Alright guys big thanks to Noxy the Proxy for reviewing
It's been two months.
I've been on meds for my dizziness, but Caterina refuses to send me out until I'm off the meds, but Abel keeps my mind off it.
With a sigh, I decided to take a walk with Leon in the city, get away from the Vatican for a little bit.
"What's on you mind Lilly?"
"Do you know why I'm on these pills?"
"Not really."
"Because my hormones are out of whack."
"Great."
"I'm tired of being like this Leon. I'm tired all the time, I can't think strait, I feel like I'm losing it."
"Then stop taking it."
"Huh?"
"Stop taking the medicine."
I sat down next to a fountain, thinking about it, nodding at Leon, grinning I convinced him to go shopping with me. With a smile we came up with a plan.
Walking back o the Vatican, I wondered up to my room. Knowing that Leon was going to do his part of the plan.
Walking into my bathroom I changed into the lingerie we had bought earlier.
Stepping back into the room, I walked over to a window to see Leon doing his part by telling Abel something was wrong with me. Seeing Abel panic and run in side. Laughing I lay down on my bed, rolling on my side away from the door. Next thing I knew Abel burst threw my door, then silently closed it behind him. I felt him sit next to me on the bed, and placed a hand on my exposed hip.
"Lilly? What's wrong?"
I sighed and turned to look at him, taking note of the slight look of lust in his eyes.
"I don't want to be on those pills anymore."
He sighed as I sat up. Kissing him softly I smiled when he kissed back. Slowly our kiss became more passionate. Lightly pulling on his robes, Abel pulled back looking unsure. Sighing I looked at him.
"If you don't want this, than we can stop."
I said motioning to my body, I was ready but he apparently wasn't. Sighing I stood up and pulled on a long shirt.
"We'll wait Abel, ok? I can handle having dizzy spells."
He smiled and thanked me.
Deciding to go talk to the doctor, Abel waited for me to get dressed, keeping me steady when I had a dizzy spell. Making our way down the hall I clung to Abel's arm for support. Passing Leon he gave me a curious look and I just shook his my head, he sighed and smiled at me.
Finally we were able to see the doctor sitting down on the bench I sighed as the doctor smiled at us.
"Please take me off these pills. I can't stand being like this anymore."
"Alright Miss Lilly. You know what will happen without them yes?"
"Yes I do."
He smiled, as he took some of my blood to make sure my levels were ok.
Looking at Abel I could tell he was thinking hard about something.
"What's wrong?"
"Just thinking."
"About what?"
Abel laughed and shook his head.
Finally the doctor walked in with a blank face.
"Miss Lilly. We have a problem."
I looked up at him, grabbing Abel's hand, I prepared for the worst.
Taking a seat in front of us he took my other hand.
"Remember the disease from your era?"
I closed my eyes, I could already feel my eyes tearing up, nodding my head.
"I'm afraid, you've caught it."
Looking up I could see the pity in his eyes.
"How?"
"We really don't know. We think that when you arrived here Rose may have scratched you by accident. Giving you the disease."
Feeling Abel squeeze my hand, I sighed and closed my eyes again.
"How long do I have?"
"A month, maybe two. It really depends on how far along it is."
Shaking my head, I stood up and took off, running as fast as my legs could carry me.
Getting out of the Vatican I could hear Abel yelling after me, but I wasn't going to stop.
Finally my legs gave out and I stopped realizing I had gotten myself lost, and that it was getting dark, spotting a pub I walked in, receiving looks from the locals. Sitting at the bar the bartender smiled at me. I was a bit surprised to see a young woman behind the bar but I sighed and looked at her.
"I'll take the strongest drink you have."
"Rough day hun?"
I sighed as she pored me a drink, reaching for my wallet, she shook her head.
"This ones on the house."
I smiled as I took a sip of the drink.
"It's good, thank you."
"Now, what brings you to my pub?"
"I just found out I have maybe two months to live, my boyfriend doesn't want to sleep with me, and I'm lost."
She laughed at me. Walking over to a guy at the end of the bar. Smiling to myself I swallowed some more of the strong, fruit flavored drink. Walking back over to me the bartender smiled at me.
"I tell ya what, I can tell you're a sweet girl, how about you help me lock up when I close and I'll let you stay in the spare room I have. You'll get lost in the dark."
I smiled and thanked her.
"If my friends don't come looking for me, I will take you up on that offer."
She smiled and went about her business. Finally the door to the pub opened and Abel walked in looking distressed, spotting me at the bar he quickly walked over to me and sat down next to me.
"What were you thinking?"
"I needed to get away from everyone for a bit, think things threw."
Abel pulled me into a hug making some of the people around us chuckle.
"Don't ever do that again."
I sighed as he rested his chin on my head.
"I'll be dead in a month, what's it matter?"
"It matters because I love you."
Pulling back I stared up at him in shock.
"You love me?"
"I do."
"I love you too Abel."
We smiled at each other, the bartender walking over, taking my now empty drink off the bar, smiling at us she nodded in approval. After sitting around and talking we decided to head back to the Vatican.
When we were about half way there, my stomach became upset, causing me to stop every couple of minutes and empty what was left in it. As soon as that was over I felt a sharp pain run up my spine.
Screaming in pain, Abel knelt down, picked me up, and ran the rest of the way, telling me everything was going to be ok.
Finally after what felt like hours we arrived at the Vatican, rushing through, Abel ran to the hospital. Yelling for the doctor, they immediately sent me in to do an MRI. Hooking me to an IV that let morphine drip into my system, forcing me to relax.
Laying in the hospital bed I realized that Leon, Ester, Ion, and Caterina had showed up. Taking a deep breathe I let out a sigh. After a few minutes the doctor came back in, a grim look on his face.
"Miss Lilly. I'm afraid the disease is moving faster than we thought it would."
I held up a hand to make him stop, everyone was starting to cry as the unspoken truth was realized.
Looking around I smiled at everyone in turn. Finally my eyes settled on Abel, who was sitting at my bed side, his head bowed, but the light shaking of his shoulders old me he was crying as well.
"Can everyone give us a minute. Please?"
Slowly everyone left. Grabbing Abel's hand I made him look at me. Smiling at him, I slid my hand into his hair, forcing him down to my level. Pressing my lips against his, he kissed me back, our tears making our faces wet and cold.
Pulling back, I noticed how weak I felt. Abel quickly called everyone back in.
Laying back I smiled at him.
"I love you Abel, don't forget that. I always have since that day I woke up in the hospital."
Turning my head I smiled and thanked everyone for being good friends to me.
Slowly I closed my eyes and my breathing slowed, looking up one more time, the last thing I saw was Abel. Closing my eyes again, I felt like my spirit was being lifted from my body, and then I felt absolutely nothing.
THE END
Oh my Lord!
That's the end!
Yes I was crying while I wrote the ending.
Anyway thank you so much for reading!
I hope you enjoyed it!
