"Maybe you should just forget about him." Maddie walks to our table with me.

"I can't, I love him."

"If you loved him why did you break it off?"

"Because... I don't know, I want things to be normal again."

"Maybe you should talk to him." Maddie says shoving Mac n' Cheese into her mouth.

"Yeah, maybe." I say sighing. I look to where he's sitting. He looks miserable too. He looks my way and we catch each others eyes. Staring into his, I get up and walk over to him. He looks strangely confused. I lay my hands on his face and kiss him. I can here an 'oooohhhhhh' come from my friends. I smirk and let his lips go of mine. Still grasping his face I say, "I love you."

He licks his lips and swallows hard. He says, "You don't even know how much I love you."

This makes me kiss him more. I say, "I'm sorry." As I kiss him more.

"Me too."

I gasp for air as he lets my lips intertwine with his. Our fingers lace together as he dips his hand under my shirt. I run my fingers into his hair. When we detach his hairs a mess. His hairs are sticking out each other way. I jump onto his back as he races along the water.

We had gone to the beach for the day. Why? To celebrate our getting back together. He's mine and I'm his. Now and forever. Don't worry we didn't get married or anything like that.

Water splashes behind him as he throws me into the water. I come up for air as I gag on water that's entered my mouth. I swim up to Matthew and grab his leg, pulling him in. He laughed and falls in with me. I swim out deeper until I can barely touch. He follows of course. Again he intertwines his lips in mine, slowly. I wrap my legs around his waist and wrap my arms around his neck. He moves to my jaw line and gives little pecks and nibbles. I squirm out of his reach as his nibbling on my jaw line tickles me.

"Bridget." He calls.

"Hmm?" I hum.

"When we get out of high school or college, which ever, I want to marry you. I don't know what I'd do without you. We can buy a little house fix it up. We can have four kids, two boys and two girls, and they'll live happily in our house as me and you make love while they're at school, or at friends' house." He fixates his eyes on mine.

To be honest I hadn't thought of a family. Not yet anyway. And it's usually the girl that's dreaming about getting married. Now he's thinking about all this. It was getting rushed, our relationship. It's going to fast. It's like a Ferris wheel, it can't go to fast or you'll fall off. That's our relationship. Oh god what will I do? I love him though.

"And we can grow old together. I'll die first, don't worry." Matthew rambles.

He'll die first! I'm not even thinking about what kind of job I want! Now we're talking about death! Who does he think he is!

"Yeah." That's all I can make out.

"I'm sorry. I sprang all this on you. I guess I got a little bit too excited." Matthew looks at me.

"It's fine. Your fine." That's all I can say. It's awkward now. I can't believe he just went there, death, marriage, family.

"I-I should go now though it's getting late." I say swimming back to shore. Matt doesn't hesitate. Maybe he regrets saying those things. Great.

"You know I've thought about having a family, just I never pictured it with a specific person." I lie. I don't want him to think poorly of me.

"Yeah?"

"Yup. All the time."

"Well maybe you can put a face to that mystery man." He says wrapping his arms around me. I hug him tight not wanting to let him go.

"I do want to be with you, forever." I whisper into his shirt.

He rests his chin on my head. He says, "I love you."

"I love you too."

I lay down on my bed and shut my eyes. I here a text come in. I roll over and groan. I look at it. It's from Matthew. I open it up.

It's probably nothing important. He probably just twisted his ankle or something. But I do go to the hospital though. Just go see if he's alright. I go to the front desk and ask for his room number. I walk down the hall to his room. I peep my head in.

"Hey." I say.

"Hi." His voice is raspy.

"Are you okay?" I ask kind of concerned now.

"Bridget sit down." He points to the chair. I slowly sit down not saying a word. I swallow hard.

He says, "I don't know how to tell you this. I've been thinking of a way to tell you all day, there's no simple way of putting this. Bridget, I have a glioblastoma, it's a type of cancer in the brain. It's very aggressive."

My eyes fill with tears and my words get choked in my mouth. I manage to say, "it'll get better though right?"

His eyes are filled with tears now too. "I don't know. They say if I don't get any of the treatment now then I will only have a year to live."

"Matthew!" I cry, big sobs of tears now. Full out crying. I crawl to his side and cuddle in next to him. He wraps his arms around my shoulders. I cry into his chest as he cries into my head.

"You can't leave me. I love you." I cry.

Readers,

You like my cliff hanger? My uncle had a glioblastoma. He died when I was young. He was the only father I had. He lives a year in nursing homes and died when he was only 53. That's might seem pretty old but it's really not. Nobody should die that young. Personally i think 75 is when you get old old. Anyway, I got mixed up on how many more chapters there are. This is only the seventh one and I'd like 20. That means I need 13 more. I Leo a lot won't do that though. I'll only have 15 chapters instead. That means there'll only be eight more chapters. Woo hoo!!! Can't wait. How do you want it to end? Matthew dies of stays alive? Wait to find out! To answer someone's question, and I'm sure others of you are wondering this, will there be a second Cellphone Swap? That all depends if Matthew dies or not. I'll tell you if there will be a second book at the end of the final chapter. If I don't make a sequel you can always read my other teen love books. I'll always have one. And again, any comments or suggestions do help in my work so if there's any advice or things you like about my work that'll help me greatly. The ire you comment about my writing the better of a writer I can be which means it'll be easier for you to read. I'm here for your pleasure always. REMEMBER THAT!
