Pizza Girl // A. I.

Chapter 2

KELSEY

Cancer. My friends mom has cancer. Damnit.

I slowly looked over to Ashton, who looked like he had just been shot. He was slumped over. His head down and playing with his fingers as tears slowly marked their way down his cheeks.

Thomas pulled away and went to find his dad and the doctor. I took this as a time to hug Ashton. Because that was all he needed. A hug.

Once he was wrapped in my arms, he let it all out. Full out sobbing and crying on my shoulder.

    After a few minutes, Ashton pulled away, and went to find Thomas.

    I continued down the line, hugging and trying my best to console every boy.

    Jack was the last, he wasn't sobbing like the others. He looked worse.

     He was staring off into space, looking at the floor, as multiple tears leaked out of his eyes and down his face.

    I hugged Jack, whispering soothing words in his ear, trying to make him feel better.

     He pulled away and went to find the other boys, who had went to find Thomas.

     I decided to stay back. Someone needed to be here in case any news came in, or the boys came back.

    The parents don't even know who I am. They don't know why a stranger is sitting in the wife/moms hospital room.

    Just then, Mrs. Foyer woke up. She looked around confused, until it all came flooding back to her.

   She had Cancer.

    That was the worst thing to here.

   She was instantly startled when she notice me, giving a little jump, and gasping.

    "W-who are you?" She asked, gripping the bed sheets.

    "I'm Thomas's friend. I'm Kelsey,"
I said.

     "He never mentioned a Kelsey."

     "We met today. About four hours ago actually," I said, glancing at the clock.

    That was about right. If I dropped the pizza off around eight, and it was 12:13 a.m.

    12:13?!

    Jacey is probably blowing up my phone worried sick.

     Jacey is my roommate.  We met in kindergarten and had been best friends ever since. Her parents had neglected her as well, which is why we moved in together.

    I excused my self and went to the hall to call her.

    She picked up on the very first ring.

   "Where the hell are you?" She asked, rather loudly.

     "Shhh!" I yelled, chuckling. "I'm at the hospital."

      "What?! Why? Are you alright? I'm coming now!"

    "I'm fine. It's Thomas's mom."

   "Who the fuck is Thomas?"

   "A new friend. Just please come over here."

     "Okay, bye. FYI, you scared me to death," she said before hanging up.

    I sighed, putting my phone in my pocket and heading back in the room.

   A sat in a chair and talked to Mrs. Foyer. I told her how I met Thomas and the guys. She was shocked that I was here right now because I had barley known them. I then told her that Ashton got a text as he was dropping me off.
