Punching Bag (Bullied by o2l fanfic)

Young and Beautiful

Max's POV
Yes! The day is finally here! Today is the day where Ricky is taking me out for a day of fun. We never really talked that much so we thought it would be nice. The doctors are also allowing me to wear real clothes today, on one condition. I have to wear a breathing tube around and in my nose and I have to carry the oxygen tank around in a roller backpack (think Hazel Grace TFIOS). Ricky will be here in about a half an hour and the nurses are putting on my breathing tube. We had an entire schedule planned out for today and I love every part of it. First we're going to the park next to the hospital, my room specifically. Next we're going out to eat when we get hungry. We haven't decided where but that's for our stomachs to figure out. Then we'll go back to the park and after that... well we'll figure that out later.

While I wait for Ricky I look into the little mirror on the door. As I did I thought about the other kids with cancer or leukemia. Most of them had lost their hair due to chemo. Then it hit me. Should I shave my head? Once in a while someone would comment on my hair and I would simply reply with "thank you", now I realized they wanted my hair. I ran a hand through the brown mop I call hair. I brush it real quick when there's a buzz. The door opens to reveal Ricky. "Hey!" I squeal, hugging him. "Hey!" He squeals back. "You're wearing real clothes!" He says quite loudly. I shush him and whisper, "yeah but they're forcing me to wear a breathing tube." We both scoff and roll our eyes. "Shall we go?" I ask hold out my arm. "We shall." he answers, looping his arm with mine. We merrily skip out of my room to the park like The Wizard of Oz. We walk around for a while until I scream and run to the park. "Wait up!" Ricky yells, chasing after me. I instantly go on the jungle gym and slide down the swirly slide. By the time I reach the end my hair is sticking up in every place imaginable. We laugh as I flatten it out. We go on the swings and push each other for about a half an hour. Decision time, stomach! Our stomachs growl really loudly, Ricky's mostly, so we decide to go get pizza. When we get to the counter my self-consciousness starts to kick in. I can never order for myself, (and this is true) but I can get myself to say "I'll have the same thing." So that's exactly what I do, even though what Ricky got was disgusting. I ate it anyway cause I was starving. Hey, a girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do. We then went back to the park. We walked and talked for a while when I thought about shaving my head again.

"Hey, Ricky?" I say.

"Yeah?" He responds, yawning.

"So I was thinking..." I start yawning as well. "What were you thinking, Max?" He said, mocking me playfully. I smile and continue. "I was debating on whether or not I should shave my head." I blurt out, biting my lip out of instinct. "Ohh..." I can tell he has no clue what to say. I look at him waiting for an answer. "Well... what do you think?" he finally answers.

"I think..."

I got nothing to say except for CLIFFHANGER!!!🎉🎊🎈Idek anymore.
