So this is my first story in a while, shall update when I can J Sorry the first chapter isn't much, just to give you a idea of how this story shall go.

She had let them down. The thought turned her stomach and clenched hard on the strings of her heart, life was no longer going to be the same. Why her? Life had been so kind to her of late, I guess it was time to pay for the months of blissful happiness. She couldn't tell the boys. Not yet. They were too young, at 16 she still saw the babies she had desperately wanted. She had to tell Julian, it was stupid to keep it a secret he would find out soon enough anyway. The months of pretending everything was fine had come to an abrupt end, it was now or never. The tears had already started, lump in her throat, sweaty palms. Be strong, she told herself. How would he react? The longer she took thinking, the more demons of doubt sew into her mind.

"Julian"

"Mhmm, just a minute baby, what time is it?".

Julian stirred in the bed, not quite awake, but not asleep either.

"It's early, it doesn't matter, we will talk in the morning".

She had chickened out, everything would be better in the morning she told herself.

"It's fine, I have to be up in an hour anyway, what's up?"

Brooke tried to hold back her tears, she struggled and fought, but her emotions were too strong. What if she lost it all?

"Brooke what's the matter?" he sounded serious, worried, he had every right to be.

He placed his hand in hers and laced together their fingers. He stared at her with his brown puppy dog eyes. God she loved him so much. The tears poured out in floods of emotions, she couldn't take it anymore, she didn't want to leave this behind. He took her into his arms and whispered " Brooke, what's the matter, please, shhh"

"I've got… I've got cancer"
