Love is the Cure

25.

"What the hell was that?" I pushed her off of me.

"A thank you because you defended me." She beamed.

"I didn't defend you." I jabbed a finger into her collar bone. "I defended myself and anyone else he's been a dick to so let's stop thinking the world revolves around you because it doesn't it doesn't revolve around Ryan, you. NOBODY!"

Her eyes were wide with surprise and shock.

Walking out of the kitchen I continued my day as Nicole tried her best to stay clear of me.

The work day was over and as I was hanging up my apron Nicole stopped me.

"Why can't you like me?" She asked.

"You're dating Ryan."

"Was" she corrected me.

"I'm not looking to date. Anyone."

"Nobody?"

"Nobody" I confirmed.

"Why?" She was getting too curious for my liking but I blew it off.

"I'm in love with someone else. Why be in a relationship when it's not with the person you love?"

Her eyes widened for a second. "Is it Amber?"

"Possibly."

"She doesn't even live here!"

"That's true she doesn't and to be honest I haven't talked to her lately, but I'm not giving up. I already lost her once and I won't do it again."

"Well does she know you're cancer free?"

"Nope."

"Well maybe she'll talk to you if she knows."

"Excuse me?!" I could feel the heat of my anger fan my face. "What the hell is that supposed to mean?! That when I was sick I wasn't good enough. That she dumped my ass when I was sick. Yeah I wasn't good enough for her and she broke up with me, but you know what?! I got a second chance and with that second chance I may not be good enough but there wasn't a day I didn't try my hardest to be. Yeah my lungs sucked I couldn't breath and I was afraid to speak up. Nothing was wrong with my heart which meant that I was capable of loving and having feelings!"

"You're not afraid to speak up now." She mumbled.

"Yeah. Maybe because I was walked all over for three years because I was dying! You know how fucked up that is?" I pushed past her my shoulder slamming into hers but I didn't look back as I walked out the restaurant doors and to my mothers car.

"How was your day?" My mom asked.

"I told two people off and I've been holding in that anger for three years. I had a good day. I feel so much better now. How was yours?"

"Great. A visitor came for you today, wouldn't give me a name but said she'll be able to go where you work tomorrow."

"She?"

"Yeah I don't know her name I'm sorry Hun"

Who the hell would it be?! "What'd she look like?"

"She told me not to tell you. I wasn't even supposed to tell you she was here. Are you expecting someone?"

"No!" I'm so confused now. Who is this person?! And what do they want?
