Loving You, for the Last Time
Miserable.
Liam was sitting in the doctor's office.
His eyes were filled with surprise and shock.
His hands trembled slightly.
Andreas Corsley [Doctor]
I am sorry, Mr.Erickson.
Liam Erickson [MC] [HDO]
I-I have what?
Andreas Corsley [Doctor]
Leukemia.
Liam Erickson [MC] [HDO]
Leukemia...
Liam looked into nothingness.
Andreas Corsley [Doctor]
Leukemia is a kind of cancer that starts in your blood and bone marrow.
The doctor started explaining what leukemia is.
Andreas Corsley [Doctor]
Normally, your body makes healthy blood cells that carry oxygen, fight infections and help stop bleeding.
Andreas Corsley [Doctor]
But with leukemia, your blood marrow starts making a lot of abnormal white blood cells that don't work the way they should.
Andreas Corsley [Doctor]
They crowd out the healthy cells, which makes it harder for your body to fight against infections, staying energetic or heal properly.
Andreas Corsley [Doctor]
There are some ways to treat it though.
Andreas Corsley [Doctor]
With time and care.
Liam Erickson [MC] [HDO]
But...I could die, right?
Andreas Corsley [Doctor]
You shouldn't think of something like that just yet.
Liam listened to the doctor.
He wanted to live, but, at what cost?
Andreas Corsley [Doctor]
We can start with chemotherapy first, it will be difficult, but I believe you can make it.
Liam Erickson [MC] [HDO]
Okay...
Andreas Corsley [Doctor]
I'll make you an appointment.
The doctor finished talking with Liam.
Liam Erickson [MC] [HDO]
Thank you, doctor.
Andreas Corsley [Doctor]
See you.
Liam closed the office door.
Sorry.
His parents worked as very important people..
His father was the CEO of some big shot company and his mother a well known singer and actor.
Liam however chose to live his life minimalistic.
He goes to law school, but he doesn't need to be well known.
He liked his life as it was.
Liam Erickson [MC] [HDO]
Damn it!
Liam was throwing things in his room.
He threw anything he found to the ground, breaking it..
Liam Erickson [MC] [HDO]
What did I ever do to someone?
Liam Erickson [MC] [HDO]
Why is my life a hell!?
Liam Erickson [MC] [HDO]
I am sick...?
Liam Erickson [MC] [HDO]
Why!?!
Liam Erickson [MC] [HDO]
Aaaahhhggg!
Liam fell to the ground, crying.
Liam Erickson [MC] [HDO]
Hic, hic!
Liam Erickson [MC] [HDO]
W-Why?
Liam cried himself to sleep.
When he woke up the next morning.
Liam Erickson [MC] [HDO]
Yawn.
Liam Erickson [MC] [HDO]
I need to go to school.
He got up and did his breakfast.
Liam Erickson [MC] [HDO]
Ugh.
Liam Erickson [MC] [HDO]
I don't feel like eating.
Liam Erickson [MC] [HDO]
But I have to!
Liam ate his breakfast and went to his college..
Liam Erickson [MC] [HDO]
Hello, Edward.
Liam didn't return Edward's smile..
Edward Lightstorm
Are you okay?.
Edward Lightstorm
You look tired?
Liam Erickson [MC] [HDO]
I am..
Liam Erickson [MC] [HDO]
Let's go to class.
Edward was a very positive person, he always smiled.
Liam Erickson [MC] [HDO]
Ugh!
Liam bumped into someone and fell to the ground.
Liam Erickson [MC] [HDO]
Sorry.
Mateo Highland [ML] [HDA]
It's alright, are you alright?
He extended his hand towards Liam.
Mateo Highland [ML] [HDA]
Come on, up.
Liam Erickson [MC] [HDO]
Thanks.
Mateo Highland [ML] [HDA]
I'm sorry.
Liam Erickson [MC] [HDO]
It's fine.
He, Mateo, looked after him..
Anger.
Liam was in the hospital.
It was his first chemotherapy session.
Liam Erickson [MC] [HDO]
Haaaa...ugh...
The session ended, but it hurt..
Liam Erickson [MC] [HDO]
Ahhg...
Andreas Corsley [Doctor]
It's alright.
The doctor patted Liam's back.
Liam Erickson [MC] [HDO]
W-Why does it hurt so much?!
Andreas Corsley [Doctor]
I know it must hurt, but please endure it.
Liam Erickson [MC] [HDO]
Ugh...
It was time for dinner, but he wasn't hungry.
Actually, the idea of food made him sick.
Liam Erickson [MC] [HDO]
Ugh...!
He ran towards the bathroom.
Liam Erickson [MC] [HDO]
Bleargh!
Liam was sitting above the toilet.
He was nauseous, vomiting.
Liam Erickson [MC] [HDO]
Fuck...
Liam Erickson [MC] [HDO]
Huff...
Liam Erickson [MC] [HDO]
Cold...
Not even the blanket could ease him feeling cold.
Edward Lightstorm
Wow, are you sure you're okay?
Edward Lightstorm
You look tired and pale..
Liam Erickson [MC] [HDO]
I'm fine, truly...
Edward Lightstorm
Don't sound like it.
Edward Lightstorm
It's the bell, let's go eat lunch.
Liam Erickson [MC] [HDO]
I am not hungry..
Liam Erickson [MC] [HDO]
Go alone.
Edward Lightstorm
O-okay.
Edward Lightstorm
See you later.
Liam Erickson [MC] [HDO]
See you.
Liam lied down on his desk.
He was feeling cold again.
Liam Erickson [MC] [HDO]
Why is it so cold..
Someone put a coat on him.
Liam Erickson [MC] [HDO]
Huh?
Mateo Highland [ML] [HDA]
Hi.
Mateo Highland [ML] [HDA]
I heard you were cold.
Liam Erickson [MC] [HDO]
Thanks, but your coat won't help me anyway.
Mateo Highland [ML] [HDA]
Why not?
Liam Erickson [MC] [HDO]
You're not from law, right?
Mateo Highland [ML] [HDA]
No, I study medicine..
Liam Erickson [MC] [HDO]
Medicine Huh....
Liam Erickson [MC] [HDO]
I've got enough of medicine.
Mateo Highland [ML] [HDA]
What?
Liam Erickson [MC] [HDO]
Nothing...
Mateo Highland [ML] [HDA]
You don't look good.
Mateo Highland [ML] [HDA]
Maybe you should go home.
Liam Erickson [MC] [HDO]
Of course I don't look good!
Liam Erickson [MC] [HDO]
I feel like a shit!
Liam Erickson [MC] [HDO]
Being sick and all!
Liam Erickson [MC] [HDO]
Taking that fucking chemotherapy which hurts!
Liam Erickson [MC] [HDO]
I can't do this anymore!
Mateo Highland [ML] [HDA]
Be angry as much as you want to.
Mateo Highland [ML] [HDA]
It's alright.
Liam started crying in his embrace.
