"Maybe it's time that I start helping instead of letting people die.!!" I yelled. "Dakota, if you face all of them alone you will die!! Do you not get that?! Do you want to die?" "Sometimes it's better than living " I say as I walk towards the metal door. My hand gets to the knob before I'm grabbed. I freeze " Kody, please don't go..?" "Kody, please don't go." Jacob says to me softly. "Sometimes you have to die to live " I say snatching my hand away and walking out the door. Immediately I'm blinded by a light, then... Darkness

The brush of an arm, the tap of a hand, any skin to skin contact and Dakota Grinn is plagued with the horror of that person's death. He sees the Number, the date they'll die, and feels the pain they encounter when they do. Skin melting, knife twisting, bones cracking; Dakota feels it. And he's sick of it. Abandoned by his parent's because of his "gift", Dakota hops around foster home to foster home. The beginning of his 8 days start at a new foster home with a kind, understanding foster mom with a too low Number. As the 8 days pass, Dakota meets Andy, an adorable, sweet guy that insists on being his friend. Normally secluding himself from people, Dakota feels drawn to Andy. Is it the fact that his cute face takes his breath away? Is it because his light, gentle voice calms Dakota instantly? Or is it how whenever he feels Andy's Number, Dakota is filled with warmth and love and the feeling of having lived a long, happy life? And the strangest thing; Dakota sees himself right there with him, holding Andy lovingly in his arms. Even with the single source of warmth, Dakota is still left with the fear and pain of others' deaths. But only 8 days. He only needs to last 8 more days. Then Dakota ends it all. Or will Andy be able to save him in time?
