A Little Life - Continued

[Lumina]

Bradly exited his large dorm room with a piece of paper in his hands. He was reading over one of the most recent letters for him uncle who was married and lived somewhere near Kay and Arron, who were busy with their son and their new daughter, Lindsey.

Not far away from where he was, Katey lived. He visited her on a daily basis and promised that he'd marry her one day.

[PrincessUnique]

Katey was making herself breakfast. And almost setting fire to several of the dishes. Even after living by herself for this long, she couldn't cook. She sighed.
"Ah well... Looks like burnt toast for breakfast again." She put some butter on it, and sat in the window seat of her room. She loved window seats, and had made her brother build one for her when it wasn't in the house she wanted. A small three bedroom house, with one bathroom, a kitchen, a entertainment room, and a dining room. She pulled the curtains apart, and looked out at the soundings. Marshmallow came to sit on her lap as she ate her toast. She was getting used to the taste of bunt things.
"Marshmallow.... How do you think my brother and everyone are doing?" She asked the cat.
"I'll bet Iwa is already in school now." She smiled a bit. "They've got another little one now you know... A girl."
Then she looked sadly up at the sky. "Arron's birthday is coming up soon.... In about a month... I wonder if I'll be there for it."

[Lumina]

Bradly was done with his classes for the day and was heading over to Katey's. It was never a long walk and it was one he always looked forward to! He knocked on her door with a new present, a little bear he'd gotten her the other day.

[PrincessUnique]

Katey opened the door and smiled broadly.
"Bradly!" She hugged him. "Your here!" Marshmallow was at her feet.
He sniffed at Bradly and walked away.

[Lumina]

Bradly wrapped his arms around her and then pulled the gift out of his bag, "I brought you something, my Sweet!" He pulled the bear out of his bag. It was holding a little black box.

[PrincessUnique]

Katey grinned. "YAY!" She exclaimed, and hugged him again. "It's so cute!"

[Lumina]

"Yes, just like you!" Bradly kissed her and looked down at it, "Well are you going to open it? It's a gift with a gift."

[PrincessUnique]

"OH! OH YEAH! Of corse!" She laughed, though she thought hesitantly that this was going to end badly. She opened the box.

[Lumina]

Inside was a little ring, exactly her size and gold with a little white diamond on the top. Engraved inside was 'love always'.
"Do you like it? I...I promised, it's not the most romantic moment..." Bradly was shaky, but smiling.

[PrincessUnique]

"Bradly.... You..." She started to cry. "You shouldn't spend your money on me so much...." She hugged him, and mumbled into his shirt something impossible to hear. It came out something like: "AHHUION"

[Lumina]

"I'm...sorry what?" Bradly started to go extremely pale, he'd just proposed and she was crying! He wasn't sure what to think now, was she saying no?
"You...don't want to marry me? Is there someone else?"

[PrincessUnique]

She shook her head. "No... I only love you. Never..." She sniffled. "It's just.... I'm so useless.... You know..." She looked at the ground. "I umm..." Tears fell to the carpet at her feet. "Can you promise not to tell Arron something... Important?...."

[Lumina]

Bradly felt sick to his stomach. His fists were clenched shaking...

This was supposed to be the happiest day of his life and hers. "Yeah...sure."

[PrincessUnique]

"I want to marry you... More than anything... But it's not fair to let you keep wasting things on me like this... Because... I could die soon...." Her tears fell faster now. "Because I won't be here much longer anyway. You shouldn't keep doing these things for me." She said. "So... Thank you for always taking care of me like this. But.... Goodbye..." She closed the door in his face, and slumped against it crying.

[Lumina]

Bradly had the ring in his hand, face pale and heart ripped in two. He walked off the porch and down the street before he found a bench to sit down on. He called Landon first thing.

"I...I love her too much." He said shakily.

"I know..." Landon replied over the phone, sounding really upset about what had happened.

Bradly felt like he'd been killed, he felt completely dead.

[PrincessUnique]

Katey didn't move from her spot. She just kept crying, Marshmallow came and sat at her feat. She didn't even seam to notice. She knew it would happen eventually; braking up with Bradly. Ever sense she found out she didn't have much longer to live. But it still hurt, even more than she had imagined.

[Lumina]

"CALM DOWN?! Don't stinking tell me to calm down! I've been friends with her my whole stinking life and I finally get up the freaking courage to propose and she..."

"Bradly! You're going to have another seizure if you keep this up!" His roommate was trying extremely hard to calm him down, but he was beyond control now. Something broke and Bradly finally threw himself onto his bed and laid down. Tired.

"She hates me...what did I do to deserve that?"

[PrincessUnique]

Katey slowly ran out of tears, and stood up. She walked to her bedroom, and sat in the window seat. Marshmallow sat in her lap and she smiled sadly up at the sky.
"I wonder...." She said and tears started to fall again.

[Lumina]

"Hey...thanks for coming..." James said as he opened the door. Any time this happened he'd call Kay for Bradly. She was the one who was able to calm him down, almost the only one.

After getting him settled down she decided to go visit Katey, something had happened between them and she knew it without Bradly even saying a word. She walked to her house and knocked on the door.

[PrincessUnique]

Katey had fallen asleep in the window seat. Her cheeks were flushed, and Marshmallow was was sitting in her lap.

[Lumina]

Kay walked in, having borrowed the key from Arron...that was if something went wrong with Katey and they had to get to her quickly should the door be locked.

"Katey?" Kay called in a soft voice.

[PrincessUnique]

Katey woke up at the sound of her name. She got to her feet, causing Marshmallow to meow and walk away.and Placing a hand on her forehead she frowned. Then called.
"I'm in my room Kay. I'll only be a second."
She brushed the cat hairs off her dress. She walked out into the house. She knew another bad thing was coming for sure.

[Lumina]

"Hey." Kay hugged her, "So...Bradly had a seizure...and he only has seizures when he panics so I can't figure out why he panicked and he wouldn't tell me because he was half unconscious when I got there. Do you know what happened? Has he been over today?" She asked out of curiosity, she didn't look like she was poking blame, she just looked curious.

[PrincessUnique]

Katey stared at her. "What? Oh.... I see.... Thank you for telling me.... Yes.... He was here, but he left already." Her eyes looked slightly glazed over, as if she was about to cry.
"Oh... Well of coarse he left... You just saw him... Right...." She laughed a bit. "Sorry bout that. I'm just a bit frazzled is all. It might be because we broke up...." She felt tears begin to form, and fall down onto the carpet. "I don't know though... I hope he'll be alright...."

[Lumina]

Kay looked shocked, "Broke up? He...he was going to propose today. So I'm assuming you did the breaking up then?" She didn't look angry, she just looked extremely disappointed. "I went to his dorm and he was collapsed on the floor. How hard did you hit him with that, Katey? I'm sorry to sound...I...I just don't understand."
