Ava's POV
"Wh...what?" I stuttered, "I'm sorry, I really am." Ethan was staring at the wall speechless. "Ethan..." I trailed off, "you're going to die." I grabbed him hand and he quickly moved his hand. "How long?" He asked, "it is stage 3 so she can use things like chemo and a transplant but it cost a lot of money. Without those treatments she's looking at 2 months, at the most." He said with a saddened face and Ethan looked at me, then the doctor. "I can buy the chemo, I can get someone for a transplant. I'll do anything." He pleaded and tears started to fall from mine and Ethan's eyes.
"Sir, I don't think you have enough money for it. Chemo starts at 3 grand" he said and I shook my head.
"We should go" I said and exited the room and I ended up in the lobby and Ethan wasn't behind me.
Ethan's POV
I felt a hand on my shoulder as I was walking out of the room. "I need to tell you something, son" he said and I shut the door and reentered the room. I sat in the chair I was sitting in before and the doctor sat infront if me. The nervousness kicked in and my hands started to shake.
"Y-yes?" I stuttered, "her liver is really bad and you are only a teenager and I know you won't have the money for it. I'm sorry, I really am."
"What are you saying?" I asked nervously
"She's not going to make it, so spend everyday with her. Do things she always wanted to do, love her the most you ever can. I didn't tell you earlier because she looked really hurt."
"Thank... you" I said and walked out of the room. I walked into the lobby and saw Ava sitting there worried. She saw me and walked up to me, "where were you?" She asked. "The bathroom" I said and hopped into my car.
We drove in silence. We were letting it sink in. We won't last forever, I can't imagine myself with anyone else. 2 months, only two. I will make those months the most amazing. I'll die before she dies sad. A tear rolled down my cheek and she grabbed my hand. She knew when I was sad or when I was mad or any emotion. She was my soulmate, my only soulmate.
We arrived at her house and I pulled infront of it. "You're not coming in?" She asked, "I got to do homework, sorry baby." I kissed her and she walked into her house. I drove home and headed inside. I ran up to my room and got my MacBook from the desk. I sat on my bed, I typed "flights to New York." I bought two and laid in my bed crying until there were none left.
I woke up and changed into a white shirt and black shorts. I texted Ava's dad.
Ethan: can you pack clothes for Ava, I'm bringing her to New York, if that's cool with you?
AD: yeah, need anything specific?
Ethan: a casual, dressy
AD: okay, want to come over to get it?
Ethan: sure, I'll be over in 5 make sure she won't see me
AD: okay, thank you for doing this for her
Ethan: anything for her
I locked my phone and drove to Ava's house. I saw the black suitcase on the porch and I pick it up and put it in the back seat. I drove back home and packed my stuff. My flight was at 5:30 tonight and it was only 12. I texted Ava
Ethan: I want to take you somewhere special, wear something comfy. See you at 4:30 babe
Ava: okay, I just want you to know. You don't need to stay with me because I'm sick. I don't want to hold you back, everything is going to change.
Ethan: what?! I'm never leaving you, you have to promise me, you won't stop this until we have to.
Ava: I promise
Ethan: see you then ;)
