With Time, We Fall
Chapter Twenty Four

Troy

Things were going really well with Addison. We had been together for almost 3 months until I was sick again. Not sick of Addison, sick of myself.
And that's what I could never tell her.
"I'm sorry, I don't want to get you sick! No I'm not bailing. I'll pick you up tomorrow afternoon and we'll go out for dinner and a movie, what ever you want okay? Okay. Goodnight." I hung up as Ryan was walking into my room.
"So you still remember I'm alive? It's been too long man."
"I know, I'm sorry. I just-"
"I know, Addison, Addison, Addison. What ever. You sounded worried when you called me whats going on?" 
I looked at Ryan. My best friend since, forever. He is the only person that knows everything about me. "We lost our medical insurance because my dad quit. And he can't collect unemployment."
"What does that mean?" Ryan asked hesitantly 
"I haven't had my medicine for 2 months and I keep getting worse." 
"Which medicine Troy. If you're talking about your b*tch *ss flinstone vitamins man..."
I didn't say anything. 
"Sh*t you're talking about...you haven't had your anti-depressants in 2 months."
I nodded. "Can I tell you something."
He shook his head, "Yeah man anything."
"I'm scared. And I think I need to go to the hospital soon because that is the only way I can get them." 
Ryan stood up, "I'll take you right now, come on."
"No. Not tonight, soon though. I have to tell Addison." 
Ryan scratched his head, he knew he couldn't convince me to leave. "Okay I'm staying with you then." 
"Okay."

"You look beautiful Addison" 
She blushed, "Thank you."
I got out of the car and walked over to her, grabbing her waist and pulling her close to me, hugging her for a while. I kissed her and smiled, "I love you." 
She pulled back a little, looking me in the eyes with her sparkling gray eyes. She finally smiled, "Troy!" Addison giggled, "I love you too!" 
"Wait, don't say 'too'." 
"Why not?"
"It ends it. It's over after you say too"
"Who told you that?" She laughed 
"A kid I knew." 
"You knew a lot of kids, and anyway. I love you, better?" 
I grinned, "Good" and I kissed her again "Ready to go?"
