That evening at my house was a somber one. At dinner, my siblings kept looking at mom and me while dad noticed it but didn't say anything. I am sure that mom have already told him the doctors news.
Getting tired of the eggs shells everyone seem to be sitting on. I started the conversation do anybody want to talk about the elephant in the room.
There is an elephant in the room, had no idea. Mom said as she cleans her mouth.
Oh no, I hate it when my mother gets this way, there is no way to convince her otherwise when she chose to ignore something, she believes that if you ignore it, it won't be there anymore but that principle doesn't work with brain tumors, in fact if you decide you want to ignore it, the best way to do that is to start preparing for a funeral.
Mom, we have to talk about it. I said as softly

Micah povI arrived at school today to see Alyssa standing in my parking lot space. Okay, it wasn't mine like I brought it. It was mine like I always park there and everybody knows it. It is not the best parking space in the school parking lot but it is not the worst either. Coming down from my car, Alyssa came to my side of the door and when I opened the door and she threw herself at me for a hug. I hugged her like there was no tomorrow, for me there might not be. " what is wrong. " she asks me when we finally released each other not because of the fact that we were tired of hugging each other but the fact that people were starting to look at us funny. I mean they all know that we are friends and all but still, we don't hug like this in public. Another reason why they are staring at us might the fact that I was hugging Jake Stanton girl. It does not matter

Alyssa povI don't care what Micah told me, he is hiding something from me. I don't know what but I know that it must be big since he needs to keep it from me. Micah don't keep anything from me. For crying out loud, he told me about his first kiss and when he was deflowered. We are that close. Not that there was any doubt. Our first subject for the day its English, Micah favorite class before and when I mean before, I mean before he started to get all weird and everything. Now any time there is a class, his shoulders gets tense not that it is noticeable that much but I am his best friend, I know all his little tells. I wish he would just tell me what is wrong for God sakes. I hate being kept in the dark then again the reason could be that it is because of the girl he loves. I know that I haven't been very supportive or calm when it comes to her but still there is no other explanation. I don't know why but my heart is tel

Alyssa pov.Within a week, the letter has gone viral. It already gained national recognition as one of the best literary piece written by a teenager. People wanted to interview Micah but he turned them all down, don't even get me started about the girls in school. They all realized that Micah is cute all of a sudden. I don't know what is it about guys that seem broken that attracts girls who wants to try to fix them. In Micah letter, he keeps on saying that it is fiction but no one wants to believe that, me included. I know for a fact that it is not fiction since I have seen the way Micah has been acting because of that annoying little turd of a girl. She broke his heart and didn't even give him a second thought. Wait a minute I should know this girl, Micah is very close to her, who are the females that Micah is close to. Me and his mother, at situations like this I feel like I don't know Micah and it

Micah povPreviously on last chapterWe need to talk. She says with her eyes flashing with anger and there was just one thought on my mind. * Uh oh***** Err... What? I asked paying dumb. It is either she realize that the letter is about her or it is about the way I have avoided her as if she has a plague... No, if she has a plague I would totally not avoid her. Dont play dumb with me Vegas. You know what Alyssa said taking on the offensive. If you mean the fly in your hornet then I can assure you that I have absolutely nothing to do with it. You might want to find the person who put the fly there to pick a bone with. "I said without hostility. I know, I know. I am asking for it and a fool for trying to anta

Previously on twenty four Alyssa was quiet for a while before she lifted her head and looked at me directly in the eyes the asked me a question I always wanted to hear before I discovered I had tumor. "Is this about the fact that I never saw you as anything more than a friend, your letter made that clear. I am the person the character in the letter was talking about right? She asks looking at me straight in the eyes, my heart leaped out of my chest...****Micah pov.My heart leaped out of my chest as blood rushed into my ears as all I could hear was a piercing whistle like sound. No, this is not the time for her to figure it out, she is not supposed to know, and I cannot drag her down to my world of hospitals and sickness. She is better off without me. I said to myself, I try to convince myself but my heart ref

