A/N: Let's see. Okay the scenario in here... Totally fake, I know. But get this, you start the game and after not even a day you manage your own store. Totally fake. You're instantly invited into this super-freakin-hot-millionaire's house (gigantic mansion). Fake. You can even become the best boutique manager and stylist after even a week. Fake again. And you can come home to your apartment without paying any bills whatsoever. Faker than fake. So what I'm saying, this scenario, yes is made up, but realistically it is fake just like the rest of the story.

So enjoy! ;)

BTW: I will go over this story again and tweak as well as make it better as my writing has become much better than I started, I think you would know that if you read my other story 'Perspective'. 'Roses Cry' will get finished, that's a promise. But temptation has taken over for this new story. For anyone who is wondering why 'Perspective' hasn't been updated in a while is because I'm still trying to piece it together. It's also a bit difficult as I'm experiencing the exam period where I am at the moment.

{Rosa's POV}

April / 15 / 2010

It's been an our I've waited in the waiting room for. It sure lives up to its name. Throughout that time I've had to put up with sick people and screaming kids. How hard is taming your child anyway? Would Dominic's and my kids end up like that? Hmm... Dominic and i having kids. I've never considered that... Wait! Who said I'm having kids anyway? Anyway, due to the riots in the room, I chose to sit in the corner, away from the diseased. Until...

"Rosa Hurst. is ready to see you." Announced the middle aged woman at the counter.

I smiled and stood up. It felt good, knowing that I was going to see an old friend. It sounded weird hearing him being called Doctor though. But it suited him. Right. What was I here for? To check up on my health and to go on the pill. I realised after our shower sex that condoms were too time consuming. Or we're just too lazy. Either way, I'm going on the pill.

Before I even was a step away from the Doctors Office I heard a welcome, familiar voice. "I know those gentle footsteps anywhere." A wide grin crept over my face.

Happy to hear his welcome I peeped around the door to see him smiling on his office chair. "That's a bit stalkerish, don't you think?" I replied before walking in.

Yes. This is the Lee I remember. Messy brown hair, not pale, but not tanned skin, always smiling, and his eyebrows! Oh my god, his eyebrows! Even though we're not together, I still love his eyebrows. He must have extra muscles in them because whenever he had an expression, say amusement, the one that would perk up would look so strong, and the other would stay down, looking dark and handsome against his hazelnut eyes. Weird, but true. Better not tell Dominic...

Instantly he enveloped me in a tight hug which I gladly returned. It felt so good to see him again! We parted after a moment just to get our bearings. "Well, long time no see." I said.

"For you, it is. I saw you a couple of days ago." His smile faltered a bit, remembering when I had my incident.

"I know."

He had a look of wonder on his expression. "How, may I ask?"

It was my turn to look amused. "You hardly kept your existence from Dominic. One, you told him my real name, which he told me." While we were having sex, for that. "Two, I knew you worked as a Doctor. And three, well, it's common sense!"

He smiled again. When doesn't he though? "Smart as always, Emmy." He said.

I was a little taken aback when he called me that. When we were in high school together, that was what he called me for a nickname when I was called Embrosa. I'll still allow him to call me that, but its a little bit weird, especially after a couple of years...

"So, why do I have the privilege of seeing you today?" He asked.

I chuckled at his poeticness. "For a couple of reasons, probably should do the important one first. I need to know how my health is now."

He sat in his chair, as did I in the patients seat. I wonder what sick dude sat here last. Or ever... Instantly the doctor him came to life. "Yes, well that is important. To do that we're going to do a couple of tests and quick analyses. You prepared?" He asked.

I nodded back, eager to get them done with. "Alright, we're going to need to do a cat scan around your torso area, a blood test," that's gonna hurt a bit... "And a urinal test." That's... Gross...

"You're enjoying this aren't you." I said.

He smirked. "For one thing, I won't enjoy pricking your finger." He said handing me a small, cylinder container. "Inside the toilet room behind me are some pyjamas just change into one for the scan."

"Pyjamas?" I questioned, standing up.

"I forgot what they're called." He replied.

"I wonder how you got your degree..." I said before shutting the toilet door. "And no listening!"

"I wouldn't dream of it." I heard him say through the door.

Now... The irky tests...

I watched as Lee looked at the results over and over on his computer screen. I gave up watching the screen because of the jumbled letters and numbers that made no sense. But that was ten minutes ago. He had a serious look on his face which I guessed was his observing face. He looked to be comparing the three tests I had to endure. I wish I had doctor smarts so I could read them.

