I met up with Caleb after I dropped krissy off with my mom. As I walked back into the familiar food court, I saw Caleb sitting at the same table we were at this morning.
I walked over to him and he stood up and held his arms out. I was guessing he wanted a hug so I gave him an awkward side hug. It just felt weird hugging him when I just met the guy.
After our awkward hug and we exchanged 'hellos' we sat down and sat in silence for a few seconds. Guessing Caleb noticed the silence, he broke it first.
"So may I ask why I saw you crying?" He asked with an evident expression of worry.
"Well..... I prefer talking about this somewhere more private" I said to him quietly.
"Anything to make you feel comfortable" he said with a shy smile. I smiled back in reassurance.
"Follow me." Caleb said and stood up. I was a bit hesitant at first but I followed him anyway.
As we kept walking we eventually found ourselves infront of metal corridors.
He pushed on the door and it opened to reveal the roof of the hospital. He turned around to look at me.
"I come here when I need to be away from everyone" he said this with so much lust and emotion. It made me smile.
"We can sit over here" he pointed to a flat metal box and led me over to it. As we sat down, I looked infront of me at the scenery.
I was in complete aw at what I saw. It was so beautiful. You could see all the lights and bulidings of the city.
"Thank you for taking me here" I said to Caleb and giving him a small hug, not feeling as awkward as I did earlier.
"Now, what was wrong earlier?" He asked me slowly.
"Well, first of all I have cancer. I'm gonna just put it as it is. I've been in this god damn hell hole for almost 5 months now, and I'm fighting this disease pretty hard. That little girl I was hugging is my half sister krissy and she's 7 and I was crying because she told me she doesn't want to lose me." I said with a single tear rolling down my pale face.
Caleb grabbed my hand and gave me a shy smile. "Your gonna make it through this." He said looking at me with caring eyes.

"I'm gonna try" I said to him and that was the last of our conversation.
