My mom was waiting for me when I got home. I ran into her arms as soon as I closed the door and fell apart.
"Hey what's wrong honey?" she asked hugging me
"He has a brain tumor." I hiccuped out
"Can't they remove it?" she asked sitting down on the couch
"No they told him there's nothing they can do. I'm just supposed to sit here and watch him die!" I cried looking at her
"I'm sorry honey." she said wiping the tears from my cheeks
"I can't do it mom. I won't!" I told her standing up
"What are you going to do?" she asked looking a little confused
"I'm going to tell him about the werewolves." I said with conviction in my voice
"Are you sure you want to do that?" she asked " That would mean you would have to tell him what you are. He might not like that you kept this big of a secret from him."
"Yes I'm sure. I know I will have to tell him what I am. If he gets mad then he gets mad, but I have to try." I said pacing
"I don't know. Maybe you should call Bran and talk to him before you go telling werewolf secrets." she said "Explain everything to him. Plus you can tell him you are going to your fathers wedding."
"Okay I'll call him and why do I have to go to his wedding?' I wined at her
"Because he's your father and I said so." she said throwing me the phone
"Yeah but he left us for her. He doesn't even call me and you expect me to go to his wedding?" I asked catching the phone
"Yes I do." she said crossing her arms
"Fine but I don't like it." I said dialing Bran's number
"Hello" answered Leah
"Hey Leah is Bran there?" I asked
"Just a minute." She said handing Bran the phone
"Hey Arianna. What's going on?" He asked
"My mom thought I should talk to you. My boyfriend is sick and I want to help but I would have to tell him and his mom some things about werewolves." I said kind of rushed
"Okay slow down and start from the beginning." He said sounding a little confused
"Well Joey just found out he has a brain tumor and the doctors said that there is nothing they can do. I want to tell him that becoming a werewolf will help him but that would require telling him a lot more than the average human knows. I would have to tell him how I know so much and what I am. My mom thought I should get your permission first. I'm also supposed to tell you that I will be there for my father's wedding." I said tears streaming down my cheeks.
"Of course you have permission." He said
"Really? That was easier than I thought it was going to be." I said between breathes
"Arianna if all I knew about him is that you love him that would be enough." he said
"Thanks Bran that means a lot." I said smiling through the tears
"Anytime let me know how it goes and it they have any questions." he said hanging up the phone
