The Volunteer And The Patient
Chapter Twenty Five
Alexis' POV
My heart began pounding against my chest. Surely I couldn't have gotten worse? I felt fine..amazing in fact. So why was there a problem with my leukemia? For eight years I've had this stupid disease, so why would it all come crashing down now? I mean, I haven't exactly done anything wrong to deserve this..apart from pranking a few people around the hospital..but come on! I've done hardly anything bad..

I blinked in confusion as the corners of Lily's mouth pulled up into a smile.

"It's gone Alexis, it's gone!"

My breath stopped as I stared into what seemed like nothingness, my brain processing this new information. It's gone, it's really gone!

I came back into the real world when I felt someone shaking and hugging me. I blinked and looked down at two black heads of hair--Woa, wait. Two?! Realisation flew across my face as Blake and Drake pulled away from hugging me, their faces breaking out in smiles. I blinked and stared at Lily, my voice cracking.

"Gone? It's gone? This is a joke right? Nice one you guys..way to make me feel like crap."

They all frowned at me as Drake spoke up.

"This isn't a joke LexRex. It's as true as it's gonna get Babilicious!"

I continued to Blink, staring at a wall.

"Okay, she usually responds to that badly..what the heck is wrong with her?!" Drake cried. Lily spoke up.

"She's in shock, let's just leave her for a while. Blake, you stay. She may start crying once she comes out of shock." I felt Blake nod next to me.

I heard footsteps, then the only sound that could be heard was Blake's and my breathing. I felt wetness pool in my eyes, and soon spill over.

"Gone...it's actually gone," I whispered. I felt arms around me as Blake then pulled me down so he was cradling me, rocking me slowly.

"Shh, it's okay, you're fine. It's all gone," he smiled, as he wiped the cold tears from my cheek, replacing them with his warm hands.

After I calmed down, I sat up and leaned my head against his chest.

"Thank you for being here," I whispered. I felt his chest rumble as he chuckled.

"I'll always be here." He then tilted my chin up and closed the distance between our lips, kissing me slowly.

The End

Author's Note: Ahhh, it's the end! I'll probably do an epilogue after this, then it'll be all finished :D

The Volunteer And The Patient

Chapter Twenty Four
Alexis' POV

A month had passed and I just recently fully recovered from the aftermath of my last set of chemo. I laid back into my bed, sighing happily as I thought over the past month. I smiled as all the memories rushed past my eyes.

A few days after I had asked Blake to stay with me until I fell asleep, he wanted our relationship to be official, and we are now together. Drake, Blake and I also had some fun times, pulling pranks on the rest of the workers. Especially Drake and I. We would usually pull silly, but funny pranks on Blake while he was working. I laughed gently as I recalled the memory...

Drake and I hid behind a filing cabinet as Blake drifted past to get to a cleaning cupboard, declaring to one of the patients that he just need to find some more rubber gloves. Drake and I snickered as we quickly rushed into the room. A boy with tufts of brown hair, and blue eyes, looked at us, bemused. He looked about 13/14. I just laughed and pressed my finger to my lips, making a 'shushing' gesture. He just nodded slowly, and I twirled around, grabbing Blake's mop, as Drake grabbed the broom. We smiled at the boy, who now appeared to be amused, and we ran out of the room, hiding back behind the filing cabinet.

Blake walked past and into the boy's room. I saw him scratch his head, a confused look on his face as he asked the boy where his mop and broom were. I nodded at Drake, and he threw the broom towards the room, sliding to a stop, but not before hitting Blake's foot. He jumped at the loud clattering noise of the broom and blinked, before looking towards the filing cabinet.

Blake frowned and walked towards us, but as he came around the filing cabinet, I stuck the mop in his face, drenching his skin. Drake and I snickered at his glaring face as we ran back to Drake's room, shutting and locking the door.

I laughed at the memory, but I must've caught attention, because Blake appeared at my door, looking amused.

"Wow, I guess you are really going crazy afterall. Maybe we should stop your chemo, huh?" I glared playfully at him, and threw my brush, hearing a whack as it hit his chest. He sniffed like a toddler and began to fake sob, so I beckoned him over.

Blake laid on my bed, his head in my lap as I twirled my fingers through his hair.

"Shh ickle Blakey, everything's going to be fine," I giggled, talking to him a mother would do to her child. Blake chuckled and lifted his head, his face inches from my own. I felt his warm, peppermint breath blow across my lips and cheek, and I felt a warm, uninvited feeling spread across my face.

