The expression on Maddie's face softened. As she focused her gaze on the young boy.
"Jamie no one especially you're mom and dad expected you to save them. As for you're grandfather he made this terrible decision and as far as i know. He's going to pay it for it. All that is left for you to do is heal and move on. The last thing you're parents would want if for to be angry and sad forever." Maddie said.
"I hate my grandpa Dan and my grandma Deb. I miss my momma and my daddy so much but i'm angry at them for leaving me and Lydia behind. That's why i want to go be with them." Jamie revealed.

Maddie looked to the couple. Read through her notes then looked to them.

"How can we help him.?" Brooke asked.
