Our Cliche' Love Story

Chapter twelve: Returns

Kathleen POV
3 a.m. in the morning, I wake up and rush into the bathroom where I spat many, many blood out. I covered up my mouth in shock. I've spat blood plenty of times, but never this much. My head was spinning at the top and the world just faded away for awhile. I open my eyes to see a figure standing in the door way, then my eyes close shut.
I slowly open my eyes to reveal that I'm in the hospital, in a room. Which was filled with silence. The door opens and I see mom, grandpa, and Lucia.

"Hi Len" greeted Lucia as she forced a smile a on her face.

"Glad your alright" said grandpa as he places both of his hands in his pocket.

I turn to look at mom who's eyes were still filled with tears.

"I'm dying?" I asked them.

Lucia nods slowly holding back her tears and so does grandpa.

"I see... It's alright" I say to them "Let's go home".

"No. You'll stay here in the hospital, and will do the chemotherapy to stop your lukemia" said mom.

"Stage four Len, you have to stay" said Lucia placing her hand on top my hand.

"Please" begged grandpa.

"Thank you that you all care for me... But if I'm going to die, can I atleast have one last dance?" I asked mom.

"When is this dance going to happen Lucia?" Asked mom.

"6 days from now, ma'm" she answered.

"Alright" said mom as she combs her short hair with her finger tips "Here's the plan. We will discharge you from the hospital to learn your dance, but after your done. You will be on house lock, and you will only go outside again when the dance thing happens" explained mom.

"I understand" I told her weakly.

"Alright, I and grandpa will go downstairs and talk with Doctor Lada about this" mom said as she and grandpa left the room, I look at Lucia who is still holding up her tears and holding my hand.

"You can cry you know, you don't have to hold the pain" I told her, which felt more of like a whispher or a mumble.
Lucia begins to shed the tears from her eyes, and her face begins to turn red.

"Shhhhh, stop those tears soldier" I ordered her "I'm going to be fine, I promise".

Lucia continues to cry and cry until mom and grandpa came back with a nurse. Grandpa places his hand on Lucia shoulder to comfort her, while my mom feels pitty for her.
We arrive back in the house and start to go back to our daily schedule as if nothing had happened, since I wished them to that.

So a normal Wednesday it is.

I change into my light blue ocean dress that was covered in a design of stargazers, my favourite flower, and if death is destined for me. Than I wish to be placed in a baby blue casket surrounded by blue roses and star gazers.
I head downstairs to grab 2 slices of peanut butter sandwhiches and head to Ethans house.

"Let me open the door for you" said Lucia as she rushes for the door.

"Thank you. I have lukemia Lucia, but I'm sure I can handle to twist a knob" I told her.

We walk across the street and knock on Ethan door. Behind the door to reveal was Princess.

"Hi" I told her.

"Come in" said princess.

I and Lucia enter the room, and I can feel a heavy weight in the air.

"What's going on?" I asked them.
