Sequel: In Oceans Deep

Our Secret Place

Her

I should have told him. I should have told him that I was sick and that I was never going to get better.

Two days ago I left my parents. I said goodbye to them for the last time. I remember them crying because they knew. They knew that I would never be coming back. We had a really big fight beforehand. My mother wanted to be with me, to hold my hand when I passed. I told her that I didn’t want her to see me like that. I didn’t want him to either, but I chose him. I told her that he was the one. She just cried harder.

The plan was to spend my last few months with him doing everything I’d ever wanted, starting with it. I know it’s what everyone says, but I didn’t want to die a virgin.

But the pain now, I know I won’t make it. I can see it in his eyes. I will never see my parents again. And I won’t be able to stay with him forever. I don’t think I will make it past another day.

I’m so sorry, so so sorry.
