Cole Walter imagine (My Life with the Walter Boys

Cross my Heart Promise

Request from Wattpad Treassuredavis33 reader has cancer and is in the hospital while Cole is her boyfriend she tells him to promise her something on her almost deathbed.

The Walter family had been forced to remain in the living room by Cole's request when I collapsed on our date out tonight. I tried to lie and say it was nothing but now there was no way of keeping it a secret. He would know sooner rather than later I suppose now. Laying in the hospital bed I had an iv in my left arm. My hair was pulled back in a messy ponytail done by my boyfriend. "Y/n, I finally got the doctors to let me see you. What's wrong?"

Cole came into the room dragging a chair right up to my bedside where I could see true concern in his green eyes. "Cole, I'm fine. I just...how much did the doctors tell you?"

"Nothing. They said that they will only talk with your parents or relatives. So what exactly is going on?" He asked me running his fingers through his hair.

Laying my head further back against the pillow I sighed tiredly. For our date we went riding out on horses like we did on our first date. He was riding in front of me while I felt myself getting dizzy and I fell off my horse. "I should have told you before now. I just didn't know how you would react or if I could handle telling you what is going on because it scares me really bad..." I felt tears falling down my face getting emotional over this.

Unfortunately at the age that I am the doctor found out that the cancer that my mother had was passed down to me. My hair had started thinning meaning that it would start falling out soon. "Hey, hey, don't cry on me. Just tell me what's going on and I can try to fix it." He reached forward, wiping away tears that had fallen.

"You can't fix what is going to happen, Cole. So I decided that we should just end things now before we get too involved with each other." I admit avoiding his gaze.

He shook his head confused. "Why would we end things? I know I'm not good at the whole boyfriend thing but I don't want to break up with you."

"Cole, we really can't afford to be together anymore. I'm not good for you -" He cut me off climbing up to sit on the edge of the bed and holding my face in his hands so I'd look him in the eye.

"That's ridiculous Y/n. If anything I am not good for you. I normally do hookups and commit with girls. Until I met you...I want a real relationship with you."

Blinking through my eyes I sniffed. "You'd want to be with someone who has cancer?"

"That's what you weren't wanting to tell me. Why did you think you couldn't tell me about something? That's a big deal to have cancer." Cole declared in a baffled tone,

Shaking my head I felt more tears coming down. "Be for real, Cole. You don't want to date someone who has cancer. You're the popular guy at school and could have anyone else. I understand that so I'm ending this so you don't have to deal with all the stress later down the road."

"What makes you think that I'd want to break up with you over that? I don't care about my reputation. It's ridiculous to me that people don't consider I might be more than the guy who sleeps around." He rests his forehead against mine. "I'd want to be with you no matter what Y/n L/n."

Placing my head against his chest he wrapped his arms around my waist. We let silence fill the hospital room. He had his whole family in the room and they had all been concerned since I had a relationship with each of them. Cole kissed my forehead hearing me sniffing through some more tears.

"I'm sorry I didn't tell you sooner. I was just afraid you'd walk away from me." I mumbled into his brown jacket clutching my fingers on his forearms.

Cole slightly pulled away from me and I saw some tears coming down his face too. "I'd never leave you because of your illness. I freaking have feelings for you so bad that I don't want anything bad to happen to you. I want to make you happy and everything else. So you'd never be just a hook up to me."

"I can't believe you're sticking around for me, Cole. I....I want a real relationship with you too." I wrapped my arms around him in a tight hug and he hugged me back blinking away more tears.

A few minutes later he felt me draw away from him where he tilted his head downward to my gaze. "What's wrong, Y/n?"

"Now that we talked about my situation there's something I want to ask of you." I trailed off and he nodded letting me keep talking. "I need you to promise me something important. I need you to promise me that you'll be nice to Jackie if things get worse for me."

Cole shakes his head not wanting to think about the worst happening. "Things aren't going to get bad for us. Not while we are together."

"I know you don't want to talk about that. I don't either but it is possible. So promise me, promise me that you will be nicer to her. She doesn't deserve someone being mean to her after the trauma she has to deal with....so as your girlfriend I'm asking that you promise me this." Squeezing his shoulder blades in my nails he didn't waste a second in kissing me slowly.

I leaned into the kiss lightly smiling and he broke it whispering under his breath. "We're gonna get through this, Y/n. But I do promise to be better around her for you."

"Thank you, Cole. I appreciate it..." I smiled feeling him climb in on the other side of the bed once I scooted over. Cole wrapped his arms around me and I cling onto his embrace before we just let silence fill the room. Not wanting to talk about the struggles of me having cancer just yet. So we remained just holding onto one another for comfort.
