Thanks for the reviews guys. Yeah, I feel terrible for Evan too. So enjoy reading.

When I see you smile

Evan sat there on the round table and everyone was out and about, dancing on the dance floor. Cody birthday party is always like The MTV awards. He saw the way Kelly glided on the dance floor. He sighed with deep remorse, asking God why he gave him two left feet. But he really had more problems ahead of him. His deepest darkest secret that he doesn't want anyone to know, it's hard but that was the choice he made.

"Gotcha!" Kelly said, interrupting Evan's reverie. "C'mon Evan, let's dance!" Kelly said, pulling Evan off his chair. When they got to the dance floor the song suddenly changed into a slow dance song. A song that means a lot to Evan, because he is always happy when he sees Kelly smile at him, that's just all he need to get through the day.

Evan wrapped his arms around Kelly's waist nervously, but he managed to smile at her. Kelly puts her hands on top of Evan's chest. Feeling herself melt in Evan's arms. She finally lays her head on Evan's chest; hearing his heartbeat made Kelly blush. And it's a good thing that it was to dim for Evan to see her blush.

When I see you smile

I can face the world, oh oh.

You know I can do anything

When I see you smile

I see a ray of light, oh oh,

I see it shining right through the rain

When I see you smile

Baby when I see you smile at me

Evan felt himself choking up. He wanted this moment, he longed for this moment to happen. "Oh God, please, give me one more month to live, one more year to live, and one more life time to live, so that I can be with her. This is the only thing I asked for, my entire life, I've never asked for anything…I just want to make her feel my love…" Evan felt a tear leak from his eye, he'd always prayed to God to give him another chance in life…but he'd been trying to find out if God answered all his prayers, but he can't find the answer God gave him.

Sometimes I wanna give up

I wanna give in,

I wanna quit the fight yeah

And one look at you baby

And everything's alright,

Everything's alright

So right...

Kelly looked up at Evan, feeling that something is wrong. "Evan, are you okay?" she asked. Evan nodded slowly. "Yeah, I'm fine…I'm fine…" He answered before kissing the top of Kelly's head. "Evan can I have a dance with Kelly?" Evan craned his neck and saw Cody. "Yeah," Evan said pulling away from Kelly and gesturing Cody to dance with Kelly. Evan went back to where he was situated and just looked on as Cody and Kelly danced…a thing that he may never get to do ever again with Kelly.

He sighed standing up to get a glass of water when he felt a sudden pain. He suddenly felt like the world was spinning, he held on to someone before finally collapsing.

Bed ridden, Evan was bored so he opened the television scanning through the channels before eventually turning it off. Kelly went inside his room. "Hey Evan," she paused. "How are you feeling?" Kelly asked. Evan tried to sit up but even doing so made him grimace. "I'm doing well," He lied. Judging from Kelly's expression, she's seemed restless. "Are you sure?" Kelly asked. Evan nodded. "Yes, I'm sure miss worry-wart…" Evan teased, but it's killing him inside to lie to Kelly about his health condition.

Kelly giggled before walking toward him and putting a huge platter of cake in front of him. "Oh, I almost forgot the utensils. I'll be right back." Kelly said before going out.

Cody entered Evan's bedroom. "Hey Evan," He paused, shaking Evan's hand. "Hey," Evan replied. "Man, you fainted last night, what up with you?" The raven haired young man asked. Evan had this far off gaze about him and Cody surprisingly didn't press him to tell the truth. "C'mon, Ev, don't tell you're going to lie to me too, I'm your cousin man and if you don't trust me I…" Cody got cut off when Evan spoke. "I have leukemia man," He almost choked up. Cody bowed his head and as he looked at Evan once again, tears were brimming to fall. "Yeah, I know, Aunt Angela told me as soon as I got here." He paused, inhaling deeply. "My mom told you, so that means she told." Evan didn't get to continue. "No. She has no plans in to telling Kelly, she wants you to be the one to tell her."

"How can all of this happen to such a wonderful person, I mean, man, that should be me in your position, you don't deserve this, you've been kind when I needed tutoring and I still treated you like shit. And I'm sorry." He burst into his tears.

