HAWK WAS SPEEDING HIS WAY TO VIOLET'S house, panicked at the way she sounded over the phone. He wanted to conserve as much time as possible so he decided to call Martin to check up on her.

The home phone was ringing and Hawk was anxiously tapping the steering wheel of his car.

"Hello, Ocean residence?"

"Martin! I'm on my way right now.  This is Eli. I-I need you to check up on Violet right now. She called me and she seemed to be in pain. Can you please check up on her?" Hawk's voice cracked slightly at the end.

"Oh my god, of course." With that, Martin hung up the phone and ran up the stairs to check on his beloved daughter figure.

When he went up to her room, he saw Violet on the floor, blood on the rim of her mouth and hands.

"Violet! Darling, wake up. I need you to wake up right now." Martin heard the ambulances outside of their home.

Good thing he already called the paramedics Martin thought to himself, grateful for Eli.

When the paramedics came into Violet's room, everything felt like slow motion for Martin. He knew Violet wasn't well, especially since she was coughing up blood.

"Hey, Martin! Is she okay? I came here as fast as I could." Hawk ran to Martin's side and evidently saw the worried look on his face.

"They're taking her to the ER right now. She kept coughing up blood and her breathing is really shallow right now."

Hawk felt a pang in his chest. The paramedics started to wheel out Violet to the ambulance.

"You can come in the vehicle, but I'm sorry the kid has to stay," the paramedic said, referring to Hawk.

He quickly nodded then got in his car, following the ambulance to the hospital.

"Please be okay, my princess."

*❀❁❀*

Hawk was holding Violet's hand as she still laid unconscious in the hospital bed. Martin was sat in the chair in the same room, rubbing his face from stress.

Usually, Martin wouldn't rub his face since his skin is very 'delicate and not to be meddled with', but he didn't care at all right now since Violet was in the hospital. She was far more important than his skin.

After several minutes, Violet started to flutter her eyes open, which made Martin and Hawk jump in excitement.

"Hey, hey baby, do you know where you're at?"

Violet looked around her surroundings to find out she was in a hospital. "Why am I in a hospital?"

"I'll get the nurse," Martin said so the two can have their alone time.

When Martin left, Hawk spoke up again.

"You don't remember calling me?" Violet thought about it for a moment, but still, nothing came to her mind. She shook her head no and Hawk sighed.

"Well, when I came to your house when the paramedics were there, we saw blood on your mouth and hands. Also, when you called me, you had a pretty harsh cough."

"Do you know why I was coughing up blood?" Violet had a weak tone in her voice and it broke Hawk to hear her like that.

The doctor came in right before Hawk was about to answer her.

"Hello Violet, I'm doctor Barnes. How are you feeling honey?" Violet looked at her arms to see the IV tube hooked up in her arm.

"I feel like crap," Violet said, letting out a dry chuckle.

Doctor Barnes looked at Violet with sympathy and she let out a small smile. Violet noticed the distressed look on her face.

"Is there something wrong with me doctor?" Hawk and Martin's attention was now on the doctor as well.

"Well, Violet after you fainted and coughed up some blood, we did tests."

Hawk squeezed Violet's hand tighter and she squeezed his hand back, nervous for what the doctor is about to say.

"During your tests, we found out you have a tumor in the tissues of your lungs. Lung carcinoma, also known as lung cancer was found in the x-ray."

Violet couldn't believe what she was hearing. She thought this was all a dream and one pinch would wake her up. But when she blinked away her tears, she knew this was real.

She looked at Hawk who had tears in his eyes. Violet has never seen him cry like this and it broke her.

"H-How bad is it?"

"Well, it's stage three cancer." Violet knew what that meant. She only had at least 12 months to live and she knew her life would be ending soon.

"I'm so sorry." With that, the doctor left the room, leaving a broken trio.

"Darling, I'm so so sorry. I should have known, I live with you and I didn't even notice the symptoms-"

"Martin, do not blame yourself. This is not your fault. I don't blame anyone but fate."

Finally, after all of the emotions he has been containing in, Hawk let out an emotional sob, which made Violet turn to him with sad eyes.

"Eli, please don't cry. We can't help it. I just have to live the best life I can now."

Hawk stared at her with his bloodshot eyes and Violet knew he was going to argue with her.

"Violet do not talk like that. You can fight this. You can fight cancer and when it's out of you, we can go out on plenty of dates. You can go to the royal ball next year." Violet laughed at how much false hope Hawk had for her.

"Eli, this is the end soon. I just have to live my best life I can now and I want to live it with you." Violet's voice was still soft and quiet, her energy evidently fading.

"Violet please don't think like this. Please, I can't lose you." Hawk was now full-on sobbing which made Violet emotional as well. She wishes she could take the cancer out of her, but that was impossible knowing it was stage three cancer and soon to be stage four.

"This is reality, my love. I will live the rest of my time left with you because you are my happy place, Eli Moskowitz." Eli smiled softly and stood up.

He leaned over Violet's hospital bed and he pressed his lips firmly against hers and she immediately kissed him back.

"I love you, Violet Ocean."

"I love you too, Eli Moskowitz. My prince."

Two things were crossed off of Violet's bucket list.

Kiss her childhood crush.

Let her childhood crush know she loves him.
