Emma POV

"You won't lose me, mom. And you haven't lost grandpa yet either." I told her as I open my eyes. I look around and realize I wasn't in my room. "Ok, why am I in the hospital?" I asked confused. Mom walked over and sat beside on the bed.

"Em, I need to tell you something." She said looking at me tentatively.

"What is it?" I asked getting worried.

"Sweets, you need to stay calm while I tell you ok?"

"Mom, you're scaring me."

"Sweetie, the doctors ran some test, and they think that you have a tumor. They want to operate soon and remove it. It's not that big. So you should be ok, I think. The doctors going to come in soon to talk to you."

I was numb; I didn't know what to think. This morning I was fine, and now I was lying in a hospital bed with a tumor.

"Where is it?" I asked, mom hadn't told that yet and I was afraid of that the most.

"On your brain. Sweetie, have you had any bad headaches lately?"

"I had one a couple of days ago, but I thought it was just stress from the moving and the heat and stuff, I remember it made me feel a little dizzy. I had to sit for a while."

Soon the doctor came in to discuss my treatment with me a little more, and then it was just the three of us again.

"Who else is here?" I asked knowing mum would've called someone.

"Wallace, Mac and Dick are all here. They're outside. Do you want me to go get them?" mum asked.

"Not right now. I guess you told him about me." I said looking at Logan.

"Yeah he knows, sweetie. Do you want me to call Bodie?" she asked me, my mind going to my long distance boyfriend.

"Uh yeah, he was going to call me tonight, he'll freak if he can't get a hold of me. Tell him I'm ok and that I love him and will call him soon." I told her.

"I can do that. Why don't you rest? I'll go make that call." She said kissing the top of my head. She got up and left the room. Logan and I sat in an awkward silence, neither of us knowing what to say.

"So what happened to your grandpa? Your mom never said." He asked, breaking the silence.

"Ah, he was in a car accident. A truck ran a red light and hit him. The doctors say he's lucky to be alive, and that it's only a matter of time before he dies. But you know mom, she refuses to believe that, so we moved here to be closer to him. But I didn't mind moving, I mean I loved my friends and that, but I missed Uncle Wallace and Aunt Mac and Uncle Dick, I'm glad I get to see them more now." I told him.

"Where did you live before?"

"New York. Mom travels with work and stuff and sometimes I get to go with her, but she preferred to work from her studio."

"Did you go to Florence with her last year?"

"No, I had mid-terms so I had to stay home, Blake went with her, it was part work, part romantic getaway."

"Right, your mum mentioned Blake early, what happened there?"

"I'm not real sure, one day things are great, the next he's gone and we're moving. I know she won't talk about it so I won't even ask."

"That happen often? The guy just disappears?"

"Not really, mom tries to keep her dating life separate from her home life. Doesn't want me to get attached. But it really looked like Blake might be around for a while. But hey no big. Mom hasn't been real happy with him recently. I just want to see her smile again. The only time I've every seen her really happy is when she's talking about you, telling me stories about you and her and the Fab Four in high school."

"What did she tell you about me?"

"All of it, all the good things and all the fights. The bong, the headlights, the purity test. The snarking and the bitching. As well as the first kiss, the rescuing, the hiding and sneaking around. She told me a lot of things about the two of you. I just wish I could've met you sooner. Got to know you a little better. Now I may not get the chance too." I said looking down at my lap and start bunching up the blanket in my hands.

"Hey, don't talk like that, you are going to be fine, I know it, but you have to keep thinking positive. You can't give up. What will your mum do without you?"

"Ok, that was a low blow. I know she needs me, especially with grandpa, and I don't think she can handle losing another child…" I trailed off realizing what I just revealed.

"What are you talking about? Another child'?"

"Maybe you should talk to mom."

"No I think you should tell me."

"I was a twin. His name was Zach. I don't remember him; he died when we were 4 months old from SIDS. We don't talk about him, but I know she still has photos of him somewhere."

"That's what she meant when she said she couldn't lose you too."

"Probably. You can't tell I told you. She doesn't know that I know about him, Grandpa let it slip to me one day, that's the only reason I know any of this." I had tears running down my cheeks by then. Logan sat beside her and pulled her close.

"It's ok."
