chapter two
I was glad when that night was over. They told
me they wanted to try radiation and if they had to chemo therapy. I agreed and
when I went home I tried to act like nothing happened. But, it was hard. I had
to go back on Saturday which was 2 days after Justin got here. I was so excited
about him coming but I was also so nervous. How would he take the news? And the
rest of the guys too, I mean they all five my best friends but, Justin was different.
The days couldn't pass soon enough. I was ready for Justin to get here.
( ON THURSDAY NIGHT)
Justin's plane was supposed to land an hour ago. Where are they? He said he
would come over right away. I thought to myself just as I heard a knock at the
door. I ran and looked out the window. I saw the silhouette of five figures. I
opened the door and Chirs, Lance, Joey, Jc, and Justin came barreling in.
"Hey cutie, I haven't seen you in so long!" Justin said, I ran over and
hugged him with all I had. I hugged the rest of the guys and we talked for a few
minutes.
"Justin, can I talk to you a second, alone." I asked him. I felt
better already and now I had to tell him. This was my only chance.
"Yeah, sure why don't we go upstairs?"
"That'd be good." I walked up the stairs and Justin followed close
behind.
"So what is it?"
"ok, this isn't easy for me to say. But, ok you know the other night when we
talked? Well what I was trying to tell you then I am going to tell you
now."
"Ok, go ahead..."
"When I called you I wasn't exactly at home. I was, was at the hospital."
I explained. My eyes were rimmed with tears and my hands were shaking.
"They wanted to keep me for a few tests. Justin, I have leukemia, they said
I have anywhere between 4 months and 6 months left" I finished. I was
crying hard now. The expression on Justin's face was weird, motionless, then he
looked at me. He didn't say anything at first. He stood up and so did I . I
walked over to him and he held me in his arms. I didn't want him to ever let go,
I just stood there and cried.
