I would recommend you to listen to "Shark water" by Project twin while you read. I think that the melody is very suitable for this chapter. I was listening to this song while I was writing the chapter. You don't need to listen to the song. I just think that it is perfect for the chapter. If you do decide to listen to it I would recommend to do it in the middle of the chapter.
Thank you for the reviews. I really look forward to read more of them. They definitely keep me going so I would really appreciate if you continue writing them. I do not own Vampire Academy/Bloodlines or the characters, Richelle Mead does.
We talked about each other and both of us were happy that finally there was somebody to hear our stories and understand our feelings.
Chapter 4
The next day:
I decided to call Jill and see how she was. Adrian was out grocery shopping and it was the first time I was alone for the past few days. I didn't like to stay without him and even now I missed him.
"Hi Sydney!"-she sounded very happy as usual.
"Hi Jill!"
"How are you? I was just thinking about you. Did you get the results?"
"I'm going to get the results the day after tomorrow but I think I'm fine plus alchemist never get sick. Our tattoos protect us."
"Oh yeah I forgot about that. By the way can I come over on Friday and stay with you for the weekend? I like Amy but she doesn't really like to talk."
"Sure. I would love for you to come over!"-when I first came here I wouldn't have believed that I would be happy to have a moroi in my home but I really had changed. I didn't feel scared or nervous around vampires anymore.
"Adrian is coming home. I'm gonna go now. See you tomorrow for the feeding?"
"Yup see you tomorrow!"
I heard the sound of the elevator and got up. The elevator door opened and Adrian's hands were fool with bags.
"Are we going to feed a village?"-I asked surprised.
"Nope I just bought more stuff so that I wouldn't have to leave you alone all week."
"Whole week? More like a whole month."-I laughed. "By the way Jill is coming over on Friday."
"Ok great."
I felt that terrible feeling like I was going to throw up any second. This time I had the time to say to Adrian: "I'll be right back."
"Ok"-he didn't seem to notice I was in a rush and I was thankful about it. Of course I puked my brains out again.
In about 5 minutes I was back in the room and feeling much better than the last time I was here.
"Are you ok? You look kind of pale."-he asked concerned.
"Yeah I'm fine don't worry."
For the next day and a half I didn't feel sick. I was feeling better than ever. Adrian was with me all the time. We went to the movies and didn't remember which movie we saw because all we were looking at in the cinema was each other. Yesterday Adrian got a call from some of his college buddies and he was going to refuse their invitation to meet them but I told him it was going to be fine. I told him that I was gonna go get the results and that he should meet his friends and I was happy that he agreed because I didn't want him to get as worried as I was.
It was 9 am and I got up. My appointment was at 10:30 so I made some breakfast for me and Adrian before he got out and then dressed up but I realized that I had lost weight when I put on my pants. It was probably from all the puking. Usually I would be happy from a weight loss but right now that just made me more worried than I was. When I arrived the doctor was already waiting for me. I couldn't recognize if she had good news or bad news. She didn't show one single emotion on her face.
"So Sydney your results came out."
"And?"
"Have you had any symptoms of being sick?"-I didn't like where she was going with this.
"Actually yes. I had nausea and I feel tired all the time and I think I had fever the other day but I guess it's just the flu."
"Sydney I don't want you to freak out."
"What is it?"-she had bad news.
"I'm sorry to have to tell you that you have Leukemia also known as blood cancer."
I didn't realize what she was telling me. Her words just didn't get to my mind.
"That's impossible"-I laughed."Alchemist can't have cancer. Our tattoos protect us from being sick. It can't be. Your results are wrong."
"Look Sydney it is very rear with alchemist to have any kind of disease but it happens. It has happened before. It probably happens to one in a million but it does."-I could feel the tear drops coming out of my eyes.
"That's impossible. It can't be. I'm finally happy. This is not happening."
"I am so sorry Sydney."
"How bad is it? How much time do I have?"
"I recommend to start with chemotherapy."
"You didn't answer my question."-I didn't look at her.
"About 8 months maybe more if we treat it."
Eight months , that was so unfair. How could I be one in a million. This was not fair. What was I suppose to do now?
"I'm not going to treat it."
"Sydney you shouldn't give up. Miracles happen all the time."
"I've seen my grandmother go through this. I want to have at least those 8 months. No treatment. I don't want it. I would also appreciate if you don't tell the alchemist about this."-I got up and left.
I drove around town for an hour and ended up on the beach. The day wasn't as sunny as usual and there wasn't many people there. I started running to the water and got into the deep. I wasn't myself. I started thinking what I was going to tell to Adrian. I didn't want to break his heart for the second time because this time it could stay broken forever and it was not fair to him. For a moment I realized that I was shaking. The water was freezing. I got out , I was all wet but I didn't care. I was just hoping that Adrian wasn't at home yet.
When I got there the house was empty. I got under the shower and calmed myself. While I was combing my hair I was watching myself in the mirror and realized that's how I wanted Adrian to remember me. I knew that at the end I wouldn't look that way. I was going to stay today. I was going to tell him I was fine and I was going to have the best day with him. Tomorrow I was going to leave before I had the influence to totally destroy what he had accomplished. I was hoping that he would forget me easier than Rose. I was hoping that I wouldn't hurt him the same way she did. I was hoping I didn't mean as much to him as he did to me.
I got dressed and put on some makeup. I curled my hair and did my nails. I wanted this night to be perfect because it was going to be the last. For dinner I made stakes with some potatoes and some salad.
I looked at my phone to see what time it was and I saw that I had 5 missed calls from Adrian. I called him. He was probably worried.
"Hey baby!"
"Hey , I was worried. What happened?"
"Nothing. I'm fine."
"Thank God! I don't know what I would do if I lost you."
"Probably you would have more time for yourself"-I started joking."So when are you coming home?"
"In 10 minutes. I'm almost there."
"Oh, ok. Great! I'm waiting for you."
"See you in a sec."
"See you."-I was going to cry but I would ruin my makeup.
In exactly 10 minutes Adrian was at the door. He had bouquet in his hands. The moment he saw me he picked me up and started spinning me in the air. I wrapped my legs around his waist and he started kissing me passionately. He left the bouquet on the couch and took me to his bedroom. I guess the dinner could wait.
