"Alls, you ready for your friends?" my dad looked at me. I blinked a couple of times to make sure he was really there. I nodded even though I was tired and felt frail.

"Actually dad, only send Austin in" I whisper. He's the one who deserves an explanation. It was him I was with when I collapsed and had to be hospitalized. I close my eyes and try to remember when I last saw Austin.

We were at the fair. The sun was setting and it was starting to get dark. I was feeling faint, but I hadn't told Austin. The way his eyes had been twinkling and his smile was from ear to ear, it would break my heart to tell him tonight like I had originally planned.

"Alls, I'm gonna get us some cotton candy, ok?" Austin asked

"Yeah sounds good!" I said. I sat down on the bench as he went to get in line for food. My head was pounding and I felt like I had to throw up. I layed down on the bench. A few minutes of shut eye wouldn't hurt….right? Next thing I knew I woke up in the hospital.

Dad nods and walks out. I force my eyes to stay open even though they were heavy. The door opens and the familiar bleach blonde hair walks in. His eyes are bloodshot and he has bags under his eyes.

"Alls" He murmurs and looks at me. "Why didn't you tell me?"

"So you wouldn't worry" I try to hold back my tears. I try to sit up out of the hospital but can't muster up the energy. I let myself fall back on the bed. "But I'll tell you know." I look into his eyes trying to find the comforting feeling I get from his beautiful eyes but I can't find it anywhere. He looks almost broken. "Austin. It's cancer. I have lung cancer. And I have to have surgery in hopes that it will not spread." His eyes water. The tears from my eyes fall.

"Ally don't cry. Please. I'm here." Austin leans over and kisses my forehead. I close my eyes and drift into the sleep that's been long awaiting me.

A/N I know its short but I'll probably continue with a couple of reviews…how'd you like it?
