I Wasn't Thinking: A Chasing Life Fanfic
Plot: Takes place immediately following the last line of Clear Minds, Full Lives, Can't Eat. April and Sara have a fight causing April to be kicked out of the house for the night. Having nowhere else to go, April calls Leo to meet her in the park to talk. They decide to go have fun and end up getting drunk and sleep together. April has no idea if she should tell Dominic or not.
Chapter 1
"I am an adult! And the only way I'm going to get through this is if I have some hope of having a normal life someday."
April couldn't believe she had just blurted that out. It felt good to finally let it out of her system.
"Honey!" Sara exclaimed. "I don't know if you've noticed, but you have a terminal illness! I'm doing what I'm doing because I care!"
"I still need you mother," April replied. "But I don't need you crawling up my back every second! I'm an adult!"
"Well if you're such an adult who can take care of herself," Sara replied, "then why don't you just leave?!"
April couldn't believe what she just heard. "What did you just say?"
"I said leave!" Sara replied angrily. "Leave and don't come back until tomorrow! Don't let the door hit you on your way out!"
"Fine I will!" April yelled angrily.
April marched down the stairs and stomped towards the door. Brenna came out of the kitchen and walked over to her.
"Where are you going?" Brenna asked.
"Mom kicked me out!" April replied angrily. "I'm not allowed in the house until tomorrow."
"But you can't be out all night," Brenna said concerned. "You're sick."
"I'll be fine," April said assuringly. "I'll just stay with Beth."
"Please don't go," Brenna pleaded.
"I'll be back tomorrow," April told her worried sister.
April exited her house onto the streets of Boston. What was she supposed to do? She couldn't believe she just lied to Brenna. She knew Beth wasn't home. She couldn't go to Dominic's apartment because she didn't want to accidentally blurt out that she had Leukemia. There was only one person she could call. April dialed a number on her phone.
"Hello, Leo. It's April. Will you meet me in the park in 10 minutes?"
Chapter 2
April couldn't help but burst into tears when she sat with Leo on the bench and explained the fight.
"I'm so sorry I'm babling," April told Leo after she was done telling him what had happened.
"We just need to have some more fun," Leo replied. "Let's steal another car."
April playfully punched Leo on the arm, "Never again."
Leo began to laugh, "A new bar just opened down the street."
"Okay, let's go," April said.
April and Leo went to the bar and began to have fun. April even rode the mechanical bull. After what seemed like hours, April found herself waking up in a hotel bed.
"What the hell?!" April shouted outloud.
Leo came out from under the covers. "Please don't scream. I have a killer hangover."
"Did we sleep together last night?" April asked.
"Yes," Leo replied. "It was awesome."
"Oh no!" April said freaking out.
April quickly got up with a blanket around her, grabbed her clothes, and went into the bathroom to change.
Chapter 3
April met Beth at their usual table.
"So there is a viral video of you riding a bull last night," Beth told April as she sat down.
"I slept with Leo!" April blurted out.
Beth gasped "Oh no! Does Dominic know?"
"Oh god!" April freaked "Dominic!"
Next part coming soon. Don't know where to go from there.
