Tanner's P.O.V
When a man breaks, he shatters... we don't speak about how things make us feel, we try and be strong for those around us, because when growing up, that's what you're taught to do... be strong, don't ever let them see you cry, men don't break they stand tall and face whatever comes their way head on.
He fights for his family for the people he loves, he provides and protects and, the most important rule, don't ever let them see you fall... but all of those things that my father taught me crumbled... I wasn't strong, everyone in the waiting room saw me cry, I broke and I couldn't stand tall anymore. I sunk to the ground and held my head in my hands.
I couldn't face this. No, I didn't want to face it... I couldn't fight... and I couldn't protect her and now people had seen me
