Picture Perfect

Part 8

Jade's POV

I sat in the hospital bed as the pain subsided. Calming myself down as the door banged open.

"Please Jade, no more lies." Calum said almost breaking.

For a fact I never wanted anyone to know. They will just pity me and I don't want that. I don't want him to know because it'll just tear him apart andI can't handle that.

"Sit down." I said to him.

He ran his fingers through his hair and sat by the bed. I reached for his hand holding it tight.

"The truth... the truth is..." I trailed off.

He held my hand tighter urging me to go on. I took a deep breath and looked down, I couldn't even face him.

"I have... I have cancer. Stage two leukemia. I am not anemic anymore Cal. I gotten worse. I didn't want you to know this because it'll just hurt you knowing that in an indefinite time... I could... I could... di-" he cut me off.

He cut me off crashing his lips onto mine. Kissing back I felt his pain as he brushed his lips against mine. Warm tears fell on my cheeks and he pushed them away when we pulled back.

"Shut up. Just shut up okay." He said cupping my face crying.

I nodded in response.

"We're getting out of this shit together. We're gonna make all our dreams come true." He cried.

I didn't answer and cried as well. He placed his head against mine before whispering.

"We are getting out of this shit together no matter what the odds are. And uou should probably know this."

I looked up to meet his eyes. He looked at me and said.

"I love you."
