Chapter 15 - April's Farwell

Lukes P.O.V

We arrived at the Sydney hospital early the next morning and we rushed to April's room.

'Luke Hemmings?' I heard the doctor call out.

'Yeah?' I asked walking over to him with the boys on my heels.

'I am not so sure how to say this but she won't survive anything we do. You are going to lose April. I am terribly sorry. You can go talk to her though she'll be awake for a small bit when she stops and the machine beeps well you know what will have happened.' I nodded and kept the tears from falling. Gosh Luke keep it together.... We walked into Aprils room and she was breathing softly and her eyes fluttered open and I felt my heart break a bit.

'Mikey? Lukey? Ashy? Cal?' She asked weakly and we all nodded. 'I am so happy to see you guys.' She weakly smiled.

'Hey...it'll be okay short stack.' Calum smiled at her causing a small giggle and my heart to break again.

'I know it won't. I heard the doctor. At least I get to spend my last moments with the four boys I love with all my heart.' I saw Ashton start to cry.

'Hey don't say that. We won't let you leave. Not yet anyway. You got too much to live for.' Ash let it all lose and cried.

'Ashy...I have everything I could ever ask for here with me right now.' She smiled. A genuine smile.

'Do you want me to call mum?' Michael asked her and she nodded. 'Calum, Ash come on. Leave her with Luke.' They nodded and left.

'Hey babe.' I smiled.

'Hey Lukey.' I stepped closer and walked up beside the bed and kissed her as passionately and lovingly as I possibly could. 'I needed that.' She smiled.

'I can't believe this is our last time together. You are too young. I love you April.' I felt tears well up in my eyes.

'I. Love. You. Too. Lukey.' Her eyes fluttered shut and just like that she was gone. At least I told her I loved her and I truly genuinely meant it.

-A Week Later-

I was walking down the passageway to give a speech. I had a full speech planned out and I wasn't leaving anything that was important out.

'I first April in year 9. When I first met her brother. We always had that kind of relationship like a love/hate relationship. I was always there for her. I told her to tell her brother about all the stuff she did that he should've known about and she did it. Over the past few years she and I had got closer. We eventually took it to the next step and began dating. I will never forget how much I loved her and I will always love her. That was the last thing I told her. How much I loved her. I should've told her every day but never did. I may have lost April but I still have her.' I stepped down and walked back to Michael. Tears falling freely. I will never forget April.
