Grenade

Chapter Nine.

Those words haunted me.He took my hand in his and sat down on the bench next to me.He looked down at the floor as my words probably echoed through his head.

"I can't stand this." He said under his breath making me cry even more.

"Its not my fault I got this and if I didn't , non of this would of happened!"I said wanting to hug him for some familiar comfort.He still had his head in his hands and was staring down at the grass.I looked at him , he looked in pain , he was more pale than usual.

"Your going to live. I don't care what you say , your going to live regardless of what anyone says. Your keeping your distance even though you know if you didn't have this we would be together by now.I love you grace and nothings going to stop me from doing just that." He looked deeply into my eyes and hugged me meaningfully and reassuring me.

I kissed him on the cheek and sat there with my head on his shoulder."Its just not reality though." I said standing up and walking inside.

I headed upstairs and sat on my window seat once again before he followed in after me.

"What happens next?" He said unsure on what's happening.He stood their awkwardly before sitting on the floor near enough next to me.

"For once I actually don't know." I said thinking of something to say to lighten the depressing mood.

"I still have one wish." I kinda blurted out not realising what I'm saying.

"What ?" He said curious and sounding confused.

"When you have a disease that can kill you and that its a good chance it will , they grant you a wish. Anything that you want they will do or get it for you."

"What's your wish then?" He asked sweeping his hair over to the side ever so slightly.

"That's why your here!" I said obviously wanting him to make the decision for me.He sat there for a while just silent. I think what happened before was going through our minds but I didn't understand what I did wrong.I don't want to hurt him when it happens.
