Chapter 567
"I'm so sorry, Mr Fletcher, but the scan shows you have cancer"
Fletch stared at the doctor, trying to process what he was telling him. Fletch had been having headaches and dizzy spells for weeks now, the first time he'd passed out was in Jac's office, he'd brushed it off as staying at work long hours, then sorting the kids out when he got home. The second time he'd passed out was in his own office. Then came the intense headaches. Now here he was, being told he had cancer. What would happen to the kids if he died? His ex wife was also dead as was Raf. Fletch had always said that if neither him or Natalie weren't around that the kids would go to Raf, but that wasn't possible.
"Thanks for letting me know," he said, walking out of the doctors office. He headed home then and sat on the couch, the house was empty as the you g kids were with the childminder and Evie, his eldest was in an after school club.
Tears stinging his eyes, Fletch picked up his phone from the coffee table and scrolled through it.
The receiver of Fletch text message, eyes widened as they read his words: they simply read "I need you."
They had packed a few things and explained they needed to see an old mate.
When Fletch opened his front door to his visitor, he had looked like he had aged overnight: his hair was sticking up. He had a dressing gown on. His visotor stepped in to the house and hugged him, but he felt frail.
It had been ages since Fletch had contacted Tess, since she had ended their affair and aborted their unborn child, saying she was too old to be a mum.
"What's going on, Fletch?" Tess asked, once they were both sat on the couch, Tess had made them both a coffee.
With his head resting on his former lovers chest, Fletch said. "I've got cancer, Tess"
Tess's eyes filled with tears. "Oh, Fletch"
Sorry, its really short, it was just to set the scene, really. I will continue to write this if people wish.
