A Walk In These Bones

Chapter 11

   The wedding march started playing and Steven and I walked down the aisle, well I wheeled down the aisle and Sam smiled at me while I sat on the right of the pastor. I couldn't wait to see the look on Sam's face when Kailey walks down the aisle. She came out and Sam's face lit up and he started crying. It was beautiful. Kailey's dress was knee length, and her bouquet was yellow and white. The vows were beautiful and the wedding was the most beautiful thing I've seen in my life. Steven and I drove down to the reception that was just down the street from the church. Kailey's dad introduced them as they walked into the building. I was so tired after the wedding that I didn't want to do much, but just then Steven carried me out of the wheelchair and kept spinning around the room making us both laugh.

  It was the best night I've ever had. It made me feel like I could do it again every day. When Kailey was dancing with Sam for their first dance Steven started talking to me about the wedding and to imagine us in their place. I dreamt it and it was beautiful. We went home after Sam and Kailey drove to the airport to catch their plane to Paris for their Honeymoon. I slept for an hour when we got home because it was only 1:30 pm when we got home. I watched a movie with Steven when I woke up. We watched the new hobbit movie, and I loved it. I couldn't sleep that night because of a pain in my lungs. I scheduled an appointment with Dr. Martinez, and she told me that it was nothing. But I told her it was still there. She finally took an X-ray and a tumor showed up. Now technically I'm just like Augustus Waters from TFIOS.

  My life is really going. Soon I shall be with my Father in heaven. I'm going to miss everyone, but I was going to stick around for a longer time, and hang around my friends. I'm honestly scared, but I know I have nothing to be afraid of. It was Sunday and Steven and I went to church like we did every week, and I went up to the pastor and told him to pray for me because of my cancer. He held me in his arms and started crying. We both quietly prayed. Everyone was looking at us and crying. I don't know why, but it kind of felt good for everyone to have sympathy for me. Steven came to get me because the lesson was over. He saw that my face was red, and asked what was wrong. I told him it was nothing, and that I was okay. I went to visit my dad and my sister. There was really nothing to talk about, but when it came to inner it was like a non-stop river of talking. I was telling him how much I loved Steven, and how he is so sweet, but he was also concerned with when I would tell him the truth. I was torturing myself with not telling him, but it was my disease and my decision on when I was going to tell him. I started getting fed up with people telling me what to do, so I just decided to tell him when it was the right time, and right place.
