"Why didn't you tell me?" His voice cracks again and another stab of pain blooms in my bones. "I ..." My chest throbs and I think it might explode. "I didn't want you to look at me like this." "Like what?" "Like I'm dying." Now he's standing there like an idiot and I'm standing here like an idiot and we're all standing around like idiots. He looks at me with his teary eyes and I hate it. Julian is supposed to be annoyed at me. Bored. Sarcastic. He's not supposed to look at me like this. "But you are dying." ☆ ☆ ☆ They grew up hating each other, but when Allison finds out she only has six months left to live, something changes. Julian works hard to fill those six months with life, but in doing so, he develops feelings stronger than hate.