I saw the corners of Blake's mouth twitch, obviously congratulating himself that he could make me feel this way.

"You're cute when you blush," and then his soft, red lips came down on mine, moving in a syncronised way.

"Alexis, I need to speak to you," Came Lily's voice, full of doubt and sadness. I broke away from Blake, and looked at Lily, instantly worried. I calmed slightly as Blake's hand squeezed mine gently.

"What is it?" I asked, gently. Her frown turned into a sad smile.

"It's about your leukemia.."

Chapter Twenty Three

Blake's POV

As Lex snuggled up in my arms, I whispered an 'I love you,' into her hair, but she was too tired to take in what I had said. As she fell asleep, I couldn't help but notice how well she looked while asleep. It was as if nothing had ever been wrong with her, as if she hadn't had leukemia for the past 8 years. I smiled and leaned forward, kissing her forehead.

I had stayed with her for another half an hour, before I had to leave to do the rest of my cleaning. I gently untaggled her from me and I silently slipped off the bed, watching as she scooted over onto the warm patch I had left. I kissed her cheek softly, and she smiled in her sleep, whispering. I hadn't heard what she said at first, but she seemed to be repeating it. I leaned forward and eventually made out what she was saying.

"I love you to, Blake."

Those five words were enough to send me into the most happiest state I had ever been in.

Just before she fell asleep, I was worried about telling her I loved her, thinking I had been moving too fast. And because she was tired at the time and couldn't register what I had said, I had been afraid that she didn't feel the same, because I didn't recieve an answer. But now? Now I knew.

I kissed her forehead once more, before gathering my cleaning products and making my way out of her room. As I was about to drift off into another room, I saw Lily at the reception desk, so I quickly rushed over.

"Blake! How nice it is to see you out of Lex's room," She smirked, as I rolled my eyes, my cheeks sporting a tint of pink.

"I need to talk to you about Lex actually. You se--"

"YOU'RE GOING TO PROPOSE?!"She cut me off excitedly. I frowned and tilted my head.

"Wha--"

YOU GOT HER PREGNANT?! YES! SHE'S HAVING A BABY!" Okay..now she's attracting unwanted eyes. I sighed and grabbed Lily by the shoulders, shaking her.

"No to all of them..well..the first one, maybe..in a few years. Just listen! She was burning up before I came out of her room. I would've told you earlier, but she wanted me to stay until she fell asleep," I informed her.

Lily just nodded and smiled.

"I'll go check up on her now," And she began to walk away, muttering.

I caught a few of the words she said, making out, "Young love."

Author's Note: It's short because I have writer's block, but I still wanted to write you guys something, and this was the best I could come up with :/ Thanks to everyone who's following/commenting/faving/reading my story :') It's greatly appreciated <3

The Volunteer And The Patient

Chapter Twenty Two

Alexis' POV

I opened my eyes and groaned, feeling achey all over. I began to feel the urge to puke, so I slowly got off from my bed, and walked to my bathroom. I leaned over the toilet and began to puke, feeling like I just wanted to puke up all my insides, just to stop the pain and sickness.

Once I had finished, I washed out my mouth, and returned to my bed, staring at the bag of chemical stuff. I never did ask Lily what it was. I made a mental note in my head to ask her next time.

"I hate you. So. Freaking. Much. Do you not understand my pain? I can barely eat with you just happily absorbing yourself into me. I mean, it's not like I eat much anyway..BUT STILL!.." I carried on talking to the bag of chemicals, until my croaky voice began to get quieter. I sighed and stared up at the ceiling, completely bored, but knowing I wasn't strong enough to do much at the moment.

"Hey sunshine, how're you doing?" I heard Blake's soft voice, and I turned towards him, smiling.

"Meh, I'm okay I guess. You?"

"Yeah, I'm okay, but you're tired. Go to sleep while I clean your room?" he offered, and I nodded slightly, smiling a small smile.

