Olivia didn't know what to do, should she runaway from Sarah, Sarah has been so patient with her up to this point would she continue? Also Olivia wondered did Sarah mean what she had said, was she always going to be there for her and not leave her. Would she not try to replace her mother did she just want to be friends? How could she be so sure, Olivia knew that Sarah was her cousin and she knew that she was the only family member that would take her, when her mother had died everyone kept saying no I don't have enough room you take her but not Sarah she said her life was busy but if there was a family member in trouble she would help and help she did, she took Olivia in.
Olivia fell asleep and dreamt about her mother and how much fun she use to have and how much her mother had loved her she didn't want the dream to end. But after awhile it did and her mother was being pulled away from her and she couldn't get to her ever time she ran closer her mother would get farther and farther away, Olivia was struggling to get to her and yelling COME BACK COME BACK MOMMY I NEED YOU DON'T LEAVE ME!
Mac heard Olivia crying out for her mother and ran into the girl's room. She saw that Olivia was still sleeping and that she was only dreaming. Mac went to Olivia's bed and sat down next to her.
"Olivia wake up your having a bad dream sweetheart you need to wake up"
Olivia sat up and Sarah took her into her arms, and for the first time Olivia just let Sarah hold her, hold her the way that her mother had held her.
"Olivia it's going to be alright you don't have to worry I'm here I wouldn't let anything bad happen to you its ok"
Olivia looked up at Sarah she didn't want to cry that would show that she was weak and she didn't want anyone to know that she was weak but she couldn't hold it in anymore it had hurt so much.
"Sarah, Olivia began to cry, Sarah it hurts so much I never really got to say goodbye they said I was too young to go to the hospital room they said I didn't understand, but I do Sarah I do"
Sarah allowed Olivia just to tell her story all she did was listen that was what Olivia really needed now just a shoulder to lean on and cry on and tell her story she needed to let it all out and she would Olivia do this.
"Olivia I know you hurt and I know that you must be angry you can cry it alright to cry everyone does."
"But Sarah if I start to cry I don't think I'll ever stop, I'm so angry why did she have to go. She said that she would be alright I had talked to her on the phone the same day and she said that she was going to be fine that the doctors said that even though she had bad bruising from the car accident she was in good condition she told me and then the next thing I knew my grandma said she was died she lied Sarah, she said she was going to be alright and she wasn't she said she would never leave me just like you say but it's not true it's not true at all."
Olivia began to cry even more this time burying her face into Sarah's shoulder.
"Olivia I know you hurt and I promise you it will go away it won't go away fast it may take along time and from time to time you still might hurt losing a mother is a very hard thing to do I know, even though my mother isn't died she still left me and I felt the same way you do right now.
"What if I lose you Sarah how do I know you still want me how do I know you won't die like my mother did?"
"We don't know Olivia nobody knows that answer but if anything does happen to me you will have someone to go to I will make sure of that, and I won't give you up either if your worried about that it doesn't matter how bad you get I will be there for you, and it doesn't matter how many times you run away because I will always take you back in you need to know that."
Olivia and Mac sat there and Olivia talked about what her mother use to do and how she use to sound and how much she loved her so much. And Mac sat and held Olivia while she did this and even though there was going to be obstacles ahead she knew that they could get through them no matter how difficult they might be, Olivia had taken the first step to her recovery and even though it was a long road they were going to take it together.
