The New Roommates ▷ Toddy Smith

Chapter 18

I'm so sorry.

When his eyes meet mine I see the hurt in his eyes, he stands up and walks up to me, staring me down.

"Leave" he says sternly looking down at me

"No Todd" I say looking up at him, not giving in.

"I don't want you here" he says getting closer

"Tell me, tell me Todd that you don't love me. Tell me that after all this time, I'm just a friend to you and that you have no feelings for me" I say looking into his eyes as my eyes fill with tears

He turns around and begins to walk away towards his bed

"I love you!" I shout as he turns around to face me, his dark brown eyes stare into my light hazel ones as my heart starts beating faster than ever

"I have since the day I met you, and since then, what I've felt has only grown. My thoughts can't fucking move without them being constantly drawn back to you!" I yell as he slowly gets closer and I look down "its you, you're it. You're my world."

He's so close that his warm breathe falls upon my cheeks, I look up and he crashes his lips on mine. He lifts me up and carries me to his bed as we continue kissing.

"I love you too" he says when we breathe in between kisses

I pull away quickly and remove his hands from me sitting up on the edge of the bed, he moves himself beside me and stares at me.

"Why did you do it?" I ask staring ahead at the closet

"Do what?" He asks look at me

"Break my heart for no reason." I say still staring ahead

"I-" he starts before I cut him off

"HOW COULD YOU?" I say looking at him with tear filled eyes

"Madeline, I need to tell you something." He says letting out a sharp breath

"What?" I mumble wiping away my tears

"The truth" he says standing up "look, I-I didn't  know how to tell you so I decided I wouldn't but now I have to."

"Todd just tell me" I plead

"I'm sick, I-I went to to the ICU because I was having a lot of pains here and there."

"No" I said panicked "you're not sick"

"So I went for a PET scan and all the lights lit up, it's spreading everywhere Madeline" he said with a sincere look on his face

"S-so w-what's going to happen?" I ask looking at him with tears pouring from my eyes

"It's a different type of disease, somewhat like cancer but I don't have the same side effects, it's a slower killer and the worst part..." he trailed off looking at the ground with a shrug "there's absolutely no cure"

I felt my heart shatter and fall to the bottom of my stomach, I grabbed my stomach and screamed as I cried my eyes out. I felt Todd wrap himself around me and I screamed and cried until I couldn't breathe.

"What the fu-" Scott said has he barged in the door because of my screaming

"I told her" Todd said, I could tell he was crying by the sound of his voice

I heard the door close and I calmed myself down, still whimpering here and there. I look at Todd who's also cry and I grab his face looking into his dark brown eyes.

"How long?" I ask the question I was dreading the most

"5 years if I'm lucky" he answers stroking my hair behind my ear

"We're going on a vacation" I say "we're both going to live like we're dying"

"Madeline" he says grabbing my hands "I don't have the money"

"My treat, when my parents passed I got whatever they had. I was born into wealth and I'm taking my boyfriend on a nice vacation!" I demand

"Alright. okay. fine." he says smiling at me as our lips crash together

Todd and I decided to book our flight to Miami, we leave tomorrow!
I can't wait to have the time of our lives and I just can't wait to be with him all alone, away from distractions.
