Out Of Bounds (Balls To The Walls) (14 page)

“Mason.”

“Karen he’s in surgery.” I pushed the words out as gracefully as I could. In a second I noticed Masonia trailing many steps behind her parents. My niece was here. I wondered why I hadn’t even noticed her. Karen’s solemn face had blocked out everything else and overpowered me. My niece was white as a ghost.

As much as I wan
ted to look at her I don’t think I can bring myself to acknowledge her presence. If she breaks I will surely break with her. If something ever happened to my sister it would devastate me. Karen is like a second mother to me. I have a full understanding of the love shared between a brother and sister.

Masonia is named after me. My sister loved me enough to name her kid after me. I am too overwhelmed by this. I needed to instantly build another layer of brick around my heart. That’s just what I did. That imaginary concrete barrier was a godsend.

“He’s in surgery.” Karen repeated as she turned to her husband who was standing behind her. Masonia inched closer to us. Her eyes were on Deja’s bloody clothing. I took a step toward my niece. Now I had the strength to embrace her. Her body needed a hug. Mine did too.

As I moved toward her I saw her eyes flicker and roll back in her head. I moved fast but I was too late. Masonia fainted. Her small body went limp and crumpled to the floor like she had been thrown from a moving vehicle. Her father and I made it to her at the same time. We were both on our knees on either side of her. He had her head cradled in the crook of his arm.

I wanted to shake her but she was so small and fragile. “Sonia, Sonia wake up Sonia!”

There was chaos
all around me. I could hear my sister screaming.

Officer Montgomery had crouched to his knees and I think he was checking for a pulse.

The commotion was surreal as the nurses came into our huddle and took over completely. One of the nurses reached into her scrubs pocket and retrieved an ammonia inhalant. The nurse cracked it under my nieces nose and jolted her back into consciousness.

Tears leaked from the corn
ers of Sonia’s eyes as she stared into her father’s face.

“Dad, what happened?” Sonia asked as she came to
and noticed her surroundings.

After Sonia was brought to her feet she was directed to a chair. Time moved in slow motion and we never got an update on my nephew’s condition. We all were together
but in our own little bubble.

Just like before
, eventually two doctors made there way toward us and before they could say a word I knew RJ had suffered the same fate as my mother.

My life was going well. I had everything I wanted but these two doctors had the words that would devastate my family. I wanted to run but I stood there and braced myself for the truth.

RJ is dead?

Authors Note

I finished the last book in the Balls To The Walls Erotica Series. It feels good to put Mason and Kari to bed. This book was similar to the last one in that there was a lot of dialogue. What made this installment unique was that this was the first time we got a glimpse at the inner workings of the Jack Unger character. I felt the need to change up and also give the readers that were rooting for Jack a view into his personality. Plus Jack was an integral part of the storyline so I wanted him to grace a cover and maybe throw a few folks off balance.

I know. I know. I know. Why end it like this? I couldn’t help myself. I love cliffhangers and who knows in six months I may have more ideas centered around the Palazzo family and Deja.
For future reference, cliffhangers are my style. I end my books in cliffhangers. So people dislike this but this is how I create. Life never needs and my books have the possibility of going on.

Now I need a to start working on something else. I love all the readers who supported my works and my journey into this new genre. Sometimes I could have a bad day, I mean a terrible day and I would get a good review or a Facebook post and it would just help take my mind off of negative or tragic things. So thank you so much for your support. It means more than you know.

Now what’s next for me? I’m going to write two books in my other pen name. I will also work on one of the many books I started and never finished. I will also get a proofreader, editor and a beta reader for my next books before I make them available to the public. I’m in dire need of a beta reader and a proofreader. So I will make that happen. I was an unable to shop for an editor for the Balls To The Walls Series because of unrealistic time constraints. I have learned from my mistakes. I will probably get another IR out somewhere in between the books I have planned. Thanks again for your support.
