Riley's POV:
I'm to a lost to what I'm suppose to do because believe it or not nothing like this has ever happened to me. Should I tell someone? Should I tell Ben? My best friend, I was thinking about what I should do when I heard someone knocking on the door, again. I sigh and decided that maybe this might be important so I got up and walked to it. After unlocking it I moved out of the way to see who was there.
"Happy birthday!" I heard two people yelling and then I was trapped inside a hug that I could not escape. I knew that if I didn't get out soon I would suffocate and die before the cancer got to me.
"Thanks I thought that you all had forgotten." I told them letting Ben and Abigail inside my house.
"Dude would I ever forget my best friend birthday?" Ben asked when I gave him the stare he smiled nervously and then shrugged. "What I'm a busy man. Sorry about forgetting it but I brought you a cake." He said smiling but Abigail cleared her throat and then he rolled his eyes. "Alright we brought you a cake."
"Happy birthday Riley." Abigail said hugging me when Ben let go of me.
"Thanks Abby." I said walking to my kitchen and grabbing plates and forks. "Coffee, milk or beer?" I asked him.
"You can drink?" Ben asked me taking the plates out of my hands and placing them on the table.
"Believe it or not I am older then twenty one so it is legal for me to drink Ben." I said as I handed Abigail a knife so that she could cut the cake.
"Yeah something I forget that because of the way that you act." Abigail said.
"Hey Abby what do you call an eternity?" She looked at me raising an eyebrow I smiled because she didn't know this one. " Four Blondes in four cars at a four way stop." I could not help myself sometime because it is just my nature. Before I knew it Ben was laughing and Abigail was fuming.
"Do you ever act your age?" She muttered handing me cake.
"Where is the fun in that?" I asked eating my cake happily.
---------------------------
It was a great night we joked and laughed, but all the while doing so I could not keep my mind of what was inside me. I knew that I should tell them but this would just ruin our night together and that was the last thing that I wanted at this moment.
"Hey it's getting late so we are going to go because we have to work tomorrow." Ben said and then muttered under his breath "You would think that even if you are rich you don't have to work, you know? But no." Ben said standing up and walking to the door when he was almost there he stopped and turned around. "Oh by the way are you doing anything tomorrow. I know that it's going to be a late birthday lunch but I want to do it?" I knew that he was trying to make it up to me so I decided that I would be a great friend and agree.
"Sure but we should probably make that super I have a lot to do tomorrow." I told him.
"Sounds good I'll come and get you around six." He said walking out and leaving me all alone in my little apartment.
Ben's POV:
When we got home I was tired and ready for bed. It was almost three in the morning. "Did you notice something strange about Riley he looked distanced, didn't you think?" Abigail said walking into our room.
I had notice but I had just guessed that he had just been upset about us forgetting his birthday. "I don't know." I said walking to the bed dropping onto it. "But what I know is that I am tired."
Riley's POV:
Man, I hate . . . detest . . . despise hospitals, there are no words to describe how I hate them, that is without talking about the service that you get here. I was in the waiting room, waiting for the test result to all the tests that I had taken this morning. I was tapping my foot on the ground looking around trying to clear my mind. When I heard someone walking to me.
"Riley Poole?" I got up and looked at a nurse that was smiling at me. "The doctor is ready to see you. If you would follow me I'll show you the way." I followed her down the white hallways. Until we arrived a door that had the name Doctor James Cowl, the nurse opened the door for me.
When I walked in I saw that there was a doctor that was sitting at the desk and when he saw me he got up and pointed me to a seat. "Have a seat." I did just that then he smiled at me. "How are you doing?"
I know that he was trying to be nice to me I didn't care about that all I wanted to know was if the test had been right the first time. "Doctor do I or do I not have cancer?"
"I'm sorry all the test confirmed that you had cancer." He said and he actually sounded and looked sorry about it.
"How long do I have?"
"Sir there are many treatments out there that could give you many more years." He tried but I didn't care about that.
"I don't want to sound like I'm already giving up but I do not want to stay in a hospital for the rest of my life so please tell me doctor how long?" I could tell that I was about to lose it.
"Without treatment you have ten months to the most a year, I'm sorry."
