A/N: Oh my gosh! I'm sooo sorry that I haven't updated this story in such a long time. I was so caught up in school and having fun during summer vacation I almost completely forgot about this fic. But don't worry I promised that I would finish it. So here's the new chapter. *whew* feels like I haven't written forever!
Leukemia. She had leukemia. That eight letter word which had no significant meaning to me before was now tearing me apart. It was so unreal. The one person who meant the world to me was … dying. "It can't be …" I whispered. "I've known since summer, and since then I accepted everything, it was almost as if I was prepared to leave this world. Until I met you, Takeru. Kari began to weep again. "I'm so sorry …" Kari kept repeating in between her sobs.
It was me who should have said something, but my confusion and hurt kept me from saying anything. I couldn't believe this was all happening. Suddenly everything made complete and utter sense. Why Kari made me promise not to fall in love with her, why she was absent from school, why she was using her spare time to volunteer in her spare time, for anything that she could help with. But at the same time nothing made sense.
I didn't even notice how thin she had gotten over the past few months. It was my love for her that completely blinded me. I could feel tears hot tears crawling down my face. We both cried together until we got to her house. I spent some time at her house mourning over the situation. When I walked back home I couldn't believe any of this. Why, …. Why the hell does if have to be like this? That night, I couldn't stop thinking about Kari. I prayed for a miracle to happen. It felt as tough my heart was so weak, that I couldn't even breathe.
I cried myself to sleep that night.
A/N: Short, I know. Sorry chapter 12 is written yet so I have some *brainstorming* to do. I'll try to write it and post it up as soon as possible. Ciao!
