Skylark pov.

I sat curled up,on the floor of the shower and let the hot water sizzle on my skin.

My shaking hand ran through my hair, and a clump of hair came out.

Making me sob harder into my knees.

How much longer could I keep my illness a secret? If it was already showing....

I don't know how much longer I stayed in the shower. But it felt like hours until I got up and walked out.

I walked into my bedroom, with a towel around my body.

Only to jump out of my skin when I noticed someone sitting on my bed.

Liam.

"What the hell! You can't just-" I cut myself off. I owed him an explanation.

His sad blue eyes studied me. " you've been ignoring me for days. You won't answer your phone, you won't come to school.. I got worried. I had to see you "

I looked away, I had cut him off. I was getting too sick. And I didn't want to bring him down...when I one day stopped breathing.

I heard liam get up from the bed and walk toward me.

I felt him warm hand cup my chin, forcing me to look into his broken eyes.
"You've been crying...Skylar baby, please don't push me away. " he begged and Jesus this hurt so bad.

"I'm fine. " I croaked. This were great. Things have been good. But my body was dying on me. On us. "You should go."

I could feel liam getting frustrated.

He finally snapped. "Why are you being like this? Just 2 weeks ago I told you I-i loved you. I love you. I just want to be there for you.  But all you've been doing is avoiding me" He yelled and I flinched slightly.

I squeezed my eyes shut and took a deep breathe. I forced myself to say it. The words I would never mean when it came to liam. But had to pretend.

Because the death of a lover...would hurt more. Than an ending of a relationship.

"Liam I'm breaking up with you. " I blurted out and I opened my eyes to see liam stumble back. As if I had hit him with a metal bat. Not words.

I'm so sorry liam. But I'm toxic. I'm a bomb, waiting to explode.

Liam opened his mouth to say something but closed it. When he found himself at a loss of words. I saw his eyes get glossy and I felt as if I had been kicked in the chest.

Don't cry Skylar. Don't cave in. This is the best, for him.

Liam stated silent for a moment. "Why are you doing this?" He whispered. "I thought we were ok. "

I nodded. "We were. "

Liam shook his head no and tried to hold my cold hands in his.

"Please, please whatever it is we can work through it. I love you skylar-"
I cut liam off.

"I don't have feelings for you. " I said and my own heart broke in the process.

Liam stepped away from me. Hurt devouring him. "There's someone else isn't there?"
