Chapter 3 Cancer Patient

• GREENVILLE HIGH SCHOOL, LOS ANGELES.
• The entire school was booming with gossip, each person had someone whispering in their ears. Darby didn't seem to care much, her head was in the clouds and all she could think about was the best night of her life. The first time she felt cherished by someone. All through the time she was in Leo's arms, he kept talking to her like they were actual lovers. He even went ahead to seek advice about his career, whether to choose basketball or focus on his father's business.
• Darby was too preoccupied with just listening to him that she didn't care to give him any voice of reasoning. She didn't think someone like her would have any advice to offer a person like Leo who has life bowing at his feet. Within the next two hours spent at the party, the both of them had sex two different times. She had to rush out when the time for them to leave was up and Abigail was totally wasted by the time Darby got to her. That night when they got home, all of her parents complaint sounded like music to her ears and she slept like a baby.
• Coming to school for the new week has never felt more exciting, she wished to see Leo so bad, but they don't share the same classes. Darby hoped that he would probably be kind enough to even ask her to go to prom with him. Hopping down the hallway not minding the odd looks she got, Darby made her way to class.
• "See how happy she is." A girl standing by the rows of lockers scoffed as Darby hopped past them.
• Another sneered. "She must think herself special to have been handpicked by Leo."
• "I would feel special if I was in her shoes. I heard he didn't move an inch from the room even after she left and didn't let anyone in." The red hair amongst them did the tsk tsk sound. "She definitely is lucky. Of all the girls Leo has slept with, she is the only one he has approached by himself and spent time with."
• "I am so jealous!" The first girl whined.
• Abigail hollered at the sight of them, baring her full teeth at them. "Hello, girls. Top of the morning to you."
• The red hair tilted her neck. “Did you get jazzed or something? Why do you look so happy?"
• "Why shouldn't I? It's a good day to start afresh." She replied.
• "I don't think she knows." The second girl butt in. "She had passed out when everything happened."
• Abigail stared at them looking confused. "What are you all talking about? What's going on, Samantha?" She turned towards the red haired.
• Samantha sighed heavily. "So, tell me, who is that one guy that you wish to spend time with even if it's just thirty minutes in bed?”
• Abigail shrugged. "Leo of course, everyone knows how crazy I am about him."
• "Well, maybe everyone know you are crazy about but I don't think your sister does."
• "What do you mean?"
• "So at the party when you were dead drunk, Leo was busy screwing your sister’s brain off. And from what I heard they did have a good time and she moans quite well." Samantha added for emphasis.
• Abigail snorted out a laugh. “You girls are hilarious. Why would Leo want anything to do with someone like Darby? She wasn't even well dressed and I sure look more beautiful than she does."
• "Nah, ah. That girl is hella fine than you are. Her daddy must be a hunk." Samantha muttered, causing the others to glare hard at her. "What! I was just saying the truth."
• Clenching her fist in anger, Abigail flared her nose. "Are you saying while I slept, she and Leo had sex? How did that happen?" She asked while trying to act calm.
• The first girl rolled her eyes at Samantha when she attempted to respond again. "Stay out of this!" She warned, turning back to Abigail. "I am guessing you still remember the truth or dare game? Leo was dared to pick anyone to fuck with and without flinching he went straight to your sister. I think they shared some sparks before."
• Staring in disbelief, she stumbled to the back leaning her back against the locker. Abigail had been spending most of her days trying hard to get Leo's attention. To make him notice her, she had to cut corners with his friend knowing he wouldn't care and still go down with her. She had always wanted to be able to boast of sleeping with the most popular kid in the entire school. To think ordinary Darby got such a chance before her, makes her want to commit murder.
• The first bell rang indicating the start of classes and the girls rushed towards their various classes leaving Abigail with her thoughts. All through the day, she couldn't think straight and the one class she shared with Darby, every now and then she kept sending her deadly glares. The moment the class ended she rushed towards her sister.
• "You bitch!" She growled in a low tone.
• Darby raised a brow, holding onto her bag tightly. "I thought you said we shouldn't be in contact in school? What is this all about?"
• "What did you do to my man?"
• "What man?"
• "Leo!"
• A dry chuckle escaped Darby's lips. "Is this some kind of joke? I thought you had different guys you cut corners with every now and then. Why are you laying claim over someone who is owned by practically everyone? I can see you have nothing else to discuss, I need to get some lunch to have my belly filled. Please excuse me." Darby mused walking past her.
