CHAPTER 34

  Olive's P.O.V.

  "Lucas?" I furrowed my brow as I opened both eyes. "What are you doing here?"

  "I thought you could use some company." He smiled.

  "Oh did you?" I sat up, no longer relaxed in the slightest.

  "Yeah, I know you have too much going on in your head. Honestly, I couldn't get you out of my head." He shocked me with his revelation.

  "I don't want to think about any of that. I just want to pretend like everything is fine and not falling apart all around me." I sighed, laying back on my chair again. "I kind of wonder how mom felt when they told her she had cancer."

  "I am sorry, Rose. I hate that her cancer wasn't caught sooner. She was an amazing woman to have passed away over something that could have been cured if caught soon enough." He shook his head as if he were so mad over the fact.

  "No, kidding." I sighed, staring up at the one lonely cloud floating above.
