When those words came out of his mouth I couldn't hold my tears back anymore. I burst out crying and Hunter pulled me back into the hug.

"What? This can't be true!" I cried.

"I only found out a couple weeks ago when you were in hospital. I was waiting by your side but I couldn't breathe so the doctors ran some tests and I... I have lung cancer"

"Hunter... Why didn't you tell me? I could have helped you through this"

"Emma there's nothing you could have done to change this. And only my mum knows, I haven't even told my brothers, I'm too embarrassed" he looked ashamed as tears ran down his cheeks.

"Hunter cancer is nothing to be embarrassed about. It's just something you have to struggle with" I squeezed him tight and we laid down on the bed. For a while no one spoke we just laid in silence.

"This is serious Hunter, I'm sorry. I wish I could do something to help I really do. You don't deserve this" I apologised.

"Nobody deserves this Emma. You have nothing to be sorry for" he kissed my cheek and sat up in bed.

"That's why I left the room. Because Cam said it's not like we're never gonna see each other again. And, what if I never see them again?" he placed his head in his hands.

"Don't think like that Hunter. We don't know how serious it is yet" I assured him.

"You're right" he admitted.

"Let's get some sleep. We have an early flight tomorrow" I kissed his cheek and laid down in bed.

He laid next to me and we drifted off to sleep.
