"She has cancer"
I freeze.
I let out a snort, "nice joke" I point at him, he doesn't laugh he is completely still, "don't play with me,Taylor" and for the first time I wish he is making his usual jokes.
He shakes his head, "it's not a joke" he mumbles.
For a moment my heart stopped.
"I am sorry, I am so sorry, I was not supposed to say this-" I cut him off, "since when?" I ask, "not a long time, but-but she is in a good state at least she is not going bald or staying in the hospital".
"Your lying" I comment, he looks down at his hands, he is not lying...
"No,no" I shake my head, I move my hands trying to express myself but I have no words, I have a lot to say but nothing to say at once.
"What type of cancer?" I ask still not convinced, he clears his throat "Lymphoma" he breathes out.
"Taylor please I am begging you tell me this is a joke, I won't get mad I promise" I say with a low voice, he shakes his head letting me know it's the ugly truth.
Tears make their way down my face unconsciously.
I can't believe him.
I can't.
I look at him he is not smiling, not laughing not making his stupid jokes, this is no good sign.
he is serious, and I wish he wasn't.
And suddenly I have a whole universe in my mind.
When?how?why?Lymphoma? Does her mom know about this?why was she hiding it from me? Does Leo know?
So many questions running like a marathon in my mind, I don't know where or how to start.
His silence is telling the truth.
I get up gradually making my way to the door, not knowing what to do anymore.
Because now I feel expressionless and complete emptiness.
I make my way upstairs not knowing if I should go to Maya's room or just head wherever I am supposed to go.
I stand still for a couple of seconds looking between the 2 rooms which are not so far from each other.
I make my way to Maya's room, speechless.
I knock and the door, I wait for an answer this time, after a couple of seconds she opens the door herself.
"I am sorry" she says directly.
I approach her with wide arms, she smiles.
I need one of those long hugs that make you forget the world around you for a moment. No words, no advice, just our chests raising and falling again.
