front door.

 

I saw snow falling down.

 

"Oh my god father, it's snowing. I haven't seen this much snow since the last time I was in Russia. Isn't this great." I said smiling.

 

 

Dad stood in the middle of the driveway.

 

Silence overwhelming my response.

 

 

"Dad what's wrong?" I asked.

 

I neared him, as he stood far away from me.

 

"Bella. You know I wouldn't make you do things you never want to do right?" 

 

"Right." I say.

 

 

"So can you tell me, what this paper means, that I found in your room."

 

Dad shot out out a piece of paper to me.

 

 

"Go ahead, read it." he said.

 

I could hear the stillness in his voice, my own hands began to shake.

 

 

I took the piece of paper and read it.

 

It was my latest update, from my test results on curing my lung cancer.

 

How did he find this?

 

 

"Dad, why would you go through my stuff like that!" I said.

 

"Enough!" he interuppted me.

 

"I will leave you alone as soon as you tell me, what is written on the paper."

 

 

My heart sank and my throat ran dry.

 

I felt sweaty.

 

I did promise Elle that I would tell him, before he leaves.

 

 

"Okay, dad, don't get mad. It's something you'll have to live with, and if I survive, it'll all be worth it."

 

Dad looked at me confused. "What do you mean survive?"

 

 

I had to tell him sooner or later.

 

And if the time is now, i'll do it for me.

 

"Dad for the past few months....I've had....I have....lung cancer."

 

 

Dad's eyebrows rose up, his eyes widened.

 

"What do you mean, you have lung cancer?" his voice boomed

 

I replied. "I do. I just do."

 

 

"My daughter had lung cancer and she did not tell me? When and for how long?" he beamed.

 

I struggled to reply. "Since august ,dad."

 

 

He was startled and started walking around to comply his thoughts.

 

He didn't speak for a while.

 

"Who else knows?" he says.

 

 

"No one else other than you, even Mark."

 

 

"Good, because I need you to pack up your things. Wer'e going back to Russia."

 

"What, no!!" I yelled, as loud as I can.

 

 

"You can't take me back, I live in Manhattan now. It's my home now, where me and Mark live. You can't take me back to Russia!"

 

 

I yelled so loud, I heard my voice echo in the area behind my house.

 

"Enough. You pack for Russia right now. Tonight. And you'll get special treatment there, this time I won't lose the one person who I have left."

 

 

"I'm the only person you have left? What about my 6 brothers, they need you."

 

"It is not your business to talk about my sons like that!" he interuppted.

 

 

I grew mad and spoke back stepping closer to him.

 

"Yes, yes I do. And my brothers need you. I'm still gonna live here in New York, whether you like it or not. And plus, I'm getting good treatment here and if you take me away, it'll only disrupt the process."

 

 

"Then i'll have no one to depend on. Just like you mother." he said.

 

 

"Excuse me about my mom, surviving and fighting for her life. When she died from lung cancer. And to even think about telling you, I had to, eventually. Millions of people all around the world have the same problem as me and i'll survive just like the others."

 

 

I sighed before countinuing.

 

"But you think this is fun and games, thinking i'll die just like mom. She lived a good life and when I got lung cancer, I didn't think once about dying and seeing mom sooner than I thought. I wanted to fight back and now i'm beating cancer. So whether you like it or not ,i'm going to survive and i'm gonna live. I won't give the satisfaction of being like mom, because I won't. I love her too.

 

 

I felt tears run down my face.

 

I had to get all of my feelings out.

 

I'm not gonna make my dad take me back.

 

 

"So make your choice, stand by my side and fight this with me or leave my life forever and never come back here. I hate you, even more then when you told me and my brothers that mom was gone, because you chose to risk saving her life and it ended up killing her faster instead. You have the right mindset, but you went too fast. That's what killed mom."

 

 

It was always his fault for everything.

 

I never saw dad the same again after today.

 

 

Finally, I let out a huge breath of air.

 

It took all my might and memories to tell him off like that.

 

"It's your choice, make the right descion and put this behind us, or you'll watch you're daughter die in front of your eyes." I say.

 

  

"Bella, I could never let you do that." he said concerend.

 

"Watch me."

 

 

I took out the knife I had stashed in my coat.

 

In case, giving the news to my dad meant risking my own life.

 

"You keep this secret to yourself, don't tell anyone. Not even my brothers, otherwise i'm gonna be hugging mom in less then 3 minutes from now."

 

 

My dad stood there, for a while.

 

He sighed. "Okay fine, I won't tell anyone. But you're going back to Russia with me."

 

 

"No," I replied, my tears beginning to fall again.

 

He rushed inside.

 

I yelled after him. "You can't make me go!!"

 

 

I dropped the knife I had pointed to my stomach.

 

I broke into tears, I sobbed a few times but eventually I stopped.

 

 

Rikki and Elle came out, from inside.

 

"We heard your dad yelling and telling everyone to leave. What happened out here Bella?" Rikki asked approaching me slowly.

 

"Yeah what happened Marybella?" Elle asked.

 

 

I turned around, and faced Elle and Rikki.

 

"My dad wants to take me back to Russia."

 

 

Elle and Rikki both looked at each other, concerned.

 

They both gave me a hug, and then Mark came rushing to my side.

 

"And he was saying things, I can't understand. He said your name a couple times. Is everything alright?" Mark asked, concerned.

 

"Yeah, i'm fine. But my father isn't." I said, hugging Mark.  

