NEAR THE END

DISCLAIMER THIS STORY INCLUDES STUFF LIKE CANCER AND SELF HARM ALSO TALKS OF SUICIDE.

Cancer, Alex had Cancer. Alex couldn't believe what the doctor was telling her, she was heartbroken. Alex knew she could never tell Piper. The doctor said that Alex had only a couple of months to live. The Cancer spread so far around her body that she was too late. Alex dreaded for this day for years, she knew there was a chance she would get it sooner than later because of her father. Alex's father wasn't present in her life, he actually was the biggest asshole you could ever meet. Alex's father died of Cancer around the time the twins were born. Alex never told Piper about it because she didn't want to worry her about her getting Cancer, but here we are, years later, Alex now has Cancer and a couple of months to live. It was christmas in 2 months, Alex just hoped and prayed that she would stick around for christmas because she knew how much it meant to Piper. Alex and Piper planned to spend the whole of December back in Cornwall, uk to spend the christmas with their family. Alex couldn't bare to let Piper know about the Cancer, she couldn't bare for Piper to change into a different person, she knew that when the day came, when the day came to Alex dying, Piper would have to start grieving then. Alex didn't want Piper to start grieving while she was still alive, still with her. Alex loved Piper more than she loved anyone else, Alex fought for Piper, she won her back after she was with that stupid man called Larry. Alex cheated on her with Rose, how much she regretted that but she needed to do that to save her family. Alex regretted everything, Alex regretted leaving when Piper needed her, she regretted not doing all the things she promised to do. Alex regretted that she had to move her and her family away from America because of her own mistakes. Alex made a promise to herself that she would make these next few months the best months of Pipers life. Alex knew she had to keep that last promise. For now Alex wrote Piper a letter, a letter only Piper would read the day Alex died. Alex kept that later in her inside jacket pocket.

November 30th

"Everything is packed baby, we just need to call the uber now" Piper smiled and kissed Alex on the nose. It's been a couple of weeks now since Alex got the news, Piper had no clue but Alex was getting sicker and sicker, Alex blamed this on a fever and Piper didn't expect anything "Already called babe, the ubers outside baby" Alex smiled and gave Piper a passionate kiss. "What would I do without you, Mrs Vause, Eh?" Piper giggled kissing Alex back. Alex faked smiled at Piper because it broke her heart to hear that, to know that she was going to be without her in a short while. "You will be fine without me baby, you will carry on and you will be strong for the both of us" Alex now actually smiled at Piper "Yeah ok Alex, but i'm not without you so shut up" Piper slapped Alex's arm while giggling, picking up the bags. What Piper didn't realise is that every inch of Alex's body ached. Alex was coming up in bruises easier than she did before. Alex was starting to fade away and Piper had no idea. The woman arrived at the airport and waited to be called for their airplane. They checked in their bags and got some coffee. Their flight wasn't for another 2 hours so they decided to cuddle up in the lounges chair. What Piper didn't know was that Alex already arranged for their house to be already decorated and look like the north pole. Alex wanted this last christmas to be the best christmas, a christmas Piper could remember for the rest of her life. 2 hours past like it was nothing, time seemed to past recently like it was nothing, it was like time was trying to fade around her, Alex wanted to hold on to time but time was letting her go. This thought in Alex's mind made Alex start crying, Piper jumped up and wrapped her arms around Alex "Baby, whats wrong?" Piper was really worried about Alex recently, this fever was getting worse and she didn't know what she could do to help it, little did Piper know that this ''Fever" was never going to get better. "I'm sorry baby, you know christmas is hard for me, I never really had a good christmas growing up and I just love our christmases together" Alex held onto Piper "Anyway, Pipes, we need to board our plane" Alex got up and took Pipers hand. They walked to board their plane in silence. The flight wasn't too bad, it was only a 3 hour flight and then a 2 hour drive back to their home. Alex couldn't wait to see Piper's face when they got home.

