Bash Summer of 2004 came the diagnosis that changed my life forever. We were only fourteen but a nightmare was already threathening to tear us apart. It was stage four, chronic lymphocytic leukemia. I didn't even know what the hell that was but they said that Daphne had it. I wished that I could do something, anything to ease her pain. But I was useless and for the first time in my life, the name Sebastian dela Cuesta didn't amount to anything. CC Summer of 2004 has been the hardest for me and Marcus. We've had our ups and downs but it was mostly downs. I don't know if it was because of our youth or our immaturity but whatever it was, it was slowly tearing us apart. I'm so confused and I have no idea about what I should do but there was one thing that I was certain about, I had to get out of here for both our sakes. I know that it was going to break his heart if I left but if I don't go, it's going to break mine. And for the nth time in my life, I wished that I wasn't Celine Castillo.

Marcus Adrian Lee. Adrian. Just saying your name makes my heart race so fast that I could barely breathe. I never wanted to fall for you...but I did. It was a cliché really, but I just couldn't help myself. I'm not sure if was your subtle charm or that certain sadness in your voice that drew me to you but all I know is that you're a habit that I could never kick. Will you ever see me the way that I saw you? Will I ever have the courage to finally admit my unrequited feelings? And will the day ever come when I'll finally be able to hear the words, "Madison Rain Rivera, I am in love with you, too."? Disclaimer: This is a work of fiction.
