   Stephanie's POV:

A couple of days later......

      My mom comes over and tells me that she loves me and thanks Shawn  for keeping a close eye on me. He nods and tells her that he would have done it regardless.

I'm still in the hospital, unfortunately. I made a lot of progress though!!!!! For example I'm not  intubated anymore. And the doctor came in with some bad news I could tell.

  It's a good thing my mom left before the doctor came in.

"What's wrong?" I asked sitting up.

"Stephanie. Shawn. There's no good way of telling you guys this but, Stephanie has Stage 5 leukemia."

" How can that be? It was just a couple days ago when she had Stage 3. " Shawn asked impatiently.

"It appears that the test results were wrong. I'm so sorry." She replied.

"How many months or years does she have left ?" He asked.

" With the proper treatment..."

" Cut to the chase we've heard this crap before." He answered back impatiently.

"Shawn, I know your mad okay. I am too but please calm down." I said to him.

"Thank-you." She said.

"Don't thank me. I did it for him not for you." I said sourly.

"Anyways you might have a couple of weeks or a couple of months. I'm sorry." She finished saying.

"You should be." I responded.

She quietly exited the room and left me with Shawn who is clearly pissed.

  "Shawn, calm down." I started out.

"Steph you don't get it do you. I have a right to be mad. I'm watching you die in front of me. And now she has the nerve to tell us that you have a couple of weeks or months to live. What I don't understand is how your not mad as  hell!!!!!" He yelled at me.

"Don't you think I'm mad. I'm dying I'm gonna leave YOU behind!!!!! DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH THIS CANCER TAKE AWAY FROM ME EVERYDAY?????? DO YOU? I THOUGHT SO.  GET OUT!!!!!! GET OOOOOUUUUUUUTTTT!!!!!!!!!" I screamed at him.

"FINE I WILL!!!!!!"  He screamed back at me.

He ran out the door.

Shawn's POV:

I run out the door and I can hear the wind rustling in my ears. I'm so mad . I can hear my heart beating so fast. I jumped into my car and I put the key in the ignition.

I started driving at 60 mile per hour. Then 70, 80, 90, and then at 100.  I was so mad at Stephanie, the doctor, and the world. I didnt have time to stop when a big Market Basket truck came out of nowhere.

  We collided. And then everything started hurting.
