Five year old Lucy was playing with the new doll her mother had given to her when suddenly her mother collapsed to the ground.

"Are you alright mama? Mama? What's wrong mama?" But she got no reply, so Lucy quickly ran to her father.

"Papa! Papa come quickly! Mommy fell and won't get back up!" Lucy says scared.

They both run to Layla only to see her already sitting up with our mansions nurse.

"I'm fine. I really am." Layla tried.

"No you're not. You have a high fever. You need to go lie down." Our nurse said.

"Lucy you should get to bed it's late."Jude said helping his wife up off of the floor .

"Okay papa. Goodnight papa. Goodnight mama." Lucy said knowing they didn't hear her. Lucy went to her room and changed into a yellow nightgown with blue stripes and went to sleep.

"Layla you can't hide this forever." Jude says irritated.

"I know, I know. I'll tell her soon. I promi— and how soon is soon Layla! You don't have a lot of time!" Jude yells furiously causing Layla to flinch.

Layla has a disease from when Lucy was born, and it has slowly been killing her and her time here is now coming to an end. But the main problem is Lucy Layla knows she must tell Lucy soon but doesn't know how to or how long she has to do so.
