Pain, Blood, Love

Chapter 4

                Kyles POV

I was surprised she was kissing me but I didn't move. I let it happen. I loved it.I could feel her soft, warm lips against mine. I felt a warm tingling inside my heart. She pulled away gently. She fell to her knees and layed her Head on my chest, crying.

That's when I realized there was a reason she kissed me. a reason she was crying on my chest. something  must of happened. I frowned and comforted her.

Eventually I closed my eyes and drifted off into a sleep.

 

I woke up what seemed like minutes later but it had actually been two and a half hours according to the clock above my headboard. I looked to my side only to see Claudia curled up in a ball next to me, fast asleep. Tears still shone in her eyes.

     "Kyle sweetheart? Claudia?" I heard a soft familiar voice outside my hospital door.

I instantly knew the older woman who walked through the door. her long silky blonde hair and gleaming green eyes; Claudia's mom.

She sat down at a chair to the side of the room. her eyes flickered from Claudia to me. She smiled , but I could see sorrow in her eyes.

                Claudia's POV

I opened my eyes slowly to Kyle's warms side. I stood up, looking at kyle. he smiled warmly at my. I looked at my mother who sat across the room and burst into tears. Kyle put his arms around me

     "What's wrong Claudia?" He frowned.

   I cried even harder and stood up to go sit by my mother. I hugged her tightly.

     "You didn't tell him sweetheart?" My mother asked half question half telling. she could tell it hurt me to see kyle like this.

       "tell me what?" I heard kyle ask.

My Mom sighed loudly.

     "Kyle... You were at school when you collapsed. Your principal called 911 and you were taken to the hospital... They took samples of your bone marrow, and....

       "And what?" I heard kyle ask east my moms slight pause.

   She sighed heavily, I knew tears where coming. "You were diagnosed with ALL leukemia..." She said, her voice cracking. I knew my mom thought of Kyle as a second son.

    I looked up to see kyles reaction. His face was blank. he was in udder shock, but I could still see the tears forming in his eyes.

My mom sighed and stood. "I'll give you too a minute." She stepped out the door, closing it behind her.

    I stood up, covering my mouth with my hands. The tears burned my eyes. I walked over to kyle and sat next to him, wrapping my arms around him.

He turned to look at me.

   "Kyle I..." I couldn't say anymore or I would cry.

     He closed his eyes and kissed me softly.

    I didn't expect that, But I kissed him back deeper this time. the tears started to drip down my face.

     I pulled away "I'm so sorry Kyle" I looked into his eyes, trying to read him.

   He did not say anything. that's when my mom walked back in.

    "The doctor gave us the schedule." She said looking at Kyle. "Kyle. Please, come stay with us... at least for a while..."

He looked from me to my mom. "Please." He said, a tear came down his face.

    I stood up, holding back tears and walked outside.

    

   A few minutes later my mom and Kyle came outside and we started towards the car. I could tell Kyle had been crying, his eyes were swelled and red. I felt like a hole had drilled itself inside my heart.
