Chapter 6!
*Kelsey's POV*
"Hey." I say, walking into Landon's room. "How ya feeling?"
"Okay." He smiles. "Better now that you're here."
I feel my cheeks turn pink.
"The doctors said they wanted to talk to me. I think that it's going to be good news! Well, I'm hoping..." I half-smile at the ground. It's not hard to tell I'm a little too optimistic right now.
"Kelsey, that's why I asked the nurses if you could stay after visiting hours. They already told me. It's not good news." My face drops. "Kelsey, I only have six weeks, at the most, left." My chin quivers. I feel the tears coming on. I need to stay strong!
"Don't say that!" I say, taking a seat at the foot of the bed. "Doctors don't know anything! They don't know how much of a fighter you are! They don't know how much you haven't done yet." I practically scream at him.
"Hey! Princess!" I hear from the other side of the room. It's a double room with a curtain seperating the patients. "Keep it down! I heard the doctor myself. He's on his death bed sweet cheeks!" I want to run over there and scream at the patient, but I stop myself and look at Landon. His eyes fill with tears. Slowly, I see one tear, and then another, and another fall down his face. He never cries. That's when I lose all hope of staying strong. I absolutely lose it!
"Kelsey! I'm so sorry. This is not at all how I planned to tell you." Landon says.
"Then how did you plan on telling me?! Huh? How long have you known?" I yell.
"About an hour after I got here...." He whispers.
"Did you plan on just not telling me? Landon! How could you not tell your own fiance that you're dying?" I ask.
"It's not like I wasn't going to! I didn't exactly know how to bring that into conversation. I finally figured out a way when BIG MOUTH OVER THERE had to go and ruin it!" He looks so sorry right now. But I need some time to cool down before I can talk anymore.
"Landon, I'll see you in the morning." I say, walking out the door.
*Alexis' POV*
I can't think straight right now! My soon-to-be brother in law is in the hospital with cancer and no one is updating me! I turn on the television and start flipping through the channels.
The first channel I flip to is a special on different types of cancer. I flip the channel. The second is a true story about someone who died of cancer. I flip the channel. Maybe I should watch a movie instead. I turn to HBO and the featured movie is My Sister's Keeper.
I turn off the tv and burst into tears. He died! I just know it!
I cry into the throw pillow for what seems like forever when I hear a car pull up to her apartment. Kelsey's home!
I run to the front door, still in tears, and run outside. I run down the three flights of stairs before I reach the ground level.
I look up and gasp. I'm overwhelmed by who I see!
It's Harry.
*Harry's POV*
Alexis looks shocked to see me. She's still crying. I don't blame her! She probably doesn't know what the hell is going on! I walk up to her and put my arms around her. She wraps her arms around me and breaks down crying again.
"Shh, it's okay. It's okay." I say over and over, trying to sooth her. "C'mon, let's go inside. It's cold out here."
She leads me up to Kelsey's apartment and sits on the couch.
