"I had fun tonight" Cash Says as we walk to my room. "Yeah, me too" i say. "So.. whatever happened with that waitress?" He asks. "Doesn't matter" I smile. I open my door and turn to him before walking in. I smile at the ground shyly. It's almost like I forgot how perfect he is. He pulls me closer by my waist and kisses me. I rest my head on his chest and hug him tight.
"I'll see you at school tomorrow" I smile. "Yeah" he says and walks away. I finish my homework before going to bed. My phone buzzes on the table.
"Hope, we have some bad news..." I read the text, it's from my aunt. "Your grandmother is in the hospital, she's not doing well" she texts again. This can't be true, it's not real. My grandmother has always been the one to look out for me. "What's wrong??? What happened to her?!" I ask.
There's no answer for a few minutes. I lean against the walls and slide down it. I cry into my knees until I hear my phone buzz again and I crawl over to it quickly. " she's sick... we don't think shell last long" she says. I have to go. I have to go back to Canada to visit her.
What about school. What about cash?! You can't just leave! You have more important things. My subconscious can be a real bitch sometimes. She's my grandmother, of course I'm just going to leave to see her again. Don't you remember all the times she was there for us when mom wasn't? So.. a lot?
I call the school and say that I'll be gone for a little bit. I look at all the flights heading to Canada and book the cheapest one, I don't have a job yet so I'm kind of on a balance. "Cash, I'm leaving in the morning, I don't know ile long I'll be gone" I text him. "Why? What's wrong?" He asks. I start to cry again. "I'm coming over" he says before I answer.
"What's wrong?" Cash asks the second he walks through the door. "M..my grandmother is.. she's not doing well" I say through un the tears. He hugs me and doesn't say another word. How did I get so lucky with him? And why did my mom have to judge him so quickly.
We sit there for a few minutes before cash lets go. He kneels down so our eyes are at the same level. "I'm sorry" he says. "Can you stay tonight?" I ask. I don't really want to be left alone right now. He smiles a little bit. "Yeah" he says. He heads towards the couch.
I walk over and grab his hand and pull him to the bedroom. (That sounds so wrong but I stg I don't mean it that way😂) wow, way to just break the mood Sydney. Shut up 😂.
We hop into bed and he wraps his arms around me, holding me tight. I could really get used to this. It feels good to have someone who cares about you here.
I wake up, hoping cash is actually here and that I didn't just pass out from crying so much. I look at the clock. 7:00. "Shit!" I yell. "What's wrong?" Cash says in a panicked, tired voice. "I need to hurry, the airport is 30 minutes away and I need to catch my flight at 8:30" I say. "And who knows how long it will take to get through security!" I say. Cash packs my clothes for me while I have a shower.
"Thank you so much" I say, when I get out. "You're welcome, do you need a ride?" He asks. "Shit, yeah I do" I say. He chuckles. "I can take you. I sigh and smile at him. "Thank you" I say.
