Chapter 2: An almost confession
"Cece?" Her voice sounded dry and rusty. Cece sighed in relief and lightly touched Rocky's hand being careful not to hurt her. "Rocky why?" Cece whispered choking back the tears that threatened to spill from her her eyes. "I'm so sorry." Rocky coughed. Cece was crying now, the tears staining the bleached white sheets as someone wrapped their arms around her body holding her protectively.
Rocky's POV
I hated seeing Cece cry like that, I just wanted to hold her tight and not let go. So despite the pain that pulsed through the wound on my chest I sat myself up and pulled Cece into me. "Cece, I need to tell you something" Cece stopped crying and looked up at me, I took a breath and continued," Cecelia Jones, I lo-" I was cut off by the sound of the door opening, it was my family. My mom and brother were ecstatic to see me awake but Dad had a sad look on his face like he had to give bad news. Please don't tell me I'm right... I was. He began to speak, "Rocky we have to tell you something..." I was getting even more worried by the second and the fact that my father stopped to sigh did not make my anxiety any better. "As soon as you are fit enough to be transported we will be moving." That's when my heart snapped in two, I felt Cece's grip on my hospital gown tighten in shock as he left the room with mom.
Cece's POV
I was on the verge of crying again when Ty finally left Rocky's room. I leant my head into Rocky's neck, nuzzling it lightly,"So what were you going to say?" Rocky winced as she sighed before replying," Don't worry, it doesn't matter." Now don't get me wrong, I really wanted to push her into telling me but I didn't want to stress her out, I mean come on she been through enough. "Ok, man I'm gonna miss you." She held me tighter as we laid on the bed but the weeks were going by too fast and soon that dreaded day came. My best friend was gone. As I watched the car grow smaller in the distance, I thought back to when we were in hospital, was she going to say what I think she was? Did she love me? That's when I started to feel something for her, oh my god, I love Rocky! I'm in love with my bff but I'll never get to tell her
