A Pie in The Sky

Chapter Twelve (Final Chapter)

Chapter 12

When Daya got home, she cried all night, she cried till her eyes were so swollen that scientifically she might not have any more tears to cry. Fred tried to call her multiple times, but she didn't answer, the calls made her even more upset, so she turned off her phone. Around midnight, after crying for multiple hours she turned on her phone and called Butch.

"hey" she said lowly while sobbing

"hello Daya, what is wrong? I have been trying to contact you all day, did Fred do something? Oh, if he did I am going to kill him" he said firstly sounding worried then angry

"well you could try, but I think cancer might beat you to it" she said before beginning to cry again

"oh my God. How? When? What type? How bad? How long does he have? I know you are not ok but how bad are you?" he said worriedly

"I am very bad, but this is honestly not about me. Butch he might die, I try to stay positive, but I don't know if I can do this. How can I pretend to be strong? I am horrible person, I just found out my boyfriend has cancer and I am bitching about myself. Butch I ran out on him, what if he gets depressed or kills himself? Oh my gosh, I am horrible, I should be the one with cancer. I should be punished for life being so fair to me, I have it all good, yet I am always bitching." She said hysterically as she jumped from one emotion to the other

"I really do not know what to say Daya, but I think you should call him and apologize because he needs you right now" he said calmly yet worriedly.

"yes, yes, thanks Butch, I have to call him and stop being a selfish bitch. Thank you so so much. I love you Butch" she said hurriedly as she hung up the phone.

Butch thought about Daya all night, he thought about their friendship and how far they have come, he thought about Fred and what his condition could do to her and he thought about how she meant that "I love you". He ignored Ariana all night because every time she rang the phone, he expected Daya.

Daya called Fred immediately after the call with Butch, he answered immediately like he had been waiting for the phone to ring. Before she could say a word, he said "Daya I am so sorry I didn't tell you, I was scared, and I didn't know how to. I was being a coward and risked you and that makes me incredibly stupid. I love you Daya, more than all the other things I love in this world combined and multiplied."

"Fred I am so sorry, you shouldn't be apologizing, I should. I can imagine how hard all this is for you and I can imagine why you would be afraid to tell me. I should have been there for you but, yet I stormed out acting like a little baby bitch. I do love you Fred and I am deeply sorry "she said calmly.

"can I come over? I need to see you to make sure you are ok." He said worriedly.

"I would love that but no, I have been crying for the past many hours and I look like absolute shit. I need some time to think and strategized. I would come see you tomorrow with a planned day so be expecting me" she said calmly but with a cracked voice as she had cried her voice away.

"I love you Daya" he said, and she hung up the phone without saying a word. She thought about some plans for them and barely had any sleep.

She woke up feeling heavy, she felt like she had a huge weight on her emotionally and physically. She woke up and had a banana, so she could take aspirins for the headache she was having. She had a quick shower, packed her hair into a messy bun, put on some concealer so she didn't look dead, put on some lip gloss and wore a black t-shirt with black jeans and black trainers. She left the house and took the train to Fred's house, she was sad all the way. As soon as she got to Fred's house, she put on her best smile and tried to seem cheerful. She rang the doorbell and Mara answered then said "oh hey Daya, surprise seeing you here. I want to say you look good, but I really don't like saying false things". "I came to see Fred and it is nice to see you. I have missed you" she said with a weak smile, "why? You know he wouldn't give you your job back and I hope you didn't come to beg him to take you back, you know that would fuel his ego and I missed you too." Mara said in confusion. "ha-ha I forgot I haven't been here since we got together. I and Fred are dating, we have been for the past five months. We met again at a filling station and he apologized and we kind of hit it off" she said after laughing. In shock Mara said "you are lying, no freaking way. You hated his guts, how?", "I know you are shocked, I am too, but I kind of love him like a lot. He is way better than he shows" Daya said as she walked in, she could sense Mara watching her probably with her mouth open. Mara was indeed watching her with her mouth and immediately after closing the door, she went to tell the other workers and they were all shocked and had a million questions.
