"Why?" Xavier's voice shook as Troye stared at him with dead eyes.

"I know I'm going to die, you know I'm going to die. Why should we even bother?" She spoke, her voice smoothed silk.

"Then let me show you love for your last few years." Xavier spoke without thinking as Troye smiled slightly.

"Fine then, we can try," Troye spoke not knowing she didn't have that long.

"How about we go to a party and," Xavier leaned in, blowing warm air on her ear, "I can show you some fun."

"Xavier, I don't like situations with a lot of people," Troye said softly as Nolan got back into the car.

"Let's go back to our place then, our dad isn't home." Xavier suggested as Nolan started the car.

A few minutes later they pulled into a large house with a single light on. It seemed creepy me the moonlight.

"Where are your parents and siblings anyways?" Felix asked as the the car pulled into the garage.

"Victoria and Genevieve should be home, but dad had something with work tonight. He won't be home until tomorrow." Nolan said as he climbed out of the car followed be the other teens.

They walked through a door in the garage that lead into the kitchen where two girls in their pjs sat on the counter as they made cookies. The older girl was Victoria, she had dark brown hair and was twenty one years old while the youngest, Genevieve, was only 14 with fiery red hair that framed her face perfectly. Genevieve looked up from her baking sheet and smiled as she saw her brothers.

"Nolan! Xavier! Come bake cookies with us!" She smiled wider as she saw Troye standing behind Xavier. "Finally you brought home a girl!" She exclaimed as she jumped off the counter and walked towards Troye.

"All of you must go put pjs on though! Be festive!" Victoria screamed as Genevieve ran to her room to grab pjs for Troye.

The twins guided Felix and Troye back to their rooms and brought them in. Troye sat on Xavier's bed as he went into his bathroom. Genevieve quickly came in and dropped off a pair of pjs that was a red tank top and red shorts. As Genevieve left, Troye thought she had a few more minutes to change, so she pulled her coat off along with her shirt. She unclasped her bra and sat it on Xavier's bed as she looked at the shirt that was brought to her.

"damn"

The soft voice came from behind her as Xavier stood there only in boxers, taking in every scar on her body. She turned quickly around, covering up her chest with the shirt as Xavier stepped closer.

"Don't cover yourself, you're beautiful." He spook as he placed a hand on her hip and brought her closer to him.

"Xavier, I'm disgusting and I'm dying. You shouldn't start anything with someone who won't be here in a few months."  Troye spoke as Xavier pulled her closer.

"Troye, I want to show you love. Nothing sexual, just to show you that you are beautiful and I want you to feel love." Xavier said as he pulled Troye into a hug, the shirt she once held dropping in between them.

"You're so beautiful." He said as Troye wrapped her arms around him. His hands never wandered. They stayed around her waist, not above or below. Just embracing her in love.

"I will give you one chance, just one."
