(Allison's P.O.V.)
The only people in my acting class are Danny and Cora. Cora has been by my side the entire day and it's kind of freaking me out. The teacher comes in and tells us about the play we're going to do: "Ways to Live Forever". The story is about this kid named Sam and how he goes through the final stages of Leukemia. When the teacher ask who wants to play Sam none of the boys raise their hands but the girls are eager to try. The scene is one of the final scene where Sam and his dad, with the rest of the family, are in the parents' bed. Cora, who plays Sam's sister, and another girl who plays the mom, lies in the bed pretending to be asleep. The teacher picks me to be Sam and Danny to play Sam's dad. I pretend I wake up from sleeping and look at Danny. Danny opens his mouth to talk.
"Hey"
"Why am I in your bed?"
"Because you've got a temperature." We stare at each other and then suddenly he talks again.
"I love you."
"I know." My character is supposed to drift back to sleep and while I'm pretending to sleep I realize something I'm actually falling asleep.
(Cora's P.O.V.)
When the scene's over most people have tears in their eyes. The teacher tells us all to sit down but Allison doesn't move. Danny gently shakes her but she doesn't move. Then Danny shakes her hard and I realize something she fainted.
"Danny get her to the nurse!" I yell. The whole class is frantic and I bolt out of there. If I'm correct Isaac is supposed to be in English. When I'm there I open the door and all eyes are on me. I search frantically for Isaac's and when I find them I say loud enough for his wolf-hearing to hear.
"Lahey, Allison fainted." Those words made Isaac bolt out of his seat and run to the nurse's place. When we got there, the nurse told us to be quite. She looked peaceful. Isaac sat immediately by her side and held her hand. He had tears in his eyes. I went up and put my hand on his shoulder.
"Thank you." He looked away and met my eyes.
"For what?"
"For beating the crap out of Scott." We both lightly chuckle at that. I bend down and kiss him on the cheek and walk out. Before I leave he says "If he hurts you again call me." I softly smile.
(Isaac's P.O.V.)
My thumb does soft circles against her hand. Her hand. It feels so cold. I wasn't lying when I said I loved her and even when she said she doesn't feel the same way, I couldn't be mad at her. I hear a soft groan coming from her mouth. My eyes shot up and see her eyes open.
"Oh my god." I say while kissing her forehead.
"Isaac I am so sorr-." I cut her off by kissing her passionately. We don't talk but I get in bed with her and we both fall, slowly, back to sleep.
(Allison's P.O.V.)
When Isaac fell asleep, I start thinking. I've been feeling weird for the past couple of days and that story, Ways to Live Forever, has got me thinking. My dad's Mom died of Leukemia. Which scares me because it can easily pass of to different people. Though, would it be so bad if I had it? It would make a lot of people's lives a whole lot easier. I should stop thinking I probably fainted due to stress or something. I didn't know it then but in the back of my head, a little buzzing started.
