Vic's POV

I slept until 11:30 which was a bit of surprise, since I usually wake up at 7 because of aches and pains in my legs and abdomen. But this morning they were mild, so I got a good few extra hours. I felt sort of refreshed and not as shitty as I usually feel, probably because I knew we were seeing Coby today. He is quite a nice guy,many I am kind of regretting talking to Kayleigh the way I do, although I don't want to regret it. I feel the same way I do about Kayleigh than I always have so I shouldn't be feeling sorry. The only person I should be feeling sorry for is Coby, since he is dying. He didn't even want to be in that position and I would do anything for us to switch places. He doesn't deserve it, he had a long life he couldn't have lived but that's not how things work. People die everyday, whether it be from cancer or homicide, I guess he is one of the unfortunate ones.

Kayleigh said she'd be a bit late today because of some check over with her brother and the doctor. I am not sure completely but I am sort-of glad she'll be here late.
By the time I showered and got dressed it was 12-ish -usually I get picked up at 11- so I knew Kayleigh would be hear soon.
The dreading feeling in my stomach wasn't there anymore, probably because I knew I would enjoy today which I never thought I would ever say that while I was here. Its her brother, he is a really nice guy, like a brother I never had. Mike and I used to be close but I drifted away as the years went on. We used to ride our bikes together, tutor each other, talk about girls. Stuff like that, I miss it but I know we could never be as close as we were.

I twitched in anticipation, hoping Kayleigh would be here soon as I walked back and forth from my bathroom door to the front door that led to the hallway. My stomach rumbled breaking the silence, and to be honest. I wish I had something small to eat to just stop this hunger. But I don't think I could do that, I don't even have scales to weigh myself. I jumped up and down on the spot, trying to pass time but all it did was make me feel dizzy and light headed. Stupid eating disorder.

A few minutes later, Kayleigh decided to show up But I can understand why she was late. Her hair flowed down to just bellow her shoulders, and I could tell she wasn't wearing any make up at all as the small freckles on her cheeks were very noticeable and her eyes weren't rimed with colour. "Hello," she smiled at me, and I nodded back not in the mood for talking that much. She seemed to accept that and continued talking without pressuring me to speak. "Anyway, so we are going straight to the other hospital and staying there for the rest of the day pretty much." I nodded again, not caring to speak but I walked out the door with Kayleigh anyway and we made our way to the car.

The ride was quiet, just the way I liked it, as I didn't have much to going through my mind to speak about. I really wanted to see Coby, since he is starting to become a really good friend of mine. I won't tell him about my family or anything that has happened because he might tell Kayleigh and I never ever want her to know anything about me. I haven't had many friends in the past, so I am -in a way- glad but also freaked. I don't have much experience in the friend field -that made me sound like a whore, I swear I am not.- nor have I in any other field besides hating everyone and wishing I was dead.

Kayleigh bought everything for the scrapbook, including the photos we took yesterday, photos from their childhood -which didn't really seem like a lot-, a scrapbook and cardboard to decorate the pages with. It didn't seem like much, but it was three bags full of items.
As soon as we got to the hospital I pretty much ran to Coby's room, but I couldn't run as fast as I'd have liked because Kayleigh insisted that I carry one of the bags. I declined at first but I decided it'd be best if I did.
