Chapter 18 (Sophie's POV)
A/N: Sorry about how short this is. I gave you answers though, didn't I? Also, I got the idea of Sophie's... condition from another fanfic I read on Quotev. I am not stealing the idea, mine is very different from the idea that they used.
"It looks like you have throat cancer." Elwin says, sounding very sorry. I choke back tears. "Cancer?" I ask. "Yes." He nods. "Can… Can I tell my soulmate?" I ask, hoping he says yes. He sighs. "If you must." I nod and pull out my phone to call Keefe.
It only rings once before he picks up. "Hey." He says, sounding eager, but also worried. "I have throat cancer." I tell him. I hear him let out a sob on the other side of the line. "Are you ok?" He asks. "Yeah." I tell him. "But I could be better."
"I told our friends that you were in the hospital." He says. "Thanks." I whisper. "Talk to you later." I say, assuring him that I will be ok. He hangs up, and I turn to Elwin. "Do I have to stay here?" He nods. I sigh. "Can my friends visit?" He looks thoughtful about it for a minute, then tells me, "Yes."
"You have some visitors." Elwin tells me. He opens the door and Grady and Edaline burst in.
