When I had come back with his letter he was gone. Opening the letter with care I smiled a little at his note. "Let's meet beyond this fence one day and smile together. Will you wait till that day comes with me?" I smiled more and blushed lightly wiping a tear that escaped and ran down my cheek and whipping it away I whispered "Yes, I will..." Though I never got to send him the letter my self but I do hope that he had a smile on his face when he read my message. I had to head back before I could wait for him to come back because my treatment started to wear off and the pain was coming back. I rushed back to my world with in my walls and got my treatment every day but this time the treatment I was getting was different then my normal one. My father was with me every time I got the injections in my arms and ever time he would ask me. "How do you feel today baby?" Every time I wanted to tell him that I felt weak and sick. That I was scared I wouldn't be able to beat this thing but I never did. Instead I smiled and acted like I was strong and lied to him saying, "I feel a lot stronger now. I think its working!" I knew that no matter what we tried this was my fate just like living in that place was the boys fate.
We may never be able to meet out side of our walls but that was okay because I got to meet him in this life. I knew that now after meeting him once I could do anything because I would never be alone again. I had him by my side now and as long as I knew he was there nothing that lied ahead of me could scare me and make me want to go back again. I was content with how I lived my life up to now and yet I still wasn't really happy. All I could do was think about that boy and sad and lonely he looked before he noticed that I was there. Then I realized that I had fallen in love with this boy and I wanted nothing more then to see him smile and be able to stand proudly by his side and hold hands. I wanted nothing more then to see him again and finally learn his name but I knew that wouldn't happen at least not for awhile. Not for as long as I was taking this medication. This was the day I decided to stop being sick.
