YAYAYAYA I'm back! WOOOO! (Sorry if I freaked out anyone who hasn't read one of my stories before. You'll get used to stuff like that if you keep reading) So yea, I pretty much said it all in the author's note at the end of part three. If you're new to this series though GO READ THE FIRST THREE PARTS FIRST! Cuz this isn't going to make any sense and you're going to have to go back and read them anyway but then you'll know what happens and the surprise will be ruined. Also, please review.

And of course, I don't own SWAC or any of the characters, blah blah blah.

Wow, that was surprisingly short. Enjoy!

Nico's POV

I pulled into Malena's driveway and put my car in park. Malena opened the door and I reached across her to close it and pushed down the lock.

"Nico," she began.

"Why didn't you tell me?" I interrupted.

"I did tell you," she answered. "Before the time machine thing. I forgot you didn't know."

"Nice try," I said. "But Wesley said four months ago The time machine incident happened almost half a year ago."

"He must have gotten the date wrong," she answered, fiddling with the lock.

"Malena," I said.

"I didn't want you to worry, okay?" she said, sitting back in defeat.

"Well, you must have known I'd find out someday,"

"I hoped it would be gone before then," she confessed. I sighed. How could this be happening?

"Well, how bad is it?" I asked.

"Not too bad," Malena answered. I gave her a look. "Okay, it's bad," she confessed. "Really bad. But I'm not gonna die, Nico. I promise."

"How do you know you're not?" I asked, tears welling up in my eyes. "I've heard people with cancer say that before. My aunt said she wasn't going to die. My cousin said she wasn't going to die. And guess what? They both died! I can't lose you Malena. I love you too much."

"I know," she whispered, tearing up as well. "I love you too. That's why I didn't want you to find out."

"Yea, I know," I answered, wiping my tears away with the back of my hand. "But from now on, please tell me everything. I need to know what's going on with you so I'll know if you're about to..."

"I will," she said. "I promise." I leaned across the storage compartment between the two seats and kissed her gently.

"Is it okay if I come inside?" I asked. "I don't really want to go home alone after finding out something like this?"

"Sure," Malena answered, opening up her door. I followed Malena into her living room. Normally, we would have made out for the next twenty minutes, but this time, I just held her, hoping I would never have to let her go.

I actually cried when I wrote this. I feel really bad about having to stoop THIS low for a little Nico drama, but hey it IS a drama so without this, we might not have a story. Seriously, I was actually thinking of wrapping everything up at the end of part III, but then I remembered the Nico drama I had planned so I decided I SHOULD continue with the fourth part. Besides, it isn't fair to the others that Nico's life is SO perfect...well, not perfect. there was that incident in part I where Malena dumped him...and then there was the whole Chad almost dying thing, but seriously, that's not much considering the amount of drama the others had to deal with.

NOw this is very important. I think I've realized the root cause of my writer's block. It's kind of ironic actually. I've finally got my Nico drama, BUT I don't have any drama for the others. Well, I have some Grady-Zora-Wesley stuff planned obviously and I do have some ideas for Sonny-Chad drama in later chapters, but I'm kind of stumped. I feel like I've used EVERYTHING and I could really use some inspiration because...hold on a second. I'll finish that sentence in a second, but I literally just got THE BEST idea for drama. DUDE! That's an awesome idea! OH MY GOD! Sorry can't tell you, but I"m soooo using that. k sorry. I could really use some inspiration because right now my story is kind of just boring every day life and, well, I'm not sure if I'm gonna keep this part scene in there because it's kind of borderline M-rated, but...nevermind. I've said too much already.

And finally, just want to say that it's GREAT to be back writing this story. To be completely honest, that April Fools Joke was kind of just an excuse to read more of your beautiful review. I'm a review-thirsty monster! T-T Well, that's all.

PEACE OUT SUCKAHS! (And luv ya)
