Until The Very End

Chapter 28

Elizabeth's POV

I don't know how I should explain this but do you know this feeling of curious mixed with being scared? Like if you know that you will get your exam back but you don't want to know your mark because you're too scared to look at it?

Well that's me right now. I just want to storm out and run of this hospital with the machines with me. Even the word 'scared' is an understatement.
I waited for them to answer scared to pee my pants if they don't answer my question in one second.

"No, he doesn't. I told them not to tell anyone until you want to." Chase said as he sat on one of the chairs in my room.

I sighed in relief. I felt my body relax and tried to sit.

"Mom, dad, could you please let us alone for a moment?" I asked politely.

"Sure honey. Just press the red button beside your bed and Dr. Reyenes will immediately come." my father said and kissed my forehead before they left with Dr. Reyenes.

"You surely have many things you wanna ask me." I said with a little smile.

Alice and Rose nodded before taking a chair joining Chase who sat beside my bed.

I started to tell them how everything began. Me knowing Blake for years, moving away because they discovered my illness, staying in hospital for weeks, my life in Washington D.C and finally moving here and meeting them all.

They were speechless which I understood. Telling someone that you will die soon isn't something you hear everyday.

"I beg you guys, don't tell anyone about this. Not even Blake. I want to tell him about it when the right time comes." I pleaded.

Both girls exchanged glances before nodding.
They stayed a bit longer and we talked about random things. They tried to change the subject from sad to happy and lively.

They told me that the whole school thinks that I had a high fever and fainted during lunch. They also told me that Victoria got suspended for only a week for attacking me to the point that I even fainted. Even thought I also slapped her, I only got 3 days of detention.

It seems like Chase was the one who carried me to the nurse and then came with me to the hospital.

After a while they left and Dr. Reyenes came to check on me.
I was already tired even though it's only lunch time.

I told everyone that I wanted to sleep and they let me alone in my hospital room.

Even though I was tired, I couldn't fall asleep. My mind was busy thinking of a plan to tell Blake about this. I don't want to keep this from him forever and I don't think that I will hide it any longer anyways.

Blake might be only 3 floors under mine. If he sees me here like this than I'm only going to die.

I was in the floor 7. This floor is for those who really has a serious sickness that can be healed but it's not sure yet. Blake's father was put on the 4th floor because that was for those who are in a bad condition. The second floor is for baby's while the third floor was for children from the age of about 5-15 year old.
As you can see, every floor has its own concept. The first floor is only the cafeteria.

I was thinking of how I should tell him about it. I can't just go to him and burst out that I'm going to die in like 5 months.

Yeah you heard right. I still got 5 months. When Dr. Reyenes and my parents left the room, we heard them talking about it through the door. That's why the others stayed for a while longer even though they had afternoon classes.

Did I live my life good? I honestly don't know since I never really travelled.

I sighed.

I really think it's time for me to tell him.

Blake's POV

I took my helmet off and went off my motorcycle and made my way into the building.
Everyone were starring at me but I don't really care.

"I heard he was suspended because he punched a teacher..."

"Did he really got into a fight again?"

"Wow look at that delicious boy over there. Should I try my luck?"

The last comment came from a girl I didn't know. Seems like we got a new barbie slut in school.

It's been 5 days since I last came to school. I didn't wanted to come but my mom forced me by telling me that my father would be disappointed if I miss so much.
I saw Chase and the others leaning against a locker while talking about something.

"Ey man, it's been a long time since you last came." Bryan said.

"Seems like it. Did I miss something?" I asked.

They exchanged looks before Chase spoke up.

"Victoria got suspended because she got into an fight with Elizabeth a few days ago." he informed.

I was shocked but then angry.

"What the fuck?! What happened? Did that slut hurt her!?" I asked furious.

"No, but she was having a fever that time and she collapsed." David spoke up this time.

I stopped breathing. I had mixed feelings of anger, curious and worry.

"Thanks guys. I'm gonna catch up to you later." I said and left them.

I went to the backyard and took out my phone trying to call Elizabeth.

I heard the bell ringing signaling me that class has started but I didn't care. Right now Elizabeth was my priority.

I waited for her to take the call but she didn't answered. I tried and tried for the next 10 minutes until I totally gave up. I sat down on a bench and run my hands on my face while sighing. I took out a cigarette from my poket and lit it up. I haven't smoked much since Lizy and I got together but I need it right now.

That was one of the moments were I didn't know what to do anymore. I can't afford losing Elizabeth and my father. I know I'm overreacting at Lizy but still, I care for her because she is my world. I want her. No. I need her.
If I ever gonna lose her too than there is no point for me to live any longer than this.

I just love her so damn much.

Elizabeth's POV

I woke up at 6 p.m. with the same pain in the throat as before.
I reached for the glass with water and drank some before I sat up leaning against my bed.

I was breathing heavily and started to sweat really hard. I wanted to change from my hospital gown to something else but when I was about to call the nurse I felt a wave of pain in my chest and I was already panting. I put my hands on my chest squeezing and trying to calm myself down which didn't help at all when I felt the pain again.

I started to cough heavily again as I slowly reached for the red button. When I pressed it I only heard a vibrating sound but soon I heard footsteps and the door bust open.

I leaned forward as I kept coughing and coughing.

"Hurry and lay her down! Put her the oxygen mask and hold her down! She is not allowed to squeeze her chest!" I heard Dr. Reyenes telling the nurses.

Their voices started to sound far away from me and soon my view turned into completely blurry before I blacked out.
