The Boy With Cancer

three

I walked up the hill to the park area and saw a tall shadowy figure. As I got closer I noticed it was him. I ran into his arms. "Hey Babe", he smirked. I pulled my hair back and smiled." Hey ." This moment feels right. His lips touched mine again and I felt warmth and comfort.

He put me down and looked at me. I know he didn't just bring me here at the park just to stare. "I have something to tell you", he said. I straightened up with a serious face. " Ok,what's up." He sat down under the tree. I sat down with him holding his hand. This is weird. I'm scared about what he's gonna tell me.

He's looking at me with those censure blue eyes. He's not smirking ,smiling ,or laughing. His face was blank. I rubbed his back in comfort. I actually saw him smile a little. "What would you do if I died", he asked. I looked at him." I would cry until I couldn't cry anymore." I know it sounds stupid but that's true. He snickered."Really." I nodded.

He looked at me. "I have Cancer. My time is getting short and when I die don't cry. Think of as I'm going to a better place." I started crying. He's ready to go. I'm gonna lose him. I held him. "No your not going anywhere. Your gonna fight this. I don't wanna lose you." He wiped my tears. "I love you. I'm really gonna miss you." I didn't say anything I just held him close and cried on his shoulder. "Your gonna fight it", I encouraged him. He shook his head. " I'm in the last stage babe." Someone please wake me up from this nightmare.

No one wants to hear about there love one dieing or the fact they want to die. Even before we started dating we were always friends and I loved him. "That doesn't matter Jack. If you fight it you'll live. Please don't leave me", I begged. He kissed me deeply and hard. I kissed him back passionately. My tears were coming down fast as I thought about this being our last kiss. As we continued to kiss his arms wrapped around my waist holding me. This was his way of telling me that he's ready.

He stopped ,but he kept holding me. " Besides I've been fighting this since I was six. I can't fight anymore." I wiped my tears and looked at him. "I'll   miss you." He said he'll miss me too and that he'll be my guardian angel. That night we held and slept in each other arms til the morning.

He walked me home. Before I went inside I hugged and kissed him. I told him I love you. He said it back and told me to get some rest before school time. I looked at him one last time. Then I walked in. "Where have you been ", Danny asked. I hugged him tight. Then I started crying. " Jack has cancer. That's who I was with. Danny he's ready to go." He hugged me back tightly. "You have to be strong for him. He's condition is very rare. His parents told me about that." I stopped hugging him. "WHEN WERE YOU GONNA TELL ME", I snapped. I ran upstairs to my room and cried.

I didn't want to go to school but my brother made me. In class all I could think about was him and what he told me. So when the teacher called me I didn't know the answer. I know I have to be strong but it just hurts. It hurts to know that he's suffering. The bell rang . I walked to my locker and saw Amy looking at me. She came over and asked me what's up.

I didn't say anything. I just stared at her and put a smile on my face. " Nothings up",I said. Her face twisted up in confusion like she was trying to read me. "Stop looking at me like that", I exclaimed. The people in the hall way were looking at me. I slammed my locker and walked away. I went to the bathroom sat in the corner and cried. Why him God ? Why do you want to take away the one person I love? Is there even a God above? Amy saw me crying and she came by my side to comfort me. We didn't talk she just kept hugging me as I cried on her shoulder. He hasn't even died yet so when he does ...

I stopped crying when I got a call from Jack. " Babe I need you. I need you please please hurry",he said. He was crying. Hearing him cry and sounding worried had me worried. "Ok baby where are you", I asked. When I didn't get an answer back I pulled myself together. I hung up the phone and ran out the school to his house.

When I got to his house I saw the ambulance pulling him out and into the back. I ran up to him but a man stopped me. told me I couldn't go pass. " I'm his girlfriend ",I exclaimed. " Babe",Jack yelled. The guy let me pass. He used all his energy just to yell for me to get his attention. Seeing him weak hurts so bad. He held my hand."I'll be Ok there gonna help me get better." I didn't cry I kissed his cheek."Your a fighter." He smiled.I smiled back. I kept smiling as I saw him strolled away into the back of the ambulance car. I looked at his parents.

"What happened", I asked. His dad looked at me teary eyed. " His blood sugar started dropping fast." I didn't say anything I just walked away . I want to smash everything in my room. I know I have to be strong. Its just hard. No one understands until it happens to them.
