Chapter 21

"Who is she even? Why does she have to be so cute with Liam?" I rolled my eyes as I complained to Alexa.

"The son of a bitch told me her name was Lily. I mean how girly is that even! And listen to that, lily and Liam." Alex went on.

"They sound so cute together." I feel like crying as I lay next to Alexa.

"Hey! You're over him remember." She calms me down.

"I'll never be."

"Oh my fuck! If you never get over him I'll have to kill him. The old Liam can't come to the phone right now. Why? Oh, because he's dead." Alexa sang a part of a song we enjoyed but just changed the names around a bit.

I laughed.
How did she always know how to make me smile.

Lily and Liam. I repeated their names in my head as I walked home from the hospital.

Miley get over yourself! I shout to myself.
I got a strange looks for a passing women who scanned me.

I was about to pull my middle finger at her but decided it's best to ignore her and turn around.

Starbucks! I read the sign as I look up.

"I little treat couldn't hurt." I say quietly to myself.

I walked through the door, "One caramel Frappuccino to go please." I walk up to the counter.

"Take a seat. It'll be right with you." The waitress smiles.

I do as she says and sit down at a booth and take out my phone.

"Well well well. Look who's here."

I looked up from my phone to be baffled by a familiar face.

"Oh. Hey Kyle." I smile.

"Mind if I take a seat?"

"Go for it." I say.

"Haven't heard from you in a while. How you doing?"

"Um. I um. I'm ok."

There was a moment of silence.

"No you're not.You're fiddling with your nails."

I stopped and put my hands on my lap.

"So? What's wrong?"

"Ok. It's Alexa. Her cancer. It's bad. That's all."

"Oh. Gee. I um, I don't know what to say. I'm really sorry Miley."

"Don't be."

He looked at me from across the table and then I felt his foot slide up my leg.

He looked at me.

Face more attractive then ever.
Biting his lip.
I suddenly felt butterflies appear in my tummy and I started biting my own lip as I watched him.
Tingling feeling in my body.

I was suddenly woken from my dream as my order had been placed in front of me.

"Does your boy friend want a drink?" I waiter asks.

I look at Kyle.

"Same as hers please." He says.