December 1st

Piper and Alex just arrived home from all their traveling. Alex parked in the garage and Piper unloaded the car. Piper opened the door and instantly she dropped the bags and her jaw fell open. Piper couldn't believe her eyes, everything about the house was perfect. One huge tree, full of decorations, there was fake snow on the floor, which Piper adored. Lights brighting up the whole room, to say Piper liked it would be a understatement, Piper LOVED it. Piper turned round and jumped into Alex's arms "Thank you, Al" Piper began to cry, the last time their house looked like this was when the twins were little and they had them at home. With all the traveling through christmas now, Piper forgot how good christmas felt. Piper was cooking after for christmas for her children, wife, her children's partners and their grandchildren. Piper was more than excited for christmas. Alex and Piper were going out christmas shopping next week to get everyones presents. Everyone was spending christmas eve in their huge house, Piper needed to get all the rooms sorted for the stay, Piper couldn't wait for all the rush and all the excitement and noise. It was going to be like when they lived in America. Her brother and wife were coming over, with her two nephews and Alex's niece were coming over to spend christmas with them. There is going to be a total of 14 people staying in their house and Piper couldn't wait. Everything was going to be Perfect or so Piper thought, Alex didn't want it to destroy Pipers planned day.

December 7th

Piper and Alex got up super early to head out to London to go christmas shopping, it was a 5 hour drive but for both of the woman they knew that they didn't mind traveling. Everything about traveling made everything special. It was coming up for their 45th anniversary in a couple of days and they couldn't wait to go on a special date which Alex has been hiding from Piper but Piper knew there was something going on. The woman arrived in London at 12pm. It was only the afternoon so they decided to go to lunch before going shopping. Alex parked in a car park near the big shops and they walked hand and hand to get something to eat. Alex ordered a salad and Piper ordered a huge burger and a chocolate milk shake which made Alex laugh so she ordered one as well. After the woman were done eating it was around 1:15pm and they decided to start looking for christmas presents. Alex wanted to really fork out on everyone this year because she knew it was only weeks until she had to go. "Pipes, I know this is crazy but I want to buy the twins a car each, they deserve everything in this world and now they have their own family." Alex said smiling at Piper "Al, can we even afford to do that?" Piper looked concerned at Alex "We can afford to do anything for our children" Alex face Piper a kiss on the head "Come on, lets head over to the Range Rover store" Which both of the woman did. They decided to get both of them a family size range rover, one in white and one in grey. They were given a key each for them as they wanted to wrap it in a box and give them it. They organised for someone to drive both of the cars to their house at 10am on christmas morning as this was when they would be opening presents. The woman were so happy about what they bought them. The woman carried on getting presents for everyone, went ice skating and also went on a christmas boat, it was a perfect day and Alex couldn't ask for a better day. The drive home was done within a flash, hot chocolate and a christmas movie was all they needed to end a perfect day.

December 13th

Today was the day of Alex's and Piper's 45th anniversary. Alex packed the car and put a blindfold on Piper. Alex didn't want Piper to know anything that was going to happen. Alex couldn't wait to see Piper's face. The drive was only 2 hours. Alex stopped the car and helped Piper to get out. "Are you ready baby?" Alex smile was so huge it started to hurt "I'm always ready when its you baby" Alex took off Piper's blind fold. What stood in front of them was a old fashion cottage, with christmas lights and christmas decorations, everything about this was perfect. Piper turned around to look at Alex and started to kiss her. "I love you so much Al, this is perfect, just like you" Piper continued to kiss Alex and Alex opened the door. The woman made their way up the stairs, still kissing each other, so deeply in love with each other. Piper started ripping off Alex's clothes and threw her on the bed, she started bitting down her body leaving marks everywhere, this was making Alex moan very much. Piper took off Alex's underwear with her teeth and started kissing around the walls of her vagina, this made Alex tense, Piper loved teasing Alex, it was the most enjoyable thing ever. Piper started to suck her clit every slowly and this made Alex's back arch, Piper started sucking it a little faster now which was doing wonders for Piper. Alex held on to the sheets so tight she thought she was going to tear them. Piper started to lick Alex's clit really fast while slipping 2 fingers into her vagina hole "You have a very wet pussy Mrs Vause" Piper smirked at Alex while she was deep inside her "Shut up..oh god..Piper.." Alex moaned really loud and this was turning Piper on so bad. Piper frusted her fingers deep and fast inside Alex and this made Alex scream for mercy. Piper continued to lick and suck Alex clit and fuck her with her fingers "FASTER FASTER GO FUCKING FASTER BABY" Alex screamed while moaning loudly. Piper started to hit Alex's G spot and this was it for Alex, this is what Alex needed right now, to cum for the last time while she had the energy to. Without seconds Alex screamed and arched her back upwards "I'M CUMING PIPES" within that she came all over Piper's face, Alex thrusted her pussy on Pipers face. Piper licked Alex clean and started to kiss up her body again "You are a really naughty woman, you know that, Mrs Vause" This made made Alex laugh "Only for you Mrs Vause" Alex started kissing Piper deeply, they made love a couple of times that night, sweaty and hot sex.

