First Love [Luke Hemmings]

Chp 20

Anne's POV

it's been almost a 2 weeks since I've last talked or seen Luke &I miss him. I've been getting better, I was going to start the treatment again but I had to stop since I almost died...

"Issac! Anne isn't breathing!"

"Mom what happened?" I ran over to my mom &saw Anne. she was turning blue "mom what happened!?"

"I dont know I was just getting ready to put the treatment in &she just stopped breathing"

"Mom call an ambulance now!" I pushed my mom out of the way &started to do CPR on Anne.

"I need an ambulance now! my daughter isn't breathing"

"Anne you don't get to die on me, I'll break a rib or punch your chest for you to breath again but you aren't going to die on me!" I scream to her.

I'm already on my fourth set of 30 & Anne hasn't even responded "Anne please breath" I tell her as I finish the last set.

Why isn't she breathing? I've done everything, I've tried everything. Well not really everything..

"Issac the paramedics are here" my mom tells me, I look up &I see the terror in her eyes of seeing Anne laying life less

"Fuck this" I said to myself as I punch Anne's heart.

Still nothing

I punch one more time &I hear a gasp, it was Anne who is awake.

"Fucken shit thank god" I sigh &I lay my head on Anne &start sobbing.

Doctor M said that the experimental treatment caused my heart to become weak that it was hard to pump blood through my whole body that it caused my heart to fail. Good thing Isaac took that CPR class that Dr. M recommended.

"Anne..."

"Yeah?"

"Can we talk?"

"Yeah sure mom" I move over my bed so that my mom can sit next to me "what's up?"

"Anne, Issac & I have been talking"

That's not good..

"We are gonna start going to a support group. after what happened I don't think we can bare another scare or the real thing by ourselves"

"Mom please.."

"&we also know that the last treatment killed you &a new treatment will do the same. Anne, I love you with all my heart. Issac loves you as well"

"Mom you are starting to talk to me like if I'm dying..."

"You did die Anne. you &I both know that the day will come soon. So I talked to Dr. M &he said that the treatment helped you a little &"

"Then let's try it again Mom. we can find a way to make it work this time"

"Anne making it work can kill you. I don't want you to leave the same way you did, and being locked in your room with your windows closed because the sun light gives you headaches & irritates your beautiful eyes"

"Mom.."

"So like I'm saying Anne, Dr. M said that the treatment shrunk your tumor by 5% and it's giving you a few more weeks. he said to keep taking your pills for your headaches"

"Mom, I don't want to leave you or Issac" I tell her as I hug her

"Oh baby, we don't want to leave you either, nor does Luke.."

"Luke?" I gave her a puzzled look "he knows?"

"No he doesn't hunny, but he calls almost every day. you need to tell him"

"Can I go see him?"

"I don't know can you?" She starts laughing "sweetie, you can do what you want okay. just be home before 12" she laughs as she gives me quick kiss on my cheek.

"I love you mom"

-

I arrive to Luke's place &I see his car but no ones else's. He probably is home alone or he might not be home at all.

I take a deep breath &start walking towards the front door. The closer I get the more nervous I get to see him.

I knock once but hard

"Please don't answer"
I told myself

I knock again

"Please answer"
I don't know. I want to see him but I'm scarred that I might need tell him the truth.

I want to knock again but I stop myself. I start walking away from the door but then I hear him.

Luke POV

I was debating of calling Anne but every time I do her mom or Issac answers &they tell me the exact same thing:

"She doesn't want to talk to you Luke. If she does she is going have to tell you &she doesn't want you to know"

"But I already do.."

"She doesn't know that.."

I hear a knock on my door which makes me loose my train of thought. I really don't want to see nobody.

"Ugh go away" I tell myself as I hear them knocking

They knock again but only once. I get up from my cough &walk towards the door.

"Anne?"

She turns around &she is so different.

"Hey" She awkwardly smiles at me

"Hey" I smiled as I stayed behind the door

"Um can I come in?"

"Ugh yeah sure. Please come in. Come in. Come in" I tell her

"Once is enough Luke" she smiles as she passes me.

"Luke I..."

I didn't let her finish, I went up to her grabbed her face &smashed my lips to hers. The taste of mint toothpaste on my taste buds made me realize it's actually her &not a dream.

"Luke let me explain"

"Not know" I stopped her. I didn't want to hear her voice, I wanted to feel her warmth, her closeness.

"Luke please" she said as she slowly separated her heart shaped lips from mine.

"Anne shut up &let me just be with you please" I told her as hugged.

"Luke I love you, Im so sorry for what has been going on. please forgive me" she said. I was able to her heavy breathing as if she trying to hold back her tears.

"Anne just tell me please" is all I wanted to tell her, instead I just kissed her. I kissed her like if there is no tomorrow.
