Hailee's POV
"Good Morning Love" He greeted with all smile on his face
"Well,good morning to you too handsome" I said and winked at him
"I'll see you later ,okay? " He said then kissed the screen
Facetime is our way of starting the day right.
I smiled and ended the call.
It's really amazing how I got this boy.
*****Flashback***
The rain is pouring. I am in the mood to be happy today so I went out and let the raindrops touch skin.
I went to the park and climbed the nearest tree.
Few minutes after, I decided to go down but there was a boy blocking my way down.
"Pardon! " I said hoping that he'll hear me
"Jesus! How long have you been there? Are you trying to kill yourself?! " He moved and he asked with astonishment on his voice
What's with him? It's the right day to be happy yet he is hiding underneath his umbrella.I quickly climbed down.
"Goodness you're dripping wet" He said
I badly want to say that it's my way of having fun.
"And you are hiding under your umbrella " I answered with smile
He shrugged and asked "Do you know where Nathaniel Lutz lives? "
"Ah !He's my cousin"
"Oh great, by the way it's Yohann" He said introducing himself
"Hailee" I answered receiving his hand
"Come, I'll show you" I said leading the way
*****End***
It's been two years yet I'm still having those butterflies in my stomach whenever I remember how did we met.
I drove my way to school.
But then something knocked in
.
.
.
.
.
Today is April 22nd! Our monthsary!
I changed my route and went to the mall. What should I give to him? He has everything!
But then I remembered what he said last year
"I don't need a material thing Hailee You alone is enough"
Ah! What will I do now?
I dialed Nathan's number
"Hey" He answered
"Are you with Yohann? " I asked
"Yeah, why? "
"Will you make a distance from him? He might hear us and I badly need your help"
"Okay? Done"
"What will I give him Nathan?! " I asked anxiously
"It's the thought that counts dear" He teased
"Great idea Nathaniel" I rolled my eyes as if he can saw me
"Thank you, kdot bye" I said and ended the call
Aha! Fortunately, Nathan also helped me in a way.
I bought some materials and drove my way to our house, treehouse.
I looked at my wristwatch.
8:30 am.
I hope I can make it before 10.I have classes starting 10:00 am.
When I think that it's already enough, I left and went to school.
I've been looking for Yohann.Where is he? We're supposed to go to our room together. I shrugged maybe he's with his friends .
"Hailee! " I looked back at Yna
"Happy Monthsary!!" she greeted wiggling her eyebrows
I thanked her and we headed in our room.
Minutes after, our professor did not came.
Okay? What's happening?
"Ehem ehem" said by the familiar voice on intercom
"Ladies and Gentlemen, may I take your time for awhile? This is for the woman that is living in my heart"
My heart skipped a beat. Was that Yohann?
"This is Yohann Clinton. To the girl I love Hailee Farrel, happy monthsary love"
"Ayieeee" eyes turned on me and they started to tease me
Music played and he started to sing
I met you in the dark, you lit me up
You made me feel as though I was enough
We danced the night away, we drank too much
I held your hair back when
You were throwing up
Then you smiled over your shoulder
For a minute, I was stone-cold sober
I pulled you closer to my chest
And you asked me to stay over
I said, I already told ya
I think that you should get some rest
I knew I loved you then
But you'd never know
'Cause I played it cool when I was scared of letting go
I know I needed you
But I never showed
But I wanna stay with you until we're grey and old
Just say you won't let go
Just say you won't let go
I'll wake you up with some breakfast in bed
I'll bring you coffee with a kiss on your head
And I'll take the kids to school
Wave them goodbye
And I'll thank my lucky stars for that night
When you looked over your shoulder
For a minute, I forget that I'm older
I wanna dance with you right now
Oh, and you look as beautiful as ever
And I swear that everyday you'll get better
You make me feel this way somehow
I'm so in love with you
And I hope you know
Darling your love is more than worth its weight in gold
We've come so far my dear
Look how we've grown
And I wanna stay with you until we're grey and old
Just say you won't let go
Just say you won't let go
My cheeks turned red.
How can I not love this man?
After our classes,we proceeded to our treehouse. Turn for my surprise.
"Tada! " I said while showing the decorated room filled with hearts
I also showed the cake I baked awhile ago. He smiled and hugged me tight.
"I love you " He whispered
"Me too Yohann. I love you too" I answered back
After, he came with me at my house and went home few minutes later.
The day ended well.
I'm happy as long as Yohann is with me.
***
Day came, he did not call. He also did not come to school.
I've been calling him but he's not picking it up.
A week passed but still no calls, no messages and no Yohann.
I tried to asked his friends especially Nathan but he said he did not know. Also Yna, his is not answering
I also went to their house but the whole family is not there. Where is he? I'm starting to get worried.
Hope rushed in when my phone rang. It was Leigh,his sister.
"H-hailee.. meet me at the park"
she said crying
"I will" I immediately grabbed my things and went to the park
She hugged me tight.
"Why?What happened? Where's Yohann? " I asked consecutively
"He's in the hospital"
"Why? " I wondered
Tears fell from her eyes as she said "Chronic lymphocytic leukemia"
"W-what? " that caught me off guard
"It started last year. He doesn't want to do chemotherapy.He wants to die without telling you"
"Bring me to him, please " I pleaded
Few minutes after, I am now in front of the door. My hand is trembling while opening the door.
"Hailee" said Aunt Millie, his mother
"Tita" I hugged her tightly
"Please convince him to do the therapy " she said crying
I nodded then they left.
I went near him. He lost weight.
Bruises are present.
I held his hand.
Tear fell from my eyes.
Suddenly, he moved.
"Hey beautiful" he said
I punched him lightly and he smiled.
"You did not tell me" I said
He smiled again.
"Please do the therapy,please? " I asked while tears are falling
"Husshh don't cry. I will if you promise to ... " he wiped my tears with his hand
"to? " I asked
"To find someone when I die"
I was silenced on what he had said. Find someone? No!
"What are you saying? You will not die"
Month passed by, Yohann is still in the hospital. Everyday, I'm hoping that he'll get better but things worked the other way around.
My thoughts were distracted when my phone rang.
"Hailee! Come quick! "
My heart started beating rapidly. No please,not now. It was late in the evening. I rushed my way to the hospital.
"What happened? " I asked Leigh
"H-his h-heart is beating slowly. He's already bidding goodbye .H-he's dying Hailee" she said crying
I went to him. He smiled when he saw me. How can he smile at this time?
I put my hand at his cheek and he held my another hand.
"D-dont leave please " I sobbed
"I- I won't. " he said short-winded
"Find love" he continued
Is this really the end?
"I-i love you" he said then closed his eyes
"I'm tired" he said and life stopped supporting him
"I love you" I said while tears keep on falling
You'll always be my Yohann, remember that.
