About four hours after they had fallen asleep in each other's arms Sean woke up. He tried his best not to make big movements so he wouldn't wake Emma but that didn't work. She woke up a few minutes after he did.

"Sorry Em. Did I wake you?" Sean said. "No. But Sean-" Emma started to say but was interrupted by Ellie coming in the door. Emma quickly got off of the bed. "Sean I will talk to you later okay?" Emma said trying not to make eye contact with Ellie. "Bye Em." Sean said as she exited his room.

It was very awkward for both Ellie and Sean. Sean had just been seen with Emma sleeping in his bed. And Ellie didn't know what to think. Maybe they really were broken up for good.

"Ellie." Sean said. "Sean I shouldn't have came." "No I'm glad you did. I need to tell you a few things. But don't get mad. Promise?" "Sure I guess." Ellie said. "No I am serious. Ellie you have to promise me you won't cut. The reason I kept this whole sickness thing from you was because I wanted to protect you. Now we may not be together anymore but I do care about you. I don't want you to hurt yourself over this. Over me." Sean said. "So we are over for good then? Yeah I kind of figured that. I am sorry about the other day though. The whole me fighting Emma and making up things situation was kind of bad. I'm sorry I put you in the middle of it. But why are you here? Jay told me I had to ask you. He wanted you to be the one who told me." "Well I have Leukemia Ellie. Right now I am fine but I'm not so sure about the near future. And you have to understand that I love Emma. Ellie I don't think I ever got over her. But if you are going to start thinking that I only went out with you to get back at her or something don't think it. It's not true. I went out with you because I wanted too. We have so much fun together and a lot in common but we were more like brother and sister than girlfriend and boyfriend. Please say you understand?" Sean asked. He was really hoping she would because he didn't need to be under stress. "I understand sort of but what I don't understand is why you told me you loved me back in Wasaga. Love is a strong word and you shouldn't say it if you don't mean it Sean." Ellie said getting a little mad. "I know Ellie and I'm sorry. It's just I came back to Toronto for Emma. She was all I could think about in Wasaga. But then Jay dragged me to meet you and Alex at the mall with him. I mean we got reacquainted with each other and we started to connect again. I knew Emma wouldn't take me back so I figured why not go back with you? I mean we were good together Ellie. I hope you're not mad." "No I'm not mad. I know that you and Emma have a huge past together and I guess instead of making you hate each other it made you stronger. And I don't want to be the person standing in the way of your relationship with her. But Sean, before I go know one thing." Ellie started. "Yes?" "I will always love you no matter what. Now I know you don't feel the same anymore or maybe you never did but that's not the point. Just know that I will always love you." Then she kissed his forehead and left.

A few hours later some of Sean's friends came by to visit him. Sean was even surprised when he heard who was in the waiting room. Some of these people were never friends with Sean or at times they were but then things got messed up and they hated each other. Either way he was happy that people actually cared about him. It was a lot more than he thought. One by one each person came into his room to talk for about five minutes.

Alex was the first to come into his room. She didn't look like her normal self. She didn't have on boy like clothes and she wasn't chewing her gum in that annoying way. If Sean wasn't mistaken he could have sworn she was wearing a skirt. Now Alex in a skirt? He must have missed a lot in the few days he had been in the hospital so far.

"Cameron what's up?" Alex asked. "Nothing really. Bored of this room." Sean said laughing a little. "What's so funny?" Alex asked. "You are. Alex you do realize you are in a skirt right?" Sean asked still laughing. "Haha very funny Cameron. But yeah I do realize I am in a skirt. Paige lent it to me. A lot has happened you know. Practically everyone out in the waiting room is friends. It's kind of scary. I mean Jay and Paige are friends. Who would have guessed?" Alex said laughing. "I guess I have missed a lot then. Why is everyone all of a sudden friends though?" Sean asked confused on why his "gangster" friends were now friends with people he was never friends with and people he used to hang around. "Well the truth is after we heard you were in the hospital and found out why Paige organized something to raise money for cancer stricken people like you and I don't know. We just all became friends like that I guess. But that is something I would never have thought Paige would do." Alex said laughing a little. "Yeah true." "Well I'm going to go. There are so many people out there for you Sean. Wouldn't want to keep them all waiting."

Next came in JT, Toby, and Manny. Sean was a little surprised because the last time he saw all of them together they were in grade seven. After that Manny got all "hot" and JT became cool while Toby stayed his same old self.

"Hey Sean." They all said in unison. "Hey guys. What's been going on? I hear everyone out there is friends. That means you Toby are friends with Jay your ex tormentor?" Sean said laughing a little. "Yeah who would have thought?" Toby said. "So Sean how are you holding up?" JT asked. "I'm good. I could be better. I want to get out of this hell hole so bad but they said they need me to stay a few more weeks. They told me a week before and now it's a few more." Sean said sounding kind of bummed out. "That sucks. Have you talked to Emma yet?" Manny finally spoke. "Yeah she was here earlier. Everything between she and I is settled. We both basically admitted we love each other still after all of these years. But Ellie came in while she was sleeping in my bed. Well we actually just woke up but she still saw us. I think Emma might have gotten the wrong idea. Do you think you could talk to her or something for me?" Sean asked Manny. "Sure no problem Sean." Manny said. "Well we better go." Toby said. "Yeah you have a lot of visitors out there and I'm sure we aren't on your top five list of people to see." JT said laughing a little. "As always JT has to crack a joke even if it's not funny." Sean said. Then they all said bye and left.

Then Chris and Liberty came in. Liberty broke up with JT because she started to have feelings for Chris. Chris was happy because he liked Liberty too. He asked her out a few days after Sean wound up in the hospital.

