The rest is going to be in Jenna's POV because it can no longer be in Sasha's POV 👍

I woke up gasping for air and felt someone over my nose and mouth. I also realized I was strapped down to a stretcher.

"She's awake officer." I heard Sasha's mom, Anna, say.

"Mrs. Valentine? What's going on?" I asked.

"You fainted and now we're on our way to the hospital." She grabbed my arm and continued. "You'll be okay."

I looked up and noticed her face was tear stained and her eyes were red and puffy. "Are you okay?" I asked.

"Honestly," she sighing. "No."

"Do you want to talk about what happened." I said quietly.

"I just wish I'd known." She said as she shoved her face in her palms. "Now there's going to be a back to back funeral. James's and Sasha's."

"I'm so sorry Anna. I tried to stop her, but I just couldn't."

She looked up and tried not to meet my gaze. "What were her last words?"

"Are you sure?" I said not knowing how she would react if I told her.

"What were her last words?" She repeated.

I took a deep breath and repeated what I'd heard. "'It's too late.'"

I looked at her and it looked as if her heart had shattered as she continued to sob.

"I'm so sorry, again." I said as I let her cry.

A lesson I learned that day, is that sometimes people need room to heal. It makes dealing with someone's loss easier sometimes, but other times, all you need is a shoulder to cry on.
