Harry’s  P.O.V.

“Get me a fucking doctor here!” I scream. I have Delilah in my arms and the only thing I keep thinking about is that she’s too pale. I feel tears forming but I try to put my face hard. I can’t lose my Delilah. For the very first time I pray to God for her to live. I have never prayed before even when my dad left my mom and she beat the hell out of me with the chain. Not even when my mother left Gemma and me alone. As soon as I yelled I saw Delilah’s doctor come running out of the room.

“Did she take her pills?!” he yells at me.

“I don’t know ….I..” and with that the doctor shuts me up and rushes her to the emergency room. I sit in the waiting room with my head in my hands. I wait at least for an hour until I see the doctor coming out of the emergency room.

“How is she?” my voice trembling. He looks way older right now than when he went in. He looks up and I have a sick feeling in the pit of my stomach.

“Her health has gotten worse and she has developed depression. She has to stay at least for 3 days before going home. You can see her now if you want.” He tells me. I nod and go to the room where she’s at. I walk in and I see her. Her brown hair lay out on the pillow and her face paled. I go up to her and kiss her forehead.

“I love you Delilah. And I’m sorry you’re fighting this battle by yourself but I’m here by your side.” I mumble to her ear. I sit by her and massage her hands slowly. I fall asleep by her arms too afraid to leave her alone.

Delilah P.O.V.

I’m in a world where it snows and rains too much. Where I see childhood memories walking by as if its movie clips. Suddenly I turn cold and my blood starts to run really low. My breath starts to slow down. I feel weak and I start to fall down towards the floor. I glance up and I see my grandma there. I feel tears rolling down my face.

“Dear wake up. You’re letting fate beat you. It’s paying its price.” She says calmly. My breath starts to stop a little and I’m running out of oxygen.

“What price?!” I scream pleading for help. Her smile forms.

“Just wait for it dear. It’s coming soon.” And with that I feel my life fading away.

“Clear in 3,2,1!” I hear someone yell and an electric current running through my heart. I open my eyes and I’m surrounded by light. My eyes focus to a doctor in front of me. His mouth is moving but I hear nothing but a buzz in my ears.

“Delilah can you hear me?” I finally hear him say.

“Yes.” But my eyes shut again.

I wake up in the hospital bed with Harry staring at me.

“Something wrong?” I say jokingly but weak at the same time. I smile and try to sit but the pain brings me down. I feel warm arms around me hugging me really tight.

“Hey Harry I’m fine.” I say patting his back. He lets go and stares at me. I haven’t noticed his eyes are red and watery.

“Your…Your..heart stopped working. I thought I lost you forever. Do you know how painful that was.” He says. I sigh.

“I’m fine okay. I’m going to fight this stupid disease for the people I love.” I say. He forms a small smile and lifts my hand kissing my palm.

We stay talking for a while until the doctor walked in.

“I’m sorry but I need to talk to Delilah alone.” He says. Harry nods and kisses my forehead before leaving.

“Is everything okay?” I ask. His face ashens.

“Your disease is greater than I thought it would be and you’re fighting so well but the heart failure that happened a couple hours ago is a sign. You’re heart can’t work so well but it’s your choice to keep living life like nothing or be strapped with wires.”

“No wires. But keep this from everybody…” he opens he mouth but I lift my hand up.

“Make them believe I’m okay. That’s my last life wish please?” I say. He nods.

“You’re stronger than any of my patients that I have ever had. I really hoped that you would live a longer life but it’s not my choice.” He says. I smile.

“I hope so too. Can you do me another favor please?” he nods.

“I need a phone and keep Harry out for a few minutes.” I say.

“Sure.” He reaches out towards his cell phone and hands it to me. He then heads out the room. I dial the number that I will cherish with my life and I feel like crying.

“Hello.”

“Josh it’s Delilah.” And my voice cracks.

“What happened?” he sounds concern. I explain everything and I hear nothing.

“Hello? Hello Josh!”

“You’re dying? No you can’t leave me. It’s a dream huh I …”

“Josh! Listen I’m going to live as long as I can. I’m okay I just needed to tell someone. You’re the only one who will know okay?” I say.

“I will keep it. But Delilah I love you so much please stay alive for me.” His voice teary. I sigh.

“I will stay alive don’t worry. Bye Josh I love you.” I say before ending the call. I will keep this secret as long as I can. After a short while I see Harry walk in with a smile.

What am I going to tell him when I’m weak and dying? It’s true I’m paying the price…. A really expensive price if I can say…
