you can't fight cancer 🖤

Chipotle Mishaps

Jacks POV:
when we got to chipotle we all ordered our food and sat down. we began talking and i asked Zach how school was going. "umm i think i'm gonna homeschool for the rest of the school year." alex almost choked on her burrito while looking at zach with shocked eyes. whoops. "zach, i don't want you to do that." i slowly picked up my iced tea and took a sip from the straw while watching carefully at what Zach's response would be. (yes sip that tea jack) "Alex," he grabbed her hand "it's what i want. it's so much easier than real school. and i get to spend more time with you." i looked at Alex who looked like she was about to cry, but not happy tears. "i have to go to the restroom." she stood up and walked away quickly. "Zach, she probably doesn't want you doing things for her, just because she's sick." i tried to explain so that he didn't get mad. "no i understand. but if she ever did die-" he took a deep breath. even saying those words hurt him. "i want to be able to say i spent every minute i could with her." someone walked over to the table. "hi are you zach?" "umm yes?" "Alex is throwing up in the bathroom and asked me if i could come get you." Zach and i jumped up and ran to the bathroom. we asked everyone to please leave immediately so we could enter. Zach locked the door and i walked over to the stall Alex was in. she was on the floor. "omg Alex." "Jack call 911!" the paramedics came and Zach rode in the ambulance with her while i drove the car there. Zach called Myta.

Alexandra's POV:
i woke up to those bright lights and the beeping sound again. Zach grabbed my hand and kissed it. "what happened?" i asked with groggy, half closed eyes. "you threw up at chipotle and passed out on the bathroom floor." "omg, i'm sorry if i embarrassed you. i'm such a fool." i put my hands over my face. Jack came in with Mtya and the kids. the kids ran up to me and asked if i was ok. "ok first you guys are gonna sit." myta said. she looked over at Zach and i could tell she was getting sick of us. i actually feel bad for dragging Zach and Myta into this in the first place. I wish i never talked to Zach on the first day. I wish we still hated each other. I wish my mom and dad were here with me. i wish i didn't have cancer. "Alex!" I was staring off into space thinking. i didn't realize Avery was calling my name. "yeah what's up babe." "why are you crying?" i looked at zach who looked at his mom. "ok guys let's go down to the gift shop so we can get Alex a gift" after they walked out, i became hysterical. "Zach, i can't do this anymore. I can't deal with not having my parents, i can't deal with raising the kids and feeling guilty that your mom feels obligated to doing everything and now you want to throw away high school, the best years of your life i might add. i'm such an idiot. i should've never dragged you into my fucked up life. why did i ever think this would work? that we could be happy together?" Zach was looking at the ground and i saw a single tear slide down his face. "Alex, this is my fault. if i wasn't the way i was all those years. i could've been your friend. i could've been there for you. we can't change what has happened. but just know that i will not live a happy life without knowing you were in it. i need you to understand that i love you and no one can ever change that. you are the love of my life. i just wish i said it sooner. without you, my world is a dark place. i turned to music and even wrote songs about you cause i didn't have you. you are what makes me, me. no matter how hard you try. you can't push me away. unless you don't want my love. but right now i'm laying all my cards out. take em or leave em." the seriousness in his eyes made me still. i closed my eyes hard. "what i want you to do. is go to school, find a girl that loves you as much as i do. i want you to take her out and do the things i can't do. i want you to meet her parents and go to all their family dinners and graduate. i want you to go to college, major in music. become someone and live. live the life i can't live." "Alex-" he picked up his phone and showed his lock screen. it was a picture of me laying on his chest and him kissing my forehead from the night we did it for the first time. "i'm not doing anything without you by my side." as always the doctor that has the WORST timing walked in. "Alex, glad to see you're awake. we have some news, we don't know if it's good or bad yet. but you are pregnant and it might be the reason the chemo doesn't work." i don't think me or zach's jaws have ever dropped so far.
