Chapter19
“Where is the that damn doctor!” Lily said as she wiped some sweat that was falling down
Promise’s forehead.
“He is coming… he better be coming right away…” I said threatening at the end. Right now was a chance that I can prove to my baby sister that I changed. That I was no longer that teenage boy who cared about his reputation. That I was a man now, who protects and takes care of his family even if he had to give up his life.
“I knew something was wrong…” Lily said softly as she looked at my sister. Smiling, I waked over and lefted her off the bed and embraced her. I was happy that she stuffed her head in the crook of
neck. It pleased and calmed my wolf.
“She will be fine… it’s just a fever.” I said but somehow I didn’t think that it was only a fever that
caused her to be this way.
Promise
I was laying beside Issac as he kept on running his fingers down my arms. Leaving a trail of shivers. I suddenly heard him sigh and that made me move my head up to look at him. “What’s wrong?” I
asked softly.
He moved his gaze down at me, and I could see sadness in them. I frowned. “I can’t keep you here
for long… It’s time you wake up dear.” He said equally as soft as I did.
My eyes widened. I shook my head frantically. “No… not yet. I want to stay here for a few more
minutes…”
He smiled and touched my cheek. “A few minutes here would result a few hours over there…” I
shrugged my shoulders as I felt some tears raise up. “I don’t care… I want to be here with you.”
Sitting up fully, he kept his smile as he looked at me. “We will be together soon love. Do not worry.”
Tears fell down my face as I watched him. I nodded my head and agreed with him. The only reason I
agreed with him was because what he said was true. we will be together soon.
Leaning towards him, my lips met his and we kissed a slow kiss. A bitter sweet kiss that was mixed
with my tears. Pulling away, I felt him put his lips onto my forehead.
“Forever.” I swallowed the lump in my throat and closed my eyes as I cherished the feeling of his .lips on my skin. “Forever.“I murmured.
My eyes fluttered open as I tried to make out what was going on. Looking around, I see everything

was normal 1 felt something wet on my forehead, lifting my hand up I grabbed what it was and was shocked that it was a cold towel Why was it on ine? Shrugging it off, I gently threw it onto the table and dropped my hand.
I focused my thoughts on the dream that I had and once again tears began to fall down. I put my
hand on my mouth to block out the sobs. My body shook as I can still feel and taste his lips. Closing my eyes tightly. It felt like it actually took place. Like he never passed away. He was still here with Loanne and 1… right?
Everythin was confusing now. I didn’t know what was real. My heart is telling me that Issac is still alive… that he never died in the first place. But my mind was telling me that it was a dream. A dream
that a conjured up because I was too mentally unstable. I needed someone to help me make things
clear. And I knew one person that could help me do that.
Loanne
Slowly standing up, I walked over and grabbed my cell. Scrolling down my contacts, I reached Loanne’s name. Taking a deep breath while wiping away the tears on my face, i pressed her name. Putting the phone into my ears, I heard the familiar ringing and then she picked up.
“Promise?” Her voice sounded husky and broken.
Then the tears fell down once again as I remembered how Loanne was there for Issac and I when we were getting treatment together. How she was holding me as I watched them bury him, how she held onto my hand as the doctor injected chemo. And how broken and angry she sounded when I told her that I was going to have the same fate as Issac.
Sobs began to racket through my body and I fell down onto the floor as I kept the phone to my ear. “Promise are you okay?” Loanne asked. I shook my head but remembered that she couldn’t see me.
“N–no… I‘–I’m not o–ok–okay Lo–anne.” I said through my sobs.
“What’s wrong sweetie?”
“Issac…” I said. As soon as I said his name, I cried even harder. “I don’t know what to do Loanne! I feel like he is still alive and that this is all just a dream. But then if it was a dream, wouldn’t he be here with us right now?” I said as I dropped my head.
1 can hear Loanne sob as she listened to me. “Dear… he is gone. He isn’t here with us and now…” She
wandered off.
