"Hope, dear I don't think that it's the right decision for you. I know you need to take all the medicines on time maybe..."

"Dad stop please" I interrupted him. We've already had this talk 100 times I couldn't really hear it again.

"We've already talked about this, I've been homeschooled all my life because of this f*****g illness, but I'm older now and I can take care of myself. I want to live like every other people."

His eyes saddened and at my words. I know he was worried about me. He's never left me alone. My whole life there's always been just me and him. Now he had to leave America and go to London to look after his company.

Suddenly, the doorbell rang.

"I'll get that!" I told him and went to open the door.

"Hello miss. Are you Hope Cameron?" asked the young man standing at the door, holding an envelope.

" Yes, I am. I said waiting for him to say who he was.

"I'm from hospital Miss Cameron. Here are the results of your analysis."

"Oh thanks," I said, taking the envelope out of his hands.

"You're welcome," he said with a smile and left.

I closed the door and noticed my father, who was coming towards me.

"Who was that?" He asked me, but I hid the envelope behind my back. he shouldn't have found out about that. Maybe it was nothing special, but he would have started warring about me and maybe would delay going to London and I didn't want him to have problems because of me.

"Just some guy, who was looking for our neighbor's house."

"Oh, ok. I'm gonna go pack my stuff then." He said with a smile and went upstairs when I decided to go to the living room and open the envelope.

"Please... I hope it's not what I think." I whispered to myself.

I've had Leukemia since I was 6. Half of my life I've spent in different hospitals, sometimes in England, sometimes in America. So finally I couldn't defeat cancer, but it became weaker enough for my body to handle it. Of course, I've been taking medicines every day.

But now, I didn't think everything was okay. I haven't been feeling well last few weeks, that's why I thought that the cancer was getting stronger again...

I slowly opened the envelope, inhaled deeply and looked at the results.

"No..." It felt like my heart stopped beating for a few seconds.

It was really happening... The result we're bad... Really bad. But I couldn't say anything without talking to my doctor.

I looked at the clock. It was 2 am. Well, the perfect time for going out. I had to breathe some fresh air.

So I went upstairs to check, whether my father was sleeping or not. After assuming that he was deeply asleep, I put on a hoodie, because it was raining outside and went straight to my favorite park, which was not far away from my house.

"What does that mean? What do you think you're doing Natalie?!" I yelled at my girlfriend, who was looking at me with a shocked face.

"Dany, it's not what you think!" She tried to calm me down, but I was too mad. How could she?

"So it's not my girlfriend cheating on me with my greatest enemy?" I yelled again loudly.

"Oh stop, please." Tyler started talking sarcastically. Yes, Tyler Anderson. My greatest enemy and the guy Natalie has been cheating on me with. "Don't you think it's too boring for her to be with a cripple like you all the time?" He said with a smirk on his face.

I knew what he was talking about. It was the trauma I got when I was 7. Since then my leg has been injured. It will always be this way. I can walk properly, you can't even notice it. But the worst thing is that I can never play football again. I couldn't imagine my life without football, but I've been living like that for 10years already.

Tyler knew that this was my weak spot, so he has been hitting it every time when he wanted to piss me off.

"You son of a b***h!" I yelled. Then attacked him and punched him hard in his nose.

He wiped the blood off in pain, looking at me with a death glare. I punched him harder in the face. He fell on the ground groaning in pain, while Natalie was standing there with her mouth wide open in shock.

I just opened the door and stormed out of the house madly, slamming the door behind me.

It was too late already. The raindrops were falling on my face heavily, but I didn't care. I was walking in the streets with my clothes soaking wet, not knowing where to go.

Suddenly I saw a little park and decided to go there.

*****

I always enjoyed walking along the streets when it was raining. The sound of raindrops and my own footsteps could always calm me down. It has always been the best way for me to reach my heart and feel it's emotions when I felt lost. No one could interrupt me.

Now I was doing the same thing, walking along the park, thinking about everything. But this time my thoughts were interrupted when I saw a girl with a huge black hoodie, sitting alone on the grass, staring at the shining moon. Her clothes were all wet, but that didn't seem to disturb her.

"Sitting alone here, in the middle of the night isn't safe." I said looking at her, waiting for her answer.

"Are you a maniac?" She asked calmly, without even turning around to face me.

I chuckled at her question.

"Well, I'm' not, but-" My words were cut off by hers. "Then it's safe."

Her calm tone made me smile. Her personality looked kinda interesting and without even thinking, I decided to go on with the conversation.

"But still... Why are you here?" I asked curiously, staring at her huge hoodie, willing to see her face.

"I don't know. I'm starting a new life from tomorrow, so I decided to say goodbye to the old one."

"That's why you're here?" I asked chuckling. "Couldn't you say goodbye to it at home?" I continued sarcastically.

"Am I bothering you?" She asked, turning her head in my direction. It was too dark already so I couldn't see her face properly, just a pair of brown eyes shining in the moonlight, looking at me, waiting for my answer.

"No, it's not like I'm bothered by your presence-" I started explaining, but she cut me off again.

"You just wanted to be alone..."

Yeah, she was right. I really wanted to stay alone, think and yell my anger out. But I already said that I wasn't bothered by her company.

"Someone hurt you, right?" She asked me, looking up at the moon again, raindrops falling on her face, causing her eyes shut.

"How do you know? Is it that obvious?" I was surprised. How could a stranger read my thoughts like this?

"I can read it in your eyes. " She said looking at me again, her lips curling up in a small smile.

"Eyes?"

"We try to hide our feelings, but we forget that our eyes speak. They tell more than words could ever say. "

I was impressed by her words.No, not only words, I was impressed by her. She looked so strange and weird, but so unique and clever at the same time. And her eyes shining in the moonlight with the raindrops streaming down her face... She was amazing.

"Y'know what?" She said, bringing me back from my thoughts. "You're right. It's too late already. I should get going."

Seriously? Why would she leave me right now, when I was enjoying her company that much.

She stood up to leave, but I stopped her.

"Wait. You're gonna leave without even telling me your name? I'm Daniel, Daniel Stevens."

Hope's Pov

Wow... That was unexpected. My mouth hung open when I heard that name. Daniel Stevens... So many memories appeared in my head.

Was it just a coincidence? What if he was the same Daniel Stevens I promised to meet 10years ago? The little boy, who taught me staying strong no matter what. What if he was here, after 10years, standing in front of me, waiting for me to introduce myself.

"My name doesn't matter. I will recall this meeting if we will ever meet again. Goodbye Daniel Stevens. It was nice to meet you." I said waving at him.

"Take care, rain girl." Said chuckling.

I smiled at the weird nickname, looked at his face one more time, (which I couldn't see properly, because of the darkness) and walked away, hoping that it wasn't the last time I met Daniel Stevens...
