‼️ON PAUSE‼️ 'Cause The Hardest Part Of This Is Leaving You

*Hunter's POV*
I sat on my bed and stared at my celling. Tick, tick, tick, tick. The clock on the wall was ticking louder and louder. I picked up my phone. I dialed a number.
"Mrs. Way? Hi, it's me Hunter. I was wondering if I could come over and see Bandit?"
The line was silent. I don't understand why.
"Yeah.. Sure Hunter." She said, hesintintly.
"Thank you so much."
I hung up. I jumped off my bed and slipped out of my basketball shorts. I looked around my room.
"Where the hell are my jeans at?"
I walked out of my bedroom.
"Mom! Where are my jeans?!"
Mom walked up the stairs.
"Hunter Ricardo Gray! Put some pants on!" She yelled at me. I looked down. I was just in my boxers, it's no big deal.
My mom handed me a pair of skinny jeans.
"You're the best. By the way, can I go over to Bandit's today?"
"Sure thing, no problem." She said.
I walked back into my room and slid into my jeans. I out on my converse and ran out the door. I haven't seen her in forever. I really miss her. She only lives a couple of blocks away from me so it's not that far. I ran out the front door.
"Bye mom!" I shouted.
When I got to her house I ran across the yard. I knocked on the door.
"Hunter, it's so good to see you. Come in." Mr. Way greeted me at the door. I walked in. Their house always smelled nice. Mrs. Way was sitting on the couch.
"Hunter, why don't you come sit by me." She patted the spot by her. I walked over and sat down.
"Hunter, we have something very serious to tell you." She frowned when she spoke.
"It's about Bandit."
"She's not sick again, is she?..."
"In a way." Mr. Way said. He sat on the other side of me.
"She has cancer, Hunter."
My eyes grew wide and my jaw dropped a little.
"She.. Has.."
"We know, it's shocking. But she'll be okay."
"Can I go see her?..." I asked slowly.
"She's upstairs." They said, looking down.
I stood up and walked to the stairs. I walked up to her bedroom door. I knock lightly.
"Daddy?.." I heard her say.
I peaked my head through the door and smiled.
"Hunter!" She said, beaming with happiness. She hopped out of bed and hugged me.
I hugged her back, tightly. I held her face in my hands.
"I missed you so much." I kissed her on the forehead.
"I missed you too, Hunter, a lot."
"I want to spend the entire day with you. I'm not going home." I smiled.
She frowned. "What's wrong?"
"Why would you want to spend the day with a sick person like me?"
I was shocked. I hugged her tighter. "Why would you think that?"
"Because I have a disease. And no one wants that."
"I do." I said, smiling at her, holding her close.
"What?" She looked up at me.
"I want it. I'd take it from you if I could."
She smiled at me. "I just love you so damn much."
She walked over to her bed and sat down.
"I was painting my nails before you got here."
"What color?"
"Blue. I love blue. I also love pink and red and black and white."
I chuckled. "Of course you do." I sat down in front of her. She twisted the cap of the bottle and opened it. She put the brush on her nail. I took my phone out of my pocket and opened up the music.
"What song do you want to listen too?" I asked.
"Hmm... Nothing really. I like it being quiet."
"Thats okay." I put my phone down. I looked at her and smiled.
"You're so perfect Bandit."
She looked up at me. "No Im not. I'm not perfect."
"Yes you are, your perfect to me."
She out her head down. "No, that 'god' up there is perfect. He never got cancer, did he?"
"Well no, but he still loved all the people that did have cancer."
"Once you get cancer, you can never be normal again. Every one knows that."
