Chapter Ten
"Robbie, Robbie what's going on?" I tried to make him face me but he refused. I knew something was wrong and I didn't like it.
"Come on Robbie, you can tell us anything, you know that." I nodded in agreement with Ray. I placed my hand on Robbie's shoulder and could feel him shaking. Finally he broke down and confessed everything.
"Things aren't going to just blow over, Lily. Something's wrong with Kim." Robbie's voice started to break and I knew something serious was happening with Kim.
"What's wrong Robbie? Please tell me?" Robbie's face suddenly jerked to face me and I saw the tears running down his face.
"She's sick! Really sick. She's got...cancer of the blood." The blood drained out of my face and my eyes bulged. My head was spinning. I had never liked Kim but even I felt horrible for her. She meant the world to Robbie and now he might lose her.
"So she broke up with you because of that?" I looked at him and saw him nod. "Robbie, she may not want to around but you still have to be with her. Even if it's just as a friend. She really needs someone to be with her. I should know. When my mom was sick she didn't want anyone with her but we always stayed by her side. Right until the day she...well, you know the ending of this sad story." I felt tears come to my eyes. I hadn't talked about my mother is years. The last person I had talked to her about was...Travis.
"You're right. I'm gonna go see her tomorrow. I can't stand not being with her, and you're right, she really needs people with her right now. Um, if you guys don't mind I'm gonna head home. See ya." Robbie stood up and brushed his pants off. Then he left with a wave. Ray left soon after. Apparently he had to call Audrey, so Travis and I were alone once again.
"Where were we?" I let out a giggle but it was soon muffled as my lips met Travis's. Things are going great for me. I really hope this lasts.
