Third Person POV

It has been two months since Danielle last heard Alex's voice. She wonder if he's okay. Danielle remember when Alex told her that whenever he's nervous, he will eat his sweets.

Danielle guessing this small, cylinder container is Alex's sweets, that Alex was talking about. Danielle squeezed it hard.

Alex must really need this, Danielle wondered. I mean he can jusy buy another one outside. But doesn't he miss me?

"Huh. Why would he miss you?", Daniell said it to herself. She looks down and smiling. Danille tend to smile without realizing after thinking about Alex. The way Alex called my name, she just can't handle it. If it's not because of Sam that poked Danielle on her waist, she must already dying of happiness.

"What are you doing, huh?", Sam giggled.

Danielle laugh and hit Sam's knee. "Did you heard me?", Danielle couldn't stop laughing. Showing a beautiful, small, deep pimple on her right cheek.

"Obviously!", Sam laughed. "Even Alex can heard you!"

Danielle's eyes widen. "A- A- Alex?", Danielle stuttered. "What do you mean Alex can heard me?"

Sam look at Danielle in pity. Sam feels bad because she knows what happened to Alex for the past three months. Sam knows everything. So every time Danielle asked Sam will Alex come to her house today, Sam couldn't answer because Sam knows it's impossible.

Alex is in critical conditions. His doctor said that Aled doesn't has a lot of time left. This makes Alex become more depress than ever. Alex knows this will come soon. Alex also already prepare for his death.

Everyday Alex prayed to God for him to die as soon as possible because he can't stop his mom silent tears from rolling down every single night. Alex is sick but seeing his mom crying because of him making him feel even more dying.

After Alex met Danielle for the first time, Alex suddenly wants to live. He wants to live forever. Things become worst after Alex's condition getting worst day by day. He always sleep on his hospital bed. But when Alex woke up, he cries. That's how his day were after meeting Danielle.

Alex wishes to make Danielle happy. Alex knows Danielle is not perfect. But that's the power of love. Everything about Danielle is perfect for Alex. Alex feels like Danielle is flawless.

Sam got a text message from Alex. She took out her phone out of her pocket, unlocking it and read silently. 'Sam, I'm on my way. Open the gate and the door for me.'

Sam was shocked. Sam take a look at Danielle. Danielle is smiling, rubbing Alex's medicine bottle with her thumb. All of sudden, silent tears rolling down from Sam's cheeks. It is because Sam knows, it might the last time Alex can meet Danielle.

"Wait here..", Sam pats Danielle's shoulder and stand up from the couch. "I'm going outside." Danielle nods at her. Sam smiles, wiping her tears and head outside.

Sam quickly runs outside in the cold weather. It was freezing. Sam bump into Mr. Clifford, the butler. "What are you doing outside?", Mr. Clifford asked.

"Look, I have no time for this but please open the gate for the sake of their love. Please...", Sam begged.

Mr. Clifford opens the gate quickly without saying anything. Mr. Clifford actually never let anyone else enters this house without Mr. Francisco's permission.

After a few later, Mr. Clifford and Sam saw a familiar black car parking in front of their house. Alex, push the car door open, swing his legs outside. Alex looks weak, lifeless. Anyone can see how pale Alex is. His lips is almost white and dry. Alex's eyebag looks worst that ever with his bloodshot eyes.
