You're Marrying your Bestfriend?

Part 3

"It is huge!"I said dropping all of my boxes.

"I know right?"Ryan walked in and jumped on the sofa."Come here"He opened his arms and I went to him.He pulled me to lie on him and I did.

"It feels so right."I looked up at him.

"What?"I asked."The couch?"He laughed.

"No,us."

"OOOOOHHHHHHH.Come on.Shall I make the first dinner?"He nodded.

"No one can resist your cooking."I walked to the kitchen.

"One problem."I said staring at the empty cupboards."No food."He smiled.

"Well,we'll just have to go to walmart."I nodded and we went to Walmart.

"Get the cocoa puffs too."Ryan yelled from down the isle.

I grabbed the box and tossed it in the cart.

"I think that is everything."I said.Ryan slipped his arms around me and put mine around his waist.

"Alright,let's pay."

We walked to the register.The lady was old and seemed familiar.

"Hello Kayla.How is your mom?"It was Kathy.My mom's friend.

"She is great thanks."She smiled.

"It's so sad when something happens like this.And she refused the treatment."

"Excuse me?"She frowned.

"The cancer."I froze.

She packed the things and Ryan broke the silence.

"Thank you Kathy."He lightly pushed me along to the car.

"She must have had the wrong person."I said to Ryan.

"I think we should go see your mom."He said driving out of the parking lot.

"You knew!You didn't tell me?Why didn't she tell me?"I yelled as we parked in my mom's drive way.

I stormed out the car and into the house.

"MOM!"I ran to the kitchen and see her sitting with coffee.

"Yes?"I paced the kitchen.

"Why didn't you tell me?"She took a deep breath.

"I didn't want to hurt you."Another deep breath.

"It hurts more that you didn't tell me,but you told Ryan."Another deep breath.

"I didn't want the treatment and if I told you."Deep breath."You would've wanted to help."

"Why can't I help.You want to leave earth?"I sat across from her and held her hand."What's wrong.Can you breathe?"She shook her head and starting wheezing."Call the Ambulance!"Ryan took out his phone and went into the living room.

She fell forward on."MOM!"I shook her.Nothing.

I heard sirens and next thing I know,I am in the waiting room of a hospital.

"Kayla?Kayla Jones?"I looked up and sped walked to the doctor.

"Me."

"Your mother is very Ill.But she wants to see you.The cancer is like eating her alive."I cried some more."You may go in.One person at a time please."

"Go ahead."Ryan pushed me forward.

"Kayla."My mom whispered.

"Oh,mama.I could've helped this.Why do you wanna go?"She was crying.I wiped her tears and sat on the bed.She took my hand.

"I want to be with Harold.And darling,I will always be with you.Right here."She pointed to her heart."You are going to make a great wife.I have been waiting for you to realize,you love Ryan and the man loves you."She coughed."I love you so so so so so much.Words can't describe."I was sobbing now.

"I love you too mom."She gave me a weak smile.

"Have Ryan come in please."I nodded and walked out.

"She wants to see you."Ryan gave me a quick hug and a kiss on the forehead.

Ryan's POV

I walked in the room.Holding back the tears.I had to be strong,for both of them.

"Ryan."She laughed."Come here."She held her arms out.

I hugged her tight but not too tight.

"Now,I want you to take this."She placed her wedding ring in my hand."I want you to use it when you are ready.I know love when I see it and you two,are going to be together forever.I have always loved you like a son.Take care of my girl.I love you Ryan."

Now I was crying.She wiped my tears and pulled me into a hug.

"I love you too.Mom"I heard her cry when I said that.

When my parent's died,she was there for me.She raised me and made me the man I am today.

"OK,you can come back tomorrow to check up.We need to treat her to some medication."The doctor interrupted.I nodded and walked to Kayla.

She jumped up when I touched her shoulder.

Her face was red and her eye's puffy.Yet she was still the most beautiful girl in the world.

"I am not leaving.You can go home."She cried into my shirt.I hugged her tighter.

"I am not going anywhere."She looked at me and smiled.

"I don't deserve you Ryan."That broke me.I had tears rolling down my cheek.

"You deserve the world Kayla."She squeezed me tighter.

That is how we fell asleep.Her on top of me.Me,on the hard,cold hospital floor.But as long as Kayla was safe and comfortable.So was I.