• Abigail felt her insides boil angrily, she definitely wouldn't let it slide. Darby has to be taught a lesson to never mess with her. What was it she called her again? Cutting corners with different guys? She just bit more than she can chew obviously. Walking really fast, she made her way towards the cafeteria, looking around her face relaxed when she found the person she was looking for.
• "Come with me, Dillon." She ordered.
• Dillon threw his hands in the air as he chewed on his fries. "You can see that I am trying to have lunch. Don't bother me."
• Leaning towards the table, Abigail gritted. "COME. WITH. ME. NOW!" She insisted.
• Huffing in frustration, he stood up and followed behind her. Out of nowhere she grabbed him by the collar and pulled him into the janitors room. "What exactly is this about now?" Dillon inquired.
• "I need you to do something for me."
• "What is that?" Sighing, Abigail leaned into him and whispered hurriedly into his ear. "Hell no!" Dillon protested. "Why would I want to do that? I don't even know this person."
• "Why won't you? Do you really not want the goodies from me anymore?" Abigail spat in distaste.
• "Even if I decide to, how am I to convince the others to join in?"
• Abigail cursed as she folded her arms against her chest. "How good is my blow job?" She inquired.
• Dillons lips widened with a smirk as his pupils dilated lustfully. "It’s hundred percent. I love every bit of it."
• "I will do a blowjob for you and every other person you get involved and I mean it."
• "Does that mean I can get one right now?" He had a defiant look on his face.
• Abigail kissed her teeth, eyeballing him. "We don't have much time."
• "Then I can't do what you ask me." He made an attempt to move she dragged him back.
• "Can you be reasonable Dillon?"
• "What? If it was that easy you could have handled it yourself. Why involve me then? Do you even know the punishment behind defamation of character?"
• She tried to think fast. Abigail came to terms with the conclusion that only Dillon could help with her plan. Shutting her eyes tightly, she knelt down and unbuckled his belt. "Fine! Just make sure you act real good."
• "Trust me, baby." He grinned.
• Dillion threw his head to the back and moaned in pleasure when her warm mouth wrapped around his erected cock.
• ***************
• Leo had a plastered grin on his face as he made his way to the gym. He didn't think having sex with someone so random will make his heart flutter. Since he spent the night with Darby, he found himself feeling the need to talk to her again. She had left the moment he slept off which prevented him from getting her contact. There is a different aura that she emitted when they were together, and it was starting to feel like he has a known her since forever. He would love to meet with her again and probably get to spend some quality time with her and get to know her. It feels like he already met his future partner. This thought made him break into a loud chortle. Aaron met him halfway.
• "Is everything alright with you, man? What's with the sudden laugh?" His friend asked.
• Leo shook his head as he entered the gym. Everyone appeared busy getting their body in check. He walked towards the locker to change after greeting the guys. Dillon nodded at his friends while they lifted some dumbbells.
• Dillion raised his voice to speak first. “So I heard Darby was able to shag Leo during the party." He cackled looking towards Leo to be sure he heard.
• "That girl is such a slut. I won't be surprised if she ends up sleeping with the entire team at this point." Another added laughing.
• “I remember the day we spent time together, I really enjoyed her coochie. She moans quite well.” Another laughed
• "I didn’t know you have gone down with her. Well that means she has slept with the five of us and other guys in her class. Now that Leo has joined the queue, I guess that makes him number fifteen or twenty on the list." Dillon bellowed. "She did run her charm on him."
• Slamming the locker door shut angrily, Leo dragged his bag and stormed out of the gym. He was confused as to what was going on. Aaron ran after him immediately.
• "Leo! Wait up!" He called out, catching up with him. "What the hell is the matter, man? Why would you concern yourself with dickhead Dillon and his friends? So they have slept with the girl you also slept with…so what? It shouldn’t be a news to you anymore that there are no virgins in this school. Every girl has a thing or two with guys around here."
• Leo heaved clenching his fist. "I just need to get home. Tell coach I will practice tomorrow!" He replied running off.
• Getting into his car, he drove into the road like a maniac. He finds it really annoying that he is angry at the news. None of the girls he has shagged were virgin or decent but he had just thought this one was different. For a moment, he wanted to ignore his playboy instincts and spend some time with her. But just like everyone else, she is nothing but trash.
