Always

Chapter 7- Love

When we pull up to my house, Kian opens the door for me, and he places his hand into mine. Perfect fit. Kian pulls me in at my doorstep and gives me a gentle kiss goodnight and tells me he will text me tomorrow.

"I had a great time tonight with you, Amelia" Kian says

"Me too...I hope we can have another night like this" I say smiling.

"Don't worry, we will. See you Monday right at 2:10 remember?" He says smiling and playing with his nose ring.

"Goodnight Kian" I say while he gives me one last kiss goodnight and I watch him drive away in his black honda.

I walk inside and mom is already sleeping on the couch so I decide to just give her a kiss goodnight and walk upstairs to my room. I get in the shower, and get ready for bed. I look at my phone before going to bed, and Jane is calling me. I answer.

'AMELIA! HOW DID IT GO?'

'Amazing. It went amazing. He kissed me'

'AH! SERIOUSLY? That is so great!! Wanna go shopping tomorrow and talk more about it?'

'Yeah. It was awesome, sure. I'll pick you up around noon. But i'm tired i'll text you tomorrow okay?'

'Okay mel, I'm so excited for you! See you tomorrow. Goodnight'

The next morning I wake up and mom is sitting on her computer again at the table, with her glasses on and her legs crossed.

"So, how was your date last night?" Mom says smiling

"It was totally awesome! Kian is so nice" I say

"He seems it hunny. I'm happy for you. Even though I don't like the fact that he is 21, I am trusting you. Oh, I'm going to go visit Poppy, do you want to come?" She asks.

"I was supposed to go shopping with Jane today." I say.

"That's okay hunny, i'll tell poppy you said hello and i'll give him your love, okay?" Mom says while giving me a hug and a kiss on the forehead.

"Thanks momma" I say with a smile. I feel so bad for not going to see my grandfather since he only has a few more months to live. The doctor gave us a prognosis that he was going to pass away in March, however doctors aren't god and miracles happen all the time, right? Right?! Mom hasn't been taking it so well, and neither have I. We wanted him to do chemo, but because of his age and how much the pancreatic cancer is progressed, there is no point for him to feel worse than he already does, besides he misses my grandma, I know when she died a couple of years ago in 2013 after she had been diagnosed with Parkinson's and eventually developed dementia. Sadly, my Nana was gone before she was really gone. Poppy was never the same again, and if he did do the treatment, It will just make him sicker, the doctor suggested we just spend the most time with him while we can. Damn, I should've went to the hospital...

Later that day I go to pick up Jane, and she gets in the car and looks right at me. She is totally so excited for me, maybe even more excited about it working with me and Kian than I am.

"So! Don't just sit there, give me the details" Jane begs.

"Well, what is there to say? We kissed Jane, that's all" I say nervously

"I'm so happy for you. Fucking JC called me today and told me that Kian wouldn't shut the hell up about you. Mel, he really likes you. The college is having a costume party this weekend, they always do this annual Halloween in January thing, weird I know, but we are going, right?" She says smiling and hitting me in the arm lightly.

"I wanna go so bad, but poppy is doing really bad, he's all I could think about lately, I'll probably go though, can we just go later on into the night? I gotta go with my mom to visit him next weekend because I didn't today" I say smiling. "Oh, and as long as Kian is there" I smile again.
