They don't know about us (A Drew Chadwick love story)

Twelve - The List

Hey guys, whats up?? Sorry for the wait, everyone. Life outside the internet had been kind of crazy. But i have to tell you someting and I hope you're going to like the idea.

So the thing is..... I just watched the movie Now is Good and i decided to take this story is a new direction. I'm really excited about it and I hope you all enjoy it. You'll get a idea of this "new direction" starting in this chapter and in the following ones. 

Okay that's it. Now lets get started with this chapter :)

A few days later when I was in the kitchen I heard the front doorbell ring. I was alone in the house, Brooke went with some of her friends to Brazil for the weekend, today I didn’t had to work and I had no idea where Wes, Keaton or Drew were, so I had no idea who could be, I wasn’t expecting any visitors or deliveries, but I headed to answer the door.

When I opened the door I was shocked to see who it was.

Laci.

I put my biggest smile and gave her a big bear hug.

“Laci-Rae, what are you doing here?”

I finally let her go and she smiled back at me “What? Now I can’t come and visit my dear sister?”

“Of course you can! Come in, please.”

Laci followed me inside the house and I could feel her watching me and watching the house I now lived in “This house is amazing!”

“I know.”

When we entered the leaving room we sat down in the couch “So where is… Brooke? It’s Brooke right?” I nodded “You share the house with her right?”

“Yes, but she went to Brazil with some friends so I have the house all to myself”

Laci smiled at me again before burying her face in a pillow “This couch is so comfortable I could seriously live in it!” I just laughed at her “So…. Where are the Emblem3 boys?”

“No idea, working I guess.” I said “But tell me, what are you really doing here?”

“I just wanted to come by and see where you lived now. I was curious.” She replied “But I have to go back home tonight”

“Well, I’m glad you’re here. Do you want a cup of coffee or something?” I asked Laci as I headed into the kitchen.

“Coffee please” she answered.

I looked away from the coffee machine and towards Laci “So how is everything back home?”

“The same, Dad has been trying to get back to normal since Matt’s funeral.”

I didn’t look at her; I know what she was thinking so I busied myself with making the coffee

“So what have you been up to?” Laci asked as she took a sip of her coffee-

“Working”

“That is nice, so tell me, how are you settling in?” Laci asked with a smile.

Laci stayed with me for another three hours talking about various subjects, but then Drew called me saying he needed my help, for what I have no idea. But after I hang up the phone Laci decided to leave, so after saying my goodbyes I got dressed and headed to where I planned meeting Drew.

When i walked inside of Drew's car he was in silence, he didn't even looked at me he kept staring to the road in front of us.

Today was one of the few days that no one working with the band had to work so I had no idea why Drew needed my help. Thankfully today i didn't had planned anything, but I was kind of happy that Drew needed my help.

"So... why do you need my help?"

"Why didn't you told me?" Drew asked after a few seconds of complete silence.

"Come again?" I asked confused by what he was talking about.

"You know exactly what i'm talking about!"

"What? Drew i have no id-"

"Why didn't you told me you were sick?" Drew finally looked at me "Wes told me!"

I couldn't believe in what Wes had done. He promised me he wouldn't tell anyone. It seem like he broke his promise "Drew I-"

"Wes didn't told me what type of sickness it was. He just said it was bad and that I should ask you. So.... tell me!"

How to begin? Should I tell him the truth? I thought abou telling him different times, but was not how i imagined. But i know i have to, so i tell him everything.

"I have been leaving with leukemia for the past three years" I began "At first my dad though it was just a flue. But the flue never went away, and after I did a blood test, my doctors worst fear was confirmed. The doctors said that existed a chance of survival, but we had no other option than chemotherapy" I could see that Drew wanted to cry, but he didn't so i kept talking "But before I come here i decided to stop the treatment. Probably if i had kept doing chemotherapy I would life a little bit longer. But it made feel so bad. And I have a few things I want to do before I die."

"Things?"

"Yeah" I said "After I found James with another girl and i found Brooks house to live in I decided to make a list. I never really told anyone about it. It only has 5 wishes. Well 4 now, going to New York was one of them."

"So what are the other four?" he asked as a tear fell from his eyes.

"Learn how to surf, go bungee jumping, go skydiving, go to Los Angels and learn how to speak Portuguese." 

 I fell silent unsureoh what to say next. I bit my lower lip waiting and glanced away from him. Drew  exhaled deeply and out, and out of the corner of my eye, i say him lick his lips.

"I'll help you" Drew said softly "I don't know how, but i'm going to help you. I'm going to make them come true. I promise."

Hearing him saying that made me tear up a bit. Hearing him saying that he would help me making my last whishes come true, was the best thing that anyone could ever do for me. 

Carefully I lifted his hands from his thigh and wrapped my fingers around his "Thanks."

Drew made me a promise, and I know he would kept it.

- - - - -

Drew drived me home after we talked for a little longer about all this years I hasve been living with leukemia. But I have to admit, it feels good that now Drew's know the truth and that I don't have to lie anymore. 

When Drew pulls the car outside of the house we just sit there for a few minutes, before he decides to come inside.

We walk into the leaving room and Drew walks straight to the couch and lets himself fall back into it.

"Tires?" I ask him.

"A bit but not tired enough..." he replies

"For...?"

"Watch a movie!"

After a few minutes Drew finally decides to go with 'Fast and Furious' . We seat on the couch and we start to watch the movie. We chat during the entire movie about the movie and anything else that come to mind, and when we realize we haven't eat yet we order pizza.

Drew stays for a little longer, but then he leaves when Keaton calls him tellling him that they need to rehearsel for some show they are going to give tomorrow at the beach.
