Cheater winced and nodded quickly. "Okay okay okay Fancy, I won't tell Red..." she whispered, not knowing whether she should go back on what she had just said, or whether she shouldn't.
"But what can I do to help?"

Fancy shook her head "Not much im afraid!" she bent over to kill the pain once again "It'll be fine!" she squeezed her eyes closed and put her head on her knees. "Cheater... what was it like?"

"What was what like?" She questioned, wondering why in the world Fancy was suffering in a church, of all places. She had always associated churches with healing... well forget that. She thought bitterly.

"The appendix thing..." she wanted to know so that when her time came she would know what to expect. Fancy caught the worried expression on Cheaters face and sighed "Cheater... i know this is hard for you, but you need to stop worrying... For me? Please?" she hated that her friend was stressed because of her, a new pain washed over her, but it wasn't a pain in her stomach it was emotional pain....

She nodded, masking all signs of worry. "Okay, so I was about eleven and I started getting really sick, but I wouldn't tell anyone. So Diamond thought I had been... out... at one point with a guy, so she took me to the docter to see what was wrong. Turns out, according to him, anyway, my appendix was causing all of it, and if it exploded, I'd die. He also told us the cost, and we couldn't afford it.
So after a while, it was getting bad, an' we had been working really hard, because I had dropped out of school sometime in the beginning of the year anyway, so finally we got enough money, and off I went to the docters. Diamond must've given me something really strong, because I don't remember much except a really bad headache the next morning and a scar, and after that, I was all right. True, now I'm terrified of needles, but that's not really anything big.
You've got nothin' to worry about Fancy."

"Well you're gonna be fine, and when this is over, you'll feel fine, and, best of all, you get to eat ice cream... no wait, that's tonsles... but you can still have ice cream." She added as an afterthought.

"It's easy to imagine you being releived, you're too young to... have kids... anyways... if that's what you're talking about." She said, looking up at the ceiling again and the various carvings.

Cheater looked at Fancy and put an arm around her. "Fancy, don't cry... please... what's wrong?" She said, hating to see most people cry... unless they deserved it.

Fancy turned to her friend and looked her straight in the eyes "What if he doesn't make it Cheater? What if something goes terribly wrong and he..." she broke off, breaking down into a fit of sobs "We'll never get married, or have kids, or have a-a- a life!" she cried into her friends shoulder "part of me wishes i were pregnant and the other part just wants to spend every waking moment with him....." she cried and cried until it seemed there were no more tears left to cry "Oh Cheater!" she gasped, wipping the tears away from her cheaks....

Cheater nodded sympathetically, rubbing Fancy's back. "Nothing'll go wrong Fancy, you'll have a great life with Red and it'll be just like a fairy tale, you'll live happily ever after in a big castle somewhere, with a moat and lots of other great stuff."

Fancy laughed through her tears "Cheater... It's not gunna be that way!" she sighed and laughed the best she could "It's gunna be the complete opposite actually...... We're gunna live in his apartment, which is better than the lodging house, He's always gunna be sick, theres no getting around that... I'm always gunna be the way i am.. stubborn and foolish, some days were gunna starve and others were gunna just get by..." she sighed, the harsh realitly setting in "Thats the way its gunna be hon!" looking at her friend with sad eyes she added "Red and eventually the kids are gunna be the only things tha make me not hate the way we live...."

((Aw, you're making me cry.  )) Cheater looked down at her shoes. "I was only trying to make you feel better... an' I'm sorry if I offended you or something. If it makes you feel any better, you're gonna be better off than a lot of other people. 'Cause there're people that won't even get that far, and I mean, some don't even got anyone like Red. You're lucky to have him Fance, and you're lucky you're getting married." |