" 'kay," and I rolled over and closed my eyes.

~~~

Okay, so it's been about half an hour now, and I still couldn't sleep. I could tell Blake was just finishing up, but I kept my eyes closed the whole time, trying to keep his mind at rest. God, I was freaking bored. I felt like I had freaking insomnia, but I swore that this chemo-stuff was meant to make me all weak and sleepy. All I'm getting is weak, minus the sleepy part.

I had already tried counting sheep about 5 times, but they kept turning into dinosaurs and then into Blake's face. Talking about Blake, I jumped in surprise as a warm hand lightly came in contact against my forehead, as if checking my temperature. I sighed and opened my eyes, looking up at him as he frowned.

"You're burning up. I should go get Lily," He stated and began to leave, but, like the ninja I am, I grabbed onto his hand as he turned. I knew I wouldn't be able to keep him there though; I was too weak to play tug of war with his hand.

"Don't leave," I mumbled, trying to use my puppy dog eyes on him.

I knew it was selfish, seeing as he had other rooms to clean, but since I had been put on chemotherapy a few days ago, we hadn't seen much of each other seeing as I'd been asleep or throwing up.

"You sure? You really are burning up quite bad, and you look like you could do with some rest," he frowned. I just sighed and rolled my eyes.

"You can sort that out later..but first, can you just stay with me until I fall asleep?" I asked shyly. I then added, "I feel like I have freaking insomnia."

He chuckled and dropped his cleaning products near the door, then came back to the bed.

"Scoot."

I 'ughed', but moved over anyway so he could get under the covers. I snuggled up next to him as his arms snaked around my body, pulling me closer to him, and I sighed in relief, as sleep soon overcame me. I could have sworn that I heard him whisper into my hair, "I love you," but maybe that was the sleep that was confusing me. I eventually fell into a land of peace and comfortable darkness.

Author's Note: I haven't been feeling too good lately, so that's why this part is late. Really sorry, please don't hate me <3
I love you all <3

Chapter Twenty One

Alexis' POV

Okay, so I guess that was uncalled for, but he looked so broken and fragile. I just wanted to take away his pain. Woa, that sounded cliché. But I wanted to give him hope that everything would now be okay.

I felt Blake's lips move against mine, and I began to kiss him back. I could feel the tingles flowing from my lips, down my spine, and down towards my toes as I wrapped my arms around Blake's neck, wanting to be as close to him as possible. After what felt like hours, but most probably only a few minutes, we came up for air. I smiled, tears gathering in my eyes as I stared into his. Maybe I could do this..I mean, I have stayed alive through 8 years of leukemia, so who's saying I'll be dead any time soon?

"I'll always be here for you," I whispered.

Our lips met again.

~~~

"YOOO BABILICIOUS! HOW YOU DOIN'" Drake yelled, while winking at me. I could only guess why, seeing as I was momentarily stood, wrapped in a towel.

Didn't Drake know how to freaking knock?!

"Drake. I will give you 5 seconds to get outta my room. Or I will remove my towel."

"PAHHHHH. That's the funniest thing I've heard all day."

"5...4...3..."

"You can't be serious..right?" He asked, looking rather scared.

"2...1...0" I reached for the ends of my towel.

"WOAAA THERE SUNSHINE..DON'T RUIN MAH INNOCENSE..I'M LEAVING!" He shouted, running out of the door, while covering his eyes. My door shut with a loud thump. I laughed and quickly began to get dressed before I had anymore interuptions. I then blow-dried my hair, letting it fall into it's naturally waveyness.

I heard a knock on my door.

"Is it safe to come in yet?" Ahaaa, Drake.

"Yeah," I smirked.

He opened the door, hands still in front of his face.

"I don't believe you."

"Drake, would I let you open the door as wide as anything if I was stark naked?"

"Okay, fine." And he slowly uncovered his eyes, sighing in relief when he saw me fully clothed.

"Never do that to me again..YOU HEAR? BABILICIOUS!"

"OKAY, WHERE'S MY CLOTHES HANGER?!"

I made a grab for it, and began to poke and hit Drake with the clothes hanger, shouting abuse at him. The door opened again, and Blake and Lily were standing there, eyes wide.

"What on earth is going on?!" Lily asked, looking shocked.

"DON'T GET ME STARTED! FIRST, HE WALKS IN ON ME IN A TOWEL. THENNN, HEEEEEEE. CALLLED. MEEEE. BABILICIOUS...THAT'S FREAKING OFFENSIVE," I yelled. "I.AM.NOT.A.BABY." Each syllable I yelled, earned Drake a hit from the clothes hanger. That was, until it was taken from my hands.

"WHAT THE FREAKING TABLE?! BLAKE. GIVE. IT. BACK!" Ohh, I was sooo going to eat Blake. And not in the sexual kind.

He just smirked and wrapped his arms around me.

"I think that's enough now." I just huffed, but cuddled into him anyway.

