Year 2008

In this story Jojo or Lina don't exist.

My boyfriend and I have been together for three years now he's just joined CFL and my engineering course is going as planned, life was good at least that's what I thought!!

Until one evening, he came home late looking defeated and all cried out.

"Joe are you ok??" I ran to him as he slid down on the door until he was fully sat down now full on crying.

"Babe are you OK??" He cried some more as I held onto him closely as he cried hurtfully.

"We are f*cked... We are f*cked Baby...." He said sobbing loudly a sound that broke my heart.

"What happened?"

"I have not been feeling well for some time now, I decided to go get checked up and I just found out that I have leukemia

That left me speechless, tears cascaded my face lowly as well.

"And....And as if that wasn't enough, the CFL have released me, I don't know what to do I have no job and I need money to treat this disease, I need money to pay for our bills here and for food!!! What am I gonna do??"

The world came crumbling down for us. Joe was a good guy, a kind one, an intelligent one and most especially a loving one, he didn't deserve this. Nobody did, he really worked hard to be where he was, this was unfair.

Year 2009

Everything has been hard for us since he lost his job, we were now relying on my part time job at one of our local cafés here at Tampa.

It's what put food on our table. The savings he had, all went to his medical bills and on the brighter side he was in remission so that wasn't too bad. My engineering course was still going on so I had to make time for both my studies and job and it was difficult. I was finding it difficult to support us and especially him.

One Saturday, my parents asked me to go see them according to them, they wanted to talk to me about something, it sounded serious and I was hoping they were OK.

I drove for three hours to Miami, that's where we resided at and parked at our parking lot as my mom came out and embraced me first followed by my dad who gave me a literal bearhug that I thought was gonna break my bones.

We got in the house and sat at the breakfast bar as mum served us coffee.

"Y/n how are you sweetheart, how have you been doing especially now that Joe lost his job."

"Everything has been difficult, Joe has gone into depression, he doesn't care about his health anymore, and I have a job that I have to juggle with my studies so that we don't go hungry" I said as I finally broke down Infront of my parents who were at both of my sides comforting me.

"That's exactly what we called you here about, we know you love him so much, but love isn't always enough, you've done so much for that boy, you've almost sacrificed your studies for him, you even feed him. I'm not saying that's bad but there's a limit to everything, your relationship is now becoming toxic and I feel like you should just call it off with him so that you can concentrate on your studies and upcoming final exams. We paid tonnes of money so that you could follow that field. The boys are a lot you can always get another one that doesn't have a baggage, no disrespect to Joe, you know I love that kid and I respect him for how he always treated you like a queen especially when he had money and a job but now it'll also be good for him to go and focus on his mental health and how to get back his life in order."

"No dad, noo... I can't end it with Joe, I love him he means the world to me, he helped me a lot, he helped pay for my studies, he gave me everything, I can't leave him now that he doesn't have anything that would be bad on my part. I'll break his heart and I don't want that."
