iceburn ☹ a.d.t. ☻ book 3

s t a r t

i once met this pretty girl.

the type just so damn beautiful it hurt.

but that didn't stop me,

and it was a different pain than that i learned.

i almost stopped falling because i was afraid of it.

but everything changes when you find what love is.

it's not about letting someone go because you want to protect them.

because you've got a terminal disease that forces you to sacrifice it.

it's about being with that person you love so much—you don't even really know why or how—that you stay for that sole reason.

and my ellie didn't even care about being pretty. when i'd say she was, she'd ask why. and i realized it wasn't about her face or body, it was all that she was.

that's what i loved, thought was beautiful, about her.

her cleverness, sarcasm, courage and strength. the list goes on and on. she was fierce and had witty, mad brains.

everything in my life just changed with her.

then she died, no warning. colorectal cancer...

at the end of it all, it's hell, but it was all worth the last ice burn.

omfl, this is the end! i know, it tells you nothing of what happens after. i don't think i need to tell you that. it seems unimportant as this was a love story based around two people's short but passionate tale and now that one is gone, that chapter closes. i won't tell you what i may have had in mind for alex, if he lives or dies; i'll let your own imaginations run wild! and i am sorry i had to end it this way, but it was how it was always going to be when i had the idea. how it should always be (see what i did there teehee)...

if you were surprised by ellie's sudden death and that she had cancer too, tell me below in the comments! if you weren't, tell me what little hints (i did leave some) that tipped you off or had you wondering!

okayyy, so thank you if you read this and you loved it or maybe hated it bc it got you so good *miranda sings voice (lol)* or maybe so bad?! and thank you even more if you voted and left comments, it means so much! thanks for over 50 reads on it so far, that's so cool to see and know people are reading (i think?) and i hope you will stay tuned for the next (and last) black stars book called smokebox - eep, so excited to reveal the title! it will feature the neighbourhood oooohhh!!! 😽😻
