Please don't go. Please Mama stay; Mason pleaded as he held his mothers hand. Henry lied next to her balling his eyes out. Summer was now having a hard time to breathe and was paler than a sun, when the doctor had came, he too had said it was her time. Summer could barely walk or talk the following 8 days after she spoke to Henry. She spent quality time with the kids, her friends and Maddy. She could hear Edi and Nick crying in the background but it was almost inaudible then she saw something bright next to her. It was a ghost of Amber leading her to it
If you have to go, then go. Please don't suffer; Henry said with a shaky voice

Stubborn ladies put up a fuss; Summer said looking at Henry who was crying
Dont ever leave us again; Henry bent to hug her
