It had been a a few months since Brittany gave birth to Tai, it was the anniversary of Olivia's death, the 12th of December, Molly and Adam were at their separate schools, Faith had an idea that something was wrong with her older brothers and sisters but she didn't know what it was.
At Stonewall, Adam was sitting at a table with Tom and Lily, the two knew what today meant and they knew that Adam needed time to think about and remember his little sister, who unfortunately died from Acute Myeloid Leukemia three years ago.
"Adam, I know this possibly won't help but I understand how you feel" said Tom as he rested a hand on Adam's shoulder to gesture comfort.
"Is there anything we can do?" asked Lily as Adam shook his head, his eyes filling with tears and started to cry as he thought about Olivia.
Half of the student body started staring at Adam now and Lily could sense that Adam was uncomfortable, so the three of them stood up and walked into the now empty corridors and once they were there, Adam burst into tears.
"It's not fair!" said Adam as a sheet of fresh, salty tears ran down his cheeks. "We thought that Olivia would pull through but the chemo wasn't working, she was only five!"
"Adam, shh, I know it's hard but Olivia would want you to remember her for who she was, not because of her Cancer" said Tom as he wrapped his arms around his best friend and pulled Adam into a tight embrace, rubbing his hand up and down Adam's back.
"I can't imagine what it's like to lose a brother or sister" said Lily as she kissed Adam gently on the cheek.

Meanewhile, at Sky Heights, the same thing was happening to Molly, after lunch, she, Ellie, Gabriella, Laura, Christina and Rosie were in French class that afternoon and the teacher, Miss Winters, was going around asking how everyone in the class was feeling today.
"Molly, comment allez-vous?" asked Miss Winters as she looked at Molly over her shoulder.
"Je suis très bien" Molly lied, trying to hide the fact that she was upset but she couldn't hold it any longer.
She stood up quickly, grabbed her back pack and ran out of the classroom, Ellie, Gabriella, Laura, Christina and Rosie quickly apologised to Miss Winters before following Molly out of the classroom.
It took the group twenty minutes to find Molly but eventually, they found her sobbing her eyes out in the girls' bathroom.
"Molly?" asked Rosie as she and the other girls walked into the girls' bathroom, hearing Molly's sobs through the door of one of the cubicles.
"Go away!" Molly sobbed as she tried to dry her eyes with a bit of toilet paper but the tears continued to fall.
"Molly, please! What's wrong?" asked Ellie as she knocked on the door, a few minutes later, Molly opened the door and was immediately wrapped in a tight hug from Gabriella.
"It's about your sister, isn't it?" asked Christina as Molly nodded, tears streaming down her pale, flushed cheeks.
Two months earlier, Molly had told the girls about Olivia and her battle against Cancer and how Olivia had died twelve days before Christmas Eve.
"Molly, I'm so sorry!" said Laura as she put her arm around Molly's shoulders and pulled Molly into a hug and allowed her friend to cry on her shoulder.

Later that day, after school, Adam and Molly recieved a text each from Christina, saying that it was 'Urgent'.
Christina: Meet us at the park, c u later!
Molly: We'll be right there! Just thinking about Olivia. :(

When they got to the park, Adam and Molly found themselves being hugged from all directions from their friends and then Tom guided them to a nearby bench and got the twins to sit down.
"Molly, Adam, we just wanted to show you how deeply sorry we are about Olivia and we thought that a song would help" said Lily as Molly and Adam smiled weakly at her before she and the others started singing.
Tom: Sometimes in our lives
We all have pain, we all have sorrow
But if we are wise
We know that there's always tomorrow
Tom and Lily: Lean on me when you're not strong
And I'll be your friend, I'll help you carry on
For it won't be long
'Til I'm gonna need somebody to lean on
Please, swallow your pride
If I have things you need to borrow
For no one can fill those of your needs
That you won't let show
All: You just call on me, brother, when you need a hand
We all need somebody to lean on
I just might have a problem that you'll understand
We all need somebody to lean on
Lean on me when you're not strong
And I'll be your friend, I'll help you carry on
For it won't be long
'Til I'm gonna need somebody to lean on
You just call on me, brother, when you need a hand
We all need somebody to lean on
I just might have a problem that you'll understand
We all need somebody to lean on
If there is a load
You have to bear that you can't carry
I'm right up the road, I'll share your load
If you just call me
Call me (If you need a friend)
Call me (Call me uh-huh)
Call me (When you need a friend)
Call me (If you ever need a friend)
Call me (Call me)
Call me (Call me)
Call me (Call me)
Call me (Call me)
Call me (If you need a friend)
Call me (Call me)
Call me (Call me)
Call me (Call me)
Call me (Call me)
Call me
After they stopped singing, Tom and Lily pulled Adam and Molly off of the bench and motioned for everyone to come over, the group hugged Adam and Molly tightly, seeing the tears in their eyes.
"Thank you" Adam whispered tearfully as Tom wrapped his arms around him.
