Unexpected Chapter 21

 Someone knocked on the bedroom door. I didn't want to respond, I didn't want to talk. I didn't want to be here. Not with Carson and Xavier and especially not with Jasmine.

"Maddy, can I please come in?" Carson's voice was muffled by the door standing between us. He waited a few seconds and when I didn't answer, he came in. Carson walked over and sat next to me on his bed.

"Why won't you talk to me?" Carson asked as a tear rolled down my face. Carson took his hand and gently wiped the tear off my cheek.

"Why don't you go talk to your new best friend or girlfriend, or whoever the hell she is?" I shot back at him.  Carson sighed and lay down on the bed. He looked funny, because his head was hanging off the side of the bed.

"She's not my girlfriend or my best friend. She can't be my girlfriend or my best friend." Carson replied as he looked up at the ceiling.

"Why can't she?" I lay down next to Carson. The empty space between us was small. I just wanted to curl up in a ball and cry on his shoulder. I miss him so much.

"I already have a girlfriend who's my best friend. We just hit a bump in the long road and had to pull over till we could fix the problem." Carson said softly. I turned my head and looked at him; his brown eyes were staring back at me.

"There are so many girls out there that would love to be your girlfriend. Girls that would be a much better girlfriend than I was." Why can't I just be one of those pushy girls that make a move, or better yet, why can't he read my mind? It would be so much easier.

"That's not true, have you seen the looks I get from other girls in the hallway?" Carson retorted

"That's because you picked me when you could have had one of them. I hear everything they talk about Carson, trust me." It was true; most of the girls in our school have a crush on Carson. When word got out that I was pregnant, they thought that Carson was up for grabs, it was hell. Of course Carson is down playing it big time.

"You're the only girl I want trust me." Before I could tell Carson to once again stop with the mixed signals, he turned over on his side and kissed me. For a second I didn't kiss back, but I couldn't help it. All I wanted was to get back together with him. So I did what I knew how to do best, I kissed him back.

"Carson, don't play with my head." I breathed as my head was spinning. "If you don't want to get back together, then don't kiss me I won't be able to handle that."

"I'm not playing with your head Maddy, I need you. I can't live without you." Once the words came out of his mouth, I knew they were true. I didn't know what to say, so I just leaned in and kissed him again.

 

 

"It's called Ewing sarcoma. It's a type of bone cancer."  I told Carson. It was later on that night around 10 o’clock, and we were getting ready for bed, or at least I was. Carson just stripes into his boxers and jumps in bed. I take a bit more time than him.

"Is it bad?" Carson sounded worried. I wish I was five years old again when the worst thing was getting a scrape on your knee. I hated talking about it. I sighed and replied,

"It's stage two. It will be over soon...very soon." I was focusing on trying to get all of the snarls out of my hair. I was turned away from him so he wouldn't see the tears filling in my eyes.

"When you say, it will be over very soon, do you mean..." Carson trailed off. I let out a shaky breath and nodded my head. Carson’s hand took the hair brush out of my hand, and put it on the burrow, and then he wrapped his other hand around my stomach and gently pulled me down.

"I know you don't want to hear this, but it's the truth. No one gets to live forever, especially the good ones." Carson soothed as he ran his hand through my hair.

"But why does he have to suffer?" I sobbed. "He always thought of others before him and is a great person and he still has to die in a painful way."

"I know Maddy it sucks, I know." I put my head on Carson shoulder and cried as he told me everything was going to be alright. Carson right, no one lives forever, but no matter how many times anyone tells me this, I won’t accept it.

I feel bad for her grandfather having cancer. My uncle had a rare cancer. He died almost three years ago from it... cancer is a hard, painful, terrible way to die. No one wants their loved ones to suffer. Can't wait to read on. Thanks for sharing.

grammatically unsound but a good proof read will mend that for you, the story seems to be closing for me