Author's Note: TA DAHHH :D I'm so sorry! I've had too much of school/homework/illnesses and all that jazz, BUT I'M BACKKK! And with this chapter too :D So yeah..enjoy and toodles <3

Chapter Nineteen - Part Two

Still Alexis' POV

"No Alexis. It's you who doesn't understand." Well..that was nice?

"Did you not just understand anything I said? Blake. I have C-A-N-C-E-R," I spelt out for him. "I'm not getting any better."

"I heard you loud and clear, but you don't understand." He was seriously getting on my last nerve. And what was with him and using my whole name?!

"Then help me to understand, because you're making no freaking sense!" He span around and faced me. I could just about see a few tears gathering in his tears, but he gulped them back.

"I've already had a slight feeling of what you're going through. No, I've never had any type of cancer before, but someone really close to me did. And it didn't help the fact that my parents had been abducted, and were never found, and that I was in care for the past 4 years. You just don't UNDERSTAND!" He gripped his hair with his hands and fell into a chair, eventually putting his face into his hands. I rushed over to him when I could see his body twitching, signalling that he was crying. I kneeled down beside the chair and wrapped my arms around his shaking body.

"Shh, I'm sorry, I really am. Shh," I whispered comforting words to him, but he wasn't finished yet.

"Sh-she was in hospital for a long time..j-just like y-you..but she d-died after two years," he began, his voice cracking on the last few words. "The k-kids at the care home used to bully me, say that I was pathetic and had no f-family..the social workers didn't do anything about it.." I continued whispering calming words, until he'd stopped sobbing. He looked up, staring into nothingness. He stayed like that for 5 minutes, before looking back at me. I could see his puffy eyes, pink cheeks with tears still trickling down, and the full, red lips that I kissed moments ago, were now a quivering, pale set of lips.

"My sister, it was her who died."

Author's Note: Helloo :') I'd just like to say thanks to anyone who's still reading, and I'm sorry for the late post >.<

Chapter Nineteen - Part One

Alexis' POV

First reaction? Shocked out of my freaking mind. Second reaction? Oh. My. Cheesecake. Blake's lips felt so soft and they moulded perfectly against my own. His kisses were leaking passion and desire, but yet they still felt full of love. Wait..he couldn't possibly love me..right? I mean..we haven't known each other that long and--JUST SHUT UP LEX.

It wasn't long until I wrapped my arms around his neck and kissed him back, wanting myself to be closer to him. He tightened his grip on my waist. But even after all this, after all I was feeling at that moment, my stupid brain had to have it all come crashing down. I managed to pull my lips from his and he began planting light kisses over my neck.

"B-Blake," but I guess he didn't hear me, so I tried again.

"Blake..s-stop." He still didn't even faulter in those amazing kisses.

"Blake! I can't do this..just stop!" My weak voice attempted at a shout, but it kinda failed.

Blake finally stopped, but his lips didn't leave the skin on my neck. I sighed and tried pulling away from him, but he kept me there. I began to get stressed and felt the traitor tears in my eyes.

"I-I can't Blake. You don't understand..I'm ill..I could die any minute, any day. I can't do this..I wouldn't want you to be upset if I died..just pl--" Before I could finish my sentence, he ripped his body away from mine, and stood in front of my window, staring outside. Why was he acting like this?

Chapter Eighteen - Part Two

Alexis' POV

I heard him heave a sigh as he dropped into a chair beside my bed. I took this opportunity to quickly finish my pancakes, then push the plate away.

"I should explain to you about the whole Facebook thing..I didn't re--" I cut him off.

"Woaaa there Mister Teaspoon. I know what happened and bla bla bla. Drake sent me the conversation to show off his improved ghettoness. I'm so proud of him," I said, dramatically looking away into the distance.

"Wait..you know?"

"Isn't that what I said?" I said slowly, as if I were talking to a 4 year old.

"So you're not mad at me..you forgive me?" I smirked evily and slipped off my bed, turning around to sort out the stuff on my table.

"I'm not mad at you, but then I don't forgive you either." Ohh, I loved playing with him. And he'd never my secret. Mwuahaha.

It was silent for a while, then I felt arms wrap around my waist, my breath caught in my throat. Damn, he figured out what I was doing.

"Aww, you mean...you don't forgive..me?" He asked, his warm breath blowing along my jaw. I shivered and tried to be strong.

"N-n-noo," I stuttered. Gahh, he'll know he's got to me now!

"Well, that's too bad isn't it? Maybe this will change your mind.." Then he turned me around, and bought his lips to mine.

Author's Note: I'm home sick today..so there might be another chapter sometime today (:
