My Photographer (Diggy Simmons)

cancer!?

"Lex..." I called out to her but didn't get a response.

"Babbaaay!" I said speaking a little louder. I saw her coming out of the back with her phone in her hand.

She had just looked like she'd seen a ghost.

"Baby what's wrong? Who was that on the phone?" I asked turning the stove and oven down.

"It was my mothers doctor " her face showed confusion.

"Well is everything alright? How is she?"

"She's in the hospital."

"Ok is she alright? " I asked again in more of a rushing tone.

"Daniel she has cancer on her brain and lungs! " she said in a whisper as she stared off into the kitchen looking at nothing in particular.

"What? Why am I just finding out about this Lex? Is she alright! ?"

"Your just finding out about it because I'm just finding out about it Daniel. She didn't even tell me she was sick! Gosh she can be so stubborn at times but, I should have known something wasn't right. She's always unable to talk to me when I call her and the last time I was out there she had all of these prescriptions in her bathroom. I asked about them but she brushed me off and I never pressed the issue again! How could I not notice!?"

She said mentally blaming herself.

"Lex don't you do this, don't go blaming yourself again. It's not your fault baby."

"I know Daniel but I could have at least been with her through all the pain she's endured. She knows I would put everything on hold for her! She's the only family I've got left." She said pacing the floors like she always did when she was upset.

"Get dressed, we're going to your place so you can pack your things and shoot out to your moms."

"Daniel you don't have to come, I'll just go on by myself you have more events to attend to!"

"Lex what did I say!? Now go get dressed!" I demanded.

I know y'all probably thinking I'm always being controlling and demanding that's not completely the case. The thing is Lexi is very stubborn., she's a strong minded woman do her way is what she's use to having and I don't mind that. She still has to understand that Now that we are in a relationship things will be different. Everything isn't about her it is about US now. Her problems become mine and my problems become hers. We're an item now, you can't have one without the other.

"Thank you Daniel." She said giving me a kiss and a hug. She walked to the back coming out with my black jogging pants on, one of my White t-shirts and her neyon pink and dark purple new balances topping it off with her black Michael Kors dark tinted shades carrying her purse in hand.

I packed me a bag for the week and we headed to her spot to pack her a bag.

On our ride to Lex moms spot Lexi was quiet. I was also quiet, I didn't know what to say to her. What am I to say to someone who's losing their mom and everything is out of their hands!? I had been driving for an hour and had two more hours to go. Luckily the day was still early we'd make it there before dark.

My phone had rung through the car speakers, I answered it was Hulk.

"Wassup big guy?"

"Digg you have a press conference in an hour where ya at?"

"Something came up man, just make up something up"
