Haileys POV

"Your so sweet." I said to Aaron as everyone walked up to us.

"Thank you." Cameron said pushing ahead and smiling. We all laughed and sat down to eat. Aaron and I continued eatting while the rest of them ordered.

We were in the middle of the meal when Kaitlyn gasped.

"What's wrong?" Jack Johnson asked. Standing up with Kaitlyn.

"Take me to the hospital." She yelled. Jack and her ran out of the Resturant and jumped into a limo.

"I wonder what's wrong." Nash asked so we could all hear. We shook our heads, not knowing any reason for her to have to go to the hospital.

"IVY!" Cameron yelled. He ran out of the resturant door and we all followed him.

"There's $200 that should cover it all." Aaron said handing the waitress the money for dinner.

"On the house." She said giving the money back. He nodded and ran with the rest.

We all jumped into the other limo and it drove.

Natalie comforted Cameron by wrapping her arm around his shoulder.

"Let's hope for the best." She said. Everyone nodded.

"Can we say a prayer?" Cameron asked in tears. We all nodded and bowed out heads.

"Dear lord, please let Ivy be okay. She is strong and can handle it. Please. Let her be okay."

Ivy's POV

I was having a bad day. Everything hurt and I looked like crap. My mom was sitting on the chair next to my bed watching TV.

I was so sleepy. I just need to take a nap. I slowly closed my eyes. Every time I did, I saw a bright light inside my eyelids.

I heard high pitched voices singing. When my eyes finally closed, I heard a faint beep. Long and drawn out. I heard my mom scream and people rushing in.

Then, I saw myself being pushed into the operating room.

Am I dead? My mom was kneeling in the hallway, crying. Kaitlyn and Jack J ran up to her. Ten minutes later Magcon came.

I, Ivy Jean. Just died from cancer.

Cameron's POV

We ran into the hospital. I saw Kaitlyn, Jack J and Ivy's mom all bawling in the hall outside of Ivy's room.

"Cameron." Jack J said as I about to ask what happened. I kinda already knew.

"No." I said slowly backing away. Kaitlin and Mrs. Jean looked up at me.

"Cameron. It's okay." They said. I shook my head. I turned to run away but couldn't move.

Run. Left right left right. Run.

Finally my body cooperated with me mind and I ran. I ran to the stairs and ran up to the roof of the hospital. I sat down on the edge, my legs swinging over. I wasn't gonna jump.

"I love you Ivy." I said. I didn't love her like a girlfriend, she looked up to me.

I pulled out my phone and went to our last messages. They were from last night.

End of texts

I started to tear up. I won't see her on Friday. I won't see her ever.

I remember her face when she saw me walk through her hospital room door. Eyes wide. She teared up.

"Why!? Why her?! She didn't deserve this life!" I yelled.

"Cameron." I heard Natalie say. I turned my head and saw her.

"I should have done more for her." I mumbled.

"No one could have done more than you." Natalie said. I swung my legs over the side and put my feet in the ground.

I walked to the door and walked down the stairs to Ivy's old floor.

Everyone was in her room, sitting, crying. Her bed was back, but she wasn't in it.

"Here." Kaitlyn said handing me something. I opened my hand and saw the shell that we found together.

"She's want you to have it." She said turning to sit down.

"I know this is all happening so fast, but I know that you all are leaving for Las Vegas tomorrow afternoon. We want you guys to be at her funeral service. It's at 3:30 tomorrow." Mrs. Jean said. I looked at Nash and Matt pleadingly.

"Our event on Thrisday ain't until 2:00. We could push our flight to early morning." Matt said.

"Nash call Bart and have him move our flight." He added.

"Cameron, can you speak at the service?" Kaitlyn asked.

"Of course I'll speak at the service. Anything for Ivy."