Alyssa povMy heart is breaking. No, it has broken. I was not dating this guy but he still broke my heart. What an irony. I always thought that the person who could not break my heart in this earth was Micah but still he did, I unknowingly gave him my heart and he just broke it, although I don't think that he knows that he broke my heart, the Micah I know would do everything possible to make sure that I am happy but then again this Micah is different from my Micah. I don't have to be a genius to know that something big is happening with Micah and he is keeping it from me on purpose, it is no longer funny or enjoyable. I thought I was giving Micah the space he wanted but it seems like I should not have done it. He must see it in a way that makes me the guilty party like he needed me and I was too busy playing hooky with Jake to pay him any attention. What he does not know is that he wanted me away from him, I

Micah povAll I ever wanted was right in front of me but I couldn't do anything other than let it go. Am I cursed to never have my own happy ending? No I cannot start thinking like that yet. I hope Alyssa will forgive me when I am through with chemo, she can't forget all our years of friendship like that. * The same friendship you just spat on and walked all over. * My mind brought up. Oh God, I started chanting in my head, * it is for her good* because that is the only thing that is preventing me from picking up the phone to call her, apologize and set things straight. Or better yet, go to her house and confess my undying love for her, face to face then kiss her. I wish it was possible but it is not. At least not yet. Micah, what is wrong. My mother asks as she came into my room and dropped the laundry basket down then starte

Alyssa pov. The exam period has been hard on me. Not only was I without my boyfriend. (I certainly broke up with Jake when I realized my feelings for Micah.)I was without my best friend too and that made me cranky as hell but right now. I'm feeling refreshed. There is only one thing to do today since I finished my finals yesterday. March to Micah and demand he tell me what is happening. I went downstairs already dressed when I saw my father pacing around the room like he has something huge going on in his mind. Dad, what is wrong. I asked him softly. Your mother is coming back today. He mumbled. After three months. She remembers where we stay and the way to get here, I am surprised, and I am surprised she even remembers who we are. I said heatedly but when my father only sighed but continued pacing. That is not what is

This is the end of our story, our love story. The one that started with the letter I wrote for her, the one that started a year ago but burned as fiercely as a raging inferno. An inferno that was put out too quickly. An inferno that died the day Alyssa died. Now she is being laid to rest but as she is being buried so is my heart. I have finally conquered my anxiety attacks. I no longer feel anything. I am now cold and unfeeling. It scares my family. I can see it in their eyes when they look at me and share a worried look between themselves, I can see it when my siblings try to cheer me up, they don't do what annoy me any longer, the pranks have died with Alyssa. Sometimes I wish we never started dating if that means that she would still be alive.Then I would slap myself and stop assigning blames or 'would haves' because it never change anything. Alyssa is still gone and I cherish every moment we spent together. Every kissed we shared, every look th

**** Within two weeks, I relapsed and now I am back in the hospital. Doing chemotherapy and having a therapist come to deal with my anxiety. I know for a fact that if I am not careful this period I would end up with an anxiety disorder. Alyssa would certainly not want that for me. I can see it clearly in my head, if Alyssa was alive and something like this is happening, she would have hit me at the back of my head and order me to get my shit cleaned up. That is my girlfriend for you.... That was my girlfriend for you. I still can't believe that she is gone. It is too unsettling to discover that she is not by my side or that she didn't go to get something and that is to reason for her not being able to be with me physically. I cannot believe it that she is gone, sure I know that she is gone but my mind can't wrap around the fact that I will never see her face smiling or pouting or giving me that look that is sp

Micah pov. Even before the doctor came out with the news that Alyssa was gone. I knew that she was gone. I now know what the sharp pain meant. It meant that my soul mate was dead. I have been numb ever since I entered the car, I came out and did everything my family did but my mind was blank... The doctor came out and her parents rushed to him but he just removed his mask and shook his head. My sweet bratty princess was gone and it was confirmed, that was when the first sob teared out of my throat and I held on tight to my mother, I felt people surrounding me but I could not pay attention to them. I am without my soul mate, my best friend. How would I survive? This is all her mother fault, normally I try not to point fingers and assign blame but I have to this time. It is all her fault, if she had let Alyssa do whatever she wants, we wouldn't even be in this town now. If she had not forced Alyssa to be her maid o

