My Bestfriend's Brother Shouldn't Know How I Taste free chapter novel Chapter 102

Bailey's pov

The world stopped. It felt like it stopped.

The words that moved passed her lips hit me so hard, that it pushes the air out of my lungs. Cancer. The word was like a mocking echo we had promised to leave behind us. We had won. She had won.

I looked down at my little sister, squished between our parents. Her face is unreadable but I know she is well aware of what is going on around her. How? God why? She had won? Hadn't she?

She had won!

"No," I whispered, my heart tearing apart. I don't think I will have a heart anymore after tonight. It doesn't feel like it will heal after this announcement. I shook my head, my vision going blurry as I begin to cry. " It can't be. You're lying!"

The last words come out like a yell, my throat aching with the aggressiveness I used. " Tell me you're lying mom!" I screamed, causing Lil to squirm away and look at me in fear. I quickly toned down my anger, not wanting her to fear me.

I approached them, falling to my knees beside the bed, staring at Lillian in fear. I am angry, I am not sure at who, the doctors, the cancer, God? No, even through this I am not angry at God. Instead, I am on my knees, praying to him to give us one more chance to fight this once again.

" Lilian," I croaked, reaching for her little hand that she pushed toward me. Her little eyes are filled with tears, but she manages to crack a smile even through all what she was going through.

" I can do it again Aile," she said softly, her voice shuddering. " I can beat it again," her eyes filled with determination and I could no longer hold it, I burst into full blown tears, crying until my chest hurt.

That night we all stayed in Lilian's room, all four of us magically fitting in her small bed. Sure dad kind of hanged a bit and fell on the floor in the middle of the night, however we stayed. And that's what we needed right now, our family, together.
