According to Olivia, the scariest day of her life was when her brother Cade fell from a pier onto some rocks...badly cutting his head. "I watched him being taken away by the ambulance," she recalls. "Wed always been really close; and now I was rooted to the spot where hed fallen, as all our moments together came flooding back.
