"NO!" Katie's mother yelled as she was grabbed by her husband, "No...My baby...no."

Nikki and Derrick held their older brother as he broke down completely. The thought of losing her never came to his mind until that point.

One by one, minus Katie's family, they all went in, her family together, and visited her. Bradin went last because he was scared and just needed to tell her several things she needed to know. His time came and he walked in to her room. He walked up to the bed and was speechless at first. Then, he just broke down.

"You can't leave me, Katie. You can't," he cried, "If you leave, I'll have no one here that I can turn to if I need to talk to someone and they'll listen and try to help. I'll have no one to hold, kiss, or love. I need you so much. You've changed me for the good. When we met, I thought I was wasting my time, I'll admit, but I got to know you and who you are on the inside. I've fallen for you each time we saw each other. Right now, I'm falling deep for you. You can't leave. You just can't. Please stay."

He sat on the bed and held her as he cried into her chest. As he cried, he felt something touch his side. He peered down and saw Katie's hand. He looked up and saw her eyes slightly opened.

Outside, Nikki and Derrick were watching their older brother with Katie. They saw him kiss her and then start crying again.

"Does he love her?" Katie's brother asked the two kids.

"Yeah," Nikki said looking at him, "She's his world. There was not one day when he came home from spending some time with her and he did not smile. He always smiled when her name was mentioned, if he saw her, or she popped into his mind. I can't see him lose someone else he loves more than hisself."

Bradin left even though he wanted to stay. He had to get home so his aunt wouldn't worry when she got back. She arrived at home and saw Nikki and Derrick.

"Hey you two," she said, "What's wrong?"

"Katie is going to die within the next week," Derrick said.

"Where's your brother?" she asked.

They pointed to his bedroom. Ava walked to her nephews room and knocked. She placed her ear against the door and heard him crying. She opened the door and walked up to his bed where he was laying down.

"Brae," she said sitting on his bed and placing her hand on his back, "I'm sorry."

"I need her so much," he said, "I told her everything, except one thing, today when we went there."

"What is that?" she asked.

He sat up and looked at his aunt. "I love her."
