I roll my eyes.

-Ruel's POV-

"Here is your icecream!" The worker places them down in front of us.

"It looks gross!" She frowns.

"Just try it!" I reply.

She takes a spoonful and there was no reaction on her face.

"It's surprisingly okay." She mutters.

"Pardon what was that, Say it again louder." I joke her.

"You heard, now shush." She rolls her eyes.

How can one person roll their eyes so much? You'd think something would happen but nope- I mean not that I was complaining. We finish our icecream and of course I paid like I said. We walked back to Haven street.

"See I'm not that bad." I shrug and smile at her.

"Okay it was surprisingly not bad!" She answers.

"Now do I get a goodbye first date kiss?" I tease her.

"No you wish, and it wasn't a date!" She giggles and starts walking the opposite direction to me.

I walk home, a majority of my mind was taken up with Madi Carson. What am I even doing? I have no chance with her and it's not like I'm not getting any better.

I sigh and walk into the kitchen.

"Ruel where have you been?" My mum Kate questions me.

"I went to grab icecream with a friend." I reply.

"Sweetheart just ring me or text me next time, you know I worry." She kisses my cheek.

"I'm not a baby anymore mum but of course sorry next time."I pick up a banana, I peel it and begin to eat it.

"I know. I'm sorry but what if something happens when you're out and no one knows about your can-"

"Mum I rather not be consistently reminded that I'm basically dying." I cross my arms and sit down on the counter.

"Ruel! You aren't dying, you'll fight it- tell me you'll fight it?" She requested, I could tell she was worried for me, I mean it's normal but my mum bring it up constantly.

'Ruel have taken your medication?' 'Ruel everything will be okay' 'Ruel I'm always here to talk too' 'Ruel you'll get through this' it's pressuring, what if I don't? Maybe My body will give up, all the bullshit chemotherapy l'll have to do when I reach stage 2. It's not that I didn't want to live, it's just I rather forget all the Chemo and surgeries if there is a chance they won't change the fact I'll die.

"Of course mum." I smile, I didn't have the courage to tell her the truth, it will only bring bad vibes.

I'm just trying to live each day like it were my last, I haven't experienced much in life, so I was trying to get that all out of the way. Having my first kiss, losing my virginity and finding the love of my life- the last one is about ehh, It can take people years and years to find their soulmate and I'm looking for her in one. I could have had my first kiss or had sex already but I wanted to have all those experiences with one person and that one person I'm looking for might not even exist. I might never meet my soulmate.

"Dinner will be ready at 7, so don't snack on other food." She warns me, I nod and walk upstairs.

I scroll through my Instagram feed, @Madi.Carson I find myself searching up. I click the first option- ah huh bingo. No post! Seriously Madi!
