OLIVIA'S POV"I'm so sorry, but we lost your mom. The illness had spread too far, her kidneys were completely failing. You and your brother were just too late. I’m truly sorry... Please, try to take heart."The doctor’s words slammed into my chest like a wrecking ball. The world spun around me like fame. Everything blurred. My vision clouded as tears welled up in my eyes.
