A Cancer Story

Chapter 11

Once your popcorn is popped you head down to the basement or movie room and turn on the tv trying to find some good movie to watch.  Your phone suddenly buzzes distracting you from the tv.  It’s Logan

“hey, where’ve you been the past couple days?.. You’ve gone quiet again.. have you gotten sick again? or is life busy? I don’t mind.. just.. I miss you..

You: “hey! no sorry I’m fine, I just felt like I was overusing my phone the past week so I took a break.. I’m not ignoring you..”

Him: “oh okay.. it’s fine.. want to hang out?”

You set your phone down and twiddled you thumbs frantically thinking of an excuse.. he couldn’t see you like this.. without hair!!

“mooooommm!” You screamed as you ran up the stairs.  After giving your mom a near heart attack, you explained the situation and said you needed a wig.  After frantically digging through the house you and your mom were unable to come up with one.  So you just texted him back saying you couldn’t tonight but you could talk on the phone.  You and him spent the rest of the evening and the late hours of the night talking and laughing until your sides ached.  You didn’t want the conversation to end but by 2am you had to end it because you were exhausted and you had an appointment tomorrow.  After the phone call you lied there for a bit thinking until you fell asleep
