Benny Rodriguez Imagines/REQUESTS

Imagine#23

I have cancer. Yes, I know sad there was nothing that I could do now. All that was left was for me to die. But I'm gonna go out with a bang.

I was walking home when I saw a cute guy across the street. I decide to go up to him. I ran across the street and walked right up to him. "Hey." I said. He looked at me a little confused on how I just got there plus he has never met me before. I don't blame him, I mean my hair was black at the roots and red more towards the bottom but I put it in a ponytail. "Hey." He said, he continued walking and turned his head while looking straight forward. He started walking faster. "Whatcha doin?" He seemed annoyed by me. "Walking." He didn't look in my direction. "Why so glum?" I asked, I could see he was upset about something. He stopped walking. "Who are you anyway!" He looked pissed. "I'm Taylor. But my friends call my Tay or T." I smiled. I stuck my hand out for him to shake. He looked at it skeptically but shook it. "I'm Benny." He started walking again, I skipped up to him. "So? Why are you so glum?" I asked again. "Well, my girlfriend just broke up with me." He looked to the ground. I laughed a little at how stupid that sounded, compared to me dying that was nothing. "So that means you're single?" He looked at me and laughed. "Yeah, I guess it does." "Do you want to come do something with me?" "Uh, sure." He looked skeptical but at this point I don't really think he cared. We got to Target. "What are we doing here?" He asked. "Well," I looked at him with a smirk on my face. "we are going to live." I walked in and right over to the furniture section. I found the beanbags and lined about five of them up in a line. "What are you doing?" Benny asked me. "Just watch and learn." I ran ahead and went diving into the beanbags I rolled over top of all five of them then I fell off of the last one onto the hard cold floor. I began laughing so hard I almost peed my pants. Benny was laughing too. "Your turn." I looked at him. I got up and moved out of the way. "We are going to get kicked out of the store." He said. "No we won't." I knew we were going to and that was my plan I always wanted to get kicked out of a store before. Benny just shrugged and started running. He slid on the five bean bags and fell off of the end. We were laughing so hard, we didn't realize that a guy had come up to us. "I'm going to have to ask you kids to leave." I held in my laugh. The man escorted us out of the store. "Stay out!" He yelled and turned back into the store. As soon as he was gone I started laughing. I laughed so hard that I fell to the ground. But Benny wasn't laughing. "Taylor! I told you we were going to get kicked out!" He was furious with me. I finally calmed down. "Oh don't get your boxers in a twist." I pulled out a pen and paper and crossed something off. "What's that?" He asked. "It's just a bucket list." I said. "Can I see?" "Sure." I folded over the top so that he didn't see the part where it said "Things to do before I die" So he wouldn't figure it out.

Things to do before I die

*Get kicked out of a store

*Have my first kiss

*Get a boyfriend

*Have someone love me

"This is a very interesting list." "Yeah, well you have no room to judge." I commented I folded my paper and stuffed it back into my pocket. "Hey, do you want to hangout at my house?" I asked. "I don't know my parents are probably worried about me or something." "Please." I pleaded, I gave him my puppy eyes." "Fine." "Yay." I gave him a hug. I felt a little something in my chest flutter when I did. It was weird and it tickled a little but I liked it.

We both sat on my bed. I pulled up Netflix. "What should we watch?
I asked. "Uh how about Ghost Whisperer." "Omg I love that show." I clicked on it and it started playing. After a couple episodes I got kind of sad. "What's wrong Tay?" Benny asked. "Jim just cares for Melinda so much it makes me so sad." "Why does that make you sad?" "Because no one cares for me like that." I buried my head in my arms. "That's not true." Benny said. "What are you going to say my parents because that's what everybody says and it's not true." "No, that's not what I was going to say I meant me." "What?" I slowly lifted my head up. Benny took my chin and brought me closer to him. "I care about you Taylor." I suddenly got the urge to lean in. I leaned in and so did Benny. And just like that I had my first kiss. Benny's lips were so soft and sweet I just wanted to kiss them for forever. Benny leaned me back onto my bed and kept kissing me. He pinned my arms down and went down to my neck. It felt so good, I moaned. "Oh, Benny." I knew Benny was going to leave a hickey so I was going to give one back in return. This time I pushed Benny down and started sucking on his neck. I stopped and gave him one more peck on the lips. "Guess I can cross that off my list." I giggled, and I don't usually giggle. "Yup. Well I better go but I will see you tomorrow T." He kissed me once more and left. I smiled to myself finally happy.

A couple weeks passed, me and Benny had started dating. He made me so happy. We were at Panera and I got up to use the bathroom. I felt really light headed when I got up. I started to wobble then everything went black.

I woke up in the hospital. My parents and Benny were in the room. My parents had concern scribbled all over their faces and Benny's eyes were red from crying. He came up to me. "Taylor why didn't you tell me?" It looked like he was about to start crying again. "I didn't want you to treat me differently. I didn't want you to think that I was a freak." "I wouldn't have thought that. I wouldn't have cared at all." He started crying again. I could feel my life start to drain. It was painful to stay awake. "You know Benny the first day I met you I knew it was a gamble, whether I'd be alone for the rest of my life or my saving grace would come." "Taylor that day I knew you were special and not in a bad way. I knew you would change my life for the better. And you still have one more thing on your bucket list." He brought out the paper. "What do you mean?" I asked him. He got out a pen he showed me the checklist and checked off the last thing on it. "Have someone love me." "I love you Taylor Ann Wheeler, I loved you the first day I met you." "I love you too Benny Rodriguez." I held his hand and closed my eyes. I let the pain consume me and take over my body. My monitor flatlined and my life was over.

I'm sorry.
