Cancer? This can't be true. I can't imagine how Liza must be feeling right now. My eyes are growing heavy as I sat in the waiting room. It has been nearly 6 hours into the surgery and I'm getting worried. I hate hospitals. So much for comfortable couches. The double doors open as the doctor came out. Must be the surgeon because he's still in the blue get up. I walked up to him.

"Hi, I'm Doctor Ross. You must be family to Liza Mitchells?" he greeted hoding his hand out. I shook it lightly. "Yeah. How is she?" I replied. "Surgery was a success. We were able to remove the tumor from the pancreas. As you know there is a possibility it can come back. We can prevent it if she goes through chemotherapy."

I let out a sigh running my fingers through my hair. "Is it possible she can be cured from the cancer?" I asked nervously. "It's possible. If you follow the treaments we have for it. She will be able to build enough enzymes to fight back the diseases. We just need faith." he replied smiling. "Can I see her?" "She is resting right now. I would advice you go home. Get some rest. I can assure you she will be well taken care of." Maybe I should. My head is all over the place. I don't know if I can handle seeing her. My emotions are all over the place. I knodded my head and left the hospital.

I laid down in bed trying to sleep. For some reason it is just not happening. I get up walking over to my closet. I pull out my box of memories. I began looking through the old pictures of my childhood. Every single picture consisted of me and Liza. I smiled to myself with each picture. Reminiscing over the good times we had. We would go riding bikes and stir up trouble. Pranks mostly. Cops and Robbers was the best game. Liza made a good robber.

Tears fell from my eyes. Why is this happening to her? It's not fair. Around my neck I still had the bottle cap necklace Liza gave me. I looked down at it smiling. On the top of the cap it read: Friends, Love, Peace. I fell back on the bed closing my eyes. I began to play back the memories of my life with Liza. Such a simpler time. That beautiful smile, her laugh, and strong personality.

I can see the sun shinning through brown hair. Each curly tendrils blew in the breeze as she rain through the yellow meadow. As we laid on the grass looking up at the clouds. Our fingers interlaced together. The summer breeze over came us as we laid there in silence. Liza turns to look at me.

Those sparkling green eyes burned into mine. Her pink lips turned up in a smile. I would just gaze at her wondering what she is thinking of. I kiss her hand softly. I ran my fingers down her cheek. I mouthed 'I love you' to her. Either she understood me or not she just smiled. In my heart, I knew she understood. I felt her lips on my forehead. She rested her head on my chest as we enjoyed the sunset.

I wake up a few hours later. I go to take a shower and get dress. I walked into the kitchen to fix me something to eat. Once I was finished I headed out the door. I step into my car almost excited to see Liza. Even though deep down I'm scared of what will happen. I really need to stay positive for her. She is going to need it. I can't have her lose hope. I parked the car and headed inside the building. I stopped at the front desk to ask the nurse which room Liza is in.

I get into the elevator pushing the button for second floor. The door slides open and I searched for the room. Once I found it I walked inside. My blood boiled when I seen Liza's parents in the room. I closed the door behind me and remained cool. I don't want to cause a scene. It would only stress Liza out. Their eyes watched my every move as I walked toward the bed. Liza smiled up at me reaching out for my hand. I leaned down giving her a peck on the lips.

"How are you feeling, babe?" I asked holding her hand. She whinced a little as she tried to sit up. "I feel sore but, I'm okay. I missed you." she replied. "I missed you more. The doctor suggested I go home and get some rest." I look over at her parents. They just sat there quietly. "Liza told us how you've helped her. We want to thank you for it." said Mrs. Mitchells. I scoffed at her shaking my head. "It's nice to know that after all this time. You guys actually care about her health." I retorted. "Give us a break Robert." snapped Mr. Mitchells.

I rolled my eyes at him and turned to look at Liza. "Robbie, try not to be so hard on them. They're still my parents and they love me." said Liza sliding her fingers down my cheek. I smiled at her giving her hand a kiss. "Anything you say baby. I just want to see you happy." I assured. "I love you." "I love you more." She smiled brightly to me squeezing my hand lightly. I looked over at her parents giving them a half smile. "Would you two mind stepping out? I want to talk with Liza alone for a minute." I asked. They stood up and exit the room.

"I know what you're going to say Robert. Don't worry. Dr. Ross talked to me about it." blurted out Liza. I looked at her shocked. "How do you feel about it?" I asked. She sighed out loud looking up at the ceiling. I can see her on the verge of crying. "To be honest. I'm scared out of my mind. Then I thought about you and how you would have dealt with this. I know you won't let me give up." She started to cry and I immediately wrapped my arms around her. "You can fight this disease. I have faith in you. I made a promise to stay and I'm never breaking it. You're not alone anymore."

I can't bare to see her like this. She need me more now then ever. No matter what gets in my way. I will never leave. I love her far too much. If I give up she will. I held her close to me as she weeped. A tear fell from my eyes. I didn't want to cry but, I couldn't hold it in. Liza pulled away wiping the tears from her eyes. "I'll take the chemotherapy and fight for my life. As long as we're together. I won't give up." she said. "You're strong woman who deserves to live her life to the fullest. Whatever you want to do. I'll make it my mission to help you get it." I answered with a smile. "How about college?" "Really?! Are you sure?" "Yes. I never got the chance to go after high school. I think I can handle. But, I don't want to go far away. A college near home would be great." "I can help you get in. This is wonderful. My beautiful Liza is truly changed. I love you." "I love you, Robert. Thank you for always being here for me." "I'm never leaving you again. You have me for life." I pressed my lips against hers. Liza is going to be okay. I just know it.
