Fight for Life
Chapter Ten
A/N- Dear Readers, this chapter will get a little intense. So, beware.
Leslie tossed and turned in bed, her stomach twisted up in horrid little
knots. Jess lay beside her, snoring, dead to the world. The tv was flickering
on, and a window revealed a starry, black night.
It was just after one, when Jess and Leslie had returned home. They had made
love, and Jesse had secretly thought even though Leslie was bald and going
through chemo, she could still be incredibly sexy and a turn-on. He couldn't
keep his hands off her body.
Yet, Leslie didn't give a rat's bum whenever she was sexy or not.
You see, Leslie's battle with cancer had hit reality. She knew it was a real
possiblity that she could die. And she didn't want to die! Oh lord, she was so
young. She wasn't ready to go just yet.
Leslie stared at the ceiling, thinking of the last 35 years of her life. She
remebered the day she and her parents arrived in Lark Creek, for a 'fresh
start'. She remebered meeting Jess, and saying to herself 'There's something
speacial in him. And I'm going to bring it out.' She also remebered how Jess
had snubbed her at first, all because she had stolen away the title of the
fastest kid in the fifth grade. But he had soon gotten over that, and he and
Leslie became best friends, then later lovers, and now husband and wife.
Leslie sighed. Such happy memories. Memories she knew even cancer couldn't
destroy.
A sob escaped her lip, and she clutched her blanket. It wasn't fair! Why was
she to be robbed of the life she desvered?
It wasn't fair. If she died, she would miss out on so much.
A/n- sad, huh?
