Confident

It's been a few hours.
It's been a few hours since Sebastian broke the news to me.
It's been a few hours since I finally found out the truth and it's been a few hours since Sebastian and I came up with a plan to figure out why my parents are pretending I have cancer.

-

"So what do we do? Should I go talk to them about it or sh-"

"No! You don't go them about this!"

"Then what can I do Sebastian, what are they giving me for chemo? Why is this happening?!" I cry out in frustration, I just wanted answers and I know I'm going to get them sooner or later, I just hope and pray to every god that exists that it's sooner rather than later.

"Look," Sebastian grabs my shoulders gently causing me to face him, our faces mere inches apart. I would've freaked out if it wasn't for the situation at hand. "They don't know that you know or that we had this conversation so for right now, you're as clueless as you were before, got it?"

I nod slowly at what the man in front of me was telling me, he was actually making sense.

"So what do I do? How are we going to go about this?"

"While your parents are around, you act normal. When they're away home, you, mum and I will plan," I nod at what he's saying letting him know I understand, this causes him to release his hold on my shoulders and take a step back.

"Ok, got it. Act normal around them, become an agent-slash-ninja-slash-detective during night," I nod at him before turning around to head back to my room.

"Wait," I suddenly call out, an idea coming to my head. I turn around to see Sebastian staring at me expectantly. "Are we going to get walkie talkie's? 'Cuz I've always wanted to have a walkie talkie, I mean I used to when I was younger but it was just me on both sides and -"

"Go to sleep Brianna, we'll worry about everything tomorrow night," he chuckles at me which forms a grin on my face, I nod at his words for the nth time before making my way to my room to rest like Sebastian said. I better get my walkie talkies or I'm going to be pissed.

It was now night time and mum and dad were away home, it was time for Sebastian to tell me what his plan was and I couldn't wait. Anxiousness and anticipation is what I have been feeling ever since I woke up this morning and I think my parents caught on to my weird behaviour today, they didn't question it but I could feel their worried glances at me... 'worried' ha!

"It's show time!" I yell to no one in particular, I was excited now - most likely due to me being able to speak about what has been bugging me for almost 24 hours now.

"Shut up," Sebastian rolls his eyes at me causing a grin to wash over my face, this causes Jessica - Sebastian's mum - to giggle at us.

"So what's the plan Sargent?" I ask with an ear splitting grin still placed perfectly on my small heart shaped face.

"Ok so here's the plan," there's a slight pause - probably from Sebastian thinking of how to word everything to make sense. "Although you don't actually have cancer, your parents asked the staff to treat you like a patient. This means checking up on you every now and again, chemo, medicine and operations so we need an excuse for us talking, the nurses are obviously going to tell your mum and dad that we are closer than ever when we talk about this all."

"How about you pretend to grow interest in each other then eventually act like you have a crush on one another," Jessica butts in (HAHA BUTT) , her idea was smart but could I really pull off this whole thing. I'm horrible at lying but that isn't that problem because I have a massive crush on Sebastian and I think Jessica knows that and just wants to torture me, the thing I'm worried about is developing feelings for him more, I can't have my crush growing for him then it'll lead to heartbreak.

"Good idea mum!" Sebastian exclaimed with a huge smile on his face. "You are truly amazing!"

I let out a shaky sigh, was I really going to go along with this? Was I really going to risk my feelings growing more for this boy? I have no other choice, or a better choice.

"Is that ok with you Brianna?" Sebastian suddenly asked, I didn't expect him to ask for my opinion at all, I nod to his question not wanting to cause a hassle.

"Yeah... yeah it's smart," I choke out trying to control my breathing, I don't think I could do this at all....

"Great!" We smile at each other as Jessica watches with a small smirk on her face, I knew she knew something that sneaky little bitch.

That's when reality crashes onto me, I'm in some deep shit....

Fuck!
