Breathe Just Breathe

JACK POV

I watch as Lilly looks at me with a question in her eyes and she wants to know how I feel. But the problem with that is that I can not tell her how I feel because I do not want to make her worry even more.

I have to be strong for her and give her the answer that she needs to hear. I have to think carefully about what to say because she knows me very well.

"Baby, I can not lie. I am scared. I am scared that you are going to die but I also know that you would do everything you can to stay alive..."

I walk closer to her and then take the back of my hand to caress her cheek.

"...and I will pray that you will be healthy again"

LILLY POV

I know very well that he is lying and that he just wants to make me feel better. He has never been someone that looks on the bright side as he had to fight to look away from the negative for so long. But I take his answer to heart as I appreciate his attempt.
