Enemy or lover ?

Chapter 41:you matter

"Alex... I've told you so many times, I'm not sick" I lied

"I know you are, and you're hiding it" Alex started to raise his voice

"Alex, calm down" I tried to put my hand on his shoulder as he tried to walk away

"No, Alicia, your lying to me and it's a big deal, I care about you and the fact that you are standing right there lying and hiding the fact that you are SICK, is not right. I love you Alicia and I don't know what I will do without you" he yelled

"Alex... I'm not going anywhere. It's just temporarily worse for now, it will be gone in now time" lying and hoping, I wouldn't be able to handle the fact of losing almost every one

"Please tell me the truth" he went up to me and hugged me

"Alex... I, I have leukemia" my eyes started to tear up, I finally told him.

"What!?" He looked at me confused

"I've had it since I was 16, and it got worse. I- I don't know what will happen in the future. I want to enjoy much of my life before it gets more worse than what it is right now" i cupped his facing as he was now standing in front of me. I spoke the truth, what I have is something I didn't want many to know, the doctors caught it early, but I had gotten worse probably from when I just stopped caring for myself.

He looked at me upset

"I..." he looked closed his eyes as if he were hurt

"You have leukemia? You hid this from everyone? Why?" He looked like he wanted to cry

"There's more things to worry about, not me. I hate attention, my mom gave me too much of that before she left and we've had way more problems why would I interrupt any of the things occurring for me..." I hate this, I didn't want to look at him in the eyes, he would somehow make me feel bad for him and regret the idea of not telling him, but then again I hate seeing him hurt" I don't really matter " I look up at him

"Don't ever say that. You matter to me, you matter to everyone inside that house. You are special, one of a kind. You matter Alicia!" He hugged me again, he put his hands on my face rubbing by cheeks with his thumb as he brought our foreheads together

"My life is incomplete without you Alicia " our lips were a few inches away, close enough that they almost touched

"I love you" he said as he leaned in, finally our lips meeting, resulting to a passionate kiss

"I love you" I replied during the kiss we were sharing , he smiled making me smile back

If alex knew I guess it were right to tell everyone else, I told them casually. Yes they were surprised and concerned, but I told them to not bring it up again, since I didn't want them to change the way they saw me. Yes it was hard but also released some weight off my shoulders. Weeks went by and everyone was treating me like a baby, well as if I were to die at that point, this is exactly why I didn't want tell anyone.

School was as usual. I thought it was going to be overwhelming, but I'm very passionate about my major and future. I didn't get to enter this school year with both of my parents, but at least I still have Carlos. He's stuck with me through every hardship. Alex and I are talking I guess... more than friends. It's funny how he was tasked to kill me, and now we are almost dating again, I think. He's been really really suspicious these days, which doesn't surprise me.

"Hey, have you seen my pho- one" my heart dropped as I walked into my apartment, seeing the same person who has been chasing me and making my life a living hell

"Hey mamas, you missed me?"
