Cancer Girl

5

Dedicated to SunDanielle because she's my ULTIMATE FAVORITE AUTHOR MHMMMM your books are amaaaaazing :D

"You know, being a cancer is very, um, awesome."

I look at Bryan funny. "What lead you to talking about this hm?" I ask. He shrugs. "I seriously don't know." I laugh. "Back to your statement, I don't know what it's like being a cancer."

Bryan nods. "Oh. But do you like having cancer as your zodiac, if you know what I mean?" I think for a moment. "Well, yeah. It's makes me feel 'special' and it makes me think about the disease." He smiles. "Oh, that's cool."

We sit in silence. We were at the park, and watching the ducks fight for our bread we threw at them. "Yeah, I guess." He nods. "So, did you get in trouble?" I look at him and shake my head. "Nah, Nathan was asleep and he left me a note."

"Oh. My dad gave me a lecture and all that junk, just the normal parenting." I sigh. "At least your dad cares, and are there for you." Bryan's mouth forms an o-shape. "Hey, it's ok. At least Nathan's there for you."

I shrug. "I sound like one of those over dramatic people." I grip my hair. He laughs. "Oh trust me, I know what a overly dramatic person is like. And people need their parents, so it's ok."

I nod. "Thanks, I guess." And we were back to the silence. "Hey, what are you gonna do when you graduate high school?" Bryan asks.

"Maybe go to Boston University, get a job, have kids." He nods. "You know, I'd go to BU when I graduate, and if I ever survive." I nudge him playfully. "Hey, stop that. You're gonna make it. Don't worry, I'll be there with you every step."

He gives me a hopeful look. "You sure?" I nod. "I'm sure." Then Bryan hugs me, which was totally unexpected. "Thank you." He whispers. I hug him back. "You're welcome."

We let go, and continue watching the ducks as if none of this ever happened.

Bryan dropped me off back home, and I unlocked the door to find Nathan frowning. "What?" I ask. "Hug?" I look at him funny. "Um," I go over to him where he put his arms out and hugged him. "You ok?" He nods. "Just miss our little bonding."

I let go. "Whoa. Whoa whoa whoa. Whoa. What do you mean?" I ask. He tilts his head. "What do you mean?" I look at him. "Nate, I know you. If mom was here and forced us to bond, one of us would go to the hospital!" I fling my arms around.

Then he laughs. "I knew that. I just wanted to see how you would react to it." I groan and he laughs,and I smack him in the face. "Oh! That hurt you meanie!" I laugh. "Oops."

He glares at me. "But just saying, let us bond! Like, go to McDonalds, eat chicken, go to McDonalds." I laugh. "You said McDonalds twice you idiot." Nathan sticks his tongue out. "I knew that."

I roll my eyes. "Sure."

Nathan sighs. "So, McDonalds?" I nod. "Sure, I'd like me some burgers."

He cheers and runs to the car. We drive over to the restaurant and head inside and order. "So, how's you two love birds doing?" Nathan asks. I smack his arm. "I don't date. And I don't know what you're talking about." He rolls his eyes. "Yeah you do, it's Bryan."

I face palm myself. "You idiot, we aren't dating." Nathan sighs. "Sure."

As I watch Nathan wait, I start to notice things about my brother. The way his hair isn't too long, or too short. His blue green eyes sparkles all the time, if he weren't my brother I'd have a crush on him.

But he's my brother, and Nathan is weird.

What does Emmy see in him?

"Hey Chey, let's go." I snap out of my little moment and find Nathan carrying our tray. "Oh, ok. Coming!" I walk over to him and we sit down at a table. "We eat here a lot." I state as I take a bite of my burger.

Nathan doesn't say anything.

"Nate? Hello? Hellooooo?" I wave my hand across his face. "Hm?" He snaps out of his little moment. "Hey, you're not talking. Something bothering you?" Nathan gives me look. "No, nothing."

Knowing him for a long time, he was lying. "Nathan, you sure?" He nods and I sigh. A few seconds later, I jump on him. "THERE'S SOMETHING WRONG TELL ME NATHAN!" I hit his head multiple times as he hits me back. "Stop, stop!" I continue hitting him.

Ok, so maybe I shouldn't have done that. That continued for a couple of minutes then he smacked me with chicken nuggets.

"Ow! That hurt!"

I fall down to the floor and glare at Nathan. "Meanie." He laughs and eats a nugget. I get up and look around. Surprisingly no one saw the commotion, considering that our generation is obsessed with electronic devices, like me.

I sigh and go back to my seat. "But seriously, there's something wrong here. Tell?" He shakes his head. "Nope." I grin. "AHA! I knew it! You were hiding something!" He groans. "Ok, fine, I do. But I'm not telling."

Glaring at him we continue eating, with the thought of what Nathan's little secret was.

- - - - -

I was in my room, doing my homework even though it was Saturday, and I could be on Netfilx watching The Avengers. Yet. I have a project due on Monday that I haven't started, so this choice was better.

"Psst. Cheyanne?"

Then pebbles started piling up on my carpet floor. I sigh and get out of my bed to face the window. A pebble hits my eye. "Ow." I cover my right eye and face the person, who was Bryan. "Oops, sorry!"

I glare at him with my unswollen (idk if that's even a word but whatever) eye. "Whatever. Why are you anyway, stalker?" I joke. He grins. "Just want to talk to you." I roll my eyes. "Any why?"

Bryan smirks. "First let me in." I shake my head. "Nathan might catch me. So tell me here now." Then he shakes his head. "Nope. Sorry."

"Twat." I mutter as I go downstairs and open the door. "Why hello my dear friend." I glare at him and pull him inside. "Let's go." I rush upstairs after closing the door, leaving Bryan behind. "Hey, wait up!"

Later he comes to my room, and we sit on my bed. "So, what were you gonna tell me?" Bryan laughs. "Nothing. I just wanted to come over." I smack his arm and he fake gasps. "Hey! That hurt!" We continue "fighting", and then I fall on my back on the floor, with Bryan on top of me.

I didn't notice this before, but his eyes were blue, with some gold in them. His hair blonde, and some brown highlights. Our breathes become heavy, and he just stares.

"Cheyanne, Bryan, what are you doing?"

Oh shoot.
