Dave had just walked out of the room and Alli was in a bit of a daze. Her mind was still processing everything that had just happened to her. She kept asking herself had Dave really just walked out on her? She kept thinking that he would come back. Then, she knew it was a hopeless cause. What she'd said, what she'd told him she'd do, would tear them apart possibly forever. She was torn, Alli loved Dave, a whole lot, she never used to think of him as anything but just a friend, but for some reason Alli was drawn to him, and she couldn't help herself when she'd fallen for him. But Alli knew she wasn't ready to have a kid, she knew deep down if she were to have had this child—if she were pregnant, she was still awaiting the call from the clinic—she would end up bitter and she would regret it all. She didn't want to regret anything, she loved Dave and she was glad that they'd slept together now. In fact, Alli, down the line, could even see herself marrying him. But not now, she couldn't do that now. She knew that if she got the call saying she was in fact pregnant Alli would get an abortion. She couldn't do it like Jenna had, she couldn't go through this at her age. She'd seen what it had done to Jenna. She'd seen how it had tore her up, and how it made her an adult and not a teenager, and Alli wanted to stay herself as long as she could before she had to give everything up for adulthood. Alli would get the abortion if she needed it.

"Alli." Clare's voice broke through Alli's thoughts and Alli turned around to greet her friend with a small smile, and a nod when Clare asked if she was okay. As Clare opened her mouth to say something else Alli heard her phone start to ring. Clare held the phone out to Alli as she walked deeper into the room.

Alli took the phone with one hand and before answering she held out her other hand, "Hold my hand?" She asked softly, suddenly nervous. Clare took Alli's hand and held it in a soft grip whereas Alli was holding on tightly. "Hello." She said as she answered. "Yes, this is Alliah Bhandari." Clare's eyes were glued to Alli and Alli felt calmer with her best friend in the room as she took the call.

"Hello Miss Bhandari. We're calling to tell you that your results have come back from the lab. And, the good news is, you're not pregnant." The words echoed in Alli's ears, so loud and vibrant she had missed the part about it being the good news. There was a smile bigger than the youngest Bhandari had ever smiled in her lifetime. It was the doctor's words that broke Alli's smile. "However, there is something else," Alli's eyes looked into Clare's with a hint of fear as she held her friends tighter. The doctor spoke in her ear again. "Now, I'm not a professional on this, and I can't test it, but you said something about breast cancer, it's in your file."

Alli cut the doctor off, her voice a bit shaky , "Yes. My-My Aunt died of it. Why is that important?" She had a bit of edge to her voice, she was nervous and scared but most of all annoyed at the doctor for bringing this up. "I mean, why do you need to know that information?" She tried her best to calm down her voice, but from the look on Clare's face Alli could tell it hadn't worked.

The doctor sighed softly and Alli could hear a hint of impatience in the doctors voice—Alli figured it was due to how her tone had been, and she felt sorry, but she wanted to know what the doctor was about to say. "Look, Miss Bhandari, some of the symptoms you told me about, they're not fully compatible with being pregnant." The doctor took in a breath and let it out as she spoke once more, "It's not a sure thing, and I can't test it in your blood samples Miss Bhandari, but you might want to check out the possibility of it being breast cancer. That's all I can tell you, now I can recommend a good doctor and everything for you, but I myself am not a specialist, I only work in this clinic. But, a good friend of mine works as a specialist in the field and I'm sure she'd be willing to test you…Miss Bhandari, are you still there?"

Alli's head was spinning, she felt like crying and she wanted to scream. This wasn't what she had pictured after hearing that she wasn't pregnant. She wanted to be happy, to go off to MIT to do everything she'd ever dreamed of. But, cancer? How could this be happening? Sure it wasn't a definite thing, but…this doctor was going on and on about how she couldn't test it in the blood, but she could recommend someone who could test Alli for this possibility. Alli took in a deep breath, worry painted her face and she looked at her friend Clare, who stood there as Alli's grip on her hand tightened, motionless. Clare looked at Alli with the most caring face in the world, and Alli just wanted to cry in her friends arms. What was the last thing the doctor had said? "Y-Yes, I'm still here." Alli spoke shakily when she finally remembered what the doctor's last words had been.

"I'm going to give you my friend's information and you head on over to the hospital whenever you can, I'll tell her about you so she can expect you sometime soon. Does this sound okay?" Papers. Papers were rustling on the other side of the phone and Alli realized the doctor was looking for the number and office of her friend, or something else.

Alli nodded her head slowly, but after realizing the doctor couldn't see her nod, and the doctor asked if it was okay once more Alli spoke, "That sounds okay."

The information was found after a few moments of silence and then the doctor said goodbye when Alli knew she meant good luck. Alli turned the phone off and looked at Clare, tears finally releasing from her big brown eyes as she collapsed into Clare's arms sobbing.
