I walked over to my full length mirror that was placed gently next to my closet. I was only in my bra and underwear, both black. I rubbed my body that was now becoming thin and fragile. I took my hand and brushed them threw my hair that was like my body, becoming thin. I let my hair scatter over my body, just falling 2 centimeters below my belly button. I sighed and continued getting ready for my date with mikey. I pulled on a pair of dark washed jeans and a flowy tank top with purple flowers cascading from the top. I finished my makeup and went down stairs to the living room. I heard the door bell ring. "bye aunt Monica. I'll be home later." I heard her heels clicking from the kitchen. "bye sweetie. you have everything right?" I nodded and smiled. I opened the door to see a very handsome boy standing there smiling. I smiled "hi mikey." he kept smiling "hello Ryder." he took my hand and we walked down the street. "where are we going?" "the beach carnival down the street." I completely forgot about the carnival. they hold it every year for about 5 months. starting from the end of April to the beginning of September. my cousins and I went there every single weekend when we were younger.

he walked us in and handed the old man with a beer belly money. he then handed mikey 2 bracelets. "I could've paid!" I told him. "we'll I did already." I smiled at him and thanked him. he placed his soft hand back into mine. it felt like it fit perfectly. we played some games and walked around. mikey won me a huge elephant in the game where you throw the darts at the balloons. he must've tried 8 times before getting the stuffed animal that I didn't even say I wanted. all I said was, "awh look at that elephant." but he insisted.

"are you hungry? do you want to go get some pizza or something?" mikey asked me later in the night. "sure, if you want too." he nodded. I stayed at a table saving it for him. I placed my bag that contained my life saving machine in it. mikey came back with two pieces of pizza. "thank you." he sat down in front if me. we both took a few bites in a comfortable silence. "what is that?" he asked pointing to the bag and looking at the tubes that were plunged into my nostrils. I sighed. I'm actually surprised he waited this long to ask what is was. "we'll. remember when we first met?" he nodded. "we'll, I just came back from the doctors that day and found out that, I have lung cancer." his faced dropped, saddening from the happy boy he was all night. "this is a nasal cannula. it helps me breathe..." I bit my lip. he looked so sad. "I'm sorry.. I should've told you before we went out." he finally made eye contact with me. "no, I'm happy we went out." he smiled. "you don't have to put on an act for me. I mean, who would wanna date a girl who is dying?" I laughed with my eyes watering. "me." I looked at him surprised. he leaned in and kissed me. I, of course, kissed him back. this kiss was like no other. it was magical. sparks flying everywhere. he then departed. "yeah, I deffintly wanna go out with you again." he said smiling then both of us giggling. "will you be my girlfriend, Ryder?" I smiled. "as long as you promise not to fall in love with me. I might die. there is a huge possibility. and I don't want you to he hurt." he looked at me. "I can't promise anything. the first time I saw you, I think I fell in love with you. lets not think about the future Ry, lets just make the time we have together last." I smiled. "thank you." he smiled and walked me home sharing another kiss that will never get old.