December 24th

It was the day before christmas and Piper was started to prep for the christmas dinner. Their children and grandchildren were arriving later on, Alex's niece was already here and her brother was driving from the airport to their house. Everything was perfect, expect one thing. Alex was sick again from this fever, Piper hated when Alex was sick but Piper had to put a brave face on for all their family. Asher and Paris just arrived home again and was greeted by both of their mothers. Alex was feeling better now, much better. Which Piper believed but actually Alex was feeling even worse than she ever felt. Alex kept telling herself that she had to get through christmas for Piper's sake. Everyone gathered around the couches and they all were drinking hot chocolate and watching a christmas movie. Alex held Piper closed while they cuddled up together. Everything was perfect right now and the both woman couldn't ask for a better christmas eve.

December 25th

CHRISTMAS MORNING. It's beginning to look a lot like christmas..Everyone woke up at 9am and Piper was already making christmas breakfast. Alex woke up feeling really sick but she needed to make it through today for everyone. Alex could hear laugher and singing going on downstairs. Everything about today was perfect, everything that Alex hoped. Alex came down stairs and breakfast was getting served. Everyone finished eating and headed straight to the tree full of presents. Piper and Alex bought a bike, trampoline and quad bikes for all 4 of their grandchildren. They bought a quad bike and drum kits for both of their nephews. For the inlaws they bought perfume and watches. For Piper's brother it was a watch he really wanted but little did Piper know their was something else "Cal, I bought you and your wife something else" Alex pulled out a book and a key. "Welcome to your new house, its actually next door. We want you all to move here to England, 5 bedrooms and your own pool, what do you say?" Alex smiled at Cal and Cal ran into Alex's arms "Thank you Alex, You don't know what this means to me" Alex told Cal about her Cancer, she needed him here to look after her Piper while she packed everything up of hers when she passed on. Everything was perfect and now it was time for the twins presents. They both opened them and looked confused at the key "Our babies, we love you so much so have this car from us, love your mothers xo" The twins looked at each other and ran outside, they couldn't believe their eyes, they were perfect. Both of their children ran into their mothers arms and started crying. "THANK YOU SO MUCH, YOU ARE THE BEST 2 MOTHERS EVER!" both of the twins said. It was now time for dinner, Piper has been cooking all day and Alex adored that. Every year when the children were little Alex would stand up to make a toast and this year Alex got to relive that moment again. Alex stood up and started tapping her glass. Everyone turned to look at her smiling "Today is one of Piper's favourite day, its a day of forgiveness, a day of joy, but for all things, its a day of love. I love you, Mrs Piper Vause and I want you to know.." Within that moment it was like Alex's life flashed before her eyes. The day she banged into Piper again in the club, to the moment Piper said she loved Alex still, to the moment Alex got down on one knee, their wedding day and when the twins were born. Everything in Alex's life was perfect, everything went to plan and something in her knew it was time to let go. Within seconds Alex collapsed to the floor and Piper jumped out of her chair and dived onto the floor. Everyone started screaming and crying. Piper held Alex looking into her eyes, everyone was just background right now "Baby, please don't go. I know, the doctor rang 2 months ago about your Cancer, I was trying to be strong for the both of us baby" Tears fell from Piper's eyes "It's time for me to go now baby" Alex coughed up blood "It's time for you to be brave, can you be brave for me?" Alex said in a struggling voice "I can't be strong without you Al" More tears were falling down her eyes "You have to be strong baby, I love you Piper Elizabeth Vause, I will always love you, don't forget that love is pain and love sometimes needs to let go. I can't live forever but you can carry on my name, Never forget me, Pipes. Move on, find someone you can give your love to because your love taught me that if you love something you can fight as long as you want and sometimes you will get what you want, let me go" Tears fell from Alex's eyes while she was coughing up even more blood now "Please don't leave me" Piper held Alex's body close sobbing her heart out. Alex reached into her pocked with whatever strength she had left and pulled out her letter for Piper "Its time for you to read this and Never forget me" Alex gave Piper a kiss and was struggling to breath even more now. Piper took the letter off Alex and herd her close to her body "Please don't leave me, not now" With that Alex took took her last breath and Piper could feel Alex's spirit leave her body. Piper screamed the house down while holding Alex. Piper was screaming and crying while she held her wife in her arms. The ambulance arrived and checked Alex over and said that sadly she pasted away. This made Piper scream even more now, Piper sat their holding Alex close to her body crying. Piper didn't want to let her go when they arrived to take her body away. Piper try to fight off everyone that came close to Alex's body. Cal had to call the police to help him get Piper off Alex. Finally they pulled Piper away from Alex's lifeless body "I WILL NEVER FORGET YOU MRS VAUSE" Piper shouted to Alex's body. Piper ran up stairs and locked her door. Piper slid down the door and opened Alex letter with tears rolling down her face.

