~chapter 37~
Maddie POV
Taylor has been spending his nights at my house with me and my mom.
But today was his first day of chemotherapy.
Taylor hopped into my car and we drove off to a specialized hospital.
As I was driving, Taylor turned up the volume.
"Lower it Taylor!" I yelled at him. I thought it was a serious situation. I couldn't wrap my head around it.
"WE LIVE IN CITIES. YOULL NEVER SEE OUR STREET NOT VERY PRETTY BUT WE SURE KNOW HOW TO RUN FREE" Taylor began to sing but I call it yelling.
I smirked at his stupidity and decided to sing.
"IM KINDA OVER GETTIN TOLD TO THROW MY HANDS UP IN THE AIR SO THERE" We sang along to the song Team by Lorde.
After several songs, we arrived at the place.
I took a deep breath and got out of the car.
I stood next to Taylor and walked him inside to the front desk.
"How may I help you?" The lady asked.
"Yes, we are here for an appointment." I respond.
"Name?" She questioned.
"Um. Taylor. Caniff. Taylor Caniff." He answered for me.
I could tell he was nervous. His palms were sweating and he couldn't stop tapping his foot.
The lady led us to a room and left us there.
As we waited, I stared at Taylor. I noticed some bald patches in his head. His medicine causes him to lose his hair.
But he still wore his bandana in pride.
"Taylor?" A doctor walked in. We sat up straight and nodded our heads.
"Well, this is a little private. Can you give a few minutes alone?" The doctor asked me.
I grabbed Taylor's hand tight and laid my head on his shoulder.
I got up slowly and walked out.
I sat there watching the small tv in the corner of the wall.
"Maddie?" The doctor asked for me.
I got up immediately and headed into Taylor's room.
I walked inside and saw Taylor being examined by another doctor.
He glanced at me and made a weird face at the lady to make me laugh.
After 1/2 hour, the appointment ended.
We signed out, got into my car and headed home.
"Maddie?" Taylor asked.
"Yeah." I say keeping my eyes on the road but still giving my attention to Taylor.
"Maddie. We have been best friends since 4th grade! And you have been my world ever since. You are probably the best thing that ever happened to me. And to declare that, Madeline Sierra Delgado, will you..."
I stopped at the side of the road and moved my body towards him.
I began to cry.
"Marry me?" He finished.
I was confused. We are only 17. I haven't even finished school.
"Taylor we are only 17! I love you dearly but this isn't the right time." I explain.
"Maddie." Tears escaped his eyes and stared into mine.
"The doctor told me I only have 6 months to live."
