KAT'S POV

We finally got home and as Jenny and I sat on my bed I thought to myself.
Was it wrong for me to feel hopeless?
It's true that I was trying to make Jenny feel better but I couldn't ignore all the facts.
I couldn't just ignore everything the doctors told us and wished for a miracle to happen.
"Kat"
"Yeah?"
"I am dying aren't I?"
"Jenny..."
"I can't keep convincing myself I won't. It would be better for me if I just accepted the fact that I am"
"You know there is always a chance"
"Not in my case"

"What is going on babe?" Ethan asked me as soon as he saw me walking outside.
I bursted out crying as I collapsed in his arms.
"I can't handle this Ethan. I can't live without my bestfriend"
"Kat what do you mean?"
And then I told him everything.
From how Jenny and I were told she didn't have long to live.
How she's sick and the doctors couldn't help her.
How her sickness was getting worse by the minute.

That was the first time I saw him speechless.
His eyes staring at the empty road ahead of us.
"Why is this happening to us?" He asked. Not expecting me to answer.
"Gray won't be able to handle it. Gray! Does he know?" Suddenly he looked at me.
"She told him yesterday"
"And?"
"I don't know Ethan. You should really talk to him when we get back"

I saw Jenny running up to me as soon as Ethan and I arrived.
"Kat can I talk to you for a second?"
"Yeah sure"
We walked to the backyard.
"You need to take me to the doctor"
"Jenny what happened?"
She took out a tissue and coughed. There was blood.
"Let's go" I instantly said.
"Now?"
"NOW"

We arrived to Dr.Rob's office.
"Jenny! Kat!" he said giving us a hug.
We had known him for a while. He had been the only doctor who actually cared about Jenny's condition and was doing everything he could to help her.
"So what's wrong?" He asked.
"It's getting worse" Jenny answered tears clearly in her eyes.
Then she coughed and the doctor's face turned white as he saw the blood on her napkin.
"No. It can't be"
"What is it?" I asked.

"Jenny answer me honestly to what I'm about to ask okay?" He said.
"Okay" she replied.
"Have you been feeling chest pain these past few days?"
"Yes actually but my neck kinda hurts too"
He continued.
"How about lightheadedness or fainting?"
"She fainted not long ago. Right after we went for dinner at a restaurant"
I answered before she could.
Then he finally asked.
"How is your breathing?"
"Fast. Like I'm always running even when I'm not"

He looked away like he was trying to get everything together. Then suddenly he stood up.
"How were we this stupid? How didn't we notice these symptoms"
He looked like he was talking to himself.
"Doctor?" Jenny asked looking worried.
"I don't know what to tell you sweetie" he said kneeling in front of her and holding her hand to calm her.
"You found out what it is didn't you? It's something bad isn't it?" She asked.
"It's pulmonary embolism. I should have known before. I could have healed you"
"What is that Doctor?" I asked impatiently.
"A pulmonary embolism is a blood clot that occurs in the lungs.
It can damage parts of the lung due to restricted blood flow, decrease oxygen levels in the blood, and affect other organs as well"
"Can it be treated?" Jenny asked him.

"Large or multiple blood clots can be fatal. We need to run some tests."
"Can it be treated doctor!" She asked again.
"This disease needs immediate emergency treatment. If only we knew what was wrong with you before. You would have had a chance. But now, all we can do is pray"

Without noticing it I started crying. Like I never did before.
"How much do I have to live?"
"It depends on the size of the blood clot"
"Just tell me"
"Jenny I don't..."
"Doctor just tell me!"
"I'd say one month. Maximum"
One month?
One month???
It was the 15th of February.
"I'm going to die on my birthday" she whispered.

Until next chapter!
