Forever Yours - A LankyBox Fanfiction Story

Chapter 26 - The Finale (Includes the pOVs of various characters)

KreekCraft's POV

As a Doctor, I'd had to face many challenges, but I would say one of the hardest challenges for me is having to tell a patient's loved-ones that the person they love and care for has a life-threatening illness. Having been a Doctor for almost five years, you'd think I would have become accustomed to it by now. Well, no. And I don't think I ever will become accustomed to it. It's always going to be painful having to give patients and their loved-ones bad news that might arise. It'll never be easy. I guess it's just one of those cons that come with being a Doctor.

I stroked and patted Adam's back as he cried, his tears falling relentlessly from his eyes down to his face. We were now in one of the hospital rooms, where his fiancé, Justin, remained unconscious in a hospital bed. I couldn't help but feel an overwhelming sadness and sympathy for the blond-haired, blue-eyed guy as I watched him approch his lover, while continuing to cry. I had to look away. I could feel a lump slowly forming in my throat and I knew I would start crying along with Adam any minute now. And I did.

"Justin will get through this, Adam," I said, not looking up so Adam wouldn't see I had started crying, too.

"I know," Adam agreed, taking his fiancé's limp hand in his and giving it a gentle squeeze, "it's just... I still can't accept the fact that he has cancer. And I... I don't want to accept it."

"I understand where you're coming from, Adam. But as I said, I'm gonna make sure he recovers. Good thing I was able to diagnose him just in time. He's going to make it. I promise you, he will, Adam."

"Thanks, Kreek. We'll fight this battle with him. Justin and I have been through a lot. We've come so far, and we're not gonna give up now."

Tristan Tales' POV

A few hours had gone by since Adam and KreekCraft rushed Justin to the hospital after he fainted unexpectedly. We were still at the place where their Meet And Greet was held earlier, trying to comfort their worried fans to the best of our abilities, but failing to do so miserably. Not a single one of them could be consoled. It was heartbreaking for me and DJ to see.

A minute later, I heard a notification sound coming from my phone, while DJ's phone pinged right after. We both pulled out our phones from our trouser-pockets and we gasped in unison upon reading the messages displayed on our screens. The two of us had been sent the same message by the same person. Adam.

"Wait, Justin has cancer?" DJ whispered so Adam and Justin's fans wouldn't hear. I shook my head, not wanting to believe the news we had just been given.

"No," I responded to DJ, "no, there's no way, DJ."

"What's going on?" asked one of Adam and Justin's fans. I had to make up an answer and I had to do it fast. I cleared my throat.

"Oh, um, nothing," I lied, twisting my lips into a smile, "DJ just told me he was planning on watching a movie with me, but it turns out it's not even out yet."

"Yeah," DJ joined in, immediately understanding why I said what I said, "sucks for us, but we can just watch another movie. Right, Tristan?"

"Yeah."

thirty more minutes went by. Then, Adam, KreekCraft, and Justin emerged from a taxi. Adam held one of Justin's hands, while KreekCraft held the other, the two of them carefully and lovingly assisting the purple-haired guy with every step he took. As soon as the LankyFam saw them, they didn't have to be asked even once. They all rushed over to Justin, greeting him with hugs and concerned questions. In return, Justin gave them a sweet smile, while offering words of comfort.

"I'm okay," he told them with sincerity in his voice, "yeah, I am sick, but I'm going to keep fighting. For all of you." He paused briefly. Then, turning to Adam, he added: "Especially for you, Adam. We still have our wedding to look forward to." The LankyFam went crazy upon hearing that.
