BEN'S POV:

"Ben!"

I hear and then a smack on my desk.

"Yes, Miss Twaine?"

"Stop zoning out of it, in my class!" She snapped.

"Sorry." I mumble under my breath.

I've been out of it for the last couple of weeks. I miss Lexi. I want her back. I can't believe she saw Alisha kiss me, and didn't say anything about it. I wish I knew.

Ugh.

DINGGG

The last period bell rang and I headed up to my locker to drop off some things I didn't need to take home.

As I opened my locker a small piece of paper flew to the ground. Confused, I bent down and picked it up.

It said, Ben, in pretty handwriting. I gently took the letter out of the envelope. It read:

Dear Ben,
I'm so sorry for how things ended. I know that Alisha was the one that kissed you, but it hurt so much that I couldn't bare to see you that day. I wish things were different. With you. With me. With health. I have to tell you something, Ben. I recently found out that I have cancer. Apparently, I've had it for awhile, but I was recently notified about it. That's why I've had so many stomach pains and sharp feelings inside my stomach area. I should've known that there was something seriously wrong, but I was too caught up on my fantastic life with you. Spending days upon days with you made me feel special and loved. I'm so thankful for you. I love you Ben. And I want nothing else but to be with you, but the truth is, I don't think I'm going to make it. I've been in the hospital the past couple of weeks on life support, and I think my mom is going to pull the plug. I'm not writing this to make you sad, I'm writing this because even if I never get to see you again, I want you to know that I love you, and I always will.
Love, Lexi
