Jesse Falcon
Jesse Falcon
has dedicated his life to one cause: to fight against that which has taken so
much from him.
He’s learned
the hard way that if you want something to be done, you have to do it yourself.
No more
waiting for others to make a difference.
With
football, a pre-med program and a coveted internship, he has no time for
anything or anyone else. The truth is, he doesn’t think his barely healed heart
can take it.
Despite his
determination to remain distant, he soon finds a girl who will not only fracture
that resolve but shatter it completely.
Zoe Evans
Zoe Evans is
an average college student.
She has a
group of friends, and enough gossip lingers in the halls to make her days
interesting.
Her whole
world changes in a heartbeat though - one blackout, and a week-long fever
forces her into a battle she isn’t prepared to fight.
The odds are
stacked against her.
Will she have
the strength to prevail?

Prologue
Jesse
Falcon
Every time I near her door, I struggle to go
inside. I hate being in the hospital. The smell is a mixture of things, all
inescapable. The most prevalent is the jumble of two emotions—happiness and
sorrow. Some people laugh. Some people cry; it all depends on the day.
I force myself to stand outside her door for a
few more minutes. Who would’ve thought that I’d be here? Who would’ve thought
I’d be spending my afternoons in a hospital entertaining her while she fights
for her life? Not me. And I’m sure as hell she didn’t expect to be here either.
No one should expect to be here because no one
ever should.
Although my feet want to remain frozen, I take
a deep breath and force myself to knock. I wait a few minutes, but no one
answers. I press my ear to the door, hearing no noises coming from the other
side. Maybe she’s sleeping. I should come back another time, I tell myself, but
I know I’m just trying to find a reason not to go into that room. Instead, I do
what anyone in my position would do; I fight my cowardice, my desire to run
away.
I open the door and let myself in. I’m
immediately greeted by an empty space. Even for a hospital, it looks too
clinical. The bed is made, the machines have been put away, and the flowers
that were here yesterday are gone. There’s no sign that someone was here. No
sign that she had been here before.
Immediately,
I get the feeling that something is wrong.

Cancer.
That is the word ringing in my ears.
I have cancer.
Cancer.
Me.
I have it.
The word continues to loop like a bad
soundtrack in my mind. It’s on repeat, but I struggle to comprehend it. I hear
my mother’s cry and turn in her direction just in time to see my father
bringing his arms around her to keep her suddenly limp body from hitting the
ground. Her reaction is what tells me I’ve heard the doctor right.
I think back at how I ended up here. One
second, I was on the phone with my mother, telling her about this fever that
wouldn’t go away. Even with the fever, I remember telling her how excited I was
to finally get a break from school and spend my time with her and Dad. She kept
insisting I get myself to the hospital, but I refused. I thought it was
nothing…but it persisted. The fever didn’t go
away, so I finally decided to listen to my mother.
A fever. That’s all I thought I had, but I was
wrong.
I have Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia.
Leukemia.
Cancer.
Me.
I have it.
The rest of the doctor’s words are lost on me
as I feel as if I’m not really in my body anymore, I’m not in this room
anymore. Suddenly, I’m lightheaded and my vision blurs.
“Are you okay, Zoe?” I think I hear someone
say, but before I can answer, everything goes dark.
