Evangeline's POV

*Cough cough*

Blood was seen on my hand as I coughed

"I really though I was cured of it."

I went to see a doctor immediately

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

At the hospital

"Well miss Gates I have bad news the illness has returned and it's more serious than before." The doctor explained.

"It's developing faster than it should, if this keeps up then_"

"How much time?" I interrupted.

"Maybe 6months if we continue treatment maybe longer, a year perhaps?" He explained.

"I see so it's that bad." I said quietly.

"I know its so sudden but it's best if you don't think about it and live your days to the fullest" he said

"Your so young after all such a shame for this to happen to a beautiful young woman" he said

"My parents died of this illness and so will I it's all ends with me" I said

"Here these should help stop the blood from coughing up,it should help slow down the cells from multiplying" he said giving me some a pill bottle

"Thank you" I said quietly

"Come back next week to receive treatment" he said

I waved goodbye and went to my job at the office in town

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

At the office

"Hello Evangeline are you alright you look upset" James said

"I'm fine just stressed" I mumbled

"Well anyway do you want to get a coffee since you refused me yesterday" he said nervously

"Fine I could use a coffee" I said

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

At the café

"Here you go two coffees" the waitress said

"So how's your sister?" I asked

"She's doing much more better now" James said

"That's good to hear" I said

"Anyway you know our boss works you really hard but that's his own nature he doesn't do it because he doesn't like you" James said

"I know but still" I said

I looked outside the café window and saw

"William!!" I blurred out

"Who's William?" James asked looking around

"I'm sorry I'll see you later thanks for the coffee bye!" I said in a rush

"Hey Evangeline!"

I left the shop going to an alley where William was

"William what are you doing here?!" I asked

"Shhh" he shushed

"I'm hiding from my partner" he said

"Your partner?"

"Yes, he's annoying so I'm hiding here until he searches elsewhere" he said annoyed and irritated

"Oh William where are you~" a voice asked
