Joshua King and Little Things

chapter 8

When the movie was over we walked out of the movie theater holding hands. our faces still damp from crying about the movie. "Hey, why don't we go for a walk?" Josh said turning his head to me.

"OK, sounds good." I said.

we started walking to this big park with a pond beside it. he wrapped Hus arm around my shoulders and pulled me in closer to him so I wrapped my arms around his waist.

he looked down at me and I looked up at him. he leaned down and kissed my forehead. I wanted to tell him what happened while I was gone in Maryland. but I didn't want him to freak out and leave me.

"josh, I need to talk to you about something." I said softly.

"what is it sweety?" he asked.

"we need to sit down." I said.

"OK, are you breaking up with me?" he asked full of worry.

"no, no, of course not." I said.

"then what is it?" he asked sitting us down on a park bench.

"so, when I was in Maryland.... I wasn't feeling to good, I had constant pain in my liver. so my aunt took me to the hospital and they did a PET scan on me. and it ended up being cancer. they want to treat me for it but I don't want to be treated. I want to be here with you. and no matter what you say, I'm not leaving. I can't leave you. I can't do it, josh please don't make me leave, this is what I want." I said crying uncontrollably.

"heaven.... you need treatment. if you want to be with me then I will stop touring and sit in the hospital with you everyday until your better. your going to make it through this I know you will. you have to make it through this. I don't know what I would do without you. your my life." he said crying as he ran his hands through his hair and leaned his head into his lap.

"I don't know what the future holds for me josh but I will promise you that I will fight for my life as hard as I can every single day. and not a day will go by that I won't fight this for you." I said wrapping my arms around him and pulling him up to look at me. "I will be fine. stay on tour. I will see you when you get back home." I said crying even more.

"heaven I don't want you to leave. I never know when my last minute is with you." he said.

"then let's make the best of it and let's stay on tour together." I said kissing him lightly.

"okay." he said.

we got back to the house and josh pulled triston in their room and talked to him about it and told him that we would be out doing more things so we can make up for what will be lost in the future.
