Chloe Knight is a caregiver to younger brother and sister after her parents are murdered. Not long after the parents death Chloe's younger sister become seriously ill and is diagnosed with leukaemia. In a desperate attempt to get a job she meets Jai...
During the movie Jai's phone rings and he turns the screen towards me. I see his sister's name on the screen. "Answer it. Put it on loudspeaker so we can hear what's going on."
Jai answers the phone.
Jai: Hey, sis. How are Mom and Dad? Charlotte: It's not looking good, Jai. The doctors told us that Mom and Dad had to be put into an induced coma. Also, there's a chance that Mom won't be able to walk again. I hope the doctors are wrong about Veronica not being able to walk.
Jai: Tell Mom and Dad that I will be by tomorrow. Charlotte: Okay, I will call you if anything else happens.
He ends the call.
Aleysa looks at me. "Can we go to the hospital, please? I don't want to watch the movie anymore."
Jai rises. "Okay, let me get my keys and we can go." he walks over to the key rack and he pulls off the keys. "I'm ready."
"You can go. I think I'm going to go to bed." I rise and make my way to the bedroom. I hear the front door open and close. I change out of my clothes and climb into bed.

The next morning I am woken by Aleysa. She looks at me. "Chloe, are you alright?"
I smile at her. "I'm fine, sis." I hug her. "How was the hospital?"
She looks at the ground. "I didn't like it. It reminded me of when Mom and Dad had to wait and find out what was going on with me when I had the cancer the first time. Then when you were with me the second time I was diagnosed with it."
I lift her chin. "It's natural not to like waiting at the hospital. From my experience it's never been good news." I sit up. "Aleysa, I have something that I would like to tell you."
She sits next to me. "What do you want to tell me?"
"When I was twenty I was dating a football player and on his way home from the game he was involved in a car accident. I got a phone call telling me about the accident and I went to the hospital. The doctor's couldn't tell me anything as I wasn't family. I spent hours waiting to find something out about him. When his parent's finally arrived I found out he died during surgery." I begin to cry. "I never really loved anyone as much as him until I met Jai."
There's a knock on the bedroom door and then the door opens. Jai steps into the room and he looks at Aleysa and I. "Are you two coming down for breakfast?"
"Yes," I rise and move toward him. I wrap my arms around him. "I love you."
Jai smiles. "I love you, too." He leans towards my ear and whispers. "I want to take you out for breakfast. Charlotte will look after them while we're gone."
"Where is your brother?"
"He's at the hospital. He sent Charlotte home."
There's a knock on the door and Jai walks over to it. He opens it and standing on the opposite side is Xander.
