Aiko

"How far in is she?" I asked walking into Benji's hospital room. She was in a chemo session, and she hated when we visited, which we always did, because she thought she was 'ugly' or something. Liv was holding Benji's hand. "She started a few minutes ago." She called. Benji looked up at me with a sad, grateful smile. When I examined the room, I saw everyone was already here.

Benji coughed briefly. "Sorry guys…" Her voice was weak, and I could just die of sadness. "There's no reason to be sorry." Hikaru stated. Benji chuckled. "Yeah well…" She was cut off by a spew of vomit. I chewed the inside of my cheek.

A bitter sweet smile hit everyone when Kyouya grabbed her hair gently.

"Look at me. I'm a mess." She laughed bitterly.

How did it get like this?

OoO

Liv

I can't believe how far we've fallen…

The memories of last summer, and Prom, and just…everything came back to me. How likely was this? I shook my head. What did she do to deserve this? These thoughts led me to wonder if this was truly the end. It couldn't be…This was Benji we're talking about. She's tough. This could not be where it ends.

My hands began to sweat in Tarzan's. Maybe I'm not so sure. It scares me to think how close to death she is right now. I honestly wish I could trade places with her. She doesn't deserve to go out this way.

"You had pasta for lunch?" Kaoru teased, looking into the barf bucket. She elbowed him with a grin. "You're revolting." Benji laughed. I love how she can act so normal, considering circumstance.

Tamaki stood from his white plastic chair. "I'm going to the cafeteria. Does anyone want anything?" He yawned. We're all pretty tired…

I fake gasped. "Tamaki? You're using a hospital vending machine?" Benji and Haruhi snickered, while Tamaki waved goodbye, ignoring the comment.

Kyouya continued to stroke her hair. He visibly died inside when hair fell out in clumps as he did so. This seemed to be hurting him the most, and we all knew it.

"Guys...I love you but can I talk to the twins alone?" Benji whispered. This shocked everyone. With shrugs, we filed out of the room. Kyouya looked pissed.

OoO

Benji

"What is it?" The two asked in unison.

I smiled at them, widely. They raised their eyebrows. "So…Aiko and Lucki." I stated simply. They rolled their eyes. "Not this again." Hikaru groaned.

I laughed briefly. "You know I'm happy for you guys right?" My smile however sympathetic, was wide and extremely strained.

They both smiled sadly at me. "Don't do that!" I laughed. "I'm totally fine. Just listen to what I have to say without the sadness, okay?" It came out louder than I'd planned. Kaoru nodded. Hikaru just raised his eyebrows again. They shifted in their seats.

"Okay Kaoru, you first." I shifted to face him. "Aiko. She's a sweet, nice girl. But you've gotta know that she's not the most emotionally stable person out there. There are a lot of moments where you're going to say the wrong thing and I wouldn't doubt that she'd get super offended. But just say I'm sorry, and things like that, okay?" I smiled slightly. His eyebrows were furrowed. "Why are you telling me this?" He whispered.

A shaky sigh escaped my mouth. I knew I'd have to say it sooner or later. "Because…Look, I was talking to Haruhi and she said that she didn't know whether you two had sex or not on Prom night and virgins are more likely to get pregnant than anyone else!" I yelled as quickly as my tongue would let me. He just stared at me in shock. I sighed again and shifted to face Hikaru.

"Now you…"

He gulped. I smiled again. "Just take care of her. She's a really special person Hikaru. You deserve each other." My eyes were sad and I knew it.

"Why are you telling me this?" Hikaru smiled. I shrugged. "It needs to be said."

We looked at each other for a brief moment before they attacked me in a long hug. We were laughing hysterically. "I love you, man!" I chuckled. They both laughed harder into my shoulder. It was then when I realized that we were all crying. I had cancer, I practically just said a hinted goodbye to them, and now we're crying. My life is becoming a sad movie.

Our moment was interrupted by the door slamming open and Hunny jumping in on the hug. I was suddenly sadder when I heard his child-like cries. "It's okay Hunny." I sobbed. "Lennon…" Was all he cried.

I looked up to see everyone staring at us. Everyone was holding their heads down. Liv couldn't say anything, though I know she wanted to scream. When we were four, we promised to grow old and live in our big houses and have our gorgeous husbands in Hawaii. Later, we added Haruhi into the equation. We were gonna grow old and die together, the three of us. It made us all want to scream that I'd be going first.

The three let me go ruefully. "I can't believe this is it." Liv whipped her make-up with her thumb. Haruhi was silently clenching her fists violently to her sides. Tamaki covered his face with his hair. Kyouya walked away angrily.

"He really shouldn't do that." I sighed dreadfully, getting slowly to my feet. "Benji, get back into the bed." Tarzan ordered. "No." I stated, simply leaving the room.

"Miss Rowland, please return to your room." Dr. Norris 'suggested'. I kept walking. A bitchy nurse stood in front of me. "Get back into your room." She spat. I walked around her. "Eat me." I stated simply.

Kyouya sat, brooding in front of the hospital. "Hey." My voice cracked. He turned to face me in shock. "What the hell's your problem? Get back into bed!" He yelled, standing. I winked at him. "I knew that was your goal."

He stopped to turn slightly pink. Then, he smiled for the first time that day. It had become my daily job in all of this to make him smile. If he didn't smile once a day, then I'd fail. So far, I'm doing a pretty exceptional job.

He took my hand and we walked back into the hospital. "You know, you're a real piece of work." He was grinning. "So I've been told." I chuckled. We got stares and glares from the nurses as we walked back into the room.

Everyone greeted us. "Now that your stupid deed of the day is done…" Haruhi smirked. The group all laughed. Lucki smiled with raised eyebrows at me. "What?" I grinned.

"And you thought I was the careless one Benji?" She laughed. We all started to crack up. It was sick and horrific that we could laugh at things such as previous attempts of suicide, but it was just something we did.

OoO

About an hour had gone by, and we were talking and laughing. It was like everything, yet nothing had happened.

"No, I'm not gonna start ranting." Haruhi laughed. We were talking about things that really make us mad. Haruhi said Benny's, and we asked why.

Everyone started to laugh. "Oh come on, you've gotta love those sandals and flip-flops." Liv teased. Haruhi clapped her hands together with a loud cackle.

"Miss Rowland." Dr. Norris poked his head through the door. I looked up with a small smile. "I have a matter to discuss with you…In private." He looked at everyone nervously. They got the hint and shuffled out.

I smiled at him as a signal to speak.

He began to smile widely. "We have a match."

All I could think about was the wave of relief. If there was a chance that I'd live…Well, I hadn't even thought of the possibility. I simply thought I'd die. The fact that I could actually live…It made me overload on the emotions.

"What?" I gasped.

Dr. Norris nodded. "We found a match for your bone marrow." He grinned at me. I took his hand. "If this works, I will give you everything in my name." I laughed. "There's no need. You're life's more value to the world." He winked.

"So…Who's the match?" I wiped a fallen tear.

He pulled a paper from his pocket and began to unfold it. I grabbed it eagerly. "Lucki Ardene."

I smiled, groaned, slapped my forehead, and then smiled again. Lucky for me, huh?

OoO

:]

I have nothing to say except….

HOLLER!

I am so excited, you have NO idea.

Oh, and happy summer guys. :D Who's pumped? ME!

Okay, so that's it for this bit of nonsense.

I'm ~*AAWAFDD*~ and I remember so you don't have to!
