The book that I am reading is If I Stay. What is happening in the book right now is Mia just found out that her brother, Teddy, is dead. She figures this out not by actually seeing him dead but because of willow. Willow is a close of Mia's dad because when they were younger Mia's dad's friend Henry dated Willow and she snapped him back into reality by getting him to stop drinking. Willow is also a nurse, and she is now at Mia's hospital, not at her own hospital, and she is still in her nurse clothes that she normally always takes off right after she is done with work. this makes Mia think that since Willow isn't at her own hospital then that means that she doesn't need to be there anymore for some reason. Mia knows that that reason is because Teddy died and she can't do anything more to help him so she came to visit Mia.

This is a really sad part in the book because after that chapter ends Mia starts telling stories about Teddy. She talks about how when her mom was in labor with Teddy she was there throughout the whole thing and when Teddy came out Mia was the first person he saw, and Mia got to cut the umbilical cord. She talks about how there was certain things that only she could do for him like how when he was a baby and got all fussy, Mia was the only one that could calm him down by playing him a song on her cello. Or Mia was the only one that was allowed to read Teddy chapters from Harry Potter every night. Lastly she talked about her magical kiss. Whenever Teddy got hurt only Mia's kisses would calm him down and he would feel a lot better. All of these stories made her realize that she could never give him magical kisses to cure what has happened to him and that Teddy will never get to do anything ever again. Teddy will miss out on everything that Mia has already gone through, and this makes Mia feel like she should have been taken away instead of him.

Since all of this has just happened in the book it makes it hard to predict what is going to happening next. But it also makes me intrigued to find out what she will chose. now that she knows all of her family is gone, does she really want to live a life without the people that she loves most? Or does she want to die and never get to live her unfinished life? She loves the rest of her Family that she has left and she loves her friends and her boyfriend too, so all of that is very hard to leave and i think it is tempting her to want to stay.I am almost done with this book and i am excited to see happens in the end.
