You look back up towards the hill, you can't see Nathan..you're not sure if he's coming or not. You feel bad for leaving him hanging, you didn't mean to. Before you can consider going back up Warren pulls up in his car quickly, you get in really fast.

"Drive!" you yell as you close the door, he does as told

"What?! What happened?!" he looks worried

"I'm sorry about earlier...and..nothing happened. Nothing major.."

"Don't apologize, I was being a bit of a jerk..we probably both were," he has a slight grin on his face, "You worried me, you told me to hurry..like something was wrong. I saw Nathan's truck, did he do something to you?"

"No! Nothing like that! It's just," you feel the sensation against your lips, the tingly feeling you got when his lips touched yours..as lame as it may sound that was your first kiss, "He..he just.." it's hard for you to even take in the thought, it was so surreal. Especially since it was Nathan, you didn't even know he liked or saw you that way...

"He what?!" Warren persisted, wanting you to answer;worried that Nathan did something wrong

"He....kissed me." you whispered,

"What? Really?" Even Warren himself sounds surprised

"Yes...I was..crying and telling him how I was afraid that one day I would just..disappear and that I was sorry if I did, " you shifted in the seat "I..I think he mistook my words and thought I was thinking of ending my life, before I could tell him the truth...he kissed me."

"Is...is that bad or good?" Warren questioned, giving you a quick glance before returning his eyes to the road

"I mean...I...liked it. It was my first kiss but it's bad."

"It was a bad kiss?"

"No, that's not what I mean," you chuckle before becoming serious, "It's bad because he doesn't know...I'm not gonna lead him on either. Even if I did start having feelings for him, I can't date him..."

"How come you can't just tell him?"

"Because then he'll have to lose me, I don't want him to experience that pain...I can tell he's had enough of it."

"You need to tell him either way, (Y/N). Look if you really don't think you'll make it," he pauses, hating having to mention anything about losing you, "Then he needs to know. If you never told me and one day you just...--well..I'd be very angry with you." he frowns

"I know...I just..I don't want to. I'm too...scared." you admit

"What ,why?"

"Because what if I do have feelings...for him. I'll start wanting to spend my whole life with him, and then...I'll die. I'll die never doing the things I'd want to do with him."

"You need to tell him, look...I know that even if you will," he sighs, not wanting to say it again, "Then you'll never do the things you want to do..either way. You should do everything you want..just in case."

"You're right...I just need to find the courage..." you sigh,Warren parks the car in the parking lot of the hospital..you almost forgot about your treatment

"Cmon. After this we can go to your room and watch a movie, I'll make sure you don't puke everywhere too." he chuckles and gets out the car, you do the same and follow him into the building.