• His anger knew no bounds and he could almost feel tears sting at his eyes. There is no way he would cry over a random girl. It was just a one night stand like every regular one. It shouldn't hurt this much. Leo couldn't believe himself for falling for a girl he has barely known for days.
• Throwing himself into the bed, he screamed into the sheets and didn't realize his phone was ringing. He let himself stay still for a long minute as he breathed slowly. Someone knocked on his door but he didn't respond. The door opened letting in his stepsister, Scarlett.
• "Hey, big bro." She called out while pulling at his leg.
• Taking a deep breath he turned to look at her. "What do you want, Scar? I am really not in the mood to talk to you."
• Scarlett let out an awkward chuckle. “Yeah, I get it. But dad has been trying to reach you and was worried that something might be wrong. So I told him you are home."
• "What does he want?" Leo inquired looking disinterested.
• "I don't know. You should pick your call." She mused walking out of the room.
• Sitting up, Leo searched his bag for his phone. He had about five missed calls from his mom and dad. It made him feel torn on who to call first. He decided calling his father would be best, he hardly calls anyone when he is at work. Whatever he has to say must be important.
• Ethan picked the call on the first ring. ‘What happened to you, boy?’ He bellowed into the receiver.
• Leo pulled the phone away from his ear at the noise. ‘I didn't realize the phone was ringing. What's wrong?’
• ‘Your mom. She has been calling you for a long while and called me when she couldn't reach you. You know how easily worried she gets, endeavor to keep your phone close to you please.’ His father sounded frustrated. Knowing how his mom can be. Leo could imagine how much stress she must have put his father through.
• ‘I am sorry about that, dad. I will call her now.’ He replied.
• There was a brief pause on the other line. ‘Are you okay, son?’
• ‘I am perfectly fine. You should get back to work.’ Leo urged hanging up.
• He hates being asked personal questions like that. Inhaling, he leaned further into the bed trying to conserve his energy to speak to his mother. Dialing her contact, he counted his breath.
• ‘Hello mom.’ He mumbled the moment the line went through.
• ‘Hey baby.’ Her voice sounded really off.
• Leo sat up abruptly. ‘What happened to you, mom?’
• ‘I am not feeling too well, baby. Please don't panic. I have breast cancer.’
• He jolted from the bed. ‘How? When did you find out? Why am I just hearing about this?’ He questioned frantically.
• ‘Relax, honey. This is why I told you not to panic.’ Grace mumbled. ‘It's not at a critical stage. I will get surgery and be fine. But I will need you to be here for me baby.’
• ‘Definitely, mom. I will right there when you need me. I can get on a flight to where you are right this minute.’
• ‘Take your time,baby. I know your finals will be done in few weeks time, my surgery has also been scheduled to take place in about a month time. You can come then. I promise I will hold on till then.’
• ‘Come on, mom. I can always take the exams later on.’ Leo insisted.
• ‘No, baby. I don't want you stopping anything for me. Get done with your finals and you can come, please.’
• He hummed reluctantly. ‘But please stay strong for me, mom. I will come to you as soon as I am done.’
• ‘Sure, honey. I love you, baby.’
• ‘I love you too, mom. Please take care of yourself. I will ask dad to find a way to discuss with the school authority if I can get my exams done online, so I can be with you on time.’
• ‘It's fine, baby. This is the time you need to enjoy your last days in high school. I'm sorry I had to ruin this for you. If only I was next to you.’ Grace drawled.
• ‘Don't be like that, mom. I don't care about anything else but you. Just hold on for me. Alright?’
• ‘Sure, my love. Bye, baby.’
• ‘Bye, mom.’ Leo ended the call with a heavy heart.
• He had heard a car drive into the premises and he could tell it was his father. Stepping out of the room, he got down the stairs to find the rest of the family seated with a gloomy expression. He rolled his eyes. "Can you all quit with the faces? She isn't going to die."
• Ethan stood up to meet with him. "I'm really sorry, son. She wanted to break the news to you herself. I just had to let you hear from her. When would you like to leave? I could talk to your principal to let you have an online exam."
• "It's just two weeks. Mom said her surgery isn't due until after three weeks from now. I don't want to exhaust my privilege. Also there is a need for me round up a lot of things in school. As soon as it's all cleared, I would leave." Leo said.
• "Are you okay?" Evelyn asked in her usual concerned voice.
• He nodded with a stiff smile. “Sure, how about we eat out tonight. Bills on dad." Leo joked.
• Ethan rolled his eyes as they all laughed. "With all pleasure."
