Unexpected Love

Chapter Eleven: Blown Out Candle

I heard a ringing coming from my handbag, making my change sound like cymbals. I walked over to my bag, trying not to run into anything for I could not see through my tears.

When I looked down, I saw Chance's face plastered to my screen. The picture was from when I had stolen his phone forever ago and took weird pictures of just about everyone. He was smiling as his hand reached towards the camera, as if he would reach through it and brush his hand through my hair.

I answered the call, which happened to be a FaceTime request, "Hey Nerd." He said, the second my red, tear covered face showed.

I tied my hair away from my face, "Hey butthead, what's up?"

Now that he could see my face, he was staring at me with such confusion. You could tell he was both worried and anxious, "Khloe, what happened?"

I took a deep breath, sounding like I have a flap in my throat blocking the air from coming out every half a second. "Brayden has a heart problem."

"But we all knew this before, Khloe." He said, sounding a bit confused.

I started crying even more, "It got worse."

He looked into my eyes, of course it was through the camera, "How long does he have?"

I started crying, breathing was becoming too hard.

"Khloe, please say something."

I swallowed, it felt as if a huge lump was being shoved down my throat. I wiped my tears from my face, leaving my hands drenched. "2 months."

He let out air threw his mouth, as if he was blowing out a candle. I felt as if he was, this "candle" that he is blowing out represents all hope of this situation. He let out that air and all hope was left to fly around, never to be caught again.

"He told me that he was going to tell you something important tonight, but I wasn't expecting this." He said, placing his hands on his forehead and pulling back his hair.

I felt bad that I was the one to break the news to him, for they had been really close friends ever since Chance started hanging out with me. He was losing someone close to him also and that's really hard to try and cope with.

"He said he didn't want anyone to act different with him though, so please.."

"Yah, I understand Khloe. I'm really sorry you have to lose him like this. I know how much you love eachother."

"It was bound to happen with him. The only way to stop it now is to get him someone else's heart, which would be amazing but he would never allow it."
