The Bucket List Chapter 9:

“Taste testing?”

“You try different foods/ drinks in this case you are trying every single drink on that menu till you find one you like.” he said pointing to the menu. My eyes went wide.

“You are crazy.” He just laughed. He walked to the cashier and they started talking while I waited. He sat back down and the guy brought a red drink.

“Veinti passion iced tea.” Harry said. I sipped it.

“This is really good.” He smiled. Another drink came.

“Double Chocolate Chip Frap.” he said. I sipped this. It was soo good. Thank god chemo was over.

“I like this.”

This continued till I tried ever single drink and pastery offered in Starbucks.

“I think I just had dinner composed of drinks.” Harry laughed. I was holding my stomach.

“I never ate so much in my life.”

“Oh Harry what was it you had to tell me?” I asked. He looked down.

“Uhm I just wanted to say that I like you a lot.”

“Me too, we are like best friends.”

“No, like more than that.” I froze. “I knew I shouldn’t of said that, you would never like me.” I shook my head.

“No Harry, I like you too a lot.” I said. Which is true I like him, a lot a lot. But I can’t hurt him.

“But I we can’t be together, we can’t I will break your heart.”

“No you won’t, we have to try.” he said holding my hands. I shook my head.

“As much as I want to I can’t. I am sorry. But I have to go.” I said and I sprinted out without looking back. I know I met Harry but he made things easy. He made me smile easy, which is hard considering my state. I ran, I ran as fast as I could to my house and ran to my room. I opened my journal.

2/4/13: Today Harry and I hung out, I realized I like him more. He still wore sunglasses I don’t know why. We had a taste testing of Starbucks. It was so good, but overwhelming. After, Harry told me he like me a lot which crushed me. I like him a lot. It was like love at first sight. He made things easy, I smiled more. I felt like I was on a cloud, I felt like my cancer disappeared. But, the only thing stopping me from being with Harry was cancer. It ruined everything. Although I had freedom and money like everyone wants, what I wanted most was love, which I couldn’t get.

I closed the journal and went to bed.
