Lucy and Anna got off the elevator on the 3rd floor. "I'm going to tell the receptionist you here." Lucy said. Anna nodded her head and sat down in the chairs. She thought about calling Seth for a second to tell him what was happening but decided against that, Seth, Summer, Ryan, and Marissa, were probably out somewhere forgetting about her. She figured they were saying something like "Why include Anna, she will just be a fifth wheel." She sighed. "Stop felling sorry for yourself Anna." "Its good not to feel sorry for yourself." a voice behind Anna said. Anna turned around and saw a boy who was about 12, whom she could tell was going through chemotherapy by his bald head. "What?" Anna asked. She didn't understand what the boy was talking about "It makes you feel stronger if you don't feel sorry for yourself. People do have it worse off that us." the boy said. "I'm Chase" Anna smiled a bit "Actually I wasn't even thinking about that, it didn't even cross my mind, I was just mad because My ex-boyfriend whom is also my best friend, has a new girlfriend and doesn't have time for me any more, but about the whole cancer thing, I was downstairs because me knee ached and the doctor took X-rays, and saw little holes in me knee and he thinks it's cancer. So I have to have a biopsy. I'm Anna by the way" Chase nodded his head. "Biopsy aren't that bad, your knee will be sore for a while, but that's pretty much it." "Where are your parents?" Anna asked just know realizing that the boy was by himself. "Oh my mom is in the bathroom and my dad is gone. Took off when I was little. What about your parents?" Chase asked "Ah there in Australia, there doing research on the outback" Anna told him. "Ugh, I would have hated to be by myself, you should really call your friends, let them know what's going on with you. Its a lot less scary if you have someone there for you" Chase told her as he rubbed his head, "Ha I finally feel some hair growing in. The doctors told that my cancer is gone, so no more Chemo. Just check-ups every month" he added with excitement. Anna laughed. Maybe she should call Seth and the rest of the gang, but she didn't want to be a bother to them. "Hey Chase?" she asked "Yeah Anna?" "Was it scary?" "Was what scary?" "Being sick all the time when you went through Chemo, and finding out you had cancer and they're being a possibility that you could die. Weren't you scared?" Anna asked. "Of course I was scared. The chemo making me so sick, so sick that I wanted to die. I knew I had to be strong. You know? For my mom. I'm all she has. But I knew I wasn't going to die. I knew I wouldn't give up, I wasn't going to let the cancer kill me." Chase said Anna smiled. "Wow, you're very smart, very strong. I admire you." "Anna Stern" the nurse called "That's me." Anna said getting of from the chair she was sitting. "Bye Chase. I hope I see you again sometime soon. "Bye Anna, remember you don't wanna be alone through this. Call your friends as soon as you get out of here." Chase said calling out to her "I will. I promise"
