prove me wrong

Chapter 7. I believe in you

"Rose? Are you ready?" my mom opened the door from my room. Two days passed and it was Monday already. Two days passed after I got the news that my life changed in 180 degrees. I didn't talk to anyone this two days. Maria has been calling me non-stop, Lucas came to my house and wanted to see me, but I told my mother to tell him I wasn't home.

"Yeah, I'm ready." I said and tried to cover the dark circles under my eyes.

"Are you sure you want to go to school?" my mom asked with a sad expression. Actually this is one of the reasons why I didn't want to see anyone these two days. They would look at me with pity. I don't want that. I hate that.

"Yes mom. We talked about it yesterday!" I realized that I can't lock myself in my room till the end of my life. I should get up, I should live the way I used to. This is not the end of the world.

"Okay, I'll be waiting downstairs." my mom said and kissed my forehead.

"Okay mom."

****

"Rose!" I heard Maria as I got out of the car.

"Bye mom!" I said to mom before closing the door and she drove away.

"Rose! How are you? Why weren't you answering my calls. I came to your house, why didn't you let me in?" she said and I felt sorry. I shouldn't have ignored her.

"I'm sorry. I wasn't feeling well."

"Uh..um, actually Rose, your parents told us." I knew that they would. Aunt Ally would be suspicious anyways. She predicts things and knows what will happen tomorrow. Sometimes I think it's freeky 'cause she knows everything that has happened, happens and will happen. "How are you feeling?"

"I'm good, everything okay." I lied. Nothing was okay. Nothing.

"Let's go."

We were walking down the halls when we saw Adrian and Lucas leaning on the lockers.

"Baby!" Adrian said and kissed Maria's cheek. I am not in the mood to say something about their cuteness.

"Rose!" Lucas said when he saw me. "I...I've been. Can we talk?" he said.

"Can we talk during lunch?" I said without looking into his eyes.

"Sure." he said.

"I should leave. My class will start soon." I said and walked away. Actually I had five minutes till my class but I didn't want them to see me like this. I looked like I've gone to hell and escaped from there with Castiel. I got in my class and sat down. I laid my head on the table.

I never told Lucas what the doctor said on Saturday. I just went out hugged him and then I went home. I don't even know why I hugged him. Probably I just needed someone to comfort me, someone to hug me and tell everything's gonna be okay. And he did. I remember sobbing in his arms and him whispering sweet nothings in my ear. I just needed it. I needed it to survive.

****

The bell rang and it was lunch time already. I went out of my class and saw Lucas.

"Rose!" he said and approached me.

"What are you doing here?" I asked.

"I've been waiting for you." My heart skipped a beat. What the hell? It's not that his the first boy waiting for you outside your classroom. Well, of course he is the first, dumbass.

"Why for?" I asked avoiding his gaze.

"It's lunch. You told me we could talk at lunch."

"Oh yeah, I forgot about that." Obviously I didn't forget about it. My head was a mess thinking what should I tell him.

"Let's go." he said and held my hand. This time my heart didn't skip a beat, it started to race like it was in Indianapolis 500.

We walked out of the school to the football field. We sat down on the benches. It was an awkward silence till Lucas decided to talk.

"Is everything okay with you?" he asked looking at me. I shook my head and held back my tears the were itching to run down my cheeks. "What did the doctor say on Saturday?" he asked.

"I...I have a brain tumor." I said and a single tear escaped my eye. "It's in early stage but the chances are little." I said and now my face was covered in tears. Lucas held my hand.

"You'll be okay. You're a strong one." he said and I didn't see a pity in his eyes. "I believe in you, you're a fighter Rose!" he said and hugged me.

I didn't know I needed this words. These two days everyone were like we'll pay for it, just do anything to save her and no one said that they believed in me. I was craving for this words and I didn't know that. I hugged Lucas back. He was tracing me back.

We sat like that for a couple of minutes more than I pulled away. " Thank you." I said and he traced my cheek with his hand. He smiled to me.

"Are you hungry?" he asked.

"Starving." I said and he chuckled. He grabbed his backpack and took out a lunch box out of it.

"You keep lunch boxes?" I said and smirked.

"I do sometimes. My mom makes them when she's home so I take them with me." he said and opened the lunchbox. There were sandwiches and small tiny carrots. I smiled.

"What? I love carrots." he said.

"I didn't say anything." I said and chuckled he glared at me and than chuckled as well.

I just realized that i haven't given any nickname to Lucas today.
