Rocket POV

I never wanted this day to come...Tia leaves for the Obia Moon today! I want to go with her but she thought that it would be better if I stayed here on Akillian and even though I was reluctant, I agreed because it was what she wanted. It was a sad goodbye but I promised to call her and she promised to call me whenever she needed me. After that, we locked lips but I never wanted her to go; leave me then, leave Akillian, leave me in the relationship or most of all, leave me for good…forever. When the plane was gone I went back to the Academy as we had training but it wasn't the same without Tia. Mark is a good player too but he can't replace Tia, no one can! It's Tia for crying out loud! I couldn't stop thinking about her, everywhere I looked I kept imagining her there; smiling at me with that gorgeous smile, her emerald eyes looking at me lovingly and her waving at me…I missed her so much! When training was over, I decided to call her as I was going crazy but...she wasnt answering! I kept calling her all over and over again to the middle of the night but still no reply! I was getting worried but then I thought that maybe she was very tired and she was sleeping so I decided to leave it and call her again in the morning and with some luck, she would answer.

The next day after training I decided to call her again but there was still not reply! What was going on? I called her parents and they told me that she was fine but she was tired all the time! But for some reason I didn't believe them! I knew that something was wrong, I could feel it in my gut, but what?

Making a quick and hasty decision, I called Aarch and I told him that I'll miss training for some days as I had decided to go over to the Obia Moon and check for myself that everything was fine. Thankfully, Aarch understood my worries and let me go with ease.

As I was sitting on the plane, I began to wonder about what could be going on. At one point, I thought she was dead but even I knew that if that were the case, her parents would've told me. However, all I could do was sit and pray for the best…

As soon as I landed, I went to the hospital. I asked a doctor the first doctor I seen where was her room was but he wouldn't let me in to see her and that's when I started worrying. Something was wrong…something was really wrong and I still didn't even know what…

Normal POV

Tia's parents were coming out of Tia's room when they saw Rocket, pacing around the hall in worry. They were in complete shock but approached him anyway. He was their daughters boyfriend, they knew they couldn't leave him out for much longer.

"Rocket! What are you doing here?" Tia's mum asked and Rocket immediately looked up and began to approach them when he heard his name being called.

"I was calling all over again but she wasn't answering! What is going on? Don't say nothing is; that she's just tired because I know something is wrong, that's how I knew to come here! But I don't know what so what is going on?" Rocket pleaded with them to tell him. He couldn't take the worry anymore; he had to know.

"Rocket...Tia is..." her mum stopped suddenly; she couldn't tell it.

"She was in coma" Her dad replied and Rocket froze. For a few moments, he couldn't speak.

"Wh…WHAT?" He couldn't believe it…why was he not told this from the start?

"Why didn't you tell me that she..." he stopped when he realized something. "Wait a minute, WAS in coma? You mean that now she is ok?" he asked hopefully. Please God let her be ok…

"Yes...but...she is getting worst…" her Dad informed him while tears began to flow down her mum's eyes. Why did this have to happen to her?

"Getting worse?" Rocket questioned, praying that what he thought Tia's dad meant was anything but true. But sadly…Rocket was indeed right.

"Rocket...only a miracle can save her!" At that moment, Rocket's world stopped. He couldn't believe it…she was going to DIE! His sweet, kind, gentle, feisty white angle would be leaving him…forever. He didn't know what to say or even how to feel but he did know that he wanted to see her and no one was going to stop him so with that in mind, he stormed pass her parents and into her room.

When he entered the room, he saw Tia awake but she was very white and looked very weak. It broke his heart to see her so fragile.

"Hey" she welcomed weakly. She had tried to her best to assure him she was fine (even though she was far from it) but failed miserably.

"Hey," he said but came to a halt as he sat next to her bed and looked at her with nothing but love and concern in his eyes. "Why you didn't tell me?" he asked worriedly. She always talked to him, always. At least that's what he thought.

"I didn't want you to worry! Rocket I'm going to die..." she said and could feel tears welling up in her eyes. She didn't want to go; she didn't want to leave him or anyone else. She loved them all too much; she wasn't ready to leave them yet.

"No you won't Tia! You're going to be ok, everything is going to be ok! You have to be strong and believe in yourself! We'll get through this!" he assired her despite not believing it himself. However, he knew they were screwed if she had already given up but he needed her to be strong and pull through this.

"Promise?" she asked him and Rocket could only nod, not trusting himself to speak as he knew the tears in his eyes would cause his voice to break. He leaned over and kissed her forehead for more reassurance and Tia relaxed a little; knowing that she had him along the bumpy road. Finally, Rocket finally managed to break away.

"Now go back to sleep you are very tired!" he said to her and she nodded.

"ok" she replied before he gave her another light kiss on the forehead.

"I love you" he whispered to her, meaning every word.

"I love you too" she replied, also meaning every word.

Then he kissed her lightly on the lips and went out of the room so she could get some sleep.
A minute after, his phone rang. It was D'Jok looking for news on Tia.

"Hey! Aarch told as that you went to Obia Moon. Is everything alright?"

"No...D'Jok...she will die..." Rocket stammered before breaking down himself as it had only just sunk in. He was going to lose her and there was nothing he could to stop it…
