Sethlyn is already dying. She isn't supposed to walk anymore. She and her aunt moved here to be closer to the hospital where Seth gets her chemo, and Seth treats everyone like they've been her friend for years, including her quiet Biology partner, who happens to turn up more than once just when she needs someone, anyone; and without her permission he slowly becomes her everything.

Sethlyn doesn't want to fall in love. She doesn't want to leave any more broken hearts behind her than she has to if she dies. But what if she never had to? Could Seth possibly choose between dying herself, or watching all of her loved ones die instead? Could anything possibly be worth it?

*Rated Mature for use of cuss words. Nothing gory, nothing sexual, and nothing extreme in the cussing.
**I haven't been interested in the Twilight series in years, but this story occurred to me, and I thought I'd see where it went. It won't follow anything word-for-word, with this story there would be little point. Seth replaces Bella, Edward is less of a worrier, and less prominent characters may have been tweaked but they for the most part remain the same.
