[Turning You] On! Chapter 34

I'lI Love You More Than You'll Ever Know - Donnny Hathaway

I lay on the bed in Terry’s arms. We had a few more weeks of school and then we would be graduates and we would be able to leave the town of Lindsey. I was pretty excited and I could not wait to go to Michigan. We would be far away from this judgmental town and it would just be me and him. I mean of course I would miss Jace, Clary and Mr.C, but we would visit them all the time.

Terry ran his fingers through my hair as my head rested on his chest. We were in a comfortable silence and I was just loving being next to him right now. I snuggled closer to him getting as close as possible. In response he tightened his hold on me.

“Hey B?”

“Yea,” I answered closing my eyes and inhaling his scent.

“Will you spend the day with me tomorrow? I have to go somewhere and I just want you to be there.”

“Yea Terry, where do you need to go?”

                                    

“The hospital,” I lifted my head up to look at him.

“For what?” I questioned wondering where this was going.

“To see if I’m a match for my mom.” It was the first time that I had heard Terry actually refer to her as his mom.

“You are going to do the transplant for her.” He nodded.

“Why Terry?”

“You were the one who told me to give her some slack.”

“That was before I knew her true intentions. I don’t care about her right now. I just want you to be safe and not do anything that’s going to hurt you.”

“It’s going to hurt me if I know she’s dead and I could have prevented it.”

“Terry please,”

“I’ll make a true decision when I find out if I’m a match or not.”

“I just don’t want anything bad to happen to you. I love you Terry and I don’t know what I would do if anything bad ever happened to you.”

“I love you too Brielle. Don’t worry, nothing bad is going to happen to me.” I took his answer and agreed to going but I was so worried about this transplant. I just didn’t want him to make the wrong decision and ended up regretting it.

I sat in the hospital next to Terry, my hand was intertwined in his as we waited for the doctor to call him back. He hadn’t said anything since we had gotten here and he was worrying me a lot.
