Aaron is a famous singer. Aphmau is his girlfriend. Aphmau is a youtuber with 5 million subscribers.

*Aphmau's p.o.v.*

I'm not sure how to feel. Sad , mad , disappointed ?
I had a fight with Aaron. His friends spiked my drink and he allowed it , he accused me of flirting and seducing his bandmate , getting mad at me when he found my meds that helped me lived , and to top it all off , I caught him kissing someone else. And the whole media knows about it.

I was speechless. Right now , I'm in our hotel room , in my shorts and tee shirt trying to decided what should I do.

I burst into tears. I love Aaron but he doesn't want a dying girl whose figthing for her life.

I was never going to be enough for him ? Am I ?

After crying for a good ten minutes , I stood up. No. No. No. No more tears. I hate the tears.

I need to film a video that's long overdue.

*About two hours later*

*Aaron's p.o.v.*

'This sucks !' I threw a drumstick across the room. We were all in my room.

'Girls right ?' Laurence said.

'Come on. You can't handle a little alcohol but you're getting high on fucking meds !'

There was a notification on my phone. Aphmau posted another video. It was titled 'The Truth' , the image was her in the hospital. She was getting blood. Like how we met.

I ignored it. Travis and Dante got up and left the room.

'Why can't I keep a fucking relationship ?' I asked.

'No one understands what we've been through ,' Garroth said sipping a beer.

*Dante's p.o.v.*

'Travis. Let's watch the video ,' I said.

'What if Aaron finds out ?' He asked.

'He won't ,' I said. We clicked on her video and watched it.

I was shocked. So was Travis. 'We have to tell Aaron ,' Travis said. I nodded.

We went into his room. 'Aaron. Watch Aphmau's video ,' I said.

'Why should I ?' He asked.

'Just do it !' I yelled. He rolled his eyes.

'Fine ,' he said.

*Aaron's p.o.v.*

I clicked on the video. She was sitting on the floor against the feet of her bed. Her eyes were red and swollen.

'If you can tell. I'm crying ,' she said. 'It's finally time you all should know the truth. I might not have a lot of time left .'

'What ?' I asked.

'So when I was about 5 , I felt a sharp pain in my body. My mom brought me for a checkup. '

'I had a tumor in my kidney which was causing a sort of growth there. If it keeps growing , I would have kidney failure. '

'My father died of kidney failure . I learnt that later on when I was growing up .'

'The doctor told me that I could get surgery when I was 18. I couldn't do it when I was 14-17 as I have a very rare blood type and when I was younger , it was much riskier.'

I was shocked.

'I went for check ups , therapy. Nothing worked . '

'My mom killed herself by overdosing on pills and alcohol. I was left alone at the age of 15. '

'I was taken care by my best friends's parents. I loved them but I was alone. '

'I cut myself as I couldn't cope with who I was. 'Pictures of cuts on her body were shown. She had faded out scars on her arms , legs , a few on her stomach.

'One day I fainted. I was rushed to the hospital and someone had my blood type and donated some blood to me. His name was Aaron Mendes. '

'I lied to him saying I didn't have enough blood because of an injury. '

'So the doctor gave me these meds. Fluxifer. These meds basically controlled the tumour so it couldn't keep growing. '

'These were the meds that the media was saying 'I was getting high on '' she used air quotes. Now I felt bad.

'I would never do drugs. Since I met Aaron , I learned to cherish my life. If I didn't meet him , I wouldn't be here ,' I was tearing up.

'He was the person who taught me how to live life to the fullest , how to love. '

'Sometimes when I'm with him , I can forget how lonely I felt. '

'I would never cheat on him. I would never do anything to hurt him. '

She was tearing up now. 'It doesn't make sense for me to hurt someone who loves me for me .'

'The point of me making this video is for me to defend myself against the rumours that the media is spreading about me. I love all my fans who stand with me . You guys are the best. I know for a fact once this video gets out , my words will get twisted but I just wanted to everyone to know my side of the story. '

'And I don't want my people to go hate on Aaron. It's bad enough his fans are hating on me but I don't need you guys to spread that negativity to him. '

'I'm not saying all these because he's more famous than me or what not. I'm saying all these because I don't want him to go through what I've been through. I don't have to cope with this much longer as my time is short but he still has a life to live. '

'This might or might not be my last video for a while. Who knows ? If this is my last video , I want everybody to stay strong. For me ,' the video ended. I was crying.

'Why am I an idiot !' I slammed my fist against the walls. It started bleeding.

'You felt hurt ,' Dante said.

'Garroth. Did she really come on to you ?' I asked.
He hesitated. 'No. 'He said.

'What ?'

'I slapped her butt and tried to kiss her. I was afraid she might tell you and you'll make me leave ,' he said. I punched him.

'Dude !' Travis held me back. Garroth's nose was bleeding.

'Get the fuck out !' I yelled. He left.

'How am I going to apologize to her ?' I kicked the chair.

'I have an idea ,' Travis said.

*Aphmau's p.o.v.*

I disabled the comments for the video. I didn't feel like dealing with them.

Aaron called me but I can't face him. It's difficult.

I got in bed and cried myself to sleep.
