Too Skinny

I Don't Understand

I walk out of the elevator and go to the front desk. I check in with the lady and trudge to Will's room. As soon as I walked in, I saw Will with a girl on his bed. She was on top of him and reading along with him. I clear my throat and she looks up and smiles. She is gorgeous! She has silky blond hair and her bangs hang over her eyes just high enough for her to see. She has freckles covering her nose and cheeks. She has a red strapless knee length dress with polka dots on it. I notice that her lips are covered with red lipstick and she has a cats eye and natural eye shadow on her face. If she wasn't dating my ex, I would have liked her. I look down at her feet and see that she's wearing closed toe black lace up wedges that come up to her ankle. She looks fabulous. She gets up and walks over to me.

"Hi." she says, with a smile on her face. "My name is Katie-Rose, but you can call me K.R." she hugs me and walks back to Will. Her name shouldn't be Katie-Rose! That's an adorable name. It should be Evil Boyfriend Stealer. E.B.S for short.  He greets her with a super hot and intense kiss that was made for private but was shown to me. I clear my throat again and she pulls away, her cheeks blushing and her teeth biting her lip. Probably a nasty habit of hers. She probably only does it when she's embarrassed. I smile and walk over to her, my arm raised. 

"I'm Flower." she shakes my hand and my eyebrows furrow and my teeth bare. "People usually just call me Flower." Her hand slithers back, like she's touched something slimy and gross. Will gets out of bed and wraps his arm around her to protect her. I remember when he used to do that to me. Used to. Humph. I cross my arms over my chest and give Will the evil eye. 

"She seems like a keeper." I snarl at him. She cowers and Will holds her tighter. 

"Yes Flower. She is a keeper. And I would like it if you would leave it at the present tense." His eyes are supposed to be hard and mean, but instead they are soft and kind. I melt under them and and uncross my arms. I make my eyes kind instead of vicious. E.B.S's body calms down and she stand more relaxed then scared.

"So what do you do for a living?" I ask. I don't really care, but I want to be nice. She smiles, grateful for the small talk.

"I work with the W.W.F." she says. I'm utterly confused. 

"They help endangered species like pandas, polar bears, sea turtles, tigers. You know. All of those endangered animals." 

I roll my eyes. Of course she helps endangered animals. Only E.B.S can look that great and help dying animals as well.

"What do you do?" she asks, curiosity in her eyes. Obviously she didn't see my hospital gown and my bald head. They're the most noticeable things on my body. 

"I'm battling cancer." I say. Her eyes turn confused. 

"What kind of cancer?" she asks. She has got to be freaking kidding me. 

"Brain." I say, motioning my head as I say it. She blushes and plays with her lip. 

"Oops." 

"Yeah oops you stupid blond." I mutter to myself. Obviously not well enough because E.B.S's eyes fill with tears and she runs out of the door. I smile , my eyes following her to the door. I turn back around to face Will and I see that he has his head in his hands. 

"What?" I ask. He lifts his head and looks at me with plead in his eyes. 

"Can you just try to be nice?" he asks. I roll my eyes and snort.

"Why would I do that?" I ask. He slowly gets up and stands next to me. 

"Because I love her." he says. I think my heart has actually dropped out of my butt. I look down. Yup. There is flopping on the floor like a fish out of water. I look up at Will again, my eyes brimming with tears.

"I thought that you love.......me?" I ask, my voice sounding squeaky and harmless. He shakes his head and sits back on his bed. 

"It was in the moment." he says. I can't believe it. He told me that he loved me. He told me that I was the only thing keeping him from dying. I wonder if his name is even Will. I wonder if he actually has liver cancer. My breathe quickens and I slowly back out of the room. He gets up and walks towards me. He touches my arm and I swat it away.

"DON'T TOUCH ME YOU LYING JERK!" I scream in to his face, tears spilling out of my eyes, my cheeks warm from my tears. 

"Do you know what?" I say to him, no longer yelling, but whispering. "I made the mistake of falling in love with you. Do you know how hard it is to fall out of love with someone? Obviously not because you've never lost someone you loved." I wipe my tears. 

"But Flower, you broke up with me." he says, confusion in his eyes. I come close to him, my teeth bared and my heart beat quickening. 

"I'm a human Will. Humans make mistakes." I turn around to start to leave when he says something. 

"You know I actually started to fall in love with you, but then I realized that I was falling for an ugly anorexic brat." I stop in my tracks, turn around and pounce on him. He falls to the ground and I start to punch and scratch his face. My nails are digging deeper and deeper in to his skin and even though my knuckles hurt like the dickens, I keep punching him. I get off of him and spit on his gown. 

"I'm beautiful." I say. 

"Full of yourself much?" I walk over and start to kick him in the ribs, until he passes out. 

"I think I've made my point." I say, smiling. I wipe the hair out of my eyes and start to clean the skin under my nails and the blood on my knuckles.
