Chapter 1

May 30, 2014

"Ms. Cabello, I'm very sorry we did all we could your tumor has only gotten worse, we fear there is nothing left we can do. We suggest that you stay a little longer for some more tests-"

"How long do I have?" She asks her doctor.

"Pardon?" He asks

"Please, just tell me," Camila does not break eye contact with her doctor. 

"According to this, the estimate time is three months... I'm so sorry Ms-"

She cuts him off again, "yes I know can I go home now?" She asks she is keeping a strong figure when in reality deep inside she is already gone. She is broken and hurt three months is all she gets all her dreams for her future are gone. Her life? Vanished.

"I believe you should stay, we can treat it," Says the doctor.

"Please, the last thing I want to do is spend the last three months of my life in a hospital."

"As you wish," He exists the room. Camila looks down at the floor taking a deep breath. She closes her eyes realizing that this, this is it. There is no more backing out, it's time to face the fact there is no backing out. She heard the door open following the sound quick sharp click made by high heels. She felt the hands of her best friend softly touch her wrists. 

"Mila, what is it?" She asks

"I'm dying," She says

"Mila don't say that no you aren't," Her best friend's voice softens, she takes one hand and hold's Camila's shoulder. 

"Ally, I mean it, I'm dying," Camila grips Ally's wrist nodding her head. 

"How long?" Ally froze, her heart dropped.

"Three months," Camila says, her eyes lock with Ally's she can already sense the tears ready to fall from her eyes. 

"Are you sure?" Asks her boyfriend Austin. Camila nods releasing Ally's arm giving her boyfriend space to wiggle in and hug her. Camila hesitates before hugging him back. 

"Can we go home?" Camila asks over Austin's shoulder. 

"I'll take you," Austin responds. Camila felt different with his response, as if she didn't want him. 

"On that note," He says pulling out his phone a smile tries to grow on his lips but he prevents it. Camila did not notice his phone has gone off. 

"I can't take you I'm sorry honey," He says kissing her forehead keeping his eyes on his phone.

"Ok," She says trying to catch a glance. 

"Bye love you," his eyes don't move from his phone as he turns on his heels out the door. 

"Bye, love you too." Says Camila not necessarily feeling the same. Ally locks her arm with Camila's arm walking her through the doors. 

"Sorry he couldn't come with, Mila, he's been weird lately," Ally explains. 

"It's fine," Camila sighs.

Ally drove swiftly through traffic, everything went smoothly. Camila enter's her home to immediately be bombarded with hugs and questions. 

"Come in, please," They tell her, Ally follows closing the door behind them.

"Karla! Karla! Look what mommy and daddy got me!" Camila's little sister Sofia comes running in the room holding up a new teddy bear.

"Not now Sofia," Says Camila.

"But look!" Camila says. 

"Not now!" Camila screams.
