Long day at work again. When does it ever change?
I work through endless papers.
I got home earlier today. Elizabeth was still awake when I arrived.
I let myself in and saw her making dinner in the kitchen.
She makes dinner everyday and I don't know why she bother, I rarely eat.
"Edward, dear, dinner is almost ready..." She said in her soothing motherly voice.
"I-" I'm just about to decline when she interrupted me.
"Please eat tonight, dear, I have something to tell you..." She smiled at me, but it didn't quite reach her eyes, I knew something was wrong. I didn't object any further.
I just went upstairs to get changed into something more comfortable, sweatpants and a shirt, aside from the tailored suits I wear everyday.
I went directly to the kitchen, where Liz was preparing plates and such.
I sat down and wait for her. Once she was already seating across me, I asked her. I don't like waiting, I always want hitting the chase.
"What is it?" I asked, a bit harshly. I soften when I saw her worn out brown eyes.
"I'm sick..." She said, smiling sadly. I furrowed my eyebrows.
"But you'll get better right?" I asked her, but she just shrugged.
"I don't know, dear..." She said.
"What is it?"
"Leukemia..." My heart aches then, I hurt for her, I hurt for the woman who watched me grow.
"Will you go through chemo therapy?"
"I don't want to die hurting, Edward..." She says, just then I notice how she looked more exhausted than she usually do.
It's your fault you're too obssessed with your job to even notice... My inner thought says.
I talked to her all night.
I didn't even drink that night.
Sorry for short chapters! But it makes my update faster. I'm lazy for those long ones.
