Phoebe was still crying thinking about all the important moments in her life and they all seemed to involve Kyle in some form or another. For some reason she knew that Roo felt like the amount she was crying was due to another reason and she would be right considering she was thinking back to the day Kyle had told her about the serious condition he was living with.

Flashback – 4 years ago…

Melbourne – random park

Phoebe was hanging out at the park like she always did at this time of the day. She was waiting for Kyle who for some reason was late which for him was normal but not this late and she had a feeling that something was wrong.

Hospital – Dr Thomas' office

Kyle was sat with his mum and dad in Dr Thomas' office like they always did every six months.

"So Kyle how have you been since last time I saw you?" Dr Thomas asked.

"Fine!" Kyle replied while looking at the time knowing that he was going to be late.

"Come on son I know you have to be somewhere but this is important." William Taylor said to Kyle.

"but dad what I said was try I've been fine since we were last here."

"Am I missing something?" the doctor asked as he looked at Kyle.

Louise Taylor spoke up before Kyle had a chance to say anything: "Just your usual teenage problems Doctor. See Kyle just got his first girlfriend and he is meant to be meeting her soon."

"Ahh I see, well Kyle if you answer my questions properly. I promise that I will do the check up as quick as possible as I remember what I was like when I entered my first relationship with the girl that would become my wife.

Kyle nodded his head as he was to embarrassed to speak after his mum blurted out his big news to his doctor.

"Ok then how have you been since you went home on Thursday?"

"I've been feeling a bit better now that I'm at home instead of being prodded with needles every two seconds."

Doctor Thomas continued to ask Kyle a series of questions before he check him over.

Melbourne – Random Park

1 hour later…

Phoebe was still sat waiting for Kyle when she saw him running towards her.

"What took you so long?" She asked him angrily.

"Sorry Pheebs I had an appointment." Kyle said to her.

"I doubt it! You know if you didn't want to meet me today you could have just said but no you decide that making me sit here for nearly two hours was better."

"I did want to meet you today Phoebe otherwise I would have said and I was telling you the truth I had an appointment."

"With who?"

"What?"

"Who was your appointment with?"

"My doctor." Kyle said as he sat down beside her.

"Why?" Phoebe looked at him with a worried look on her face "What's wrong with you?"

"Nothing is wrong with me!"

"Then why did you have a doctor's appointment if there's nothing wrong with you?"

"I just did!" Kyle shouted her before instantly regretting it.

"There's no need to shout at me. I'm just worried about you considering you missed school for all week."

"I explained that though and I'm sorry."

"You said you were on holiday but Noah said that he saw your parents coming out of your house during the week and I saw Callie two days ago so I know your lying."

"I was with my real dad."

"Kyle you told me your dad was only allowed to see you through supervised visits. So tell me the truth what's really going on?"

Kyle looked at his feet knowing that he had to tell her but as soon as he did she would treat him the way everyone else did as an invalid, and he didn't want his girlfriend to do the same thing.

"Kyle I'm waiting!" Phoebe said while tapping her foot on the floor.

Kyle looked up at her and sighed: "Fine I will tell but you have to promise me that you won't let I affect the way you treat me and that you won't tell anyone else what I'm about to tell you?!"

"Ok I promise now what's going on as your starting to scare me?"

"I lied about being on holiday instead I've been at the hospital since Saturday as I collapsed and couldn't breathe properly."

"Oh MY GOD! Why didn't you call or text me and I would have come and seen you?"

"Because I'm used to Pheebs and I didn't want you to see me like that."

"What do you mean your used to it and what did the doctors say about why you couldn't breathe and collapsed?"

"Because I've been dealing with this my whole life constantly ill when I was little and no one knew why until I was six then they found out the reason why and they said I was anaemic."

"Why have you been dealing with it your whole life?"

Kyle looked away again feeling like he couldn't tell her but knew she would continue to push until she found out what was going on: "Phoebe I'm suffering from something called CKD or Chronic Kidney Disease."

Phoebe looked at him speechless as she wasn't expecting him to say that.

"It basically means that I have a problem with my kidneys and that in the future I am going to need a kidney transplant but at the moment I'm on medication that I have to take every morning and night."

"Why didn't you tell me this before?" Phoebe said as she could feel a tear slip down her face.

"Because I didn't want the only person in my life who didn't know to end up treating me like everyone else, like I can't do anything for myself. But when I'm with you it's different because you didn't know and you treated me like I was everyone else just a normal person with no problems."

"Kyle I would never have treated you like that."

"But I didn't know that Pheebs and you make me laugh even if I'm not feeling well like when you sent those pictures on Tuesday."

"They were funny weren't they?" Phoebe laughed "Well Kyle I'm glad you told me because I feel like I finally understand why your foster family are the way they are."

Kyle knew what was about to happen as it always does when someone finds out: "Look Phoebe you don't have to say anything ok because I get it you want to help me and look after me if I'm not well so maybe we should call this a day as I don't want another person to treat me like that."

"Kyle I promise I won't treat you like everyone else because this doesn't change my opinion of you as to me you are still the guy I meet in the music room on his first day of school just trying to hide from everyone by playing on one of the guitars."

"You promise?"

"I promise but just so you know it is accustom in every relationship for each person to care about the other." Phoebe laughed trying to make Kyle smile "I love you Kyle Bennett."

"Ok you can worry about me a little bit and I love you too Phoebe Nicholson!" Kyle replied.

Present time…

When she thought back to that day Phoebe felt like she should tell Brax but knew that she would be breaking Kyle's trust and she also knew that Nate would see it anyway when he took a proper look at Kyle's medical file.

Suddenly the waiting room door opened….