Micah povWill you grow up man? I asked my brother as I hit him with the back of my hand. I am only thirteen, so no, not yet. Mike replied annoying the hell out of me. What did I do to deserve this, right from the moment he was born he has done nothing except annoy me. Mike, stop. Alyssa call put him in a good mood let's hope that the good mood last for a little while. Don't make it evaporate so quickly. Celine said as Mike and dad chuckled at her statement. What is this? Gang up and tease elder brother day? I asked not amused. No, that was yesterday. Mike replied. That is why we annoyed the hell out of you. Celine added. You mean like how you are doing right now and how you also did last two days. I pointed out. You are right. Annoying e

Micah povWeeks laterPreparing for Alyssa parents marriage is taking a toll out of me, well out of Alyssa, which affect our relationship and in turn, affect me. Sometimes I wish I could kidnap her and hide her away from her mother who has turned into brideizza. I don't get the deal, you have being married to this man for eighteen years only to divorce him saying that you no longer feel sparks or whatever silly excuse she gave eleven months ago only to come back three months later and plead with him that she made a mistake and that she still wants to be in his life then get remarried in less than a year of being apart. Too crazy, she didn't apologize to Alyssa and although she was welcomed by her husband... Ex-husband and soon to be husband again and also my parents, Alyssa and I never did welcome her back.

Micah povI was getting ready to take my car to the mechanic to see if there was anything that could be done to salvage the situation when my mother called me from down stairs saying I had a visitor, I groaned as grabbed a tee shirt and quickly out it on as I hurried down the stairs with my keys in my back pocket only for me to stop at the last step when I saw who it was.Alyssa, someone whom I was clearly not expecting to see. I was even tempted to not believe my eyes because I was certain that Alyssa would never apologize for what happened, the highest I was expecting her to do is to concede to the fact that maybe she was not right with her actions and even then, it would be done grudgingly. Alyssa was not the kind of person to apologize and that was why I was finding it hard to believe.Then my siblings started their snickers in the background, the tv they were watching was long forgotten as they turned to face us.

Alyssa Pov,How did me and Micah go from a candlelight dinner to fighting? I have no idea but what I do have an idea of is that he is irrational and my feelings are rightly justified.And what I am also sure of is that he might not want me again.Yes, I might sound dramatic but it is the truth, Micah cares very much about his car, I think me and his mother are the only ones who are allowed to seat in the front seat and I just keyed his car.I know, I wasnt really thinking. I just got upset because he was not relenting, it was just me saying goodbye to Jake.Jake was going away to college, and based on what happened at his party, I did not really talk to him and although he got on Micah nerves, it did not change the fact that although Jake sting my pride by sleeping with Tiffany but I broke his heart when I broke up with him just to be with Micah.
Love Letter Thirty eight
Alyssa povHello honey, it has been long since we talked. Tiffany stated trying to hug me with a false smile which I certainly did not believe.She had ambushed me on my way to get drinks for me and Micah because since we arrived at the party together, we have been inseparable and have been sitting on the couch together, not making out but certainly more touchy feely than usual, I think it is finally getting into their heads that we are a couple.I have been happy at that and feeling high and staring into the face of Tiffany, that high is slowly being expired and I was not in the mood to feign happiness at seeing her.What do you want? I asked but instead of my tone to come out as hostile, it came out as defensive.I frowned at my words and I was not the only one who caught up on the defensiveness that was in my tone because Tiffany jumped on it by crowding my space.

Micah povApparently, kissing in front of your friends and those who you went to high school with is not enough to convince people anymore that you are in a relationship with your best friend.Granted, it was me and Alyssas fault for always coming up with crazy schemes and being too close outside. It was annoying enough to Jake wanted Alyssa but it was nothing compare to the girls who me and Alyssa went to school with as they all, all of a sudden wanted to hang out with me. Alyssa was not a happy camper at the attention which they paid to me.You know that you look cute when you pout. I teased Alyssa to get her mind off the fact that we were invited to go for a party tomorrow and in Jake home nevertheless.You know, you ought not to annoy me especially since I am in a bad mood. Alyssa retorted as I sighed.I let go of the trash bag in my hand as we were in the process of cleaning the la