He pushed back his seat so he could stand up. I was a bit worried, seeing him do it in such haste. The expression on his face looked a bit... Unnerved... Was that because it was a hard job? "Wait here. I'll be gone for a minute." He said before heading out to reception.

I nodded back. But he didn't see that because he was already out the door. Okay, why the change of mood?

While I was sure he left, I couldn't help but look properly at the computer screen. I looked at the scans of inside of me. Crap! That's actually what you can see inside me! Even though it was grey and black. My heart, my lungs, my stomach... It was all there. Probably next time I get a scan like this, I'll be pregnant! Pregnant? Again, since when are Dominic and I going to have kids? I blushed. I remembered the times at school, and even watching the movie Daddy Day Care, where kids would ask 'how are babies made?'. Well, when we were doing sex education in high school the answer would shut us all up. 'Well kids, it's when a mommy and daddy love each other very much... And have amazing unprotected sex!'

I'm not even kidding. My health teacher said that. It was awkward and everyone stayed quiet for the rest of the lesson.

I saw Lee return to his seat still looking serious. I didn't know how to act then. Usually he's all smiles. The only times I've ever seen him serious was in exam times before we graduated. Good times... "Are you okay?" I asked after a moment.

"I'm just waiting on a call. The results will come then." He said emotionless.

"Okay." I replied.

More silence. God Lee! Your smart, just tell me now and give me my pill for which I haven't asked for! I was startled from my rant as I heard the phone ring.

He picked it up. "Crawford." He said. "Yes I'm just wondering what you make of these results... Yes I thought that... What?... No, that can't be... Right... Okay then, thanks." He hung up and looked up the results one last time before shaking his head.

"Lee?" I said.

He blinked slowly before turning towards me, his face solemn. What's going on?... "It-uh-it just doesn't make any sense." He exclaimed.

"What's going on?" I asked.

I heard a ping come from his computer. "I'll find out." He said giving me a one minute finger.

He read and re read the email that he just received. I didn't bother reading it with him. I felt a bit... Unnerved.

"Wha-no..." I heard him whisper.

"What?!" I asked moving closer to him eager and worrying.

He turned to me, expression, now grave. Oh dear... What?..

"Emmy... I can't even... It was supposed to work!" He slammed a fist on his desk which made me jump back.

"What?..." I asked again. It was all I could manage.

He looked at me, a small trace of tears lining his eyes. He grabbed my wrists and looked at me. "I'm sorry... I'm so sorry, I failed. We were late..." He whispered looking at me.

I was speechless. I've never seen him like this before. "F-failed?"

"Yes... You're-no, you can't be..."

"Tell me." My stomach, felt like it had dropped a million miles away.

He had a million of expressions on his face at once. "We were too late... Yo-you're dying..." He choked.

I felt as if my soul left my body and ran for dear life across the world. I felt like falling to oblivion. I felt... Nothing...

"Dying?"

"Yes. No. Yes." He looked confused, clutching my hands in his own.

I felt as if I was falling apart. "B-but, I feel fine." I tried reasoning.

He sighed out loud as tears started down his cheeks, little did I know I was doing the same thing. "You are... But slowly. I've been told you have a couple of years, three at the most... This condition has never been heard of. There'll be some changes in you. But you just can't!" He brought me into a tight hug.

No... No no no no! This can't be happening! Why? The whole scenario became so overwhelming that I started sobbing. Death? A couple of years? Never been heard of?! What has dad done to me?! Oh my god, what do I do?!

"It's all my fault..." He whispered.

"No. No it's not your fault." I said between sobs. It's my fathers fault...

Oh my god. In a couple of years, I will be wiped from existence... Gone... Only to live underground... Leaving- oh no! Leaving Dominic! He'll crack. What do I say? Do I tell him? He'll be so shattered, I'll never forgive myself. But it's not only Dominic it affects. It's also Grace, Renee, obviously Lee, maybe even Layne and Isaac. How will they all take this?... Ohh!.. I just don't know anymore! I sobbed harder.

The sobbing lasted for a long time. Longer than it should've with other people booked in to see Lee. I put in my all to stop crying. I need time to think, I need to settle and know how to deal with this. But I also know it'll take me forever...

"Are you okay?" Lee asked.

I gave out a half maniacal laugh. "Of course I am. I just found out I'm going to die in, what? Three years."

He shook his head. "I'm sorry. I just meant, do you want me to take you home or something?"

I tried smiling. "No. I need to think, and you've still got other patients. But we will se each other." God! My voice sounded hoarse.

He nodded in agreement. "Is there anything else you needed?" He asked.

Despite the need to leave, I also needed this. "I want to go on the pill."

He gave me a weird look...

A/N: Well... No cliche surprises there :)
