Bite's POV

Frost and I had been on a date when she collapsed. The ambulance came and sent her to the hospital, where the doctor did a few tests on her before announcing the devastating news.

She was diagnosed with lung cancer, and only had a few more weeks to live. The doctors also told us that she had hit her head as she collapsed and would not be able to remember what had happened in the past few months.

I sat beside Frost as she lay on the hospital bed, fast asleep. Why? Why is it always us? Why must there be so many obstacles to obstruct our relationship and separate us? First my mother, now this? Tears streamed down my cheeks as I looked down at her sleeping state. I hadn't broken the bad news to her yet, since it might just make her condition even worse.

A week passed, and day after day I took tender care of Frost. She grew weaker as the week continued, until one day she asked me, "Bite, I'm never going to get discharged, am I?"

I shook my head furiously as a lump formed in my throat. "No, you're going to be fine. You're going to recover and be as healthy as everyone else."

"Don't lie, Bite. I can tell it in your eyes. If it was just the average cough or flu, why wouldn't the doctor just tell me what illness I was suffering from? Why would you hide it from me?" Frost stared at me, waiting for an answer, an explanation as to why I had hid her medical condition from her.

I furiously fought back the tears of grief that threatened to spill out of my eyes. "T-the doctor says t-that you have l-lung cancer."

"I-" Frost glared at me, tears forming in her icy blue eyes. "You could've told me earlier! How much time do I have to live?"

"A-a few weeks."

"You idiot! You should've told me earlier!" She half-exploded half-sobbed. "Now every single moment we spend together is precious... I was looking forward to be discharged! I took your care for me for granted!"

Frost collapsed in a ball on the hospital bed, sobbing. Her mood grew worse and worse until one day, she woke up with abnormally clear eyes and started humming her favorite song.

"Once these walls were grey,

But you made stars and skies and snowflakes.

We found a rainbow everywhere,

You made a place so we could hide away..."

Frost continued singing, looking out of the window, her weak yet pure voice carrying across the room. She gasped for breath on a couple of verses.

"If you stay right by my side,

We'll make it through the night,

And we'll never have to feel alone again.

So before it's time to leave,

Would you build a little world with me..."

It was a sad yet beautiful song, and I couldn't stop a few tears dripping down my face. Frost turned her eyes from the window to me. She smiled at me as she sang the last verse. It brought me back to the scene years ago when my mother had forced us to break up and I had to leave Frost.

"Now it's time for me to leave,

I'm glad you built this little world... with me."

She was hurt and confused then, when I left her. Now it was her turn to leave me... forever.

Frost's smile faded, and her icy blue eyes fluttered closed for the last time. Her limp body lay on the hospital bed as the wail of the heart machine filled the room.