 

 

We all went back inside.

 

Before I had a chance to open the front door, everyone ran out scared and screaming.

 

 

"Great my father scared away my friends and co-workers." iIsaid.

 

 

Now i'm really mad.

 

I had to end this once and for all.

 

 

We all went inside and saw my father carrying his things, as he came down the stairs.

 

 

"Great you're leaving and why'll you're at it, never come back to the U.S. for as long as i'm fighting to stay alive." I said to dad.

 

Elle, Rikki and Mark looked at me concerned.

 

 

"You wouldn't do that to your own father." Mark said softly.

 

"I just did." I said glancing at him.

 

 

"Fine, i'll leave, but just to let you know. I'll be back....and for a good reason." he finally says.

 

He turned around towards the door.

 

"I'm sorry Marybella, I didn't mean for this to happen."

 

 

A part of me wanted him to apologize and forgive me, but part of me wanted dad to leave.

 

 

"Just leave." I said flat out.

 

 

I pointed to the door with my fingers shaking.

 

He left and I never looked back to see him.

 

 

I've never felt so mad in my entire life. To yell at me dad like that, and as if he was going to come back.

 

  

I called it a night and everyone went home.

 

 

I'm gonna fight this lung cancer and i'm going to survive.

  

Even if I die in the end, I know i'll  be for a good reason.

 

And to protect everyone from worrying about me.

 

 

Chapter Fifthteen: Shots Fired

 

Elle's P.O.V

 

 

The ball is about to drop in 3.....2.....1

 

"Happy New Year!"

 

 

The crowd cheers and kisses are going around.

 

Just then someone tapped me on the shoulder.

 

 

I woke up to my alarm clock and it buzzed in my ear.

 

Jacob blinked a few times before getting up.

 

 

I looked at him smiling.

 

"Same new year's dream?" he said.

 

"Yep." I say.

 

 

"It's been 3 months since new year's Elle, and that dream is never gonna go away?" he asked.

 

 

"No, and I can't wait until April. It's when i'm gonna announce my blogs to the media and claim myself. People know me for it. People love me for it. It's my life." I said dramatically.

 

 

I got up from bed, and dressed.

 

"Hey that reminds me, are you coming to the event in April?"

 

"Unfortunatly,....I will. Because the day you announce, is also the day I come back from one of my yearly meetings." Jacob responds.

 

 

"Okay, and promise me that if I don't make it there, or if i'm not there on time, please speak on my behalf." I say.

 

I brushed a couple knots from my hair.

 

"Of course." he said, getting ready to go downstairs.

 

 

A few minutes later, i'm down the stairs. too

 

 

"Alright i'm leaving for work, bye." I said.

 

 

I left out the door, before he could say anything else.

 

I turned around and saw Marybella in the driveway, with her car.

 

"Hey Marybella!" I say.

 

 

She got out of her car and walked towards me.

 

"Elle did you forget that i'm driving you to work?" she asked, leaning on the car.

 

 

"Yes I did." I said raising my hands, looking guilty.

 

"Well come on, we need to get to work." she said ,unlocking the passenger seat door. 

 

--

 

I walked past the glass doors and saw Sara back in work again.

 

It's actually been a while since I we've talked personally at work.

 

 

"Alright people let's get to work, spring is upon us and we need to get our magazine out in almost 1 month. Let's do this." Lauren yelled.

 

 

I could hear her voice booming over the new interns.

 

 

"Hey Lauren." iIsaid walking towards her.

 

"Hey Elle." Lauren, embraced me.

 

 

"I'll see you at lunch." I said turning to Marybella.

 

"See you then." Marybella said, before heading off to her office.

 

 

"So Elle, we have new upcoming interns for next year and their visiting in the month of March. So everyone, especially you, be on your best behavior." Lauren interuppts.

 

 

Lauren walked to her office, leaving me to think.

 

All the interns were following Rikki around, when my attention was caught again.

 

I saw some interns talking to Sara.

 

 

"So we'll stay here and distract everyone till you get back." one intern said.

 

"Till who gets back?" I asked interuppting.

 

 

"Nothing, just talking with the new interns here. Sara was talking about how much work it is, working for you." one intern said.

 

Another one spoke. "Yeah! and since Sara's about to go from an intern to an assitant, i'd like to apply as your intern next year."

 

She had a big smile on her face.

 

 

"Why do you want to apply for FARELLE next year?" I said.

 

"Because i'll have the money to apply then, i'm currently earning the money right now." she says.

 

 

"Alright, let's go to the design department." I heard Rikki said in the distance.

 

She went with the other interns ,to where Rikki was standing.

 

"Bye Elle." she said smiling.

 

 

I knew for a moment there, that when she smiled at me, she was gonna get a chance to work here.

 

"As you were, Sara. We have lots to do before we send out the spring cover this year." I say.

 

Sara nodded, and got back to work.

 

 

I walked off to Lauren's office, while Sara was with the others working on the cover.

 

"Yes I know!" Laurenyelled into a phone.

 

 

"Hey Lauren, just walking in." I say.

 

"Hey Elle, what is it you need?" she asked happily.

 

 

"Walk with me." I said politely.

 

"First time I heard you say that. Makes you sound like a boss." she said smiling, following me.

 

"I need you to get the girl who Rikki' is showing around, to work here at FARELLE." I said.

 

 

"Who, and which one?" she asked looking around.

 

"That one, the girl with the brownish highlight
