Chapter 13: Will you?

"Wake up angel, we're here" I hear Sean's voice and I open my eyes.

"Where are we?" i ask sleepily.

"Patience, sweetheart..." he chuckled, "I love giving you these surprises."

He helps me get down the vehicle and we walk to the other side hand in hand. I gasp at the view.

It was a small table set for two on high spot up the hill. The moonlight is the only thing illuminating the place. There was a railing at the other side, probably put up for protection, but it's design and style was just according to my liking. I squeal and run to the railing.

"Oh my God! I love this place Sean! This is amazing...." I shouted in excitement.

"I'm glad you like it baby girl, now it's time for dinner." he says with a huge grin on his face. He pulls out a chair at the table, gesturing for me to sit down. I make myself comfortable and look around to find Sean setting up a few small speakers. Within minutes I hear Love story by Taylor Swift fill the air. The soothing music is just right, it completes the whole scene. This is perfect. This is Life....

We move on to dinner and just as we were finishing dessert Sean gets up and switches the speakers off. Suddenly every minor sound is magnified and the whole atmosphere changes from light and carefree to a mixture of confusing emotions. I have no particular reason but my heart is beating a thousand miles per hour. Something is telling me that something important and joyous is going to happen.

I'm brought back to reality with the sound of Sean clearing his throat. I look up at him and he looks so nervous and scared that I seriously think something is wrong.

"What happened baby, why're you so upset?" I ask, seriously concerned.

'Nah, I'm not upset Leo... it's just..."

"Just what?"

"Just...." he sighed. "Will you marry me?"

"What?" What is this guy talking about? I've not even finished high school, I mean, are you kidding me?

'Yes, I want you to marry me Leona, because, considering your state... I don't know if... I don't know" he looks up at me and I immediately get what he's saying.

What he means is he doesn't know how much more I'll live. He doesn't know how much more time he has left with me. He doesn't know if.... if I'll die in a couple of days.

At that moment everything that has happened in the last couple of days hit me hard. The fact that I'll die soon seems more real to me than it has ever before. The fact that this guy here, he can put up with me for only so long, till he gives up and I die. Till I breathe my last.

And these my last thoughts as darkness clouds my eyesight.

Short chapter, I know but yeah, something's better than nothing.
