The Lovely Couple

Chapter 17

"Camille," Zack said. "You know I love you. I'm just trying to help you."

"How much do you love me, Zack?" Camille asked, staring out out the window of the car.

"From here," Zack said. Camille looked at him puzzled, but said nothing.

Camille had anywhere from six to eighteen days to live. She estimated that she would die in about a week and a half. She hadn't been very optimistic lately.

Zack on the other hand had been trying to get her to use this opportunity to do things she had always wanted to do. He had suggested things like cliff diving, throwing a party, pet a lion. Only one of those suggestions sounded good to her.

"So we should invite the entire senior crown and junior crowd," Camille said. Her and Zack were both seniors. Surely people would come to the party once they found out Zack was there.

Camille and Zack had gone out and bought snacks and drinks and printed some flyers to hand out at school.

Camille wasn't sure anybody would actually come. She had only become popular after she started dating Zack. But she hoped for the best.
