Right now I'm sitting in a hospital room. Something i'm used to by now. I've got leukemia. It's not to bad but every now and then I have to go to the hospital. The thing that sucks is that I have one of those big rooms that two people stay in. At first I didn't have to share with anyone which was great but the nurse told me that I was gonna have to share with some guy. So right now I'm reading a book waiting to find out who my roommate will be. After about thirty minutes of waiting the nurses pushed in a bed with him in it. He was loudly laughing and the nurses were rolling their eyes.

"Ohh I get a roommate? Cool!" He had a cast on his left arm and bruises on his face and right arm. The nurses got him situated and then left. It's very quiet. I can feel him staring at me.

"Why are you staring at me?" I asked continuing to read my book.

"You." I looked up at him and he smiled. "What's you're name doll?"

"(Y/n)."

"Well (Y/n). My name is Keith but you can call me Two-Bit." He laughed.

"I like Keith." I smiled. He stared at me for a minute then smiled again.

"Okay. You can call me Keith then." I smiled at him. "And you should be flattered! I don't let anyone call me Keith!"

"Well thank you for giving me the honor of calling you Keith." I laughed. "So what happened to you?"

"I was in a rumble."

"Oh. Greaser or Soc?"

"Greaser. Apparently I'm not aloud to have hair grease in the hospital." He said loudly as one of the nurses passed by. She groaned and continued to walk. "What about you?"

"I'm in the middle."

"Well aren't you a lucky duck." He smiled. I went back to reading my book and the room went back to silence. It wasn't like that for long. After about five minutes a loud group of boys came in. I'm guessing they're Keith's friends. They all came in saying their hellos.

"How's your arm?" One picked up his arm and dropped it.

"Ow! What the hell Steve?" Keith yelled.

"Any hot nurses?" Asked the one with the leather jacket.

"No." Keith complained.

"At least you got a hot roommate." He smirked. I looked up and glared at him.

"Leave her alone." Keith rolled his eyes.

"How ya doin' Two?" The big one sitting down asked. He obviously kept those boys in control.

"I'm fine." Two smiled. The others finally quiet down some and were talking to him.

"I'm goin' to get somethin' from the vending machine. Want somethin' Two?" The quiet one with dark hair asked.

"Nah I'm good. Want anything (Y/n)?"

"Huh?" I said looking up from my book. "Oh no thanks." I smiled.

"Are ya sure? I'll make them get you somethin'." He smiled. God that smile.

"I'm sure." I laughed. The quiet one left and the younger one went with him. My mom ran into the room right as they went out.

"Honey!" She smiled and kissed my forehead.

"Hey mom." I smiled.

"Guess what." She said excitedly.

"What?"

"It's gone!" I didn't believe her at first but her face said it was the truth.

"How?" I asked just as excited.

"They don't know. They said its a miracle! They wanna keep you one more night though. They said they wanna make sure you have all your energy and they wanna take a couple tests and see if they can find out how it went away." I hugged her as if I hadn't seen her in years.

"Okay. Just one more night." I smiled.

"Yes and I'll come get you after work. Which is where I need to go right now. I love you and I'll see you tomorrow." She kissed my forehead again.

"Love you too." I say and she left. I looked over and saw all the boys staring at me. Awkward.

**Two-Bits POV**

"I don't k ow what happened but I'm very excited for you!" I yelled and smiled at her.

"I just found out I'm cancer free." She smiled. I jumped out of the bed and hugged her.

"That's great!" Sodapop smiled at her.

"Yeah. It is." I stood up and we continued to talk.

"Why is your bed closer to the TV?" I complained.

"I don't know." She replied. I turned the TV on to see what was on.

"Hey it's Mickey." I smiled. "Scoot over." She laughed and moved over. I got in the bed and put my arm around her shoulder. The rest of the boys had to go cause they got work and school tomorrow.

"When are they letting you leave?" (Y/n) turned and asked me.

"Umm I don't know. They said they'd tell my mom when she came." And as if on cue in walked my mom following a nurse.

"Mr. Matthews. Get in your bed." She groaned. I don't think the nurses like me. Oh well.

"But I can't see the TV from there?" I whined.

"Well I'm sorry but you're going to have to move." The nurse said. "And Ms. (Y/l/n) you need to rest tonight. So please do not read until three in the morning again."

"I didn't know you were a rebel." I laughed.

"I didn't choose the rebel life the rebel life chose me." She stated.

"Mr. Matthews!" The nurse said.

"I'm goin'." I got out of (Y/n)s bed and back into mine. "Great now I can't see the TV."

The nurse rolled her eyes and my mom smiled.

"There letting you out tomorrow. I'll have to come pick you up." She smiled and sat down by my bed. "How you feelin' honey?"

"I'm fine." I smiled. "Just a little sore."

"I brought you some food." She handed me a Dairy Queen bag. "And when they called they told me you'd be sharing a room so I got her something too. I didn't know if she ate yet." She walked over and handed it to (Y/n).

"Thank you! You didn't have to though." (Y/n) smiled and hugged my mom.

"Well I didn't know if you had eaten yet and the hospital food isn't to great."

"I haven't. Thank you."

"You're welcome sweetie." My mom smiled and came back over to me.

"Do I need to pay you back?"

"No it's fine." My mom sat down. I ate and talked to my mom and (Y/n). (Y/n) just fell asleep but I couldn't help but stare at her.

"You like her don't you?" My mom cut in.

"What? No!" I lied.

"Don't lie to me! I know that look." My mom laughed.

"Yeah I like her." I laughed.

"Well that's good." She smiled. "I have to go. I'll see you tomorrow."

I went to sleep planning on how to ask her out in the morning.

When I woke up I saw that (Y/n)s mom already picked her up. I sighed but then I saw a sticky note on my cast.

'I had a good time talking to you Keith. You were pretty cool. Call me sometime? ***-***-****.'

I smiled. Of course I'm gonna call her!
