Beatrice's POV

I finally found the courage to tell him.I finally told him about my secret.It was about time because I don't think I would've been able to hold it inside any longer.I felt so relieved after this because I hate lying and now,I told him absolutely everything.

I explained Harry that I've been diagnosted with acute leukemia more than two month ago.I often have appointments at the hospital just to check on my health and I have to take pills to control the cancer before it gets worst.I explained him the effects that they have on me; appetite loss,fatigue,nausea and hair loss.Yes,my hair are already starting to fall off...which frighters me.I told him that I'll have a steam cell transplant in less than two months and that it could go wrong.The doctors said there's high chances I die from it.

"That's why I stopped you Harry.I'm already really attached to you and I don't want any of us to get hurt." I admitted,still crying my heart out.

Because it's true.I am falling in love with him even though I know I shouldn't be.I know he wouldn't want to date a girl who has cancer,and I don't blame him.

Harry didn't say anything,he was just looking at me.I could tell he was speachless and shocked about everything I just told him.It was a lot to take in.

"Look" I continued. "I'm sorry I didn't tell you before and I understand if you hate me.Truth is,I never thought I would've ever need to tell you because I never thought I would've let myselft fall for you.I was sure I would've been able to resist to you and to end our friendship,but I didn't find the strenght to do it.You're such a great guy Harry,you deserve way better than me.I'm so sorry...Goodbye." I got up to leave because I couldn't stand watching him that way.He looked so sad and it was breaking my heart.I didn't really want to leave Harry,but I had no choice.It was better for both of us.

"Wait." He grabbed my hand and led me to sit back down.

"I don't want you to leave."

My gaze met his.His eyes were filled with water which made me cry even more.

"But Harry,I have cancer."

"I don't mind." He wipped the tears on my cheeks.

"You don't seem to understand Harry.I might die in less than two months!" I almost yelled.Just thinking about it makes me cry,but now,telling it to someone who means a lot to me,torns me apart.

"Listen,from the minute I saw you and I knew there was something special about you,and I was right.We went out a couple of times and I got to discover this amazing girl who is so funny and who seems to enjoy life so much.To me,you are simply perfect.And now you are telling me you have leukemia.I'm not gonna lie,I would prefer if this was only a dream,that I'm gonna wake up soon and realise this isn't true,but it's not going to happen.Life is life,it can be so unfair sometimes.But we'll get throught this together,I think you need me just as much as I need you right now."

To these worlds,I cried even harder,if that's even possible.How could he do this to me?He's making it hard for me to leave now,but I can't be selfish,he doesn't have to go throught this.

"You don't need me Harry,I'm just going to ruin your life.What's going to happen it I die?" I hate thinking about this,but I have to,I can't lie to myself,it's going to happen...

He lifted my chin up so that I met his gaze again and intertwined our fingers together.

"I don't ever want to hear those words again.You are not going to die and what ever you do won't make me change my mind.I'll stay with you,forever.Believe me,everything is going to be alright.

I was still crying,because I realised how much I do need him now.Harry is so carying and I know he's being honest.If there's one thing I've learned about him is that he's not a liar.

He leaned forward and rested his hand on my cheek before kissing me.It was a soft and passionate  one.The kiss sended shivers all over my body.It felt so good,I could have stayed like this forever.It was magic,the kind of kiss you remember for a lifetime.

Harry pulled away.

"I love you sweetheart." He gave me another kiss,on the nose,this time.

"I love you too." I whispered.

This has been a great night despite everything that has happend.I finally get to be with the one I love without having to hide anything.This is a great feeling.

We spended the rest of the night in my apartment cuddling and watching tv.After a while,Harry must've notice that I was starting to be tired because he offered me to leave.I accepted.

"I'll see you tomorrow?"

He didn't even let me time to reply before he crashed his lips on mine again.

But of course I wanted to see him again tomorrow.

I'll be there.♥Where stories live. Discover now
