Mara

I finally pull way, leaning my forehead against his as I whisper three words that have never been so true.

"I love you"

He wraps his arms tightly around me and puts me into an embrace.

"I love you too." He whispers, nuzzling his nose in my hair. "So, so much."

Dylan

I mean every word I say toMara.

She is my absolute world. I don't know what I'd be doing if I never met her. And I'm going to show her exactly how I feel about her.

When we arrive at home, I can tell that Mara is already tired. I know she shouldn't be this tired as she got plenty of sleep and we weren't out for that long, but I know it's the cancer which is exhausting her.

Don't think about that

I think to myself as I shake my head and walk her upstairs.

When she gets in, she immediately falls to the bed and groans.

"I'm exhausted." She says in more of a whisper. I turn off the light and crawl in next to her, wrapping my arms around her from behind.

"My...mom...doesn't know I'm here." She mumbles sleepily and I can't help but smile at her cuteness.

"I called her a second ago." I assure her.

"Thanks...I love you." She mumbles and drifts off.

"I love you too."

Mara

I wake up in the morning still feeling slightly tired.

I unwrap myself from Dylan and head to the bathroom.

I grimace, looking in the mirror at my pale skin and dulling hair.

Before I can inspect the disgusting sight much longer, I gag and release whatever was left inside my empty stomach into the toilet.

I gasp for air after I finish, trying to catch my breath.

Wiping my mouth, I sigh and put my head in my hands, wishing I could just have a normal life.

I pull my head from my hands when I feel someone rubbing my back.

"I'm sorry baby " Dylan whispers, like it's his fault.

"It's not your fault." She says weakly.

"I wish I could stop all this." I say, shaking my head as she buries her head in my chest.

"It's only gonna get worse." She says, looking like she's already given up.

"And I'll be there through it all." I reassure. "Now come on, we've got a list to complete."

Hellooo

I figured out that if I write every day next week I can finish this book before my break.

I'm not sure about falling for lies though.

I think I'll do a chapter a week for that one.

Which means you won't be getting an update for two months but at least I'm trying.

Sorry it's late, I'm very busy atm and I'm writing this very late at night.

Xx
