Hi my name is Riley Marie Beauchamp and I am 15 years old
My Mum is Connie and my dads name is Michael (although i barely know him)
I have one younger sister Grace but she lives with her dad Sam (I think they are in New York but nobody is 100% sure because he took her and we didn't know until they had gone)
Welcome to my crazy life
'Riley we are going to be late" my Mum yells at me from the bottom of the stairs, I grab my phone and bag and run.
'Coming' I yell back as I open my door
I am 1 month into year 11 and I already hate GCSEs
My Mum has been very quiet lately which is very worrying considering at work she is very stern and icy I think some would say.
She barely speaks the whole way to drop me at school so once we are there I lean and give her a kiss on the cheek say goodbye and go into school.
...
So as usual school is the same
I start with double English then I have double maths and then I have science... talk about boring.
I only really tolerate going to school because I have friends I can talk to when I need them.
Mum usually listens but ever since Sam took Grace away she's been awfully quiet and hasn't really listened to me all that much
...
Once school is finished I know Mum is still at the hospital, so I begin walking there as its not far.
Once arriving at the hospital I ignore everyone and go straight to Mums office put in the pin and sit down, Of course she's not here because she's off treating patients but part of me wishes she was so I could find out what's wrong...
After completing some homework I pull out my phone and notice its coming up to half 4, she was supposed to finish at 4.
I step outside Mums office and walk towards Charlie's and gently knock the door and he let's me in
'Hey Charlie, Have you seen my Mum? Her shift finished almost half an hour ago' I ask
'No but I can go and find out for you, I have to go and check on a patient anyway' He replies. Sometimes I wonder what I did to deserve such an amazing person like Charlie in my life
'Thanks Charlie, I'd be lost without you' He chuckles slightly and leaves. I take a seat and text a couple of friends while I wait.
Its about 20 minutes before I hear the door go I look up thinking its Mum with Charlie but it's Duffy instead...
'Hey Riley, I thought you were in your Mums office?' She asks, she's not seen Charlie then
'Yeah I was but she was supposed to finish her shift around an hour ago and nobody seems to have seen her so Charlie offered to see for me' I reply back, part of me hoped she has seen mom...
'Oh' was the only reply she gave before she disappeared again
My phone pings so I decide to put my earphones in, play some music and text my friends back
another 20 minutes passes and the door goes again, its Duffy and this time shes bought some snacks and hot drinks, whats going on?
'Nobody's seen your Mum for a while so Charlie has gone to go and see if Hansen has seen her, she's only got to be around here somewhere' Duffy said, Great maybe I should have just gone straight home
'Oh okay, Thanks Duffy' I say as she hands me some crisps my favourite chocolate bar (a twix of course) and nice cup of coffee, before asking me about school
...
Duffy and I had a really nice chat and before we knew it, it was now around 7pm
Charlie come into the office and informed me that my Mum and Ethan were in an emergency meeting and could't get out of it, an emergency meeting? with Ethan? I thought to my self. It didn't make sense.
Charlie then told me that my Mom was now back in her office grabbing her things to leave for the night so I thanked Duffy for a nice chat, the snacks and the drink and then said goodbye before grabbing my phone and leaving their office.
I walked into Mums office as she had her door open and grabbed my backpack and coat and then I notice she has a bandage on her arm and she looks fairly pale.
'Where have you been?' I ask her bluntly
'Didn't Charlie tell you? I was in a meeting with Ethan?' She tells me almost like she was questioning it herself
'And what happened to your arm? Are you ill?' I ask
'No everythings fine darling, shall we go home?' She says
'Not until you tell me whats wrong.' I reply back
'We can have a chat when we are home okay'
I give in and leave the office, I notice Charlie and Duffy at the nurses station and wave at them before making my way to the car.
...
Once we are home I sit sit down in the kitchen and wait for my Mum's explanation.
She looks at me and sighs before almost crying.
'I'm so sorry darling, I've not exactly been straight with you' She says I'm really worried now
'Whats wrong?' I say my voice almost trembling
'I have Cancer.' She replies back
Those are the 3 words I never expected to come out of my Mums mouth.
Why her? Not now please...
My only reaction was to cry...
...
So thats the end of chapter one.
I wasn't really sure were to go with this and to be honest I just made it up as I went along.
Hopefully I can plan out the next chapter so it will make more sense
thanks for reading
