Lost Me Gained Regret

I'd seldom seen Gregory display such a raw, unfiltered emotion.

He seemed on the verge of breaking.

"What if Mr. Abdul and Dr. Andrews both said I should avoid any shocks, would you still tell me the truth?" he asked. Gregory hated lying, but sometimes, he felt he had no choice.

His grandmother meant the world to him.

And the explosion, caused by Mark, was undeniably a result of their own actions, when you got down to it.

His grandmother was innocent in all this.

From the Myers family feud to Mark's vendetta, she had endured so much.

Never before had Gregory been so... cautious.

"I want to be honest with you, but you... I know, emotions can be uncontrollable at times, but you can't let yourself get too worked up," he said, his voice tender yet firm. Hearing Gregory's words, my heart started sinking.

Considering the nightmare I had just woken from, a dreadful premonition washed over me.

It was an outcome I dared not even consider, one I couldn't possibly accept.

"No, don't tell me she's..."

Impossible.

I denied it internally.

Grandma was so good, so resilient. She deserved to live a peaceful life after all she'd been through.

But my tears betrayed me, streaming down uncontrollably.
