Cancertastic Story

Chapter One

Tonight was the night.
I was going to tell her how I felt.
---------------
I danced to the sound of people screaming and music blaring. I hopped off of the table and put my hat back on. I went upstairs to find Ashley, my best friend crush. She was slurring, and I laughed.
Ashley is so gorgeous even when drunk. She swayed and kissed my cheek softly. I blushed, knowing she couldn't see it.
"Lets g-go paaaaarrrtyy!!" She yells in my ear. I cover her mouth and tell her to shush. I grab her hand and pull her downstairs to dance. "Partyyy" She whispers. I laugh. She placed her hands on my hips and danced along to the beat. I pumped my fists in the air as she did same.
"Awesome partyyy" she whispered. I forgot I told her to shush. I smiled at her and she smiled back.    

So we danced all night,I made sure she got home safe before her parents noticed she was out partying. And made sure she didn't drink anymore. I laid her down in bed changing her clothes. She got back up.
She giggled "if you wanted to have sex with me, you could have said so. I'm fine with you touching my body. In fact, I think you should keep touching my body. Plus, I know I'm drunk and you aren't so you can take me. Right here. Right now". I wasn't going to take advantage of her while she was drunk.
She raised an eyebrow, then took her shorts off.
"Stop. Put it back on" I said and rolled my eyes. I didn't have the patience for this.
"You want me? Then come and get me" she said touching my waist pulling me closer to her. I pulled away from her and I laid her back down on the bed and walked downstairs to get her a glass of water and aspirin.
"I hope I remember everything when I wake up" she said when I came back into the room.
"I do too" I said kissing her forehead she instantly passed out. I got into the covers, taking my shirt off then going to sleep.

But suddenly I realized, I never told her how I felt.
----------------
I wake up to Ashley groaning, turning and twisting. I turn on my stomach and lay down again. Her body was suddenly on top of my back.
"What the hell?" I said and pushed her off.
"Oww" she whines. I check if she got any bruises.
"You're fine" I let her head fall back on the pillow.
"Put some clothes on, kid" She said putting her shorts on. I grabbed my shirt and put it on.

"Lets go eat" I said and took her hand in mine. She tightened her hand around mine and walked downstairs. Her mom and dad was sitting down on the couch. Her dad was playing with her hands.  I frowned.

I remember when I was little and my mom and I would play with dad outside in the backyard. Her golden brown eyes shone like twinkling lights because she was always happy. Her pink lips never frowned when she was with us and now she isn't. She would put wigs on to cover her bald head. Her wig was almost like real hair. It was ever so curly, she would always have it in a ponytail and two strands of her would fall down when she cooked. Dad would always put them behind her ear and kiss her like nothing else mattered in the world but us. He kissed me on the forehead and cheeks when we left for school an work together.

We were the perfect family until she had discovered she had cancer. She was too weak to take care of me, so she left. 13 years later I am with my dad, living in the house I was born in. I still think about her, what she looks like. I was 5 years old when she left. I remember it like it was yesterday.

"Daddy! Daddy! Come on!" He was too busy to watch me. He worked at an company called "Plumbers Plunger". It was small and rusty but he got paid enough to feed me and buy me things.
He looked down on me and smiled.
"Okay princess, I'm gonna get ya" he laughed and grabbed me. He tickled me until I was crying and laughing. I couldn't breath anymore so  I pulled loose and ran outside. His rolled up sleeves made him look more intimidating. I looked left and right and left a couple times again before crossing the street. I hid behind a bush and giggled.
-His large hands came up behind me and grabbed me.
"Gotcha!" I giggled and hugged him.
"You found me!" I said happily as he pulled me over his shoulder. I look up to see mom putting bags into the car.
"Dad , where is mommy going?" I ask.
"Huh? What do you..." He turns around and jogs towards mommy. My body jumbles all over the place like jello falling. He puts me down and hugs mom.I hug her leg because I was too short to reach her waist. She laughs and rubs my bald head.
" I'm going on a trip" She said smiling.
"Can we go?" I ask. Daddy looks down on me and smile.
"Oh,can we go?" Daddy asks her.

