AN: Merry early Christmas, this chapter is dedicated to one of my best friends. He gave me a great inspration for this chapter. Whle talking to him he made me relize that finding out that you maybe losing something close to you is even harder than not having it at all. I hope his family can get through this problem all my prayers and wishes are going to him. Thank you to my frst reviewer Set Lopez for giving me encouragement to keep on writing this story.
The room had an eerie silence to it. He couldn't take the silence anymore. "You don't kn-"he started to say. But she stopped him.
"Don't say it. I think it's obvious of how much you missed me or atleast should have missed me. But you don't know how much pain you put me through. I have sat through chemo alone. I had no one to comfort me on my sixteenth birthday. You know maybe if you were there for my birthday, I would probably be up walking not laying here and not being able to walk ever again." You could hear the vemon in her voice when she spoke. It had almost sounded like she never wanted to see or speak to him ever again and that's what he thought until she spoke again. "You don't how hard it is to see your face everywhere I look. I always have to bring myself back to reality because I think of how you guys looked and acted before you became famous popstars" he was going to correct her by saying rockstar, but he knew she would get more angry with him then she already is. He watched her while she took deep breathes while trying to calm herself down. Of course that didn't help he thought. She was going to break down crying he sensed it. Ok he didn't he saw her lip quivering. He was right she started crying. "After you left, school changed so much, people were actually talking to me. I found out that it was because of you guys but did I care? No not at the time. All the attention made me feel special. After all those years of them laughing or snickering at me when I walked by I was finally someone to them. But they broke me. They broke the other half of my heart. You probably think I should hate you but I don't because I realized that you didn't want the fame. All you wanted was to inspire people with your music and you got that dream. After everything that's happened I'm still chasing mine. You don't know how much I missed you."
Somehow in the middle of her talking to him, he moved closer to her. With him being this close she did the unthinkable she hugged him. Boy did that make him fall in love with her again. But their moment was ruined when his two younger brother s came through the door and were talking rather loudly. The both of them heard bits and pieces of their loud conversation. One thing caught her attention. "Who do you think this girl is?" she was going to say something but he beat her to it. "Hi guys what a lovely day it is, note the sarcasm. What are you doing here?" when they looked up they couldn't believe their eyes and yes Linda did tell them the same thing she told him. Her Danger spoke first, "Aly I can't believe it." That was Danger for you he was always speechless or annoying when she tried calling him anything but his nickname. She smiled remembering the last time she actually called him by his real name, Shane. It was a stupid story of how he got his nickname. She was trying to wake him up and he fell off the bed. When he stood up he ran into the wall and five minuted later he fell down the stairs. After that day the name just fit.
It was silent in the room for a very long time no one new what to say or was it just there was nothing to say at all. Each person had no expreession on their face except for danger. He looked lke he was going to explode because of the quietness and he did eventually. "I can't belive oh my god I can't believe it. I have some one else to annoy instead of them. Wait I di not just say that. I do not annoy you guys on purpose it's just a coincencdence that you guys get annoyed with me. But oh my god I have Aly back my lfe is complete. Wait no I thought the last time I said that was when we performed for the president. So now my lifes even more complete. You know what I'm just gong to shut up before I say somethng I'm gong to regr- ow what was that for?" Danger asked after he had gotten hit by her.
"That was for talking to much and saying your going to annoy me. Oh and technically you were implying that you were going to annoy me even more than you are now" She said. Saying that brought back a memory that she would rather not have remembered.
"Don't tell her you can't tell her it will break her please don't tell her" he sad. She heard ther whole conversation while Danger was trying to annoy her or at least take the problem off of her mind. She wanted to know what was wrong with her. She knew it was something bad if he didn't want her know. t had to be really bad. He never kept any thing from her. He couldn't even keep a surprise from her.
"We have to this isn't somethng we can keep from her. She wll notice the changes and put two and two together. You know how smart she is. Even if you wanted to keep ths from her it would never work out. I know you can never keep a secret especcially from her you would die from not tellng her" she heard her mother say from the other side of the door tht she was leaning agianst to hear more of the conversation that was going on between her mother and best friend. She sat back down on the uncomfortable chair in the doctor's office waitng for them to come back into the room. They had eventually had come back into the room the expression on his face was definitely not a happy one. The only emotion she could read on his face was that he was very sad.
"Tell me what the doctor's said I can handle it I'm a big girl now you don't have to always protect me I can handle the truth." She said. You could here the anger and sadness in her voice. Angry from not knowing what they are talking are talking about. Sadness from him not wanting to tell her what is wrong with her. She saw her mother give him an nod to tell her what was wrong with her even though it was going to kll him inside.
"Your very sick" he started to say." I really don't want to be the one to tell you but if I don't I will regret it later on in lfe. Aly you have luekemia." The only thought ruinng through her had was I'm gong to die.
When she came back from her memory she could feel their eyes on her. She knew why too, she was cryng. The three boys knew exactly what she had been thinking about. They had all been thinking the same things. All because that was the last time Danger and annoyed her so much to an extent that he had never treated her like that for years. It was like he regreted it and he did. He regreted it because that was the last time she ever gotten mad at him. When she found out about the cancer Danger and her were never the same. They barely talked and she was never the happy energetic person she once was. She was always too weak to come out and play with them. That was the reason why he had changed when he became famous. He turned into the jerky popstar because he didn't have his best frend to stick with hm through the thick and thin. She was the one lying in a hospital bed for years. He was the one living his dream, when she couldn't even chase hers.
