Girl Get Rid Of That Jerk by Melissa Johns

Chapter 28

Allison's mom was in too much pain to get any words out. Her lips moved, whispering an unspoken apology that Allison understood perfectly. "I'm sorry."

In that moment, tears flooded Allison's eyes, and she ran out into the snowstorm, feeling like her world was unraveling. "Mom, please don't leave..." she cried.

The ambulance, in a race against time, couldn't afford to wait for her. It sped off, leaving Allison chasing after it until it disappeared from view. Allison stood there, breathless and heartbroken.

That night, Savannah left this world.

Javier stayed by her side all night, consumed by his grief.

Allison had no idea. She hadn't managed to catch up with the ambulance and ended up collapsing in the snow. The family nanny followed her out of concern, and carried her back inside.

That night, Allison was hit with a high fever. She called out for her mom in her dreams, crying on and off until dawn.

When she woke up the next day, she was greeted with the devastating news of her mom's passing.

Allison couldn't bear to go to the hospital for a final goodbye. She was petrified at the thought of seeing her mom's lifeless body.

During that time, she clung to the comforting illusion that as long as she didn't see her mom's body, her mom would be still alive, just on a long journey somewhere far away.
