"David, is any of this even possible?" I ask grabbing a snack from the pantry.
"What?"
"Dom can't be this sick. It's not possible. There are no records of this illness I checked!" I cried
"Hailey it's-"
"3 months?! No it's not right"
"Hailey, I'm sorry...I should have told you" he sighed
I looked down at The granola bar in my hand. I couldn't stare into David's eyes without crying.
"When the three months are up-" he began "-promise me you won't kill yourself"
My hands were shaking. The words "kill yourself" made my stomach turn.
"I can't promise you that." I blinked letting a tear fall.
David turned his back and looked out the window.
"So about this illness" I chocked "Can we save him?"
David shook his head which made me feel weak.
"So where is Dom?" I asked trying to hold back my tears.
"Doctors" David mumbled.
I could hear pain in his voice. I regretted telling him I was going to kill myself.
But someone needed to know.
"I'm sorry." I said slowly.
David turned around and walked towards me, giving me another hug.
"Later today, we are having some friends over." David cried
"Like who?" I said trying not to cry.
"Liza, Gabbie, Heath, Zane, Scotty, Toddy, Jason, Josh." David whispered into my ear
I tried to tell myself how cool it would be to meet Josh so I wouldn't cry.
David let go of me after 3 minutes.
"I'll order a pizza" I heard Alex say from his bedroom.
My phone buzzed. I looked at it from my pocket.
"4 missed calls from Liza❤️"
"19 unread text from Liza❤️"
"2 voicemails from Liza❤️"
Something told me I needed to call Liza.
"I'll be right back" I said walking towards the balcony.
I shut the door and sat down to call Liza.
"Liza?" I asked immediately
"Hailey did you see Dom's new video on his channel?" She asked
"N-No." I mumbled
"You need to see it!" She cried
I hung up the phone and walked inside.
"What was that all about?" Alex asked while I walked over to Dom's computer.
I didn't answer, I turned on Dom's computer and typed in "Durte Dom/YouTube"
"Hailey?"
"Sh!" I whispered
I clicked on Dom's recent video titled "i almost died..."
"Almost?" I said out loud
The thumbnail was of Dom in an unknown room, and pictures of the broken door, doctors, and weed.
David and Alex walked behind me to watch the video.
"Hey guys it's me Dom, i have a serious topic to talk about today." He began
My eyes widened.
"So recently I was diagnosed with a disease that would have killed me in 7 months" he paused "It was from all the weed and Drugs"
I looked at David who seemed worried.
"But then I suffered a heart attack that limited my time on earth-to live-to 3 months..." Dom frowned
I shook my head. This is fake, there is no way he posted this. My mind is playing tricks on me.
"But I just got back from the doctors office-" he froze "-they said they may have found a cure..."
I paused the video.
"Somebody call Dom. Right. Now." I said breathing heavily
David picked up his phone and dialed Dom's number.
I knew Dom answered when his eyes widened immediately.
"Dom! What the hell is this on your channel?" David yelled into the phone
I looked at Alex who looked at David, angered.
"Why didn't you tell us first!?" David yelled into the phone.
I rubbed my eyes. Maybe Dom didn't care enough to tell us first. Maybe I meant nothing to him.
"Dom come home right now." David cried.
He hung up his phone. He looked at me with a straight face.
"They may have found a cure." He said looking at Alex now.
I couldn't focus. I was so happy, but upset.
Did I mean nothing to Dom?
