Chapter Three

'Are you sure you don't want to consider chemotherapy, Miss Blake?' the doctor asks. I grab my jacket and look at him. Chemotherapy, oh hell no! It won't change a thing. It will only inflict the pain.

'Yes, i considered about it.' I say. 'And I say no.' The doctor sighs.

'What about your medication?'

'I'm taking them.'

'Alright, you can come back when some unusual things happen.' he says.

'Thank you.' I say.

I stand up and walk out the office. I walk to my car and step in.

'Where go, miss Blake?' my driver asks me. I take out my phone and show him the address where I wanted to go. He nods and starts the car. I look out the window.

The night is still young. I look outside through the tinted window, staring at the sky. I busy myself searching through the countless numbers of stars, looking for a specific one. And there it is. The star I claimed mine ever since I was a kid. I don't know how I always find it in the ocean of bright lights. The feeling was right whenever my eyes land on it. It's the brightest star closest to the moon. That makes me think about something.

Flashback

'Come on, I have to show you!' I grab Jack's hand and pull him with me.

'What do you have to show me?'

'You'll see it when you walk with me.' I say.

Jack rolls with his eyes.

'Why are you walking to a tree?' Jack asks.

'Can you climb?' Jack sighs.

'I can, but i'm someone who falls out the tree.' Jack says.

'Don't care!' I say. 'Please! For me.' Jack sighs.

'Okay, fine, fine.' Jack walks to the tree and grabs a branch. He raises himself up and stretches out his hand for me. I grab it and he pulls me up. We climb further and I climb to the thickest branch. I sit down and look to Jack.

'Come, I know that this is safe.' I say.

'Yeah, sure. With two people sitting on a branch form a tree that's I don't know how old is.' Jack says.

'Jack! Trust me! God, please!' Jack sighs. Then he climbs to me and sits down. I look at him, he looks extremely worried.

'Okay, I'm here. What did you want to show me?' he says.

'Look at the sky,' I say. 'What do you see?' Jack looks up.

'Erm...- The moon and the stars?' he says, unsure of his answer. I smile.

'You see that one? The brightest one close to the moon? One on the left?' I say, pointing at the sky. He nods and looks at it.

'That's mine.' Jack chuckles.

'You claimed it as yours?' He laughs.

'Do you find it funny?' I ask.

'You're cute, Nina.' he laughs. I shake my head and put by attention back to the star.

'That star is me.' I say. I feel him moving. He wraps his arms around me and leans with his chin on my shoulder.

'I understand why you claimed it as yours.'

'Why?'

'You shine the brightest in my eyes.' he laughs. I chuckle and shake my head. We're just a year together, but I still can't get used to his cheesy comments. 'No tell me, why is that star you?'

'I think that star is my guideline.' I say. 'I shines so bright. It radiates hope, faith, destiny and love. That are the guidelines of a person. When I have problems, I just stare at it. And it's going to sound crazy, but when I look at that star, it helps me to clam down and clear my mind.' I look at Jack. He smiles and looks at the sky. 'I know it, I knew that you said it would sound ridiculous. You are-'

'I believe you.'

'I told you! You wouldn't- Wait, what?'

'I believe you.' he repeats. 'It's really cute and so are you.' I blush a little. 'And you know that I will always believe you. Right, cutie?'

'Stop calling me cutie.' I laugh. 'It's..-'

'Cheesy?'

'Yes!' Jack chuckles.

'Moonshine.'

'What the f-' Before I can finish my sense, he presses his lips on mine.

'Miss?'

I look up.

'I'm sorry, what did you said?' I ask.

'We arrived.' I look out the window. I recognize his house. It didn't changed.

'Oh, thank you.' I say while I grab my bag. I step out the car and walk to Jack's house. I walk to the door and lift my hand to knock on the door. But then I hesitate. I lower my hand slowly. Will his mother allow me to come? Is she's going to be angry at me, just like Jack is? And is sisters? I don't know if this was a smart idea. Before I can turn around and walk away, the door opens.

'Nina!' Corbyn stands in front of me. 'You did came!' I put up a forced smile.

'Of course.' I say. 'I guess I...- Changed my mind.'

'Amazing!' Corbyn says. 'Come on! Come in!' Corbyn steps aside so I can walk in. I take a deep breath, but then I step in. 'Where did you go?' Corbyn asks while he closes the door.

'I had an appointment. I already told you.'

'Yes, but which appointment did you have?' Corbyn asks.

'Oh eh..-' Oh boy, I don't want to tell him that I needed to go to the hospital. 'My sister called me. She's going through a rough time and I'm the one who helps her, so I needed to call her.'

'Oh really?' Corbyn looks worried. 'Is she okay?'

'Well, things are going better than they used to.' I say. 'But, she still needs some help. And because I'm not at home, I have to do that by video calling.' Corbyn nods.

'What is her name?'

'Her name is Juna. She's a few years younger then me.'

'Well, I hope that she's going to get better.' he says. 'But, come on. We're entering the dangerous place right now, watch out!' I smile and shake my head.

I walk into the living room, with Corbyn. He walks immediately to his friends, but I don't want to go yet. Instead of the living room, I go to the kitchen. I take a deep breath and go with my hand through my hair.

'W-wait, Nina?' I look around. I see Kristin in front of me.

'O-Oh... Miss Stanford..' I mumble.

'You know you don't have to call me that, dear.' she says. She walks to me and studies me well. I'm standing there a bit uncomfortably. I don't know what Jack told his family about me, but I think I don't even want to know. 'You look a little thinner.' she says after a while. 'You are eating, are you?'

'Of course.' I say quickly.

'Well, I'm sorry I said that. But I'm happy to see you again.'

'It's good to see you to, miss Stanford.'

'I'm telling you once again, call me Kristin.' I smile weakly.

'You know I can't.'

'But I want that.' Kristin says. 'Please, call me Kristin.' I chuckle a little.

'Okay, Kristin.' She smiles.

'Go to Jack, he would love to see you again.'

I don't think so...

I smile again and walk to the living room. When I look around, I recognize a few people. Sydnie, Ava and Isla. And of course the members of his band.

'Nina!' Ava jumps up and runs to me. She hugs me tightly. 'Oh my god! I haven't seen you in forever! It's so good to see you!'

'Yea.. G-good to see you to.' I stumble. I feel his eyes staring at me. I feel his eyes drilling into my back. I feel nervous. It feels like i'm shaking. Ava pulls me out the hug and looks at me.

'You haven't changed a thing.' She laughs. 'Well, you are a little thinner and paler tho. Oh, that sounded so mean. I didn't ment it like that.'

'I know.' I smile. 'You did changed tho.' Ava smiles proud. 'Ah, my baby girl is growing.' The words slipped out my mouth. Almost everyone in the room starts to laugh, except for Jack. I turn around to Jack. I smile to him, he doesn't smile back. 'Erm..- H-happy birthday.' I grab the gift out my bag and give it to him.

'Thanks.' He says. Ava pulls me to a chair and we both sit down. I look at him while he's opening the gift. The voice are overlapping each other. Everything is going in slow motion for me. Everyone is talking, being busy with each other, but I only can focus on Jack. He opens the present and looks at it. It are a three rings. They are all made of silver and belong together. I know he likes rings. He wears it, almost everyday. He looks at me.

'Do you like it?' I mumble. Jack nods.

'Yes, i do. Thank you.' He says. I smile, and for the first time today, he smiled back.
