I woke up a little while later and smiled when I found that I was covered up. I stretched and got up, walking to the living room to see Jay on the phone. I wrapped my arms around him from behind and kissed his temple. "Is that your mom? Tell her I say hi." I said with a smile.
-
"Well, im doing fine. Yes. Mom I promise. Ill call after chemo. Annabelle says hi, okay.. love you too, bye." I said, looking at her. "Its been a while since ive heard her cry like that.." Isaid softly.
-
I hugged him gently. "It'll be okay.. I promise." I whispered. "It'll be treated.. And you'll be okay.."
-
I nodded. "Youre right.." I said, and I kissed her forehead. "Should we start getting ready for your parents house?" I asked.
-
I nodded. "Yeah." I replied. I went and changed into a skirt and blouse and heels. My mom loves when I look nice. I did my makeup light and curled my hair.
-
I put onsone nicer jeans and a navy blue button up shirt. I made sure my hair was decent before walking out to the car with her. "You look amazing." I said softly
-
I smiled. "Thanks babe." I drove to my parent's house and rang the doorbell. Ron the butler answered and bowed,letting us inside. My mom ran up and hugged Jay and I.
-
I hugged her, and smiled when she pulled away. "You look nice , Grace." I said, and I took Annabelles hand.
-
"Why thank you." My mother said. My father came out and kissed my cheek and then shook Jay's hand. "How are you?" He asked him.
-
"Im. . Doing, good. Yes, good." I said, tripping over my words a bit, and I gave her hand a squeeze, letting her know I struggled a bit there.
-
"We went home shopping this morning." I said smoothly, covering for him. My mom clapped her hands. "I'll have to come by soon and see!" Ron came in and bowed. "Dinner is ready."
-
"Yes, we got some cool things for the music room." I said, and when Ron came over I smiled at Annabelle. I couldnt wait to share with the family over dinner. About the engagement of course.
-
I smiled and sat down next to Ron at the table. We had salad as the appetizers, and then we ate lasagna for the entree.
-
The food was amazing, and I wasnt sure when the right time was, to bring up the engagement. I would wait for her mark. There was two people in the room that knew. Hee dad.. and brother. I had called her dad secretly, to get his blessing the other day.. sneaky sneaky..
-
I took a sip of my wine, laughing at my mother's college stories. I glanced at Jay and smiled. It's time. I held his hand underneath the table.
-
I slowly stood, and had Anna stand with me. Annabelle and I would like to announce.. that her and I are noe engaged." Isaid, waiting for tht to sink in
-
My mom slapped her hands over her mouth, then she began to cry. "Oh my god.. My baby is grown up!" My mom said tearfully. My father and Nova clapped, grinning at me.
-
I chuckled, and I kissed Annabelle sweetly, and I looked aground.. this would be my second family. . I was very excited. Now the cancer thing, would be another time, mayben
-
I kissed him back and then sat down. My mother was talking excitedly about wedding stuff already. And I let her, cuz I didn't want to burst her happy bubble.
-
"We aren't sure exactly when it will be." I said, about the wedding. It would be after treatment, but thsu dont know that it would have to wait at least 6 months ,maybe more
-
We finished the meal, and we had a pudding for dessert. It was very delicious.
-
The rest of the evening was nice, relaxing. Us as a family just talking, laughing.. soon, her and I were back home, and I full on crashed in the bed.. both from the wine, stress, and just pure tiredness..
-
I changed into my pajamas and climbed into bed with the already sleeping Jay. I kissed his forehead and quickly fell asleep as well.
-
I was up at 6, chemo was at 7.. I sat up, and I gently woke up Annabelle. I quickly got ready, and we were both on our way..
-
When we got there, I got to stay with him for the blood tests and such, but not for chemo. I waited in the waiting room for him to finish.
-
It was hell. I hated it.. when I was done, I felt like shit. It was painful.. we had to do this every week. This was the very aggressive treatment.. I walked back into the waiting room, I felt sick, not so good.. "let's.. go home."
-
I got up quickly and gave him a bucket, in case he threw up. "Are you hungry?" I asked, once we got in the car.
-
I just concentrated on not puking.. "No.." I said softly. I didntwant to puke in the car.
-
"Okay." I drove us to our house and I helped him inside. I fixed him a glass of water and handed it to him.
-
I sat down. And took the bucket, and puked my guts out. It was very painfull to do so, then I took the glass of water, drinking it."Thanks .."
-
"No problem.." I whispered, rubbing his back. I kissed his cheek and then got up and went to the kitchen, getting a banana.
-
I got up, and rinsed the bucket out in the bathroom, and I took it to the bedroom, and I got a mint to suck on forthe bad taste in my mouth.
-
I finished my banana and then I called the other band members and told them today wasnt a good to meet up.
-
I remembered that I still needed a new phone. I sighed, and stood and headed back down, hearing her on the phone. "Tell them that tomorrow would be best." I said.
-
I nodded at him. "How about tomorrow? 8? Okay cool. Bye." I hung up and looked up at Jay. "What's up?" I asked.
-
I shrugged. "Nothing." I said, I pulled her into a hug, and kissed her forhead. It was only a matter of time before I lost weight, muscle.. my hair.. and probably looked like that guyfrom lord of the rings..
-
I smiled and hugged him back gently. "Babe, you have to eat something... At least some yogurt or something.."
-
I sighed, and nodded. I was not hungry at all, but I would do it for her. I took a yogurt from the fridge and grabbed a spoon. "Okay." I said.
-
"Good." I said, kissing his cheek. I sat with him on the couch. "So..."
-
"So, the band name." I said. "We should come up with more ideas." I saidn
