"I won't look, Promise."

He put out his pinky and I shook it saying "You better not because I don't want people getting the wrong idea. I would also like it to not be tackled by one of your many hook ups."

"Is that what you think about me?"

"Alex, that's what everyone thinks. You sleep around. I can't blame you because you have so many women after you but I refuse to be one of them."

I felt bad for what I said mostly because of the look on his face. He looked like a scared little puppy.

"Say something Alex."

"It's true. I sleep around and yes I have never had a girlfriend. It's just who I am but it's not because I didn't want a girlfriend but because every girl I slept with didn't like me, they liked what I could give them."

I just stood then sorry I brought it up in the first place. I reach my hand to his cheek and move my thumb back and forth. I always saw him as an annoying player but now I can see there's more to him. I pulled my hand back saying "Turn around."

He smiled and did as I told him to. I took off the dress I was wearing and Pulled out one that definitely was not fifties themed. It was a light gray and had lace all over it shaped in little flowers.

"You can turn around."

As he turned around I felt so vanable and jet so comfortable.

"I love it."

It took forever to get through all the dresses and we left with five 10 dresses. We were walking to the shoe store when I knew something was wrong. I was going to puck.

"Hello Alex."

"Hello Gabriella."

I didn't have time for small talk.

"I am going to run to the bathroom. I'll meet you at the shop. Go ahead and pick things out, I'm a size 6."

"Okay. Are you good?"

"Yeah. I'll meet you there."

With that I ran to the bathroom this time it was not the mens.

After I was done throwing up and washing my face and hands I ran to the shoe shop.

When I reached it I saw a lost Alex looking around.

"You look like a lost puppy."

"Are they hot?"

I smiled and grabbed a pair of shoes that were like Cinderla shoes. They were clear and looked like they were made of glass. I tried them on and I looked at them and since they were clear I could wear them with everything.

"These are them."

As we left the shop I felt sick not like I'm going to throw up sick but sick sick. I knew that it could not be good. Because of the cancer I had such a weak immune system.

I looked at my phone, the time reading 6:00 p.m..

"I should go home now, Alex."

"Ok?"

When we finally reached my house I said thanks to Alex for a great time and ran inside. Mom and Dad were in the living room and they just looked at me.

"How was it?" Mom asked.

"Very nice. I was so happy. Happier than I have been in a while but now I need you to take me to the hospital." I say as I drop my bags.
