Over the next few days I went back to school. Lillian had to stay on the hospital and no one was sure if she would ever come back to school. Everyone asked me what had happened and how she was doing when I was at school. It seemed the Jordan and Damon were more worried about her than I was. They even went in to see her every Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday. Looks like she became the popular girl for both dating me and being sick;good reasons and bad.

After school I would go to her house and pick up anything she wanted then I drove to the hospital and stayed there holding her hand until 2 in the morning. I would go home, lay in my bed missing her and praying that I wouldn't get the phone call saying she was gone. Then I fell asleep and repeated the cycle all over again. The pain if her not being there with me was in bar able.

It was a Saturday morning when I walked into her hospital room only to see her crying and saying "Please don't let me die. I am not ready." My heart melted. I knew at that point that I had to make our last few months the best few months of her life.
