CHAPTER 27

  Olive's P.O.V.

  "Clear!" I could hear the doctor's yell from mom's room.

  They had us wait in the hall right outside her door. All I could see through her room window was her limp hand dangling off the bed. Leo held me close to his chest as I cried, waiting for them to tell me she was okay. I knew her time was coming. I knew it would be before the end of the week, but for some reason it still shocked me to get the call. I watched as the doctor shook his head, calling her time of death. I turned, burying my face in Leo's chest. I couldn't look anymore. It wasn't enough time.

  This week was not enough.

  "I'm so sorry, Liv." Leo whispered to me as he rubbed my back soothingly.
