Part 4: I sat alone in my living room in the same position I was in at the hospital, wearing sweatpants and a sweatshirt with my flip flops thrown on the floor at the foot of the burgundy couch. There was a knock at my door, and I glanced at my phone. It was 8:00 already! Jordan! I wiped some of my tears away and greeted him at the door with a weary smile. He sensed something was wrong and pulled me into a hug. "What's wrong?" he whispered soothingly into my ear as he stroked my hair. It took me a few minutes to muster up words. "My dad..." I choked out. Jordan led me to the couch and sat both of us down, putting his arm around me and pulling me close. We sat like that for at least an hour...and I liked it. As I finally ran out of tears to shed, I explained to Jordan what had happened. About my dad's cancer, how he had been fighting it for so long, but had lost the battle in the end. At the end of my story, he had tears in his eyes. He cared so much about me, yet we'd only been hanging out for an hour. He was sweet...and sensitive. I looked at my phone and realized it was 9:30 pm. School, I moaned in my head. How could I go back to school tomorrow? We just talked for the next hour, laughing and crying, just having a good time. "Thank you for this," I smiled at him. "It's really helping me...you're a great guy." "Hey," he said, leaning in close to me. "Anything for you." He leaned in closer, pushing a strand of hair out of my face. I smiled lightly as he was just about to press his lips against mine... RING! RING! His phone started ringing from his pocket and he took it out and answered it. Most likely his mom. "I have to go. Mom's calling," he said, stuffing his black iPhone back into his shorts. He paused a moment. "Will you be okay?" I nodded and hugged him tightly, never wanting to let him go, but he got up and walked out the door. I laid down on the couch and turned the TV on, trying to get my mind off of everything. But what I saw made my whole life a lot more complicated.
Lol. I love the part (it wasn't an update so go figure) When you said If only I named her Rose.... Titanic
