Chapter 13: This dance
"Cat?" Blaze says after the peaceful silence we had.
"Yeah?"
"Dance with me," he starts getting up and holds my hands.
"But we don't have any music playing."
"Who said we needed music to dance?" he puts my hands on around his neck and circles his arms around my waist. I stayed silent and followed the movement of his feet.
"Thank you," I breathed.
"For what?"
"This dance," I looked up at him and smiled.
"Want to get home?"
"Wait, I want to stay like this for a while," I stop him from letting go. I know that when we get home I have to tell him about my condition.
But how?
After a few more minutes like that, we watched the sun rise from the east. The wind blew my hair away and I felt Blaze tuck it behind my ear, making me look at him. It felt sweet when he kissed me, I wonder what people will think when they see our silhouette from the horizon.
"I love you so much, Cat," he whispers and kisses my head. He entwines our fingers as we made it back to the car.

"What movie would you like to watch?" I ask Blaze once he plopped down on my bed.
"Hm.. Howl's Moving Castle?" he pouts.
"Sounds good, it's that an anime movie?" I took my laptop and laid down beside him.
"A legendary anime movie," he argued.
We went through with the movie and it ended with me in tears. What can I say? It really was a good movie. He would laugh at my reactions and I would constantly tell him to shut up.
"I hate you," I mumbled.
"Why?" he whines.
"Because watching that was torture," I whine back.
"You're such a baby"
"I'm your baby though," I smirk.
"Touche"
"I'll go and take a shower, wait for me?" I say and get up, placing my laptop on his lap.
After I finished, I went back to the room and put my clothes on. Blaze was so silent that I looked at him--he wasn't on the bed. He was by my desk, holding a paper.
"Since when?" he asks, his voice cracking.
"What do you mean?"I ask as I made my way to him to see what was wrong. He raised the paper, my medical record copy.
"Since when did you hide this from me?" he faced me, angry.
"I-I'm sorry. It's been three weeks and I was supposed to tell you now," I try to explain and held my tears back.
"Why? Why did you keep this from me?" he demands, raising his voice.
"I was scared you'd leave me," I cried.
"If you told me earlier than this, I wouldn't, but now? You got that prediction right," he gave me the paper and went out through my window. I crumpled the paper and threw it at the wall, falling on my knees. I leaned against the bed and cried onto my knees.
I hear a knock on my door and I immediately know who it is.
"Cathy, what happened? I heard shouting," Axel said, sitting beside me.
"I should've told him," I sobbed hugging him.
"You were scared, and it was his duty not to snap at you like that, he had to understand. Does he know how long you have left?"
"No, I don't have to tell him that, it doesn't matter now"
"Don't talk like that, it does matter, your life matters"
"If I mattered, he wouldn't walk away just like that," I tried to say, crying even more.
"He made a mistake, he doesn't deserve you"
I pull away from the hug and climbed up the bed, covering myself with the blanket. I want to wake up and know that this was just a nightmare.
"I'm going to leave you be, I'll just bring some food up to you, okay?" Axel said before closing the door.
I couldn't sleep, my mind kept drifting off to Blaze. I had lost him.
I grabbed my phone and tried to call Blaze, only to be sent to voicemail. I decided to leave a message either way.
"Blaze, I'm so sorry, I get why you're upset. I will respect your decision to leave but let me say goodbye one last time, I didn't want this. I swear I didn't.." I pause, crying silently. "Let me say I love you once last time before you ignore me again, please." I plead, ending the call.
You know how they say that Love will make you or that love will break you? I believe that Love will always teach you a lesson. This time, I learned that I shouldn't hide things from people, especially those who prove how you matter to them. I've learned a big lesson.
After staring at the wall for hours and refusing to eat, I checked for the time.
Midnight
I hope I can sleep now..

Blaze's POV (Yay!)
I know I shouldn't have walked out like that but I felt so betrayed. I had turned my phone off and was now at the bar with Zack and Mark, drinking my ass off.
Don't get me wrong, I still love her, nothing would change that. I just regret everything I said, it was better to have left without saying anything.
I want to charge back to her house and apologize but I just need time and space to cool off because I don't want to end up hurting her even more. I don't want to have to see her tears.
It made me weak, how I can't face her.
I want to fix this, in time.
I just need more time.
But I don't know how long she has left.
