Arianna’s pov
Death is peaceful, quick, and easy. Life is hard and rough. I wanted to give up on life but death won't solve anything. Ms. Madeline would still be in danger, the kids would be forced to live without a mum, my dad would keep on fighting the Reeds and I would be forgotten in no time. I have to see the end of my dad and make him realize how wrong he was to allow my mum to die.

I heard somebody sobbing softly and telling me to keep fighting. I opened my eyes and saw Julian beside my bed with his face buried in his palm.
“Julian, why are you crying?” I asked in a whisper.
“Arianna”, he yelled in surprise.
“You are yelling”, I said and smiled weakly when I saw how surprised he was.
“I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to yell. I'm just so happy”, he said amids
