CHAPTER THIRTY

Allie stealthily pulled me into a warm comforting hug, with tears streaking down her face.

‘Sister’. I whispered quietly, in a warm loving tone.

‘I thought for sure that he was going to d-’. She began, but I cut her off with a scowl.

‘Never say that’. I frowned, speaking with a slight scowl.

‘Oh Zo, it was awful’. She whimpered, allowing more tears to ruin her make-up.

‘Hey we are going to laugh about this before we know it’. I smiled, hoping that myself.

I could not help but look over at my little brother in his pale blue Hospital gown; he would have hated it. His neck had thick padded bandages around it. Leo looked so terribly weak right now.

My heart hurt just looking over at him but I needed to be strong for not only my sister but for Scarlett too.. she was Leo’s future after all.

‘How are you holding up sweetheart?’. I smiled at Scar, who too had a tear-streaked face.

Even Scar’s curly hair was sticking to her face.
