Hey, so I'M BACK!!!! Lol. So I haven't had WiFi in a while because I moved and I'm sorry I haven't updated! But, here's the 8th chapter! Hope you like it!!!!!

Wrens POV

"Ready for your first round of chemo?" The doctor asks my father.

He nods and I get up. I leave the room and go to my family in the waiting room.
"What's going on?" Kate asks.
"They are just starting the therapy."

She nods and I sit next to my mother. Kate gets up to go home.

"Are we still going to the fair?" Michael asks.
"Of course! Even my dad said it was a good idea." I smile.
"In that case we should go get ready."

I laugh and follow him to the car. We drive to the house and I get out the car. It is oddly quiet for a house full of teenagers and there was a random car parked in the driveway. I walk into the house and I hear people talking quietly.

"Kate, we're home!" I call.

The voices go silent and I walk into the kitchen. A girl is sitting, her back facing me. Even though I can't see her face, I know who it is by her wavy brown hair.

"Chelsea?" I ask.

She turns around and smiles. She hugs me and without realizing it, I break down. She hugs me tighter as I sob.

"I'm so sorry." She whispers.

I pull back and smile, wiping the tears.

"What are you doing here?" I ask her.
"I heard about your father and I figured you would need a friend, even if you did have a boyfriend." She smiles, wiggling her eyebrows at Michael.

I laugh and she drags me upstairs.

"So when did that happen?" She asks.
"I don't know honestly. The night of cotillion I realized I still liked him and he kissed me." I smile, remembering the night.

She squeals and opens my closet.

"What are you doing?" I ask.
"Helping you get ready for your first date."

I laugh as she starts ripping clothes out of my closet. She finally picks an outfit and I change into it. I am wearing black leather pants, a red button up that is tied at the bottom and red oxfords. She then starts on my hair. She curls it, pinning my bangs up in a curl. I do light makeup except for a red lipstick.

"Do you think it's to much?" I ask her.
"Definitely not." I hear a male voice say from my door.

I look over and Ryan is smiling at me.

"Thanks. But now you gotta leave because I have to help Chelsea get ready."

I push him out as Chelsea look at me confused.

"You always said that if he wasn't a jerk to me, you would like him. Well, he ain't a jerk no more." I say, purposely using bad grammar.

She laughs and I pull her into the bathroom. I do a smokey eye and a nude lip to make her brown eyes pop. Then, I curl her hair and brush through it.

"Do you like it this far?" I ask her.

She nods and I smile. I pull her to my closet and we look through all my clothes. I grab matching leather pants and a blue button up sweater. I throw my blue and white saddle shoes at her and she laughs.

"We look amazing!" Chelsea smiles.

I hug her and we go downstairs, arm in arm.

"Whoa." Is all we hear when we get to the bottom.

We giggle and separate. She goes to Ryan and he wraps his arm around her waist causing her to blush. I kiss Michael on the cheek and he smiles at me.

"I guess we should go now." Michael says, pulling me out the door.

"Ahhhh!" I scream as we go down on the Drop Zone.

I squeeze Michael's hand and close my eyes as he laughs at me. We get to the bottom and I slap him on the chest.

"Honestly, how could you have been that scared?" He chuckles.

I give him a look and he puts his hands up in defense.

"This is so weird." I whisper.
"Why?" He asks.
"Well, a month ago you said I was a stalker and I said you had a big ego." I laugh.

He nods and looks at his shoes. I grab his hands and make him stop walking.

"You know how I feel about you. You always have. And now, you feel the same way too."

He plants a firm kiss on my lips and I deepen it. We hear a wolf whistle and I turn to see Kate and Matthew laughing at us. I glare at them and pull Michael away.

"Ferris Wheel?" He whispers in my ear, pulling me the opposite way.

I giggle and we stand in line. We finally get on and it goes up.

"It would be so clique if it stopped at the top." I laugh.

Michael laughs too. We, fortunately, make it to the bottom with no problems and a few kisses.

"We should head home. I have to visit my dad to see how the chemo was."

We tell everyone we are leaving and start the drive to the hospital. I sign in and walk to my dad's room.

"Hey, dad." I whisper as he gives me a small smile.
"Hey sweety."

I sit next to him and he holds my hand.

"How are you?" I ask him.
"I am okay. My head hurts but I'm fine." He answers.

I smile at him, as tears gather in my eyes.

"Everything is going to be fine."

So as you can see this whole chapter was in Wren's POV but next chapter will be in Michael's so I hope you will continue to read!
