AUTHORS NOTE: Hello everyone! I want to announce right now that in 8 days I will be leaving for three weeks and I don't know if I will have any computer access so I won't be able to post anything.

Okay moving on, I want to give a shout out to all my lovely reviewers. I also want to thank everyone who has put me on their favorite and alert lists! Every one of you who even read my story ROCKS!!!!! YOU PEOPLE ARE AWSOME!!!!!!!!!! Now the show must go on no matter how awesome you girls (and some guys) are so here is chapter twelve.
It had been a week since I had woken up from my surgery and found out Edward loved me. My life was perfect, well as perfect as it could be when you had deadly brain cancer, no hair and a dose of chemotherapy on the way; but it was perfect all the same. I smiled brightly as Edward opened the door with a hand behind his back. In a couple of hours I was going to have my first dose of chemotherapy and while I felt some apprehension about it I wasn't focused on it, at least not when Edward was in the room. I had nicely asked Edward to go get me something to eat so I would have something on my stomach before I had the chemo. I had learned from experience that it was better to eat before than after.
I was expecting Edward to go down to the cafeteria and grab me something but apparently he had other ideas. Smiling Edward told me to close my eyes, and with growing excitement I quickly followed orders. "Okay you can open them." He said softly and I could feel his breath on my cheek. I opened my eyes to see Edward's deep amber eyes staring straight into mine.
I suddenly felt as though all of my breath had been stolen from my lungs and I could hear the heart monitor start to beep a little faster. Slowly Edward leaned in a little farther and lightly pressed his lips to mine. I carefully pressed mine into his; I had learned in the few short days we had been together that it was better to let Edward lead the kiss because I tended to get a little . . . carried away. Regretfully Edward pulled back. "You seem to be getting better at that." I whispered my breathing a bit ragged. Edward beamed at me happy about his accomplishment. "Sooo, what did you bring me to eat?" I asked curiously as my stomach rumbled a bit.
Edward moved his head out of the way and I saw a plain white bag. This, giving me no clue as to where he went, was entirely useless to me. Sitting up in the hospital bed I peeked into the bag. In the bag I saw my favorite food to have right before chemo. I turned to Edward and threw my arms around him. I heard him laugh. "How did you know?" I asked him as I pulled away. He just smiled. "I have my sources."
I stuck my tongue out at him before picking up the Wendy's frosty and salad. I quickly ate my food every now and again throwing a shy glance and smile toward Edward. I felt his hand clasp mine and I looked up to see him looking out of a window with a smile on his face. Finished eating I put the trash back into the bag. Seeing that Edward hadn't noticed that I was done, I lifted up our intertwined hands and lightly kissed the back of his hand. Edward turned his head to look at me.
"I love you." I said softly. Edward face lit up as if the heavens themselves where shinning down on him as he heard me say those words just like every other time I had said them. I would say those words every minute of every day as long as I got to see him smile each time. "I love you, too." He whispered back and I smiled softy.
I was still in shock. How could this wonderful being love me the weak, sick, breakable human? I wasn't going to question him though; if it made him happy to be with me then I would be happy as well. I might not understand it but I would be happy with it. Just then a nurse came in ruining the happy moment. I looked towards her and she announced that it was time for my chemo.
I nodded and swung my legs over the side of the bed. I gripped Edwards hand for support and pushed myself up off the bed. I let the blood rush back into my legs before I started to walk towards the door. Edward went to let go of my hand when we reached the door but I grabbed back on to it. "Oh no you don't." I said. Edward looked at me confused. "I thought you didn't want me to go with you." He said. "Yeah, well, I changed my mind." I said weakly.
I was scared. It wasn't until a couple of hours after the chemo that it got bad but I still wanted Edward there with me. Understanding Edward intertwined our fingers again. Sighing at the feel of his cold hand on my sweaty palm, I continued to walk towards the room where the chemo would be administered. As long as I had Edward everything in my world was perfect.
AUTHORS NOTE: I know it's a little short and there was more to it but it wasn't finished so I cut that off and will use it for next chapter. I just really wanted to get something out before I had to leave. So review, add me to favorites or alert whatever!!! Love ya all!!! Kate =)
