worst nightmare

chapter 2

"worst nightmare"

**mark's POV**

kim and i grew closer and closer .

dont know why but we did. never did i thought that i would be friends like her. day by day i knew her more and more. we meet every day at lunch. we would eat together. rumours were spreading that we were a couple. oh how i wished that was true.*blush*

but sadly were not , but im contented on the relationship status we have now.

* * * *

lunch time at school. as usual we ate together but this day was different. i noticed something different about kim . she was pale and weary. never seen this side of her . i was concern. i cant help it so i asked her.

"whats wrong kimi?." i asked

"nothing mark.im fine *cough*"

she said

"what do you mean your fine?. your paler than ever , your suddenely always coughing.. tell me is there something wrong?.." i asked in a concern voice

"i dont want to talk about it mark"she said. "all i can say is that im sick."

"what? is it serious my dear?.. what can i do to help? " i couldnt let myself be calm when the girl i love is sick.

"nothing. just keep me company,

thats all i need" my kimi said

i wish i could help. i really do. i would anything to help my little kimi.

**kim's POV**

I was feeling really sick lately, maybe because of the stress but to make sure i went to the doctor.

after getting some tests

"good morning miss miller" the doctor greeted me.

"good morning"i replied " so whats wrong with me?.. " i said in a weak voice..

the doctor frowned as he was looking at my lab results. at that moment my heart started beating really fast.

" i have bad news my dear" he said

"what is it?" i said in a shakey voice. i was scared yet eager.to know what it was.

"sorry to say this but you have cancer dear" he said as calmly as he possibly could.

" i need talk to your parents About this " he added

" what? it cant be possible.. it cant be!!." tears bursted .

"im sorry dear. we shall do our very best to help you." he said

i walked out and went straight home. the doctor already called my parents so when i got home all of us couldnt stop crying. my dad couldnt believe it. he never thought her little girl could suffer such difficulty though he tried to be strong for me.

* * * *

the next morning. it was monday. i have thought about how was going to tell mark about my situation. i thought about it long and hard last night but until now i still couldnt think of it. every lunch mark and i would always eat together so i thought that maybe i could tell him there.

* * * *

lunch time. i saw mark's face smiling at me. it was magical. it almost took away the sadness that was tearing inside me. he noticed that i was looking sick. he asked me if there was something wrong. i thought i was ready to tell him , but unfortunatelly i wasnt. i thoughted that if i told him maybe he would treat me differently sp i kept it to myself.i hated the thought of lying to mark he was one of my best friends and also he is the person i love. after lunch we were about to part ways when suddenly i started feeling dizzy. the second i turned away from mark i fainted. the next thing i knew im at a hospital bed whith mark sleeping in a chair near me.

**mark's POV**

I was about to go to my next class when unexpectedly kim fainted. i quickly grabbed her and went straight to the clinic. the nurse said that it was better to bring her to the hospital. so i brought her to the hospital where my uncle works. i know she was in safe hands with my dad. when we got to the hospital she was rushed into a room. even when unconcious she was still as angelic as ever. my dad came to the room, he was shocked to see her .

"that's miss miller isnt it? " uncle asked.

"yes uncle, how did you know? " i asked.

"i was the one who read her lab results when she got her check up." he said.

"she got a check up?.. when?.."

i asked in shock.

"yesterday. wait. son how do you know miss miller?" he asked

"shes a close friend from school" i explained.

"since she did not tell you about her check up. she probobly didnt tell you what the results were? .. " he added.

" what was it uncle? tell me . i need to know . " i pleeded.

"she has cancer son. stage 3. im sorry. " he said.

i couldnt believe it. tears were running across my face. at that time kim was waking up.

"ill leave you two alone. ill be back to check her later" uncle said while walking out the door.

"hey kimi" i said in a soft voice.

"oh mark.. where am i ? what happened? why are you crying sweety?.. " she said.

"your in a hospital darling. you fainted." i explained.

"whats wrong? why are you crying?." she asked sweetly.

"why didnt you tell me?..".i asked while crying."why didnt you just tell me.?"

"how did you found out? " she asked.

"my uncle. he was the one who read your results yesterday. remember doctor martin collins?.. he told me. kimi .. cancer?.. *crying* kimi i wish i could help" i said while holding her hand, squeezing it tightly.

"im sorry my dear" she said " just be with me. accompany me. be here. thats what i need. dont worry sweety im not gonna give up that easy. im gonna fight." tears went flowing from both of eyes." ill never lose hope, u shouldnt too" she added while kissing my forehead.

after that very heartbreacking conversation i let her go to sleep.

i couldnt believe it. the person i love the most, my best friend was in danger if losing her life.

that thought created so many fears. i could never imagine living in a world without my darling kimi. a part of me wished that i shouldve been the one in her position. i will not lose hope like kimi said. i will be strong for me and for kimi.
