2 Weeks Later.
? Claribel’s P.o.v?
I woke up to feel a pair of arms around me,I turned and Adrian was still sleeping.
We went to bed pretty late because we were watching movies all night and we went out to different places.
For the past weeks,We have been spending so much time together,We didn’t bother going to school because we have done our final exams and submitted our project so there wasn’t any need to go to school.
Our graduation is in a week’s time and i really hope Adrian gets to see it.
He has started to look pale and he has dark circles under his eyes and he coughs alot.
I was pulled out of my thoughts when my phone rang, I checked the caller ID and it was my mom.
I gently stood up from the bed and went to the hallway.
“Hello, Mom”
“Good morning,dear,how are you?”
“Good,So did they say anything?”
“Honey, it’s still the same results, it’s really impossible to do a heart transplant,the doctors said that if they attempt to do surgery,he might die” I sighed and ran my hands through my hair.
I talked to my mom about Adrian’s condition and she told me she would talk his medical files to different doctors in other countries.
“Thanks, Mom”
“Am really really sorry,i know how much you love him”
“It’s okay,I have to go now” I ended the call and walked back Into the room,Adrian was just waking up.
“Good morning” His voice was hoarse,I walked closer to him.
“Good morning,How are you feeling?”
“Am still a little sleepy and weak”
“Then let’s go back to bed, it’s still 7 in the morning” He held my hands and kssed it.
“How about we go out to a dinner date tonight,I have everything planned out for just the two of us”
“Okay,Dinner date it is” He coughed a little then stops.
“Come on, let’s go back to sleep” We cuddled on the bed,My hands caressing his hair.

? Adrian’s P.o.v?
I was dressed up for my dinner date with Claribel,Isaac and Shannon came by, Shannon was with Claribel while Isaac and i played video games.
“Hey,bro,can i say something ?” Isaac asked as we stopped playing.
“Yes, sure”
“I just wanted to say that you have been my friend for so long and a good one,I still don’t know how I’ll cope without having you as a friend”
“Isaac, you have been a good friend to me too, Trust me it’s also hard for me but what can I do”
“Claribel is almost ready,just 5 more minutes” Shannon said as she walked down the stairs.
“Okay but before she comes,i want to ask you two a big favour”
“Sure,What is it?”
“Claribel told me you three are going to the same university”
“Yeah,we are, we decided that it will be a good idea to stay together”
“I know and i really want you two to help me take care of her,take care of Claribel for me”
“Of course,bro,I won’t let anything bad happen to her,I promise”
“And Shannon,i want you to help me make sure she gets over me quickly and move on, I don’t want her to be miserable over me”
“I would do anything for Claribel, She’s practically my sister but getting over you is going to be hard,You are the love of her life, Adrian”
“I know that but i also know that’s she’s strong, very strong”
“I know that too,I’ll help her”
“Thanks”
“Am ready” Claribel said as she walked down the stairs looking so beautiful.
“How do i look?” She twirled around.
“Amazing” Isaac and Shannon said at the same time.
“You look stunning” i took her hand in mine and kssed it.
“Aww,We are going to leave you two now, bye” Shannon and Isaac walked out the door.
“Let’s go”

? Claribel’s P.o.v?
We drove over to a little beautiful restaurant, it was empty but well decorated.
“Why’s it empty?”
“I set a reservation for just the two of us”
“That’s.. that’s amazing,You are amazing”
“Not as amazing as you” We shared a kss before settling down in the restaurant.
A chef came out and served our foods,We ate happily while talking about alot of things.
“You know i have already thought of my first book as a writer”
“Really? What’s it about?”
“You..Us,the love we share,I have already started it.
It’ll be a way of showing people that two messed up people like us with a painful past can also fall in love and Love is not a smooth journey like they portray in the movies” He put his hand on mine and smiled.
“Am so proud of you,So proud and i know the book will be a huge hit”
“Thanks” I smiled at him and we continued to eat.

FLASHBACK
We were at the garden,it was a little late at night,I and Adrian laid on the grass staring at the sky.
“Babe” I turned to look at him as he called me.
“Yeah”
“Did you ever think you and i could be together?”
“Honestly,No, I didn’t even think i would love someone as much as i love you, You complete me”
“All the times i spent in England were the worst,i was always angry,frustrated and rude..even to my own mother.
You changed me,I love you for not what you are but for what i am when am with you,I love you for not only what you have made of yourself but for what you are making of me,I love you for the part of me that you bring out”
We shared a passionate kiss.
FLASHBACK ENDED.
“What are you thinking about?” Adrian and i finished from the restaurant and started taking a walk down the street.
Street lights and billboard signs made the night beautiful.
“Just about us,our past memories”
“The Good one or bad one?”
“We don’t have bad memories”
“When we argue and yell at each other, say hurtful things”
“I see your point but there’s no relationship without fights”
“True ,plus the best part is that we always make love to reconcile” We laughed together
“The stars in the sky are so many tonight”
“Yeah, it’s like they knew you were coming out tonight”
We stopped walking and faced each other, holding hands.
“Let the stars tonight be a witness to me telling you right now that i will be by your side forever,Even when am gone,i will be here with you.
On any nights that you might feel outnumbered,i will be right back with you because i love you”
“I love you, Adrian Coleman,I love you” We shared a really passionate kss,we pulled away to catch our breaths.
His lips went to my neck and he sucked on it.
“I want to feel you,Claribel,i really want to”
“Then let’s go”
“Yeah, let’s go”
