LandonShe sighed quietly, still staring out at the back yard. She seemed as though she was thinking; formulating the right questions to ask before finally speaking. "What really happened after the fire?" She asked, leaning her head back to look up at me."I got shot and ended up in the woods." I answered and her eyes widened."Are you okay?" She asked, her eyebrows furrowing and giving me a clear sign that she was worried."No. I'm dead." I responded sarcastically and she gave me a look."You weren't far from it." She shot back and I breathed out a chuckle, watching as her lips curled upward into a small smile."What took you so long?" She asked me."Took days to get out of the forest." I replied and she looked as though the rest of her questions were already answered."You scared me."Her voice came out shaky, as though she still hadn't wrapped her head around the fact that I wasn't dead.It was silent for a while and I wondered what was going on inside her head."You missed everyt

LandonI sat in his office, staring back at him blankly as he fumbled around with his fingers on the keyboard of his computer."Miss Rhee has Ovarian Cancer. It has affected both of her ovaries, so both would need to be removed.""Miss Rhee won't be able to have children." I leaned back in my seat, realizing that options for her were very limited. "Treatment?" I asked emotionlessly, taking out a cigarette from inside of my pocket and lighting it up.He stared at it, uncomfortable with the idea of me smoking inside of the building but I didn't care. "Treatment for her particular stage would only increase her chances of survival for the next five years by fifty percent. Meaning it's not guaranteed that she would make it to the fifth year.""There is, however, an alternative option. The doctors here have created an off-the-market treatment that can give her a greater life expectancy." He said, looking up from the screen in front of him.I took a long drag, forgetting that I was even s

Victoriå"What about your parents?" I asked carefully, placing my fork down as I had given up on trying to eat."My mother was Arab. My father was Stupid." He said seriously and I laughed.A few minutes later and I still hadn't recovered, placing my hand over my mouth as I tried catching my breath."Guessing you weren't a big fan of your old man." I said, shaking my head as small chuckles still came out."You know you're getting really good at this. Before I couldn't get you to say more than two words at a time." I told him proudly, giving him a smile and he just stared back at me blankly."Spoke to your doctor today." I looked up at him, disappointed that he didn't listen to me."Landon..." I trailed off, letting out a small sigh."You have an option." He told me firmly, staring back at me with his usual cold look and I leaned forward slightly."Does it guarantee I won't die?" I asked him and his eyes grew colder, giving me the answer I already knew.I stood, grabbing my plate and t

VictoriåI curled up on the floor of the bathroom, feeling as though I was drowning as the water from the shower poured onto my face, washing away the blood that came from my mouth.My eyes were glued to the wall next to me and my body shook. I had come into the bathroom to take a shower then suddenly, I was on the ground.I couldn't speak and I couldn't move, but I knew I'd have to try to get off of the ground. Trying my hardest to feel my limbs, I attempted to push myself off of the ground.But that backfired tremendously as my face hit the ground when my arms gave out. Taking a shaky breath as my body still shook, I rolled closer to the wall and with all of my strength, I sat up.I sat there for a while, my back leaning against the wall. I knew that a lot of time had passed because the light from outside became brighter and brighter.Finally, I could feel my limbs again and the shaking had stopped. Getting up carefully, I turned the shower off and grabbed my towel, holding onto the

Victoriå"Bella." I jumped, quickly looking around and my eyes finally settled onto him. Groaning, I slowly sat up and rubbed my eyes with my fists."Landon? What are you doing here so early?" I asked, seeing that the sun had barely started rising and he sat on my computer chair in the corner."Treatment." He reminded me, a perfect eyebrow slowly and I remembered. I hadn't been asleep for long. Maybe twenty minutes or less because my toothpaste had barely even worn off yet. Landon was wearing a white t-shirt, black jeans and a leather jacket. He leaned all the way back, massaging his tensed jaw and his eyes shut momentarily as he did so and I noticed that his eyebrows were highly arched, telling me that he was agitated and I wondered..."Did I make you mad?" I asked, tilting my head slightly as I did.His eyes reopened, instantly landing on me and he unclenched his jaw. Instead of answering, he stood slowly, coming over to me then sitting at the edge of my bed.My heart began racing
