Anthony's POV
I've really tried my best but I don't think it will happen soon. Am just afraid I might lose her."
"You seem to care so much about her. Why?"
"Its nothing Connor I don't know why I think it's because she's that kind of friend I've never had,I think she's been through a lot of things. I don't know much about her past except for the fact that her daddy passed on and it affected her because she was close to him."
"Oh that's so bad and why is she refusing to get treated?"
"I fail to understand her sometimes. Looks like she's living a life full of many weird happenings. I don't know why she keeps on reminding me of Ariel. If at all we found out earlier she wouldn't have gone."
Connor comes closer and puts a hand on my shoulder saying
"Lil brother you can't have control over destiny. Its time to let go off the past. Aren't you the one who says life belongs to the living why are you worried or is my lil brother in love?" He asks teasingly and I shake my head laughing as we entered the kitchen.
Mum and dad aren't home yet so that means we have to cook. Sometimes I miss Ariel so much. She used to do the cooking for us until she started suffering from Aplastic anaemia one year ago. We tried to save her life but it was too late and she had given up and stopped fighting for her life. A whole family of doctors couldn't save her. I sometimes blame myself for having less time for my twin sister. We were very close before I started internship at the clinic when I got so held up to the point of not having time for my four closest friends (one of them being my on and off clingy psychopath girlfriend Kara) and Ariel. Anyways life has to move on and blames won't help. We're still bearing the loss of a family member. I don't think we'll completely get over it soon. One gone five remaining that's dad,mum,Connor,me and baby Sam actually not a baby anymore but everyone prefers the baby tittle. She's a happy eight year old who fills the house with fun and joy. Connor is the eldest twenty six years of age and five years of medical practice. Dad is sixty one years of age with twenty nine years of medical practise and mum is fifty eight and practising medical law for like thirty two years now. I can call it a family of doctors except for Sam who is interested in showbiz. She might change her mind when she grows up but I don't see a doctor or a lawyer in her. We're still in the kitchen when Sam comes in from her ballet classes noisy as usual. She lifts my moods up after such a long and hard day at work after trying to convince Y'vania about the treatment and ending up in a fight and me pouring out my feelings for her.
No offence I love Y'vania so much and am afraid of losing her and waiting for her to make a decision about her life isn't healthy either. I don't think am going to survive the blow if she doesn't beat this illness. She owns this large part of me that I don't think will stand up straight when she's gone.
Its now seven months since I got to know her.
Flashback 23rd June 2017
Its my first week as a qualified doctor at Miller Rosa hospital. I decide to take a stroll after taking lunch with K.L,Nick and the O'Connell twins;Lance and Logan as usual these are the friends that always make my days. They can be annoying sometimes especially Kara Luna also known as K.L but they're always funny. Soon everyone leaves for their different places of work I find myself at the top floor of the building still thinking about Logan's cheesiness, Nick's dirty jokes and K.L's gossip and smiling slightly at the type of crazy friends I have. The city looks cool from the top. I see a girl of about eighteen or maybe nineteen years standing alone at the corner. She doesn't notice my presence I guess her mind is miles away. I stand a few feet from her trying to look at what she's staring at. She speaks up,
"You know what the toughest thing in life is?"
At first I think she's talking to someone else maybe on phone but looking around I see no one else and she isn't on phone her hands are crossed over her chest. I realise its me she's talking to.
"Wait how did you know I was here I tried my best ninja skills." She chuckles and says
"You may have the characters of a real ninja but I notice and feel the presence of anyone ten feet away from me."
"Well I think the toughest thing is coping up with life itself because yeah you can have everything but life will deny you one special thing that you think you can't survive with just trying to see how you will cope up with it."
