me."
    "Now Garrett you know I can't do that. I made the offer she accepted; I'm not going to withdraw it. Plus, I want to make sure that she will be OK. I will do anything and everything I have to do to make sure that she gets better," Nate told everyone.
    "Well, what about us Nate. How is this going to affect us?" Emily asked.
    "See, that’s the thing I wanted to talk to you about today. There isn't an 'us' Emily, I'm sorry.”
    "What do you mean there isn't an ‘us’? But our date we were supposed to have last night?" Emily asked hurt.
    " Emily, that wasn't a date. I even told you that when we made the plans. I don't have feelings for you anymore. The only feelings I have for you are those of the brotherly kind." Nate told her to try and ease the pain.
    Emily laughed, "Brotherly feelings, you have brotherly feelings for me? I thought you loved me and wanted to try and work this out and try to get back together."
    "I'm sorry if I misled you Emily, I really am. But when we broke up two years ago it's because I didn't love you."
    "But you… "
    "I never said 'I love you' did I?" Nate asked.
    "No, but I thought you were the person that wouldn't say it but expressed it," Emily said through tears.
    " Emily, you know me better than that. You know I say what I mean. If I loved you then I would have said it."
    Emily looked at him and then gasped, "OMG, it's her. You're in love with her."
    Nate just looked at her as Garrett and Christine looked at the two of them wondering what was going on.
    "It IS her. It's been her all along," Emily couldn't believe it. She hoped that he would deny it but when he didn't she stood up. "Well, fine! I hope you are very happy. Just don't come running to me if you get hurt."
    Emily stormed off and left Mapleleaf leaving Christine, Garrett and Nate in the living area. Nate sat back in his chair while Garrett and Christine looked at him trying to make sense of what had just happened. Nate looked over at Christine hoping she would give him some advice but when she didn't say anything he let out a breath he didn't know he was holding in and picked up his bag and headed towards Garrett’s room. Garrett and Christine sat in silence before he left her and went after Nate. Christine was still in shock, she couldn't move.
     
     
     
     

CHAPTER 7
     
    While everyone was in the living area Olivia was in her room unpacking her school bag and looking for something to wear. She finally decided on a pair of jeans, her shirt from a music academy she wanted to go to and her brown tennis shoes. After she got dressed her phone went off. She looked at the screen and saw that it was Garrett’s mom. She debated about answering it and decided that she should, she hadn't talked to her in a while and figured it would be a good time to catch up. This way Nate had more time to get stuff put together. "Hey Mrs. Hayes, how can I help you?"
    "I was just calling to see if you're OK. Garrett called us last night and told us that the cancer was back. Is there anything that we can do?"
    "Thanks for the offer Mrs. Hayes but I'm OK. You don't have to do anything."
    "Well when school is over we will continue your treatments here. I already called Dr. Anderson and he has talked to the doctor at the school and came up with a plan so that way the transition will be seamless."
    "Mrs. Hayes that was really sweet of you but I won't be coming home after the school year ends."
    "What do you mean you’re not coming home after school ends? Does your dad know about this?"
    Olivia sat at her desk and looked at a photo that Ian took of her at the piano. The lighting came through the window just right to capture her passion. She always said that if she got a recording contract she would use this photo on the cover. To her this was perfect and spoke louder than anything. "Olivia, are you still there?" Mrs. Hayes said.
    Olivia snapped out of her trance, "Yes Mrs. Hayes, I'm still here . Sorry, I just spaced out for a moment there. What did you
