Adam's POV:

"Tommy!" I yelled when I rushed over to him and caught him in my arms. His hair fell to his face, so I pushed it off. Gently I tapped his cheek to wake him up, but he wouldn't answer. "Fuck." 

"Adam?" Said a few voices. I looked up and found Billie, Charlie and Sutan coming over to us. 

"What happened to him?" Asked Charlie. 

"I-I don't know!" I said, panicking. "H-He fainted and...a-and I don't know what could have caused it!"

"Hey, calm down." Said Billie. 

"I'll run inside and tell the teachers that Tommy needs an early dismissal." Said Carlie and raced inside the building. I looked down at my Glitterbaby. 

"Honey wake up, please." I whispered. "I love you too much to lose you." 

"What if it has to do with his cancer?" Asked Sutan. "I mean you did told us what Kellie said about Tommy's days being counted."

"Oh, right." I said in a low voice. I stroked my baby's cheek as a few tears escaped my eyes. "Baby please wake up." 

"Okay." Said Charlie as he ran over to us. "Teacher didn't care." I gave him a glare. 

"What the fuck do you mean he didn't give a fuck about it?!" I yelled. "TOMMY MIGHT BE DYING RIGHT NOW IN MY FUCKING ARMS!"

"Good thing he doesn't give a fuck." Said Billie. "Because my car is parked right there and we can take Tommy to the hospital." I sighed. 

"Sorry for yelling." I said. 

"Its okay." Said Charlie. "That isn't important. Right now, Tommy's health is important. Let's go to the hospital." I nodded and stood up with Tommy in my arms. Sutan grabbed my bookbag and Tommy's backpack and put them in the back trunk along with his own bookbag, Charlie's and Billie's. Tan got inside the car with Tommy and me in the backseats and Billie started driving.

Hospital. . .

Tommy's POV:

Slowly I fluttered my eyes opened, but shut them closed. A bright light had hit them. I opened my eyes again and looked around. What was I doing in the hospital? My head hurt. I was scared. Where was Adam? Where was my Mom? Where were my friends? The door opened and I saw a man with a clipboard. 

"Good afternoon Mr Ratliff." He said. 

"Um, g-good afternoon." I said. My throat was dry. The doctor handed me a cup of water and I drank it all. "Thank you." 

"You're welcome." He said. "You had your friends and your...boyfriend...worried." I nodded. I kinda felt a little bit angry when he hesitated to say 'boyfriend'. I bet he was homophobic. "I will notified your friends and family that you're awake."

"Pl-Please." I said. "I-I want to see Adam first."

"Who?" He asked. 

"A-Adam." I said. "M-My boyfriend."

"Okay, I'll tell him." He said and left the room. I closed my eyes for a minute, but the door opened. I opened my eyes and smiled when I saw who entered. 

"Hi Babyboy." I said in a low voice. 

"Hey Glitterbaby." He said as he pulled a chair for himself next to my right side. "How are you feeling?"

"My throat hurts a little." I said. "Adam..."

"Yeah?" He said. I shook my head. 

"Nothing." I said. "I'm just...enjoying the feeling of saying your name." Adam smiled as his hands took my hand in his. His left hand stroked my hair and I faced him. "Adam?"

"What is it?" He asked. 

"What happened?" I asked. "Why am I here?" I noticed my Babyboy had no makeup, but there were tear tracks down his cheeks. "Babyboy, were you crying?" Adam looked, then up at the ceiling and then me.

"Yeah I was." He said. "I...I thought I lost you. The doctors told us it had to do with the cancer. The cancer...is trying to shut down your body."

"Oh my gosh." I breathed.

"The doctor met up with Kellie." Said Adam. "They discovered that you only have..." he trailed off as tears escaped his eyes. "You only have two weeks before...b-before you...you die." Adam sniffed and a few tears slipped down my face.

"This can't be happening." I whispered as I started crying. "I-I can't die so soon!"

"Mr Lambert?" Said the voice of a doctor. "You need to leave. Visiting hours are over."

"Wh-What hour is it?" I asked.

"12:00 am." He said. Adam sighed and nodded.

"Don't leave me Babyboy." I whispered.

"I'll come visit you every morning." Said Adam as he stood up and kissed my forehead. "I love you Glitterbaby."

"I love you too." I whispered and Adam left my room. The doctor left with Adam and turned off the light, followed by the sound of the door closing. I closed my eyes as I drifted to sleep, Adam's smile, smirk, laugh and face making me dream of him...making me dream of me as the lucky one to be his one and only boyfriend.
