AN: yay new chapter! Reviewers of Chapter 2 will get a free chibi Matt (squee!)
Matt: NOOOOOOOO NOT A CHIBI MEEEEEEE! Okay fine…. And this chapter will mostly contain Brandon, a cancer survivor. This chapter takes place around may 12 or 13th
Matt rolled out of bed, hitting the floor with an audible thud, which could be heard from Collin and Hunter's room. "Meh. Too early…." He was exhausted, he didn't go to bed until around midnight, but he saw Kenda was awake, as she was coming up the stairs.
"Matt? You okay?" Kenda asked. Upon seeing him alright, she rolled her eyes and laughed, "Wow, nice job of scaring me, ass!" she chuckled, kissing his head and sitting with him, "Well Kenda I'm tired!" Matt rolled onto his back, and just lay in the blankets until their savannah cat Jake licked his face.
Matt and Kenda laughed "Hey Jake!" Matt said happily, ruffling the cat's fur. Jake was part savannah part Bengal. Matt sighed soon whispering "How are we telling the boys? Jake excluded…" He knew Jake wouldn't know what cancer was, hell he was a cat! He chuckled at the thought.
Kenda sighed… "I don't know… I really don't to be honest Mattie…. Yes I went there so shut up." She laughed, soon going to wake the boys. She smiled seeing the boys up and dressed for school.
Collin sighs "Mom, we heard everything… We know dad has cancer! We know what it is, Is there any way that we can help him?" Collin was determined to help his father. His brown eye glinted. (AN: Collin's heterochromatic, Fun fact!)
Kenda nods "You guys don't have to go to school… if you don't want to…" She knew this must be hard for her kids, but she was a little surprised to see the boys wanting to go to school. "Oh right, your weekend field trip…. Have fun I guess…." She soon went back to Matt.
Matt was curled up asleep with Jake lying beside him. His dark brown hair was messy from Jake licking it,
Brandon looked at his phone as it rang, it was Chase. He picked it up "Hey Chase…." He said tiredly, he had his yearly MRI tomorrow. He wasn't too happy about it, but he shrugged it off. "So how's school been?" he asked.
Chase sighs "I'm okay… I hope you don't have cancer dad…" he tapped his fingers nervously on his keyboard, ironically typing 'hi dad', he soon sighed and tears streamed down his face as sobs came out.
Brandon heard Chase sobbing, "Chase? Are you alright? I won't have cancer; trust me on this one, kiddo… Listen I gotta go get some sleep, sorry we couldn't talk long…" He felt pretty bad for making his own child cry. He lets tears flow,
Chase soon murmurs "Alright dad…. I'll let you go… I gotta sleep anyways too. See you soon." He hangs up the phone and plays angry birds and soon drifts off to sleep.
An hour later, Lexi strode into Chase's room to set his phone on his dresser and pulling the covers over him,
The next afternoon the films had come back, just 2 hours after his MRI… Brandon looked them over with the doctor, and thankfully there were no tumors, but there were certainly storms to be chased!
(AN: Ah my god this is taking me way too long to write…. XD… Back to Matt and Kenda)
Matt ate some pizza while watching the NHL Stanley Cup Finals; the Sabres were up 2 to 0 with 5 minutes left in the game. When the game was over he shut the TV off and threw the plate away and put the box in the fridge. He walked halfway up the stairs and collapsed.
Kenda heard Matt collapse and went out to get him. "Oh poor Matt… This must be terrible for him!" Kenda laid him on the bed, covering him up. She sat next to him, knowing he had his first treatment in the morning, "He was pretty tired, I hope he sleeps well…." She murmurs, lying next to him
(Matt's chemo will begin in the next Chapter, for now, I give you Jenna!)
Jenna was sitting on her bed reading posts on Facebook when she saw Matt's latest post. Her mahogany eyes got wide and tears formed in them. "Oh my god… Poor guy! I wish I was there to support him!" she looked at her friend James. "Sorry about that, it's just that…. Matt is my favorite storm chaser and, well I just want to help him!" she cried into her hands.
James smiled, "We CAN help! Don't worry, I have an idea. Monday we could talk to the teachers and organize a school wide benefit!" he smiled, soon texting Kenda with that idea. He sighed, "I know this is going to work!"
Jenna and James were soon asking each other stupid questions and laughing until they both drifted off to sleep.
Sorry for the short chapter my brain went completely dead after the first Jenna paragraph. Next chapter is when Jenna and James meet Matt.
