Ebony's point of view
I turn around to see a bloodshot eyed Brad walking over. He sits down next to me and wraps his arms around me pulling me into a hug avoiding the wire and planting a kiss on my forehead.
"I'm sorry I never told you" I whisper my voice breaking. Tears rolling down my face.
"It's okay" Brad whispers holding me close.
"Brad I'm scared" I cry into his chest. His grip around me tightening.
"I'm gonna be here for you every step of the way okay. Don't be scared" Brad adds I look at him and he places his hand on my cheek.
"But Brad" I say but I am interrupted.
"I'm going to be with you every step of the way" he says looking at me. I nod.
"Ok" I whisper. Brad wipes my tears that are falling down my cheeks with his thumb.
" Brad?" I ask him he nods looking at me.
"Yeah?" he asks intertwining our fingers.
" what if I die. I can't give you what you want. I can't give you a family. I won't be able to be your wife. I'm going to have no
Hair I'm going to be ugly" I say my voice breaking again.
"Don't you dare. You give me what I want every single day. You give me love. You make me feel loved you. You make me laugh. You make my day better just knowing your my girlfriend. Your the most beautiful girl in this earth with or without hair I will never stop loving you. Your going to get through this and we are going to have little babies running around I promise" brad says a tear rolling down his eye.
"I'm going to do everything to make sure your okay and you get better" Brad whispers leaning in until our lips meet the taste of tears in the mix I put my hand on brad's cheek as our lips move in sync. We both pull away and look at our bloodshot eyes.
"Thank you" I whisper Leaning into brad leaning my head on his shoulder. His hand intertwining with mine.
"Don't ever thank me" brad whispers
"We are in this together forever" brad says kissing my hand.
"Does the rest know?" I ask Brad he shakes his head.
"You need to tell them" brad says tracing circles on my hand.
"Will you be with me?" I ask him he nods.
"I'm not leaving your side Ebs" brad says.
I begin to shiver. Brad pulls me
Closer to him and reaches into his bag brining out a blanket. He wraps it around me. I look up at him thanking him my head still leaning on his shoulder. My eyes are starting to feel really heavy. It's like a wave of tiredness has just come over me.I was going to tell Brad I had brought a blanket to but I don't have any energy.
"It's okay go to sleep" brad whispers running his hands through my hair. I close my eyes to the feel of Brad tracing circles on my hand and his soft voice singing quietly going through all the songs of the new album. As I drift off to sleep.
Brad's point of view
I stop signing treading water I look down to see Ebony asleep soundly. Her mouth slightly open. A small sad smile forms on my face. I really don't want to loose her. I continue to trace circles on her hand that's intertwined with mine. I wish she had just told me. I hate the thought of her spending the last 5 days worried sick. I know her sister and Ethan and Gray would have been there for her. But I want to be there for her too.
I look down at Ebony again and notice sweat forming on her head. Worry fills my body. She is normally always freezing.
I move the blanket of Ebony. She stirs and her eyes open.
"Where are we?" She asks all confused but she sits up and looks around and up at the iv frown forming on her face.
" your really hot ebs" I say worriedly placing my hand on her burning forehead.
" I'm freezing" Ebony says as her teeth beginning to chitter. I pull her close to me again trying to give her some warmth. I look down at ebony her face in the crook of my neck her eyes closed again.
I reach for the buzzer the nurse said to press. Not long after pressing the nurse. Comes in.
"How she doing?" She asks softly looking to see Ebony snuggled up close to me.
"She is freezing but she is sweating" I say worriedly.
" she has got a fever which can be common with the chemo so there is nothing to worry about" the nurse says coming around to check the IV.
" Ebony" the nurse says but no answer.
"Ebs the nurse wants to speak to you" I say shaking her slightly.
"I'm so tired B" she groans sitting up. She wipes her eyes with her fingers the nurse gives me a sad smile.
" sorry Ebony" the nurse says
"No I'm sorry I'm being really rude" Ebony says in a panic.
" don't be so silly lovely" the nurse says giving her a smile.
"Im just gonna take your temperature" the nurse says placing the machine into ebony's ear. I look at Ebony and she is trying so hard to keep her eyes open. Bless her. I wish I could take all this away.
" 37.9" the nurse says writing down something.
"It's a bit high but it is normal with getting chemo so I have written it down and we will monitor it the next time you get your dose of chemo. You've got another half an hour and then you will be able to go home" the nurse says making Ebony smile slightly.
"Is there anyway I could just do all this at home instead of travelling all the time?" Ebony asks
"Yes I do normally do that so I can happily put you on the list" the nurse says and Ebony nods.
" what would your address be" the nurse asks Ebony looks at me.
"Your flat i move in with you and then you have Chloe and Eth and Gray around to" I say giving her a smile. Taking her hand in mine.
"Thank you" she says with a smile. She takes the piece of paper and writes the address down.
" ok I will go get this organised for you and will come back and turn this off and get you all unhooked" the nurse says we both thank her and she leaves the room. As soon as the door closes Ebony places her head back on my shoulder and closes her eyes.
The exhaustion has really just hit her. I'm really worried about her. I feel if I take my eyes off her I'm going to loose her.
