“If you had a day left, what would you spend those few hours doing?” I asked Thane. He gave me a calculative look. “Why would you want to know that?” he asked. 

“Nothing; I am just one curious creature.” 

“Well, if I did have a day to live, I wouldn’t spend a minute thinking about death; I would live through the day like it was every other.” he said, and I couldn’t help but smile at that. “Bella, I have a question for you. Have you ever thought about having a family?” 

The smile on my face disappeared. I had thought about that so many times; anytime I looked at Thane, I knew if I could have a family, he would be the one I would want to have that family with. 

“No.” I lied, “I will worry about that when the time comes.” 

I rose from the bed. 

“Where are you going?” 

“I need to use the bathroom.” I said to him, but I had been trying to hide the tears; they had once again ruined my makeup. Hiding this was getting harder. I took out my powder; I just needed a few more touches. 

I stared at my face when I was done. I was dying; it was getting clearer with each passing day. 

I coughed into my hand, and just as I’d been noticing for the past few days, a faint smudge of blood stained my palm. I rinsed my mouth before returning back to the bed to join Thane. 

“I love you.” I said to him, 

“I love you too, and Bella?” 

Yes?” 

“I’m glad I made this choice.” 

“Me too.”

He placed a kiss on my lips. 

“Thane, if something happens and I am no more, would you ever forget me? 

“When you are no more?” 

“I mean… 

“You will be here with me, always,” he said to me, but I could see the suspicion in 

his eyes. 

“I’m just being…” 

“Curious,” he completed, “And for your question, I would never stop thinking about you, not now and not in a million years.” 

There, that was all I needed to hear. 

I waited for a few hours before rolling off the bed for the second time. 

I had added a good amount of sleeping pills into his drink; I didn’t think it would keep him down for long. I only hope it will be enough time. 

My body ached, my eyelids grew heavy and they drifted shut, the time was here, and yet, I felt like there was one thing I was yet to do. I spotted the pen and paper on the drawer, and I stumbled towards it, accidentally knocking down my picture frame in the process. Finally, I collected them and returned to the cushion. 

I stared at Thane one more time, and my heart ached. I didn’t want to die. I let out a stifled sob, trying my best to hold it down, but I couldn’t and so I let the tears out. 

“There are many bad things I have done in my life, but then there is one that outshines them all. It was the day I let myself have a glance at you; it was the day I fell in love with you; it was the day I let you in. It had been so wrong and yet, the best choice I would ever make. 

There is a secret I kept away from you; I did this because I didn’t want you to leave me. I couldn’t live without you, and so I kept it to myself. I was born with an illness, an incurable disease in my blood. I left my pack because I wanted to make the most out of the time I had left, and then I met you. You became my life, and till death I will continue to love you.
