chapter fourteen
"Where are you going?" Amandas mom asked her as she walked out the
door.
"Out,"
"Where?"
"Somewhere thats not your little camp." She said and glared at her
mom. She had stopped crying, but still was extremley mad, and upset.
"Amanda," She started to say but Amanda got in her car and drove away.
Where am I even going? She asked herself. She didnt care as long as she got out
of the house. she just drove until she found herself standing at Justins
doorstep. She nervously rang the doorbell and heard Mrs. harless say "Coming".
When she opened the door and saw amanda standing there her eyes lit up and she
smiled.
"I havent seen you in so long. How have you been?" She asked.
"Ok I guess, is Justin around?"
"No sorry hun hes not, he had to go over to his dads and step moms house to
pick up his little brothers. But I can tell him you stopped bye." She
apoligized.
"That would be great. Do you know if Jc or Chris are here?" Amanda
asked disappointed.
"Actually hun, I think they are. You can go up and check if you like."
"Ok thanks," Amanda said and went up stairs. She slightly knocked on
Jcs door and waited for an answer.
"Come in," He yelled over the stereo. Hesitantly she walked in. He
looked surprised to see her but smiled.
"So whats up?" He asked.
"Oh, nothing really I just had the biggest fight with my mom. I am so sorry
to come and bug you but I didnt know where else to go," She explained.
"Dont worry about it really, thats what friends are for. Now what
happened?"
"I cant belive her. She wants me to go to this camp. It is in California
and is 3 months long. It is for sick people and she wants me to go. she says it
will be a great expierence and give us a chance to put our life back together. I
think she is just trying to forget about me and my disease and she thinks
sending me away is some how going to help." Amanda said and started to cry
again.
"Amanda thats not true at all. She isnt trying to forget about you or the
disease. Please dont cry it will all turn out alright."Jc reassured.
"You sound just like my mother.God, it seems like the whole world is just
turning against me. Why did this have to happen? i dont understand. One day I
feel fine, perfectly normal. And then go in for those treatments and I feel sick
and it seems like they are doing more harm than good. How can that possibly help
me? And now if have to go to that camp they will keep giving me these treatments
and I wont have anyone there to comfort me or keep me company or be there with
me while I go to see the doctor. It just isnt fair." Amanda cried and put
her head in her hands. Jc just looked at her and didnt know what to say. He knew
the littlest thing would set her off so he chose his words carefully.
