Last Night, Good Night

"Alex?" I say loud enough to wake him.
"Hm?" Alex's replies to me.
"Why do you have to die so young? I love you too much to let you go so soon. I wish this lung cancer wouldn't be in you." I feel hot tears of frustration roll down my face.
His eyes snap open.

"What's happening?" Tanya seemed to know though. My tears turned into sobs. Alex's father,Bob, took me out of the room.
"Please God NO!!!" I pleaded. "Don't take him away from me." I hugged my knees, sobbing uncontrollably
