I find corinna covered in spew and she's screaming.

"What happened? Where's David?" I ask her.

"HE THREW UP ALL OVER ME," she says beginning to cry. I lead her inside and we hurry to the bathroom. She takes a shower and I go to find David.

I find him on the ground, dead to the world.

I groan and get out my phone. I dial 911.

"911, what's your emergency?" Asks a lady.

"Yea, my boyfriend has been really sick these past couple of days and I've found he's passed out on the ground."
I say.

"We will send an ambulance and doctor over right away," says the lady. I tell her the address and hang up.

Corinna comes back downstairs in one of Davids shirts. Her clothes are in a plastic bag.

"I'm so mad these clothes cost so much," says corinna angrily.

"The ambulance are coming," I say.

Her expression softens.

"I hope he gets better," she says. I nod.

I hear him groan.

"David?" I ask. Corinna and I lift him up onto the couch. I hear sirens come down the street and I go outside and lead them inside.

They do some examinations that take a while.

"Which one of you is Davids girlfriend?" Asks the doctor looking at corinna. Of course cause she's the prettiest one...

"I am," I say.

He nods. "Do you know where his parents are? Or do you have any way of contacting them?" He asks.

I nod and give him the numbers.

"Could you please leave for a second?" The doctor asks corinna. She gets up and leaves.

"David, has signs of having cancer. A rare form which harms the whole entire body. In fact it's so rare, there hasn't been a name for it yet," says the doctor.

I'm so shocked, I don't say a word. I stare at my feet. So many thoughts ran around my mind but I couldn't focus on any of them.

"People... can survive from it though. Right?" I ask quietly

"Only 2 other people have had this. They haven't survived. We're not entirely sure he has it yet though. We will have to take him to hospital for more examinations," he says.

I nod.

"I'm afraid you can't come with us, so say goodbye." He says. They lift David up into a wheeled bed. I kiss his forehead and tell him I love him softly, hoping somehow he can hear my words.

Then they take him away and I'm left in the room alone.
