Dear Gabriella,

I love you. I hate that you are rejecting my calls and I hate that you feel that you can't be with me anymore. I know you are suffering but I want to help you. I CAN help you so please let me. I can't imagine myself being with anybody else but you and I want to help you. If anything happened to you and I wasn't there Gabby I could never live with myself. Please, please just talk to me. I love you so much Gabby, forever.

Troy

Gabriella read the letter intently. Every word he wrote she knew was true. And she wanted him back just as much. But it just couldn't happen, not now. She wanted him to move on before her life ended. She didn't want him to have to deal with her gone. He needed to get used to it now, as much as it was hurting them both. She placed the letter neatly back in the envelope and put in her drawer.

"Gabriella, honey how are you feeling now?" Gabriella's mum asked. Gabriella had her head over the toilet and her mum was holding back her hair, something she was used to by now. Her face was pale and her hair was covered in bald patches. Wiping her mouth, she looked in to the mirror. Her reflection put her in disbelief, she was like a stranger.
"Mum, I don't feel very good at all, I think I need to lie down" And with that she walked back in to her bedroom and tucked herself underneath her duvet. She grabbed her phone from the side and decided now should be the time to text Troy, after all it could be the last time.

This may be the last time I speak to you Troy but I want you to know I love you.
Yours always, Gabby xxxx

She shut her eyes and tried so hard to push everything to the back of her mind. She just needed some sleep.
