*Levi's POV*
The shock was still huge to me till this day. Me and Sarah now never go separate ways.
We still have hope, that maybe a miracle can happen and just the medications and the surgeries work. By we, I mean me, Carol and John.
Sarah just accepted the fact that she's finally gonna reunite with her family. That doesn't mean that she stopped hanging out with us or stopped laughing and smiling. She just doesn't have any hope.
We are now in a difficult position throughout this whole journey. Sarah needs bed rest. She doesn't like it and frankly, nor do I , but we need to do what's best for her.
We make her breakfast, lunch and dinner in bed. We play board games all together with her. Ugh, and I cannot tell you how many times I overhear Sarah and Carol gossiping about us.
She's so brave though. She never felt like giving up and she takes all the medications needed and do a lot of surgeries without even complaining. I am so proud of her and I love her by all means. And even if our time together wasn't that long, I am positive that she is my one and only.

*Sarah's POV*
Yes, this whole journey is long, dreadful and tiring. But it's worth every minute if at the end, I get to be with my family. And if it happens and I win this battle, I'll also be extremely glad as I'll get to stay with Levi , Carol and John. Having someone who you can depend on and give them your life without a worry is such a blessing. And I ain't got one, I have three.
I can't help but think that if I hadn't met them that day, they would've been all happy now celebrating the newly wed couple, not pretending to be okay when they are crushed because of their best friend's soon-to-be death.
The doctor says that its a matter of time now and I feel that it could be about a month or less. I am scared, yes. But also I am happy. I'l be relieved from all of this pain and I'll finally be with my family back again.

I started to write the last 3 papers quickly just in case that Levi returned home early.

*Carol's POV*
We were sitting at home when we found Levi just stopping by.
"Why aren't you with Sarah?" that was the first thing that came to my mind.
"Nice to meet you too, Carol," he said sarcastically, "I told her that I'm going to get some groceries after work."
I looked at him with a look on my face that says 'Complete please.'
"Look guys, I want Sarah to have the best time of her life till she you know, leaves us. This might be her last time to see us and I really want it to be special. No one knows if she'll even make it till Christmas!" he said with a look of hurt in his eyes. That's all what I've been noticing lately of Levi.
"I'm so in," I said and John nodded. Like did he expected us to disagree or something?
"Okay, I'm gonna get some balloons and some other stuff and set them up in the house and y'all just bring whatever you want," he said standing up excitedly.

I've never seen Levi in such a hurry to make someone happy. I've never seen him so much in love like he is now. I knew when he first told us that he loved her that she'll make him happy. But if I knew that she'll end up like...this, I would've stopped it. I don't wanna be the bad guy or anything, but I cannot handle seeing my best friend hurt over my other best friend who is dying.

*Sarah's POV*
Levi has been gone for a long time now. I mean, sure he can get round up in all the groceries but not for this long. I reached for my phone next to me on the bed and dialed his number. He answered after the first ring.
"Is everything okay? Are you okay? Is there something wrong?" he asked worryingly leaving me no time to even answer.
"No, but where the hell are you?" I asked trying so hard not to let my voice break from the pain.
"I told you I'll get some groceries. Don't worry babe, I'll be back before you know it," he said soothingly and we exchanged our i love yous and ended the call.

If someone back in college told me that I'll be dating Levi, my quirky roommate that hosts parties every single weekend, I would've laughed my head off at him. Back then, I just considered Levi as my friend and brother. He was there for me if I needed any help and I guess that's more than enough to put someone under the label of 'brother'. As I started dating him, I noticed a lot other extremely perfect qualities I never noticed before and that is what makes our life just the best. When I'm sleeping in his arms, sometimes that's all I need. I imagine myself in one of the best places in the world, sitting on the beach in Levi's arms. It's the most perfect scenario anyone could ask for but, it can't happen. Even if we tried a thousand different doctor and did a hundred other surgeries, I'd still die. It's all fate and I can't change nothing about it.

I hear some shuffling coming from outside. It must be Levi. "Levi?" I call with the loudest voice that can come out of me and it's barely even heard. I took my walking cane and stood up, nearly yelling from all of the pain. I made it to the door and opened it and it was the best scene just in front of my eyes.
