Anthony's POV

I've really tried my best but I don't think it will happen soon. I am just afraid I might lose her."
"You seem to care so much about her. Why?"
"It's 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 father passed on and it affected her because she was so close to him."
"Oh that's so sad 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,
"You can't have control over destiny. It's time to let go of 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 enter the kitchen. The house chef is not around today and Connor and I promised to cook dinner.
Mum and dad aren't home yet. Sometimes I miss Ariel so much. She used to love cooking for us until she started suffering from Aplastic anaemia a 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 girlfriend Kara) and Ariel. Anyway 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, thirty four 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 forty eight and practising medical law for like ten 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 and messy 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 confessing my feelings for her.
It's no lie that I have fallen in love with her. I love Y'vania so much and I am afraid of losing her and waiting for her to make a decision about her life isn't healthy either. I don't think I 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.
It's now seven months since I got to know her.

Flashback 23rd June 2017

It's my first week as an attending physician 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 there for me. 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 friends I have. The city looks busy 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 her phone and looking around I see no one else and she isn't on phone her hands are crossed over her chest. I realize she's talking to me.
"How did you know I was here? I tried my best ninja skills."
