So much history in my head,
the people I've left, the ones that I've kept.

Wynter's P.O.V.

It's been about a month since Nina told me about her leukemia.
I had visited her quite often but it made my heart ache to see the state she was in.
Nina finally made the decision to tell Spencer and he broke down and cried. Apparently he's liked Nina for a very long time and Nina has liked him.
So they were almost the real Romeo and Juliet.

Except only one of them was dying.

I walked into my therapy session with Dr. Primson behind me.

"It's so good to see you today, Wynter.
How are you?" She's asks when we're seated.

I grab my whiteboard and dry erase marker.

'To be honest, Im 50/50.'

"50/50? Really? How come?" Dr. Primson picks up her clipboard from the coffee table.

I erase my whiteboard with a napkin and write again.

'I'm really happy with Asher, he makes me happy. Happier than I've been in a really long time. But, I've just been struggling with loving myself and my friend Nina, who has leukemia and I haven't been able to cope, and you know my sisters in town.'

"My, this is the most you've confided in me. I'm very proud. I'm very happy for you, I knew Asher and you would get along just fine." She's says and pauses.

"Nina Benson. Yes, I heard. I'm very sorry about that. I've been counseling her through her the whole process of her diagnosis. When you say you couldn't cope, what did you mean?" Dr. Primson asks seriously.

I erase the whiteboard again.

'I was having those thoughts again.
The suicidal ones, and Nina just seeing her makes it worse. I love seeing her, she's my best friend. I love her. But the thought of death with her..I just feel like everything in my life has to be ruined, I'm scared that what's happening with Asher will be ruined too.'

"I understand, and what is it, that's happening with Asher?" Dr. Primson asks and I blush.

I actually had no idea.

Suddenly her phone started buzzing on the coffee table.

"Ignore that, now can you tell me what's going on with you and Asher?" She smiles.

I erase my whiteboard and begin to write again but after a long pause, Dr. Primson's phone buzzes again.

"Don't worry about it." She's says with a chuckle.

I blush and continue writing.

Then it buzzed again.

The door to the office opened, revealing the secretary and she rushed in.

"Excuse me, I'm meeting with a client." Dr. Primson says, upset.

"This is urgent, Dr. Primson." The secretary leans over and whispers in her ear.

I cross my arms and wait patiently for them to finish.

"S- what?" Dr. Primson went pale and drew a long sigh.

"I'm sorry, Wynter our session is canceled today." Dr. Primson stands up almost immediately and rushes out of the office with the secretary behind her.

I chase after them, once I catch up, I grab the therapist's arm and tugged on her.

"Everything is..Please, just go home.
You need to be home." She says sadly, choking back a cry.

I look at her confused, but nod nonetheless.

I grab my backpack, ready to leave but the sight of Spencer with messy hair and bloodshot eyes makes me stop in my tracks.

I walk up to him and place a hand on his shoulder, he jumps.

"Wynter..." He trails off, I give him a confused look.

"Spence, don't, let me handle it." I hear Asher say from behind me and I turn around immediately.

What the hell was wrong with everyone?

"Red, precious Red, please..you uh, need to sit with me." Asher says and makes me sit down beside him in the waiting room.

I throw my hands up, asking what's going on.

"You..know, you make so many people happy. You're really special and I really like you, I almost love you, and I probably do and I'm just being a-"

I place a finger on his lips to shush him.

"Wynter, I have really bad news." Asher says quietly, and kisses my finger before setting it down.

I nod slowly.

"I..Nina..she died."

My whole world stopped.

She was my whole world.

My first reason to fight for life.

"Wynter? Wynter?" Asher shakes me slightly.

I parted my lips in surprise, and licked them.

"She-She can't..be." I said. The words come out of my mouth slowly, string bitter on my tongue. Asher looked at me in shock.
His expression looked distraught, almost as if he didn't know what to feel at the very moment.

"Red..she is, I'm sorry." Asher mumbles sincerely and I fall into his arms. I see a doctor walk out a hospital room and he's with Nina's parents. I detach myself from Asher's hold and run to them.

"Wynter!" Asher says and runs after me.

"She can't be dead! Please, no!" I shouted and the doctor watched me sadly while Nina's parents sobbed.

"Red." Asher whispered into my hair as he pulled me back.

"No..NO! SHE NEEDS TO BE ALIVE! I SPOKE FOR HER! I spoke for you, Nina! Where are you?" I screamed as Asher held me back and I choked on my sobs.

"Please, come on." Asher says gently and I shake my head.

"Wynter, lets go home.." Asher says and I shake my head again.

"I don't want to be alone right now."

"Then, lets go."
