A/N: I decided I wanted to begin writing this again, except name change also. Forever and Almost Always :) And writing this chapter actually made me cry D':

A song that inspired this chapter: Forever and Almost Always - Kate Voegele

Chapter Four - (Time Skip = One Month)

Jacob was a month into the chemo., and it was obvious. He was alot weaker than he used to be for starters, I was there for him everytime he vomited, took the tablets and such. Sometimes I caught him crying, saying he couldn't go through with it, and I had to tell him he could, and that he was a fighter. Those were the emotional side effects. I hated the idea of him being alone through this.

In an ordinary fairytale land,
there's a promise of a perfect happy end
And I imagine heaven just sort of that
Its better than nothing

I smiled at those lyrics, they were true in some sense. I took the Kate Voegele CD out, just as Charlie burst into my room with a panic-stricken face. I was suddenly worried.

"Dad?"

"Jake's gone to hospital." He panted.

"Why?" I shot up, like my heart rate did.

"Billy said he'd had a fever all night, and was throwing up a lot-"

"Dad, that's what chemotherapy does."

"No, but then he collapsed."

I gasped. He can't... no, he wouldn't die! He promised me he was going to be okay. I ran downstairs, grabbing my keys and headed out to my truck, with Charlie following. I sped down the road, ignoring Charlie's yells.

"Bella! Slow down, you'll get us killed!" He shouted, "BELLA!"

"What?" I snapped.

He looked at me, shocked. "Slow down." He said a bit calmer. "And stay calm."

I took a deep breath, and eased my foot on the accelerator. But we were at the hospital in no time. I rushed in, asking various nurses and doctors where he was. I was guided to ICU.

I saw Billy in the waiting area, "Billy!" He turned, "Where is he? Is he-"

"Bella, calm-"

We both heard the doors open, our glances faced the nurse who was there. "Is he okay?" I asked.

"The reason Jacob collapsed was because of the weakness and exhaustion from the chemotherapy." She explained.

"And the fever?" I asked.

"You generally get that from Leukemia." She said.

"Can I see him, I mean is he awake or not?" I asked.

"Sure, he's been asking about you actually." She smiled.

I smiled too, he'd asked about me. I followed her into his room, where he was hooked up to all kinds of machinery. Heart monitors and all. He turned his head and instantly smiled,

"Bella." He smiled.

"Hi Jake, how you feeling?" I asked, pulling up a chair.

"Good I guess, I've felt worse."

"Oh." I choked out, "I'm going to have to get used to stuff like this, huh?"

He nodded, "Yeah. With Leukemia you don't get off lightly." He chuckled.

I did too, "No, I guess not." I chuckled. "Just... don't scare me like that, I thought you'd..." I shook my head.

He scoffed, "I can't break our promise." He smiled. "What kind of friend would I be?"

"Well if you do go anywhere, consider us not best friends anymore." I said tearfully.

He chuckled, "I don't give up that easy." I chuckled. He was a fighter.

Sorry for the shortness, will make the chapters longer, promise:) x
