Katie sails with Charlie, feels the sunlight, and spends her final moments with him, dying shortly thereafter. Katie, fearing that she is going to die, eventually remembers the time Charlie told her that he wished they could sail together, and convinces Jack to let her go with Charlie, despite it being during the day. Soon after, while hanging out at her house, Charlie mentions that he has to visit the boat for the last time, which he has been hired to take care of the whole summer. Charlie takes Katie out one night, and surprises her by booking a recording session, where she sings a song she wrote for him. Katie goes to Charlie's swim meet with the Berkeley coach, and they hang out at the house with Morgan and Jack. Jack eventually convinces Katie to speak to Charlie, who still wants to be with Katie, and does not care about her condition. She also ignores Charlie's messages as she does not want to hurt him. Katie begins to experience twitches in her finger, which prevents her from playing the guitar. Once the doctors run some tests, they come to the conclusion that Katie's brain is contracting, and it's only a matter of time before she dies. Charlie is still standing at the front door, and Morgan explains Katie's condition to him. Katie runs inside, while Morgan and Jack come home soon after. Charlie picks her up and quickly drives her there, but she does not make it in time, and is exposed to the sunlight for just a couple of seconds. Charlie mentions watching the sunrise, and Katie runs home in fear. Once home, they go swimming out in the lake, and dry off with a fire on the beach. Charlie takes Katie out for a night to Seattle, where they go to a live show, and Charlie makes Katie play one of her songs on one of the city's streets. However, Katie has yet to tell Charlie of her condition, despite her father warning her to do so. He explains to her how he got his injury, preventing him from getting a scholarship to the University of California, Berkeley before kissing her. He returns the next day and gives it to Katie when she shows up to retrieve it.
Katie leaves suddenly and forgets her notebook, which Charlie keeps. One night, her long time crush, Charlie, notices her while playing guitar at a train station. Katie comes out of the house every night, after the sun has set. She is housebound during daylight hours and is cared for by her father Jack and best friend Morgan. Sheltered since her early childhood, Katie Price has a rare genetic condition called Xeroderma Pigmentosum, which forbids its bearer from being exposed in direct sunlight.