"To my darling wife, I can't believe this day has came when I am no longer in your arms, they probably have just taken me away and you have locked yourself in our room and you are crying, but you don't have to lock yourself away from everyone, they are here to help you baby. I'm sorry that I had to go but I need you to know that I love you so much and I am always with you pipes, no matter where you are. I am always with you Pipes, Now I want you to search a song for me, its called ''Chord Overstreet - Hold On'' (I would listen to this song while reading this letter from Alex) Every time you feel alone or like you feel like you are breaking then listen to this song and I will forever be with you. I want you to remember that time we met again in the club, that time I knew that you still loved me, even after 10 years apart, I just wish we didn't miss them 10 years we were apart. I know you probably hate me for not telling you about the Cancer but I just wanted to protect you from all the hurt, I know that you are probably broken right now but I know that you can get through this without me. You done it for 10 years so I know that you can do it now. I love you Piper, so its time to move on again. With or without me, I know that you are the strongest woman I know, I know you can let me go because soon we will be together again, holding each other by the hand, holding each other like it was the first time we fell in love. Come back home when you're ready. I love you"

Tears were falling down Pipes eyes, Piper knew she couldn't do it without Alex, she was ready to go home, to go with Piper forever. Piper couldn't go through what she went through 10 years ago because Piper never really go over Alex leaving, she would cry, cut and drink every single night for 10 years until she met Alex again in the club. It was time for Piper to be with her one true love forever now. With that Piper picked up the pills and the bottle of vodka. Piper started taking the pills and drinking the vodka. Piper planned this day the moment she found out Alex had cancer. Piper swallowed the 33rd pill now and drank the last sip of vodka. Piper laid down on the bed, she wasn't feeling right. Piper knew she was dying, the pills were doing what they were meant to be doing, Piper knew she had to go home. "I'm coming home baby.." With that Piper closed her eyes and James Arthur - Say you won't let go started playing. Everything started to flash back, the way she felt when she seen Alex again in the club, the day they got married and the moment she gave birth to their twins. When Piper opened her eyes again, she was wearing that tight dress again, she walked forward and a tall, dark hair woman wearing a leather jacket and dr martins came walking towards Piper "I'm so inlove with you, I hope you know that, No matter what now, we are young again and together forever, nothing can take this part." Piper and Alex started kissing holding each other walking into the light to their happily ever after.
