prove me wrong

Chapter 8. That's why you love me

I was just laying on my bad and staring at my ceiling. How did I end up here? How did my life turn 180 so quickly? I still can't believe my life depends on this upcoming week, because I'll have surgery next Monday. What if I don't survive? What if everything ends without even starting? 

To be honest, I'm scared. I'm scared to death. Hah, that sounded funny, scared to death. I'm already dying, duh. 

Suddenly my phone vibrated.

Are you up? - Lucas

Yeah, What's up?- Rose

Just asking. Goodnight than. - Lucas

Night!- Rose

I told Lucas about my condition. I was scared he would pity me like everyone else does, but he didn't. I could have not been happier. There is someone who understands me doesn't look at me those teary eyes, like they suffer more than I do. I saw Lucas's sweet side this morning, the side he carefully hides from everyone.

I was deep in thoughts when my phone vibrated again.

Actually, would you like to get some ice cream? - Lucas

Now? - Rose

No, the following year! - Lucas

Of course now. Get ready. I'll be at your house. - Lucas

You know where I live? - Rose

Yeah. Just get ready. - Lucas

And wear something warm, it's chilly outside. - Lucas

It's chilly and he wants ice cream. What the hell?  

I got up and wore black jeans and a gray sweater. I grabbed my wallet, my phone and my sneakers and tip toed to a front door. I wore my shoes and opened the front door. Lucas was already standing outdoor. Does he have some kind a super power? Can he teleport? I ran down the stairs and realized that I didn't make one of my shoe laces when I was already flying in the air. I landed on Lucas and hit my head against his hard chest.

"Auuuw!" Lucas growled and I backed away quickly. "Is it a head or a rock?" he said and held his chest.

"I'm sorry." I said holding back my smile. "Are you going to be a drama queen or should we go?" I said and he glared at me.

"Tsk, let's go." he said and walked away.

"Yaah, wait for me." I said and tried to catch up with him with my short legs." How do you know where I live?" I asked.

"I asked Maria the day you got in-Uhm..Um. It's not important tho." he said.

"Yeah!" I said when I already was walking beside him. 

After five minutes we were standing before the ice cream shop. He went inside and as expected it was empty, because besides Lucas no one will go to the ice cream shop at 11 pm. 

"Hi!" the girl standing behind the cashier greeted us. Well not us, just Lucas.

"Hey!" Lucas said with a serious face. "Rose? What's your favorite flavor?" he asked looking at ice creams.
