Chapter 3

This Harry guy was definitely the cherry on top of an eventful day, i went back to my room, after feeling a horrid headache. having a headache is normal for me, so i called for Karen to give me some painkillers. 

She got them a few minutes later with a glass of warm water, i placed them in the back of my throat, and drank a large amount of water, causing them to disappear into my stomach.

"So, i saw you speaking to someone in the cafeteria, who're they?" she said wiggling her eyebrows, causing me to giggle at her assumptions. 

"The blonde one’s name is Niall, i met him yesterday, his friend was shot and he was in no mood to talk, and the curly one’s name is Harry, he is Niall's friend, we barely even talked.”

"Have an eye on one?" she asked and i giggled, yet again.

"Well, there was this guy at the park,” i said, feeling the heat creep up to my cheeks "his name is Joey, and he's so kind, we played football together" i explained and she gasped, smiling as she took a seat on the edge of my bed.

“Woah, three guys in a day?" she asked playfully, i chuckled shyly.

“It’s not like that, you make it sound so bad,” i said hiding my face in my hands "It's just that Joey was so kind and… kinda cute" i said and she smiled fondly.

"Honey, i'm so happy for you, you deserve someone to make you happy” she said as i reached out to hug her.

“I have to go now, call me if you need anything" she said and disappeared behind the door.

I turned the T.V on and nothing was on, so i watched a giraffe documentary that was on, half-way through, i felt my eyes get heavier and i turned the T.v off as i drifted into a peaceful world. 

I woke up and for once i was excited to go to the park and meet Joey, i dressed as fast as i can, not fretting to wear the hat with the bow on it, it was the best one i owned. I hurried through the hallways and into the park, i saw his group of friends, and there he was, right in the middle. I intentionally walked in front of them to get him to notice my existence.

I heard foot steps behind me, Joey's voice following next, he called my name, making me turn to him with a smile.

"Wanna grab some ice cream?" he asked with a smile.

"Sure" i said trying to suppress my excitement.

"Cool" he said casually, with a small shrug of his shoulders before leading us to a small ice cream parlour, i ordered cookies and cream ice cream and he ordered the same, when i was about to get my wallet he had already payed. What a gentleman, i'm sure Harry doesn't even pay at first dates.

"How was your session yesterday?" he asked, seeming concerned 

"It was the same, you get used to them" i answered honestly. 

"Does it hurt?.”

“It kinda does, especially the headache and the stomach ache that comes after. But it's nothing like the first one. now that was horrible" i explained beginning to lick my ice cream.

"How was the first one like?" he asked, leaning forward on his chair out of interest.

"It was the hardest, i remember screaming, and crying while my hair fell every time i touched it with my hand.”

"Don't they shave it before the chemo?" he asked confused.

"They do, but i had a hope that my hair would stay and won't fall" i said giggling at how stupid i was.

"You're so strong, i wouldn't even imagine how hard it would be if i had cancer at such a young age.” 

“I was 18, not so young.”
