickly
"No I want to go with you" she cried clutching onto my shirt
"No babygirl I'm gonna go help mommy and when's she's better I'll pick you up"
"NO!! What if she doesn't get better I want to go with mommy!!!" She yelled frantically
I sighed giving in "fine"
~~~
I paced around the private waiting room they placed us in Layla said nothing she just stared at the floor her journal clutched tightly in hand
"Justin?"
I looked up to match the voice with ninas Face she was in a white lab coat and navy blue scrubs
"What are you doing here...covered in blood?" She said confused but as if something clicked she stopped "where is my sister?" She said
I didn't say anything I just collapsed into a chair putting my head in my hands I heard her run down the hall and a small hand on my back I looked up seeing Layla putting her head on my shoulder I picked her up cradling her in my arms
"Its gonna be okay daddy" she said hugging me

Nina's POV
"Give me the file to the patient in 207" I demanded
"I'm sorry Dr.Jacobs that's confidential information" the nurse said
"I DON'T CARE GIVE ME THE FILES"
"It's fine Diana give Dr.Jacobs the files I actually need her help on this case"
I turned and saw Dr.Flynn a tumor specialist walking out of the room I had tried getting into
She handed me the files and I rolled my eyes snatching them opening the my eyes landing on "Glioblastoma multiforme" being a neurosurgeon I knew what that meant, it meant that my sister was dying her chances of life where slim 10% to be exact
"Now that you read the file are you willing to help me? Dr.Flynn said flicking on the MRI scans showing me a large tumor
"Help you what? There's virtually nothing to do Steven"
"I want you to remove it" he said smiling wide
"Are you insane I have a 3 centimeters until I hit her motor function and on this side 2 centimeters until I hit her speech it's so risky"
Was this man high wtf
"If anyone can do it its you this was just like your last case" he said
"Um no in that case it was a least 2 times smaller than this, this is a beast"
"I really believe you can do this but I need you to believe you can do this"
