Chapter 25

I took him to the sandy beach. We both sat down on a hot grains of sand.

"I wanted to tell you.. About something." He said. "Welp, go." I anxiously said.

"Well. You know how you ... cut?" He asked with shimmering eyes. "Oh.. yeah." I

whispered. "Well, I a , I do too." He spoke. I kindly touched his shoulder. "Why ?" 

"Its complicated.. I have something. A disease." He gasped. "That doesn't matter,

cause you are perfect the way -" I stopped. "I have cancer." He moaned. "Wait what! No,

Eli. I am.. so sorry. Eli, no. Are you okay?" I teared. "I am 4 months into cemo." He

said. "Oh my gosh." I gasped. "Its not all that bad.. I mean, at least I get treated right

from the hospital." He said worried. "No, it is never good." I told him.

I looked around the atmosphere. And I liked him? I still do. Even if he has cancer.

Even if he might die. I love him. I , can't see him leave me. After Eli left around 10:00am, 

I went back to my hotel, and sat. I sat for minutes, hours. I couldn't believe myself.

I would be there for him no matter what. Whatever he needs. I like him.. I mean.

I was heartbroken that day.. sitting in my bed. Listening to sad music watching sad

movies. I texted him finally at 2:00pm saying, "Look, whatever you need.. I am here

for you. Okay?" He didn't reply for over an hour. As worried as I was, I didn't say 

anything else. I kept my phone nearby, wondering when he would text back.

8:00pm, I hear my phone buzz. "I am okay." I let out a belt of fresh air.

I didn't text back, because of course he would think I was at my phone the whole

time waiting for a text. That is just creepy. I went to sleep after the text.

The next morning would hopefully be better, knowing Eli is alright.

I'm alright.