"Liberty and Chris?" Sean said surprised. "Don't sound too surprised Slim Shady." Chris said jokingly. "Never thought I'd see the day. But anyway, how are you guys? I know I have never been the nicest person to either of you and I am so sorry for that." "It's not problem man. It's cool." Chris said. "Yeah it's cool. But how are you doing? I mean hospitals give me the creeps but this room is just plain old scary." Liberty said. Then Sean laughed a little. "Yeah I want to get out so bad. When I do we are all going to go out to the Dot and have a big party. Everyone. Spread the word." Sean said. Chris and Liberty just laughed. "Typical Sean. Always wanting a party." Liberty said. "Typical Liberty. Always nagging on me." Sean said with a grin. "But you know you liked it." She said jokingly. "Well Sean, Liberty and I have to go. We have a party for my grandmother tonight. Fun isn't it?" Chris said. "Yeah I would love to be there rather than here but you know how it is. Bye though. See you guys soon." Sean said. Chris and Liberty said their goodbyes and then left.

Next Craig and Ashley came in with Paige. Craig and Ashley were still together. But that was a good thing. They were always meant for each other even after all the break ups and heartbreaks. It was kind of like Sean and Emma.

"Sean are you okay?" Paige asked. She wasn't fully into his room when she asked. "Paige I am fine. Actually I want to thank you." "Oh? For what?" Paige asked looking confused. "Yeah for what?" Ashley and Craig both said in unison. "Alex told me that everyone out there is friends now and it's basically because once you heard about me being in here and why you organized something to raise money for people like me. That means a lot to me Paige especially from you. I mean we were never friends and yet you still did that. That means so much." Sean said. Paige smiled and went over to Sean and hugged him then looked at the clock in his room. "Oh dear. I have to go. I know I just got here but I have to go help Dylan with something. I will come back and visit soon. We all will. Bye Sean. Bye Craig. Bye Ash." Paige said then left. Now it was just Sean, Craig, and Ash in his room.

"So you guys are still together huh?" Sean said randomly. "Yeah we are. I heard about you and Emma too. Congratulations. I mean I know Ellie is my friend and everything but I liked you better with Emma. You were so much nicer." Ashley said. "I know. But I don't think she believes me that I am sorry though." Sean said sounding kind of upset. "No she does don't worry." Ashley said. "Yeah so Sean when are you getting out of this place? I remember the last time I was here it was for Jimmy." Craig said. "Yeah I heard about that. Is he okay? And I don't know when I am getting out of this place. Soon I hope." "Well you can ask Jimmy now. He is here. Ash and I have to go to her moms for dinner. We will talk to you later on buddy. Bye." Craig said. "Bye Sean. Nice seeing you." Ashley said then they walked out the exit.

Then Jimmy and Hazel came in. These were two people he never would have thought he would see visiting him. Jimmy rolled into his room in a wheelchair. Sean felt kind of bad for him at first but then realized that he had a huge smile on his face. Jimmy plus a wheelchair equaled no NBA but yet he was still smiling.

"Jimmy long time no see. And Hazel it's nice to see you as well." Sean said. "Same Sean." Hazel said. "So how are you holding up?" Sean asked Jimmy. "What? The wheelchair. I like to think of it as an obstacle. Something I have to overcome not something that is going to stop me from doing what I want to do. I can actually play basketball. Well wheelchair basketball but it's still basketball." Jimmy said. "That's cool. But me, I don't think I will be playing much of anything." "Why?" Hazel asked. "I don't want to sound like I have no faith in the doctors or anything for keeping me alive but I really think I am going to die. Actually I know I am going too. I just don't know when yet. It doesn't scare me half as much as I know it is going to scare Emma. And I love her so much. I don't want to leave her." Sean said. He looked kind of sad. "Sorry I shouldn't have just ranted on like that. You were in the hospital for being shot and are paralyzed for life. I shouldn't be talking about me thinking I am going to die." Sean said. "No it's alright man. I used to wish that I got shot somewhere that would have killed me and I ranted on too. But it's something everyone does who gets put into a hospital. But you are a strong guy. You won't die. You will fight it." Jimmy said. Sean just smiled. "Well Sean we should get going. You have one more visitor out there and he has been for a really long time." Hazel said. "Bye Sean." Jimmy and Hazel said in unison and then walked out of his room.

The last person left was Jay. Sean's former best friend. What Sean had to tell Jay was important and he had to promise to do it too.

"Cameron what's up?" Jay asked as he walked in the door. "I'm good I guess. You?" Sean asked. "Good." "Cool. Well Jay look this is really important to me. You have to promise me you will do this for me." Sean said sounding serious. "I promise now what is it?" Jay asked. "I know I am going to die soon I just don't know when. But when I do I want you to promise me that you will take care of Emma for me. She means a lot to me man. It's always her who loses me and it's always my fault but I can't help it this time. But Jay promise me please?" Sean said sounding like he was going to cry. "Cameron don't. You aren't going to die okay. So stop with that. You won't die." Jay said sounding kind of angry. "Jay just promise me you will take care of Emma for me when I am gone. She means the world and more to me Jay. And I don't want to go but I know it's going to be my time soon." Sean said. His eyes were filling with tears just thinking about the fact that he was going to die and leave Emma and everyone else behind. "I promise but don't talk about this dying stuff anymore got it?" Sean just nodded. Then Jay said goodbye and left.

About an hour after everyone left Sean's heart monitor went flat. Sean had died. The doctors rushed in and tried over and over again to get a pulse but nothing worked. After a few minutes of trying to get a pulse they finally got one. Sean was now going to be severely monitored because his heart monitor shouldn't have gone flat at this stage of his Leukemia.
