Next morning I just lay in bed feeling sorry for myself. Over thinking what's going to happen. But the truth is, I don't know what's going to happen. God it's killing me! But it's killing Hugo more. He doesn't understand how bad this is or how bad it can get. The fact is he thinks I'm going to fly through this. I know I'm not. I just keep on a brave face for him to keep him satisfied.

"You coming to get some breakfast" he shouted. I waited a few seconds until I replied "yeah, just a minute" ". Slowly I began to sit my untouched body up and faced towards the cream door. To be honest I didn't have the guts to go down stairs and face him. So I just sat facing the lonely door for a moment. By this time I knew I had to attempt at getting up and facing the real world which can be cruel. I clutched my hand on the door and forced it open. Trying to walk down the stairs as quiet as possible. But that didn't work. A enthusiastic voice appeared from the kitchen "you alright? I made pancakes" I laughed because we knew that was my favourite thing in the whole world. I replied "why thank you darling" I heard a giggle. So I began to pick up my pace and I rushed to the kitchen to find the table full of pancakes and fruit. This was heaven. "Hugo" I began to say "this is amazing I'm quite shocked you could do this" I continued. He gave me a cheeky smile and said "well I just thought you deserved this". The smile whipped off my face immediately and turned into something very the opposite. He could tell I wasn't happy with his response. "This is all because I have cancer!!!!! Really?" I cried. He began to speak " no..". I interrupted him "no? Well I know it is. Ever since I found out everything's been different!" I couldn't finish my sentence as I burst in to tears. He began to comfort me but I pushed him away. You could see the upset in his dreamy eyes. I turned my given up head and began to walk to the door. But this time was different because I didn't turn back around to look at his face, I decided to keep on walking. I slammed the door behind me. But I waited on his door step because I didn't have the nerve to walk away because I knew he didn't mean it. But I also didn't have the nerve to walk back in either. I thought he was going to come look for me. But I heard nothing. It started getting cold, and I began to shake. But the shaking turned into crying. I was that cold tears came flooding down my blue face. Until I heard I a vicious noise come from inside but I was still debating whether to go in or not. But I didn't need to come in because something came out. The body looked down and a sound of relief came from its mouth. That's when I knew it was Hugo. He shut the door behind him and sat down next to me. "I didn't know if to look for you or not but I decided to come looking for you" said Hugo. He continued "you been out here all this time?" I replied "yes, as soon as I slammed the door behind me". He took of his coat and wrapped it around me. "Why didn't you come back in?" He pronounced. I said "I was to embarrassed". "You shouldn't of been" he said. I pulled my hand up and placed it on his, he frantically twisted is hand around and emerged it with mine. I placed my head on this shoulder; he squeezed my hand even more and placed him other arm around my waist.

We stayed outside for a bit and looked at the fascinating sky above us, it reminded me of last night when everything was so simple and so uncomplicated, I wish it could stay like that forever. We admired it for a few more hours. He whispered in my ear "imagine if the sky was full of nothing?" I slowly replied "what exactly do you mean?". "Well imagine if there was no stars?". I confidently said "there would be no point in anything, they hold many secrets and I wold like to know some of them". "There would be no point in us either" he said. "Because you are my universe and what's a universe with out stars". My heart dropped and my face light up. That's was the sweetest thing he'd ever said to me. I didn't know what to reply but "I love you". "You hungry?". "Yeah" I replied. "Chinese maybe?" He asked. I just smiled and nodded my head. We went inside and changed our frozen cold clothes into our warm, comfy pjs.
We sat waiting for the food to come, trying to get our mind off being so hungry! it kind of worked because, we just talked for a bit about random stuff like the first time we met " do you remember the fist time we met? I was strolling down the park, and I stopped and sat down opposite the fountain. You came up behind me and sat at the other end of the seat. It was dark and quite. I just sat there admiring the fountain. And I'm pretty sure you were doing the same. I glanced over for a second, and glanced back. But I looked at you again and watched your eyes circle around the glowing fountain. You seemed confused or frustrated. But you looked so innocent and I found myself looking at you for ages. I got so intense in you beautiful face I hadn't realised you may look back. Well, you did and you looked directly in my eyes. I quickly turned my head around to face the fountain. But i hesitated and looked back after a few moments but you were still looking. I smiled, you smiled. I didn't know if to move closer or to keep smiling. I decided both. I creeped towards you, still smiling. After that we began to talk. I remember that night like it was yesterday." I was astonished, I couldn't get any words out of my drooling mouth. He remembered that day, every tiny detail! "Wow! You remember" I said. "Of course I remember, I couldn't not remember that perfect, unforgettable, magical night. The night I met you". I couldn't stop staring at him, he knew what I was thinking.

The door bell rang. It was the food. He rushed up and grabbed the change off the clean bench and walked to the door. He shut the door behind which made a loud thud. "Do you want a plate or do you just want to eat it out of the container?". "Anything" I replied. He brought the Chinese in, and placed it on the coffee table in front of me and picked up the remote. "Netflix?" He asked. "Hmm, Friends?" I muttered. He flicked the remote and put friends on. I reached over to get the Chinese and placed it on our laps. "Okay.... Seriously, breathe louder Ross! That's great!" "Y'Know we should probably ask the doctor if she even knows how to deliver a baby that's half human and half pure evil!" I began to laugh. "God, how can you find that funny" he asked "how can't you? It's the way they say it Hugo". He rolls his eyes and I just laugh. "What you laughing at now Emily?" He insisted . "you! The way you roll your eyes, when I say something". We just laughed and I get up and pour our left overs in the full bin. I quickly get the snuggle from behind the wardrobe and sit back down and put my feet across him. With the quilt on top of us. We stay up for a bit watching friends, episode after episode. Laughter after laughter. I see him close him eyes. I wait 5 minutes and then turn the TV off. The room turns black. I began to drift off knowing he's mine.