"Im sorry Frank but you can't go. You can't either, sorry pumpkin. I'm going somewhere safe where Taylor Swift sings all the time".
" I wanna go see Taylor Swift!!!!" I jump up and down but daddy pulls me back.
"You can see her when you get older" She rubs her thumb across my cheek and I let a tear fall.
"I wanna go! Daddy!! Tell her! We wanna go with her right?!!" I cry until her car drives down the road.
"Lets get some ice cream!" He shouts to me and I laugh wiping snot away.
"Ice-a-cream-ia" I say and put my fingers together on my lips to make a kiss sound.
"You want cherries?" I nod and spray whip cream on his nose. I giggle and put some on my ice cream.
That same night.... We forgot all about her. It was like she was never here.

"LILIA ARE YOU THERE!?" Fingers are snapping in my direction and Ashley was sitting next to me. When was I sitting down? I looked down and seen fruit. It was pineapples and grapes. My favorite.
"Thanks. I'm sorry I was thinking" I was strictly talking to Ashley and she knew. She rubbed my knee.
She dropped her bowl of fruit and went under the table to get it. I picked up a grape and ate it. I felt her hand touch my knee again. Her head poked out of the table and whispered 'I'm here when you need me'.
"You're always there" I whisper back. She gets back under the table and get the fruit. Finally, she is up with her linty fruit. I was done with my fruit so I went upstairs. I took my shirt and bra off and tried to find something new.
"Hey Lilia you wanna grab some--" she said and looked at me. Chest then face. She was blushing red.
"Grab some what?" I said and put on one of her bras on.
"Uhmm... Ice c-cream" she said looking at the floor. I put a shirt on next and walked close to her.
"What kind of ice cream?" I said and bent down to put shoes on.
"Regular" she said quickly and ran out of the room.
I wonder what that was all about. I put a hat on to cover my head. Then I left out the room. Ashley was at the bottom of the stairs waiting for me. I waved to her parents.
"Am I going back home after this?" I ask her.
She shrugged her shoulders and replied, " If you want to".
"If I want to what?" I asked. She wasn't paying attention. I grabbed her hand and pulled her towards me. Electricity bounced between our pulses. I held it longer. Cars flew past us as we walked in the street.
"Go...home" she said swinging our hands front and back.
"Whats on your mind?" I stopped in front of her.  We were now on the parking lot of the ice cream parlor. I dropped her hand and placed my hands on the side of her head. I gripped her hair lightly.
"Nothing"
"Nothing what?" She wasn't paying attention again. I dropped my hands and sighed.
"Nothing is on my mind" she opened the door for me. I walked in.
"There is always something going on in someones mind especially yours. So tell me something because I know it is not just nothing" I whispered yelled at her.

"Dammit!! Its you, okay? You  are in my head. All the fucking time! Its nothing but you! Its always you! My mind stays thinking about you! You are all I think about all fucking day! Its every day my mind thinks about you! And I cant fucking stop ,damn you!!" She screamed at me. The entire parlor was staring wide eyes at us.

I turned back to her. Her face was red and her eyed were blazing with fury and anger. She mad me mad and I knew how to help both of us. I kissed her. Pinned her against the wall and kissed the hell out of her.
She was still mad and angry, I could feel it against my lips. Then she calmed down. I stopped kissing her.

I sighed happily. The parlor still had been staring at us,
"How long have you been waiting to do that?" She asks as I order my Ice cream, she orders hers next.  A man wolf whistled at us and some people cheered.
"Answer the question!" A girl down the aisle yelled and everyone went crazy. Them it got silent.
"Since I met you" I bit my lip and looked down.
"So since I was born?" I nod my head carefully. She wraps her arms around my neck and hugged me. I hugged her back. The people began cheering.
"Oh, Lilia I have something to tell you" she released me and I turned my head a little like a confused dog.
"What?" Black spots danced in my vision. I blinked them away but they kept coming back.

"I like you, a lot not as a friend" she whispered in my ear.
"I like you too" I whispered in her ear.
"Ash, call 911 I am about to pass out" she held me and grabbed my phone out of my back pocket. She dialed quick. She talked fast and quick.
"They are on their way" she said and she fanned my head with a paper plate. I nod and smile at her softly.
"Youu... Areee myyyyyyy rooooooock giiiirl!" I sung slowly to her. I couldn't feel my arms. She smiled back.
"My arms Ash. I can't feel them. Medicine now" she reached into her purse and grabbed the shot. She plunged it into both if my arms.
"Malegs" I say softly. She sticks it in my thighs.
"Brb Ash okay?" I say and slowly pass out. She knew what was happening.
"Okay".
