Jack let a few tears roll down and simply said," you will live I promise you this." with that he simply held her and laid there holding her and cried beside her
 
"Love don't cry please." Anna told her as she looked at him but then stayed crying next to him in his neck. "How can you make a promise that big and keep it? I could die any day Jack... Any day." She whispered and held his hand under the blankets tight.

Jack looked at her his eyes red from the tires," I'm going to stop going to school so I can be beside you every day. I'll take online classes, and I don't know I just want to be beside you until... the end. I don't want to leave you alone." he held her tighter and wanted nothing more than to be there each day for her
 
"You don't have to do that love. I want you an education. Because I'm only going to be here for a few more months. Jack I'm scared. I'm scared to die. When I do die however, promise me you will be strong... You have to promise." Slowly stop crying and fall asleep.


Their parents walked in and their mother blinked. "What's wrong Jack?" She asked and Monica nodded. "What are you two hiding?" She asked and reached under the pillow for the file. She had seen Jack try and hide it.

Jack couldn't meet his mother's eyes he just laid there and wept as she read it, he felt ashamed as if all of this was his fault and he wanted to do what ever he could to help
 
The three stood in shock. They then looked at Anna then Jack. Monica began to cry and their mother eventually did the same. Anna heard the crying and tightened her grip on Jacks hand. Why did things have to be like this? She never asked for this.

Jack got up and hugged them all then explained his plans to them and when he finished he sat on the bed and finally said," I've made up my mine guys and someone needs to be here for her. " he couldn't help but say this as tears rolled down his cheek. He wiped his tears and gently kissed Anna's hand for a second
 
Their parents weren't happy with Jacks plan at first but their mother realized exactly why he cared so much. "How long have y'all loved each other?" She asked. "I don't mind you two dating, considering you're not related by blood." She added and Monica's eyes grew wide. The doctor then came in and said that Anna would be released tomorrow but she would need to carry an oxygen tank with her everywhere due to her lung that collapsed.

Jack was shocked by this at first and then he grinned," so what gave it away mom." he chuckled and held Anna's hand just as he did before they came in." looks like that's one less thing we hid from them huh Anna?" he kissed her cheek and smiled at her glad they could be more affectionate now
 
"Little things Jack. I know love when I see it." She said and smiled then brought the pizza box they bought for Jack and Anna and set it on Anna's lap. Anna slowly raised her bed and looked at Jack. She kissed him on the cheek softly and the grabbed a piece. "I love you mom." She said and their mom smiled. Monica climbed the bed and sat in between Jack and Anna. Anna laughed softly and ruffled her hair.

Jack looked up at his mom and grinned," I understood that but what was the big thing that gave it away." he grabbed a slice of pizza and bit off a piece and held Anna close to where Monica was getting squished and when she squirmed he moved her to sit in between his legs and handed her a small slice of pizza and got closer to Anna
 
"Let's see, kissing the back of her hand and the way you were holding her when we came in." She said and smiled and Anna laughed softly. "Gotta love mom." She said and continued to eat. "Hey I'm not that old. I know what love is." She said and Monica laughed a little to hard. "Mom you're like 50." Monica said and everyone burst out laughing. This was perfect. This was how Anna wanted to spend the last moments of her life.

Jack finished and sat back in the bed," so Anna since your going to be released tomorrow is there anything you wanted to?" he held her hand which was soft and warm. He then looked at their mom and nodded towards his laptop and held his finger to his lips and nodded. When he saw her face spread into a smile, she nodded and put the laptop down.
 
Anna looked at Jack a bit suspicious but just shook it off and then she thought about it. "The carnival?" She asked and looked at him and smiled softly. Their mom then sat down and continued eating. Monica had fallen asleep at their feet. "I just think it will be hard because of the tank." She told him and sighed.

Jack smiled and nodded," you know we can get a portable one and you can carry it in your bag." he chuckled and kissed her lips gently and looked over to his mother," sorry mom were just being in love over here." he chuckled and then laced his hand through hers just like he tried to do on their first date.
 
Anna smiled through the kiss and then looked over at their mom who just smiled at the two. "It's fine. Not like I haven't seen people kiss before." She told them. Anna looked at Jack then replied with "I know but even with a portable one.... It'd just seem like a hassle...." She told him and sighed.

Jack smiled," would you just like me to carry you tank and all while we have fun?" he chuckled and just wanted her to have a good time. Then a thought occurred to him, he heard that Bianca and her friends would be there and he had a feeling she wasn't over him just yet. He didn't let this concern show and simply asked," do you want to go to the carnival or not."
 
Anna smiled softly and nodded. "I do I really do and I can carry my own tank. I don't need your help." She said and their mom looked at Jack. "Just don't push yourself Anna. I know you think you're okay but be cautious." Anna looked over at her and nodded.

Jack smile, because he was happy and he said," well I don't know about you guys but its been a long day. I'll see you all in the morning." he got up and sat in his chair, closed his eyes, and went to sleep smiling
 
Anna giggled softly and then when their parents left and Monica she slowly got off the bed and kissed Jack softly. She held her weight on his thighs and when she pulled away she smiled and walked back to the bed and laid down.

Jack woke up around ten the next morning and looked over at Anna who was still asleep. When he saw her he quietly got up and laid on the bed beside her and kissed her lips very gently and held her close until she woke up
 
About an hour later Anna slowly opened her eyes and smiled when she saw Jack. She kissed him gently and the pulled away. "Did you get enough sleep?" She asked and yawned then snuggled in closer to him for warmth. It was awfully cold in the hospital this morning.

Jack nodded and smiled," I did and you ready to go to the carnival today. Maybe you can finally get yourself a boyfriend." he smirked and chuckled he couldn't wait until the carnival so it can just be the two of them and nobody ekes could bother them
 
Anna just rolled her eyes and laughed softly. She pulled Jack down and kissed him a bit more intense then before. "You're my boyfriend." She whispered and then smiled. "But yes I am all ready!" She said. She was excited to just spend time with Jack

Jack kissed her back just as intense as her and he slowly rubbed her back as they kissed and he loved every second of it. He drew back to say," first we gotta get home so we can get dressed. You know." he chuckled and kissed her and grinned 
( hey I'm going to head to bed, ill be on tomorrow earlier. Good night)
