I came in very quietly, not knowing if my boyfriend Pete was awake yet.
I creeped into the house like a robber and listened for Petes footsteps upstairs.
"Hailey, what the hell are you doing? Sneaking...in?" Pete asked from behind me.
I jumped about five or six feet in the air with a scream.
"Whoa!" Pete cried, laughing.
"You scared me!" I cried.
"I'm sorry, babe. Why are you acting so weird?" He asked.
"No reason. I thought you might be asleep." I said.
"It's 4:30 in the afternoon." Pete pointed out.
"It's you."
He smiled a little. "I will have you know I'm not Patrick. I get up at a reasonable time of day." He said.
"Two o clock is not reasonable." I said.
"Staying up till two o clock in the morning isn't either, but I'm not creeping around the house." He said.
"I do not stay up till two." I said.
"You're right. It's more like six or seven am." He said.
I rolled my eyes. "Although I must say, you've been sleeping a lot lately since you got sick. You feeling any better?" He asked.
My amusement died. "I'm fine." I said, fear creeping back up my spine.
"What did the doctor say?" Pete asked.
I had busied myself with looking through the cabinets, and then decided randomly to clean them.
"Hailey, what did the doctor say?" Pete asked again.
I still didn't answer, unable to tell him.
"Is the answer in my cupboard?" He asked.
I said nothing. "What are you doing, babe?" He asked.
"Cleaning the cabinets." I said, but my voice sounded choked.
"Are you crying?" He asked.
I sniffled.
"Baby! Come here. Right now." He said.
He picked me up and carried me to the living room, sitting on the couch and holding me in his lap.
"What happened? Talk to me." He said.
"I...im sick." I said.
Pete looked confused a moment, but waited. When I didn't say anything, he pressed.
"With?" He asked.
I finally broke down.
"I have cancer." I sobbed.
Pete looked utterly shocked a moment, and then disbelief colored his expression.
"Are they sure?" He asked.
"I have a tumor. They said we have to try chemo. If that doesn't work they said that we can do surgery." I said.
"How bad is it?" He asked.
"It's about the size of a fucking potato." I sobbed.
Pete held me close. "Hailey, everything is gonna be okay. I won't let anything bad happen to you. Okay? I love you and we are going to get through this together." He said.
"Okay." I said.
He held me and rocked me in his arms until I calmed down, and then he pulled back.
"Will you lose your hair?" He asked.
I nodded. "It won't be blue anymore." He said. "But that's okay. Now I can see those pretty blue eyes even better. And then, when it grows back, I'll see your natural color."
"I suppose." I said.
"What is your natural color, anyway?" He asked.
I grinned. "It's a surprise." I said.
He laughed and kissed me. "I love you so much."
If that's not fluffy idk what is. Hope you liked it!
Love you all!
