Life is never what we intend it to be. Unexpected events occur and pull us away from what we plan.My life was headed down a path I was settling with. That was until I was told I had cancer.But then he changed my life even more. Just when I accepted my fate, I found myself wanting him, wanting everything I never thought I had. Because of him, I found myself Fighting to Stay.

Author Note: Story inspired by my son's battle everyday (so many others who fight similar battles). There is one sex scene, but very mild and not too descriptive. There are few moments that I can look back in my life and not see her. She’d been a part of my life from the moment my parents bought the house next door. She was my best friend. But things changed. We got older. Our friendship changed. We fell in love. My life with Jessa Rawlins would prove to be the best life I could ever dream of. It will always show me how truly far and hard I could fall. Nothing was boring with Jessa in my life. And I’d take her no other way… Well, maybe other than here…**
