I hope you guys are liking the way the story is going and thank you for all the great feedback I wasn't going to update tonight until I read all the reviews and the amazing things you guys have to say about my writing, you all made my night! Thank you so much, I wish I could reply to guests but I can't but thank you anyways and here is the awaited chapter, hope you like it!

Leo made sure that a nurse had arrived at April's door before slipping back into his room, he needed to make sure that she would be okay. He knew that she had a boyfriend but he couldn't shake off the way he felt when he was around her. It was like electricity; the thought that they could both survive the cancer and have a life together excited him.

Half an hour later, April was fine. Leo wanted to go back and see her, so that's exactly what he did. "April?" he asked as he was peeking through her door. Brenna, whom he'd identified as her sister was sitting next to her. April was whispering something to Brenna, a second later she rose and left the room.

"Are you okay?" he asked. April looked at him for a long time, as if deciding what to say. "I'm fine," she said. Leo was thankful that she wasn't in any serious pain, if she was she would tell him, right?

"Listen, there's something that I've been wanting to tell you for a long time; but with everything going on it was just never the right time and I never got around to telling you," he began. Leo looked up at April's face, she looked confused more than anything, so he went on. "I am in love with you April, I have been since I first met you," Leo paused and awaited April's reaction.

Suddenly April rose and gave Leo a long passionate kiss. When they broke apart, there was nothing to be said. Everything had spoken for itself; so Leo got up to leave.

Suddenly Leo felt very dizzy and slipped over his feet and fell to the ground right in front of April. "Leo, Leo, are you okay? Leo!" Leo heard April's calls as if from a distance, suddenly everything was blurry and he was having a hard time keeping consciousness. He wanted so badly to slip into unconsciousness but a thought in the back of his head told him that he might not wake up if he did. So he stayed awake not for himself, but for April.

Nurses rushed into April's room picked him up to take him back to his room so the doctor could see him. April had tears streaming across her face, she thought that Leo wasn't going to be okay, they would never have a life together because one of them would die. The nurses left April crying in her room and as if on cue, Dominic walked in. He was the last person April wanted to see right now, she just wanted Leo to be okay.

"April are you okay?" asked Dominic at the sight of April crying. She shook her head no before Dominic strode across the room to hold her in his arms but April pushed him away, she didn't want to be comforted by Dominic.

"What's wrong?" he asked. April didn't know what to say, she just wanted to focus on Leo right now and Dominic was in the way. "Leo just fainted and I was scared he was going to die," she confessed. "Hendrie? April why have you been talking to him?" April suddenly felt the need to defend Leo, "He's my friend!" she said. "But why? Shouldn't you be talking to me when you're feeling sick or down?" said Dominic. "Why shouldn't I talk to Leo? He's the only one who's been with me through this, after you found out all you've done is visit me for a few minutes every week!" she shouted. It felt so good to say all that to Dominic, she just wanted him out of her life.

"April, I am your boyfriend and you can't just go having other friends that I don't know about!" April was astounded with how Dominic was talking to her. "If that's the way you think things should work, then I don't want you to be my boyfriend, so get out and don't come back," said April with more confidence than she felt. Dominic looked at her for a long time before grabbing his coat and leaving, slamming the door behind him.

April was so overwhelmed with everything that has happened and was suddenly very tired. It felt good to lie back and try to forget everything, forget that she had cancer, that Leo had cancer, and that Dominic even existed. With none of those thoughts in her head she casually drifted away to unconsciousness.

Thank you all for reading I hope you like it and don't worry Dominic isn't gone forever, knowing him he will make a big scene later on.. (hint hint)

Good night everyone!