"It's okay man," Evan said. "Cody, you have to promise me that you won't tell Kelly about this. Okay?" Evan asked. "Don't tell me about what?" Kelly interjected as soon as she got in. Evan lowered his head to hide his tears so Kelly turned to Cody for some enlightenment in the said situation. "Cody, what's wrong?" Her voice overcasting with undeniable fear, a fear that she never wants to feel, even if it's right in front of her.

Cody forced out the lump that has formed in his throat. "I think that Evan should be the one to talk to you about it…"

Evan started with the obvious and ended with the most frightening part. "I only have this year left to live…" A sudden tear forced its way out of Evan's eye. Kelly stared at Evan, hoping for some joke but it never came. "No. You're just kidding around right?" Tears were forming in her eyes. Evan lowered his head as a sign of defeat. Kelly turned for Evan to Cody and then back again. "No…that is not true!" She quickly embraced Evan tightly, shutting her eyes so that she can stop her tears but they went still and they dropped hard. "You can't…you can't leave me…" Her tears were endless and all Evan could say was I'm sorry. "Evan, you promised me that you'll watch me in the next production….and you promised me that you'll always be my best friend…" Evan's tears were endless too. "Kelly, you don't know how much it hurts me to see you like this…I want you to be happy…please…can you do that for me?" Evan caressed Kelly's cheek. Kelly nodded.

Days have elapsed and Kelly was soon realizing that her days with Evan were getting shorter and shorter. For the very first time in her life, Kelly prayed. She asked God to give Evan another chance in life because he is such a nice young person. He'd never been anything but nice and kind to the people he comes in contact with. No matter who it was, he didn't care he just likes to be nice to other people.

"Lord, I know that I haven't done this in years and I'm sorry. Please give Evan another chance…he doesn't deserve all of the pain that he is going through. I know that I can't change anything but if you just please add another day…add another month…add another year…add another life time in his life…I will be forever grateful…"

"C'mon Evan," Kelly said. "What do you mean?" Evan asked. "I believe that we didn't get to finish our slow dance two months ago…" She said with a strained smile. "Yeah, you left me for my cousin." Evan joked.

Kelly wrapped her arms around Evan's neck and Evan wrapped both of his hands around Kelly's waist. "Kelly, I just want to thank you for the past fourteen years that we have been best friends. I really enjoyed those moments with you…" Evan whispered. Kelly lays her head on Evan's chest and she began to sob. She sobbed for along moment before Evan finally wrapped his arms around Kelly tighter. Kelly looked up at Evan and ran a finger on his cheek. "I love you Evan…more than anyone in this world…" She cupped Evan's face and kissed him. The kiss certainly didn't last long but it was one of those moments that you'll want to tell your children and your grandchildren when you're older. But Evan might not get to experience that.

A tear escaped from Evan's eyes, he'd never been so happy in his life, and yet everything seemed to go wrong. The girl of his dreams finally told him that she loved him, and here he is dying. He doesn't want to prolong Kelly's agony because it's also hurting him. No matter how much you sliced it, Kelly will never be happy with him because he's only got a few months left to live.

Evan pulled away from Kelly; a sad smile came about his face. He didn't want to do this but he has to, for Kelly's own good. "Kelly, we can be friends, but you can't—you can't love me." He trailed off. Kelly gave Evan a quizzical look. "What do you mean I can't?" She asked hoarsely.

"Because I'm dying," Evan exclaimed, tears flowing from his eyes. "The doctors can't do anything about it! I can't do anything about it! Do you honestly think that you can do anything about it?" Kelly stared at Evan, feeling herself melting away in the problem. "Evan, there is still hope! Miracles can happen. You just have to believe that there is." Kelly cupped Evan's face and smiled at him.

Evan turned away. "Kelly I've stopped believing in miracles ever since I got diagnosed five years ago." Kelly was speechless, because this is the first time that she saw Evan so helpless. "You have to because it's the only way." Kelly said before going out of Evan's bedroom.

Baby when I see you smile at me
