new neighbors are weird //Paddy Holland

4: The prom

After some weeks ( 3 or 4 weeks ) we started treatment.

Thankfully they let me go home with some supervision.

SOME TIME LATER (A FEW MONTHS LATER)

I was always tired etc so I usually stayed in my bed.

I was watching a Netflix series when I decided to text Paddy.

Me:
Heyyy

Padss:
Heyy

Me:
Wanna go on a walk?
I'm going to go see puppiesss (at
the shelter)

Padss:
Sure! Sounds cool

I got up, put my beanie on and changed into some casual clothes and went to see Paddy.

I went up to Paddy's room and knocked on the door, no one answered so I thought he might have gone to sleep again so I entered.

As I entered I saw Paddy sitting on his bed, phone in hand and a sad look on his face

-Hey? What's wrong- I said as I sat next to him

-She... She uh... She dumped me...?- He said and looked at me with confusion and sadness written all over his face

Oh... I ... Didn't expect that...

There were a few seconds of uncomfortable silence and me trying to get words out of my mouth but...

-She hates me- He said, looking at the floor

-hey... Look at me...- I said

He looked up at me, his green eyes looking into my blue ones...

-if she dumped you, well, she's missing out... You're an incredible person Paddy, no matter what anyone says or does no one will make me believe otherwise and if that girl couldn't see that you're so special and sweet then her loss, she doesn't deserve to have such a good friend or boyfriend for that matter... Ok?- I said

-Ok-he sniffed

-Come on, let's go see some puppies huh?- I said, which made him smile

-Whats up with the beanie?- He asked, as we walked to the door

-Oh... Yeah... Bout that... You know that thing about cancer patients normally loosing their hair...? That's.. happening to me too... - I said

-Oh... I'm sorry...- He said

-no worries- I said

-actually... I got an idea...- he said

I looked at him confused

-come with me- he said

I followed him as he lead me to his bathroom.

He went into a drawer and took out a razor, the type you would have to cut your hair.

-if you want... You can take your beanie off... I can help you...- he said

I smiled weakly and took it off, more hair had fallen.

I took a deep breath

-ok... Get it over with...- I laughed

*Paddy pov*

I knew this was difficult for Mads so I did something without really... Thinking it through...

I got the razor and plugged it in, she closed her eyes tight.
