June 12th,
Why did I just do that!? It wasn't bad enough that I just thought Tom was cute, noooooooo. I had to kiss him. Practically sealing the deal, both informing myself and Tom that I was... In lo-- love with him. Wow Scarlett, way to go. "You're dying, have you suddenly forgotten you fool!" Although I am furious with myself, I have to admit, our kiss was amazing. His perfectly moist lips gently pressing on mine. Oh, those soft lips like big fluffy pillows, supporting my dehydrated, pale lips. "Okay Scarlett, snap out of it!" "This is not some movie where I will suddenly be cured and me and Tom can run off together and live happily ever after, no. This is reality and reality tells me my time is short.
I hear a knock at my door. I turn my head left, staring at the wooden door, sadly remembering that after that romantic kiss, Tom had practically sprinted out that door, honestly you would swear he was competing in a race. I had wondered what I had done wrong? After all, it was my first kiss so really, I didn't know whether I was doing it right or not.
The door opens gently, my mother strides on into my hospital room, 5 bags in hand, joyful smile swept across her face. I know what she's thinking. She delicately closes the door and turns to me. "So Scarlett, that Tom guy is pretty cute.." "Mom, please don't start." She ignores my attempt to stop her from carrying on. "He seemed to be staring at you, oh Scar, I think he may like you!" "Not you too!" I sigh. "What? Did I say something wrong?" "No mom, I just hate that nickname, Scar, that's what-" I suddenly cut myself off, bursting into tears. My mom abruptly drops her shopping bags and runs to my side, throwing her arms around me. "Scarlett. My sweet, sweet baby girl, what's the matter." "M-m-mom," I stutter through my tears. "I kissed Tom, mom." "I kissed him and it was wonderful." "My mom releases her hold, shocked by the words that just spilled put of my mouth. "Y-you kissed Tom. Oh my." "Mom please, no lecture, I got caught up in the moment and It just felt right, but gosh mom, you don't have to be angry I-." "Oh Scarlett, I'm not angry pumpkin," at this she sweeps my bangs away from my eyes. "I'm just shocked is all, I mean the two of you have only known each other for a few days." "Yes mom, I know." "What I don't understand though," she pauses letting it truly sink in, "is why you are crying if you just kissed Tom." "Because mom.... I- I.. Love him." ~Scarlett ❤️
