Cancer.

I couldn't go to school today, you're making me too weak.
I honestly don't know what to do with myself, I'm such a freak.

I have nobody to talk to, nobody to comfort me.
Cam went back to college, Grayson's at school, mom's working and dad left me.

A knock at my door made my head snap in its direction, confused to who it could be.
It took me some time to get there, but I opened the door to be met with the only person I wanted to see.

Tear stained cheeks, wet hair and clothes from the rain.
I immediately opened up my arms, and wrapped them around her like a chain.

I leant against a wall as I held her, keeping me up straight.
I didn't know what did this to her, but in my mind I kept thinking, Tate.

I immediately lifted her head, so she could look me in the eyes.
A small scratch above her eyebrow, along with a dark bruise on her neck that she tried to disguise.

"Who did this Hayden?" I asked quietly as she cried.
"Was it your boyfriend?" I asked, to which made her eyes go wide.

"H-How did you know?" She asked quietly.
I just wiped away her tears, as she stopped crying finally.

I led her to my couch, almost falling, but Hayden kept me steady.
I led down and Hayden led in my arms, and looked at me like she was ready.

She leant in and kissed my lips softly, then moved her body and lead on top of me.

She ran her fingers through my hair, and I felt alive.
I love this girl, and here she was, her touch acting as my revive.

That's when my eyes shot open, no Hayden by my side.
Instead there was my mother, looking at me, smiling wide.

It was a dream, It wasn't real.
But It felt so right, what was the deal?

How I wish she could be in my arms, holding me together.
But that's not going to happen, not now, not ever.
