6 months later~
Hayes' POV
"Do you need anything?" I ask Cayli.
She positions herself so we meet eye contact. Her eyes are red & puffy. Her face is swollen & she has tear stains on her cheeks.
"I'm good." She croaks out.
"Babe, you gotta eat something." I tell her, my heart breaking from seeing her like this.
"I'm fine, really. You get something. I'll be right here when you get back." She says, her breath heavy.
"Alright. I love you, Cayli." I tell her as I walk out into the hospital hallway.
okay, so let me explain. 6 months ago, Cayli had what we thought was a panic attack. Well, it ended up being a bad symptom of leukemia. So for the past 6 months, we've been in the same hospital room. I haven't really left the hospital much, only to get food & clean clothes.
I pull up to the Chick-Fil-A drive thru & tell the lady what I want. I end up getting Cayli an ice dream because I know she's a sucker for those.
On the way back to the hospital, I burst into tears. I don't cry in front of Cayli, she already has too much going on. It just breaks my heart knowing that she could die any minute.
I park the car in the parking lot & grab all of my things. I throw my backpack over my shoulder & carefully carry the food & drinks inside.
Walking into the elevator, I'm met by Sam & Emilie. Sam looks so sad. it's been hard on him, too.
Feeling awkward by the silence, I tell Sam, "I would've gotten yall something to eat if you would've told me you were coming."
"Oh, it's okay. we ate earlier." Emilie answers for Sam.
I just smile & nod. Everything is so weird & just awkward around everyone. Nobody really talks about anything. Our lives were turned upside down, so there's nothing really happy to say.
I walk into Cayli's room & there's a nurse taking her blood.
"I got you an ice dream, princess." I tell her & she smiles that beautiful smile that I fell in love with. She doesn't smile much anymore, but when she does, it lights up the whole room.
She slowly sits up & takes the ice cream out of my hand. I kiss her forehead then sit down to eat my food.
Sam sits next to Cayli & hugs her. They both silently cry. Sam doesn't come over a lot, because it's just too much for him.
"How's she been?" Emilie whispers to me.
"She's okay. She seems to smile a tiny bit more than usual." I tell her & she smiles.
Sam motions to Emilie that they're leaving, so she tells me & Cayli bye. I wave at Sam & he nods back at me.
"Can I lay with you?" I ask Cayli. She nods, scoots over, & pats beside her.
I lay down with her & grab the remote. I turn the tv on & Grey's Anatomy comes on. I look at her & see her smile so big. it's her favorite show.
Cayli's POV
My chest hurts, but I didn't tell Hayes. he's already worried too much about me.
I turn my head to him & kiss his cheek. He smiles & I squeeze his hand.
" You've been so good to me." I tell him.
"because I love you." He says.
"I love you so much, Hayes." I smile at him.
He kisses my lips softly, but releases soon because I couldn't breathe.
I look away ashamed. he turns my head & looks at me worriedly.
"I hate that I can't give you what you want." I say, reading his mind.
"Baby, no no no. you give me your love. That's all I need from you. that's all I want." he says & a tear rolls down his cheek.
"Promise me you'll find someone when i... leave." I say quietly.
"Don't say that. dont." He says & it makes me upset. I knew I was going to die soon, I just didn't want to leave him lonely.
We lay there in silence the rest of the day, while watching Grey's. Nurses & doctors came in & out throughout the day.
This was our life now. & I'm forever grateful to have Hayes by my side through it all.
