Sick Day
#9 of Short stories
I coughed slightly looking out the dark sky. "Another sick day I wish I wasn't sick." I coughed again grabbing my tea drinking it slowly. It slowly began to rain its simple taps hit my window as people yelling run away quick. I wish I could enjoy the rain I love it so much. I closed my eyes as a loud thump came from my door. "Hey can you let me I don't have an umbrella! Can you help me please!" I stood up walking slowly dragging my blanket along the floor brushing the dust away. I opened the door as a guy from the usually plays in the park stood there. I think his name was Stan his face looked so perfect especially with his wet hair dripping down. "Thanks a lot." He walked passed me. I coughed a bit and walked over to the bathroom grabbing a towel. "Hey do you live here by yourself?" I gave him the towel "Yes, I'm really sick and I might die soon too. I don't want my parents to be sad about it so I am living here alone." I came to peace with my slowly coming death. "Really damn that must suck." I lied down in the bed looking over to him. "Yes it did, but I have accepted it." I looked over to window watching the rain tap away. "So you really like the rain huh?" "Yes, I really love it." I heard the spot where he was sitting creak. I turned around and look at him his hand out. "Take hold." I reached for his hand then stopped. What is he doing? "Wh-what? He grabbed my hand and pulled me up. "Let's go." He turned and grabbed my umbrella I left near by. "Where?" "Everywhere." Why is he doing this for me? How does he know I never left here? He grabbed some of my clothes tossing them to me. "Hurry up and get dressed. Then let us go!"
He smiled at me and brought me close as he opened the door. I locked the door as he opened the umbrella. "Hmmm where should we go first." He looked out as he squeezes my hand. "That's it!" I looked at him and tilted my head. "What is?" "We're going to the fair no one will probably be there because of this rain." He looked at me and smiled laughing a bit. I was so surprised that I lived so close to it and never knew about it. He was right barely anyone was here. He pulled me closer as we walked to the games. He payed the guy and tossed the ball hitting the bottles down in one hit. "Woah!" He handed me the second ball and smiled "Come on you try it." I tossed the ball, but the ball missed hitting the guy by accident. "I'm sorry." He grunted as he gave Stan a big bear. He smiled and gave me the bear "Hold onto it." We went to another game and he didn't get any prizes but it was fun playing with him. He looked at the rides and pulled me in closer as a harsh gust of wind blew us back.
He brought pulled me over to a ride "Let's ride this first." I looked up at it and blushed slightly. The tunnel of love. I looked back and forth "Ok." We sat down as the ride started. He placed the bear in the back so we could get closer. I blushed feeling my heart race. "This is nice huh?" I looked over at him and smiled. I coughed a bit as he brought me close. "Feeling tired?" "Yeah thanks for asking." He looked around and saw the big wheel what was it called again? "Let's go on the Ferris wheel." I nodded my head and coughed again as we got in line waiting for our cart to stop. I placed the bear to the side seeing it was too big to go into the cart.
Once we got to the very top he looked at me seriously. "I have to be honest right now. I really like you, and I thought if I was near your home as much as I could that I would be finally be able to see you." He leaned in and pressed his lips on mine. My heart pounded faster as he pulled away I coughed again unsure what to say. "I didn't know you were so sick maybe we shouldn't have gone out." I looked at him and started crying. "No, I'm so happy to have gone outside for once. I noticed you too playing in the park, but I wasn't sure so I stayed home." I coughed harder. It hurt so much to cough now. He came over and held me close. "Wow, it's a miracle look." I turned my head seeing it. "S-snow..." Once we reached the bottom we walked out holding hands. I touched the snow while it slowly came from the sky. "It's so lovely." I coughed more taking gasping breaths. "Come on lets get you home fast." I nodded my head as I coughed more. No...I looked at my hand blood. I looked at him and tried my best to smile. "Thank you so much for everything. I even got to see snow something that is so rare to happen here." I coughed again using my hands to hide the blood from me. "I'm glad," I held my hand up stopping him "I really wish I knew you sooner. You made me fall in love with you. Me loving a guy. I never knew I was gay." I coughed again, but this time more blood came out some splashed onto the snow. "Hey, wait what's happening?" I smiled at him and coughed more blood feeling light headed. I opened my mouth top taste a drop of snow looking at him with tears rolling down my face. "Good bye Stan..." I feel to the floor coughing more blood gasping for air. It's pointless though this is my end. I knew this was going to happen at one point so why? Why do I wish to live now? I looked to the sky with snow covering my body. I think Stan is doing his best to keep me here. I'm sorry Stan for having you love me. I'm sorry...
