Chapter 32
Eli’s pov
I woke up to see the love of my life laying on my chest.
I don’t know if you heard but that was the best sight to see first thing.
I had my arms still wrapped around him, carefull not to touch my burns.
I smiled down at him.
I know the thought of coming out terrified me but I had gathered from the conversation that we had last night I might lose him if I don’t tell my parents soon. And losing him wasn’t an option.
For now I was just gonna spend this time with him, and ignore how scared I was about my plans for later.
As he started to wake up, I kissed the top of his head, pressing my lips into his skin.
He looked up at me groggily, and crawled closer to my face, hovering his lips from mine.
Suddenly all my senses woke up as I became aware of our position and I connected our lips together.
He kissed back, gasping a bit and running his hand through my hair.
I fought back a moan, And kissed him harder, firmly holding his hips.
I smirked a bit in the kiss and quickly flipped us over, so I was hovering over him.
He looked shock for a quick second but he didn’t have much time to comprehend what I did because I was already attacking his lips again with mine.
He gasped at the kiss but quickly started kissing back. He ran his hands up and down my sides, I melted under the touch.
We pulled away gasping for breaths and pressed our foreheads together.
“Good morning to you too.” He said cutting the silence. I smirked and kissed him quickly on his nose, loving how he blushed.
I got out of bed and stretched.
“I have to go get my bandages changed. I’ll be right back.” I said resent fully.
“Do you have too..” He whined.
“I’ll be back soon don’t worry.” I chucked and walked Out, although I wanted to do nothing more then jump back on the bed with him.
I walked out into the hallway to see my dad in the waiting room.
“Dad? what are you doing here?” I asked shocked, and extremely happy that he hadn’t walked in the room to see me and Carter…
“Hey Eli…” He said softly, which took me even more by suprise. He never talked like that.
“What’s wrong?” I asked cautiously.
“Well…” He started, clearing his throat and patting te seat next to his. I sat down confused.
“So… I got a call… I got a call from my Doctor the other day, well… I have cancer.”
I felt my heart literally stop in my chest.
I wanted to scream and cry and punch something and hug my dad but I just sat there.
I just sat there,
As my world turned upside down.
Chapter 32
Carters pov
When Eli finally walked back in the room he looked tired and sad and mad and so many things inbetween.
“What’s wrong?” I asked alarmed and worried, sitting up.
He was quite.
“Eli, what happened?” I asked more worried. He stripped walking to me.
“My uhh… My dad just told me he has cancer.” He said his voice cracking.
“Oh Eli…” My voice was full of sympathy and I got out of the bed, and ran up to him holding him tightly.
He cried into my shoulder for what seemed like ages, I just held onto him tighter.
“They uhh…” He said his voice cracking. “They are gonna put him into surgery in a week but..” He trailed off. “They won’t be able to do any more because the tumor has already grown too much.” He said. His voice was cold and hard.
I wipped the tears from his face. I had no idea what to say.
“I uhh… I think you should go.” He said pulling away from me.
I felt shock wash over me quickly.
“Why?” I asked confused, knitting my eyebrows together.
“Just leave.” He replied, looking down.
“I don’t think you should be alone right now Eli-” I stepped closer to him but he stepped back again.
“I said go.” The emotionless tone in his voice sent shock waves through my body as I felt my heart start to sink.
He wasn’t really gonna push my away because of his dad was he…?
I sighed and grabbed my phone from the bed side table. He probably just wanted to be wth his family right now, it was okay.
“And I don’t think we should be together anymore.” He finished, my heart breaking in my chest.
“What do you mean by that?” I asked numbly turning to face him.
“I just don’t think it’s a good idea.” He apologized.
“I thought you loved me..” My voice was hurt.
“I do, I just don’t want to lie to him.” He pleaded with me and walked closer to me, reaching for my hands.
I yanked them away as soon as his cold hands touched mine.
“Then don’t.” I whispered, tears running down my face. “Just tell him the truth.”
“You know I can’t do that.” He said his voice cracking.
“Yes you can, I know it’s scary but you can do it.” I said walking closer to him.
“I want him to… I want him to die proud of me.
“I under stand that but-“
“No.”
I nodded, turned around and started walking to the door again. “Bye Eli.”
