Chapter 5

"Y-y-you have, y-you. What?" I stuttered trying to make out what she had just told me. It felt like my heart was being shredded into a million pieces at just the thought of her not being here with me.

"Cancer. A brain tumor." She stopped when her voice cracked.

"But, you'll be okay, right? I mean, you have to be okay. You can beat it right?" My voice was tight and I felt an abnormal pressure in my chest.

She didn't answer. She just shook her head.

"Oh, no, no, no. Oh, god no. April? April, there has to be something. There's got to be something we can do. You can't leave me, not already." My voice went from devastated to pleading. I needed her to be alive. She could not leave me. I love her, already, with everything in me, she is everything. All it took was twenty questions. If I didn't have her, I wouldn't have anything. I don't think she even understands how much I need her.

"I'm so sorry, Embry. I didn't want to drag you into my problems like this. I-I didn't call. I'm sorry for that too. It's just… I don't know. It's everything I guess. My mom can't afford the treatments. We cant do anything." She was crying now, but so was I. She turned around in my arms so she was straddling my waist. Throwing her arms around my neck and laying her head into my shoulder. I buried my face into her soft auburn hair and wrapped my arms tightly around her back, never wanting to let go. We both cried and cried until our eyes were dry.

"Embry?" her soft, musical voice was muffled my by shoulder.

"Yeah?" I replied, my voice rough and dry.

"Can we just not think about it too much?" She lifted her head up and looked into my eyes. "I try not to. I'm not gonna give up, I am going to fight with everything in me but I just want to live normally, you know? Especially now, I want to have a relationship that's as normal as possible. What with your thing and my thing, I guess that makes us a pretty bizarre pair, huh?" She said smiling sadly. I tucked a loose strand of hair behind her ear and nodded.

"Okay, but April, I promise you that I will find a way to save you. I don't care what it takes. You. Will. Not. Leave. Me." I said sternly. She looked at me, bit her lip nervously and nodded once. I lowered my head down to hers and put my lips on hers. Our kiss was filled with enough passion to set the forest aflame. When we pulled away, I stared into her endless eyes until she tucked her face back into my shoulder. I played with her hair.

"Oh, and Embry?" She said timidly after several minutes had passed "I-I love you too."

that makes me happy... hippity happy
