Enjoy!

"You should go," I look at Damien.

Holly and David had already left, they went out on a date because David was trying to one up Damien when it came to being romantic. I never thought I would see my brother trying to be romantic. It was weird.

"Where?" Damien frowns.

He was laying down next to me. We were relaxing as he put it because he was too proud to admit that it is called cuddling.

"To prom, I was serious about you going and enjoying yourself," I look at him seriously.

He doesn't say anything.

"Damien, I want you to go. Go and be a teenage boy in high school who enjoys himself, go and have fun," I push him.

"But I have fun with you, I want to be a teenage boy with you," he pokes my stomach.

"Damien," I complain.

"What? I want to stay, don't deprive me of my happiness woman," he grumbles.

"Go, Damien please go and have some fun without me," I plead.

"Dev I can't," he looks down at me.

"You can't or you won't?" I lift his chin up.

"I won't because I want to be here with you, can't you see that I am a simple guy with simple needs. It's you and only you that I want," he holds me close so my head is under his chin.

"I understand that but you need to go out, have fun with friends. I'll be fine here," I explain.

"Why are you kicking me out? Is there a male nurse here or something?" he chuckles.

"Yeah, his name is Ken," I giggle.

"Ken? Like Barbie and Ken?" he tries to contain his laughter.

I nod as I laugh at my ridiculous attempt to make up a guy.

"So do you really want me gone?" he asks once our laughing fit is done.

"You spend everyday here with me, that you have me thinking you don't have any friends of your own," I chuckle.

"I make time for them, I just make more time for you," he shrugs.

"That is not a good thing," I shake my head.

"Why not?" he scoffs.

"Make time for them too, they are your friends and they deserve to spend time with you. It's not fair to them. What happens if I'm gone? Huh? What if something happens to me and you don't have anyone because you pushed them away? Go to your friends, they are also part of your life, not just me."

"I know, I just... I want you to know I am here for you. I don't want you to just be someone I see everyday, I want to be that 'someone' that you see everyday," he looks down at me with his light hazel orbs.

"Damien, I know," I smile when he kisses my forehead.

"Either way, I am never going to stop proving it to you," he says as I snuggle into his embrace and close my eyes.

These past few months haven't been all that bad, especially now that their was no drama happening. I actually enjoyed myself more. I made progress with my health and at school. I hadn't fallen behind, mostly because I had a lot of free time. Chemo wasn't at all that bad, in fact I don't even remember when was the last time I actually had it.

I still took it of course but I wasn't so sad everyday that I would count the next time I had it and dread it. I focused on other things. I am more distracted and for that I was grateful. I didn't get stuck on one thought, I was moving on.
