Wildflowers Don't Exist [Completed]

Farewell to Spring

Adonis Pov

I wake up and stretch. I look over and see Ares and Zeus asleep. Ares came back last night and apologized for how he acted. I smile at Zeus stretching across Ares' chest. Ares looks so good wearing Nike sweatpants and a faded blue tank top. He looks so content. I watch as Zeus rises and falls on his chest with each breath. I notice how one of Ares' arms is behind his head and the other where I was.

"How long you plan on staring at me sleeping?" Ares says with his eyes closed.

I get flustered.

He laughs. I get up and kiss his forehead. I walk to the shower. As I take my clothes off, I notice my belly and tiger stripes. I notice a little bit of cellulite here and there along with my big measurements. I hug myself, ashamed of my weight once again and cry a little.

Adonis deserves better than I can give him. He's in the military, he needs a girl his size and with less going on.

Snap out of it. You need to stop being insecure and love yourself.

Shut the hell up. Everyone always says that but no one tells you how to do it. Cut that Zen bullshit. You sit back.

Ares loves you ...

Morgan does too ...

I shake myself and snap out of it.

I decide to go visit Morgan.

--

"Hi, excuse me, but where's Morgan?" I ask the receptionist.

She looks at me as his nurse comes up to me.

"I'm sorry, but due to complications and the cancer being more aggressive than we thought, Morgan doesn't have much time to live. He's right this way."

I walk into his room and see him laying weakly in his bed.

"Morgan!"

"Hey.."

"I...I..."

"I don't have much time to live. I know that now, I can feel it."

"What..."

"I love you as a friend, maybe more than that. I love you like Pac loved Jada, you're my Jada, the tears in Cupid's eyes. I'll never forget you. I want you to be happy, especially with Ares. Take care of him like you did for me ... I just wish things didn't end this way."

He holds my hand with the tightest grip he can and lets go. "It's time."

After crying for months, Ares has been super supportive. I decide to transfer to another school so I can pursue a business career. I pick a school in SC, College of Charleston.

Ares is closer to a base and is leaving soon. I hope I can handle Zeus on my own.
