A/N: Thanks for the reviews! I love getting them and I was glad to see that they were all really good!
"Yuna!" Her mother Kaila cried out to her as she came running through the door. "Darling I need to talk to you it's… very important."
"Mom! I can't talk right now." Yuna answered and ran up to her room throwing herself on her bed. "I hate you Seymour!" She whispered. The phone rang so she lifelessly dragged herself up and snatched it up. "Hello?"
"Yunie?" The voice on the other end asked and Yuna quickly hung up the phone. A moment later it rang again. "I DON"T WANT TO TALK TO YOU RIGHT NOW!" She yelled into it as she picked it up.
There was silence and then a male voice came into the phone. "Oh… I'm sorry I just wanted to see if you were… uh… sorry."
Yuna felt her face turning red. "Who's this?" She asked even though she had a feeling that she already knew.
"Uh… This is Tidus you know the new guy in school. I know that we haven't really met but I saw what happened today and I wanted to see if you were all right. That Seymour guy really seems like a real jerk." He paused as if waiting to see what she would say.
"Thank you." Yuna answered softly a small smile spreading across her face. "I'm sorry but I really don't feel like talking. But you're right he is." Yuna hung up and stared at the phone. "Ok then…"
At that moment Kaila opened the door and peeked her head through it. "Yuna your father and I need to talk to you right now downstairs." She closed the door and Yuna slowly pulled herself off the bed.
When she got downstairs she was surprised to see Braska and Kaila sitting on the couch looking very serious. "What's going on?" Yuna asked sitting down in front of them feeling very worried. Oh no I hope I'm not in trouble…
"Yuna I went to the doctor today. They found out something. It turns out that I have cancer." Kaila looked down at the floor and Yuna saw a couple of tears making their way down her face.
"W-what does this mean? What's going to happen?" Yuna stared at her father waiting for his answer. Yeah she knew what cancer was but usually she had heard, about the people who had died and most of the time it sounded like they hadn't been able to afford the best treatment. "We can afford treatments for it can't we?" Yuna whispered.
"Yes. She started chemotherapy last week. We just decided to wait to tell you… I hope that you're not mad." Braska said softly.
"Wait… this isn't that serious it is? I mean you're going to get treatment and stuff right?" She turned to Braska as if begging for him to tell her that everything was fine.
Braska started to say something but Kaila stopped him. "You needn't worry about this darling." She said with a warning glance towards Braska.
Yuna nodded. "Thanks. I've had a hard day." Without saying anything more she walked up to her room and switched on the computer. She smiled when she saw the message that she had from Rikku.
Yunie, Yunie, YunieYou always get yourself into trouble you know that? Why do you keep hanging up on me? Ohhh you're probably afraid that I'm going to lecture you or ask you questions right? Ok maybe I will but still c'mon don't ignore us! You can just uh… not choose to tell us about what happened with you and…uh never mind. Please call us! Oh Lulu says that she's noticed the new guy checking you out. He's hot!
Rikku
Yuna laughed to herself as she read the email. "You guys…" She muttered and reached for the phone.
The next day at school"Why are they staring?" Yuna whispered to Lulu as they passed some of the kids standing in the hallways.
"You mean besides that fact that you're popular, your ex-boyfriend and you were fighting in the cafeteria and the new kid has it bad for you?" Lulu whispered back.
"Tidus does not have it bad for me!" Yuna answered feeling her face growing hot completely ignoring the other statements.
"Ohh you're turning red!"
"I am not!" Yuna yelled back and quickly rushed to her locker. She could hear Lulu laughing from behind her and she hurried to get her books. Yuna groaned when she noticed that she had dropped one and her arms were already full. "Oh sh-" She began but a voice interrupted her.
"Here let me help you." It was Tidus! Yuna felt her face growing red again as he put the book on the top of the stack that she was carrying. "Thanks." She muttered and rushed to class.
"Sure carry that stupid book so that the whole world can see! It's bad enough that we have that stupid class." Dona snarled from behind her.
Yuna glanced down and groaned. It was, Guys, Sex and you. "I hate our stupid Sex-ed class." She muttered and buried her head in her arms.
The moment she got out of school Yuna ran off not even bothering to wait for her friends.
"Yuna!" The voice stopped her and she turned to see Tidus running towards her. "Hey… I was wondering if maybe you'd like to y'know maybe hang out sometime?" He grinned as if he was sure that she would agree.
She hesitated. It was tempting but she just reminded herself of Seymour and then she shook her head. "Thanks but I can't. Sorry but I'm not interested in dating right now." She turned dismissing him and began to walk to her car.
Tidus yelled after her, "Hey can't we be friends then?"
Yuna turned to him positive that he was joking. She saw that he was serious so she slowly nodded. "Maybe." I don't really have any guys that want to be just friends with me…
The moment she got home she yelled, "Hey is anyone here?" She was surprised to hear no answer. "Mom?" She called but all she heard was her echo. Yuna shrugged and made her way to her room but a sound stopped her. It was… crying. Making her way to Kaila's room she looked inside and what she saw stopped her in her tracks. Kaila was sitting on her bed crying holding several clumps of her hair in her hands. The moment that she saw Yuna she gasped. "Oh Yuna… I didn't know that you were home…"
"Mom?" Yuna whispered in shock. "Why…?"
"Yuna… it's really nothing." Kaila stood up and began to push Yuna out of her room.
"What's going on? Tell me!" Yuna had more strength then Kaila so she managed to dart around her and run in the middle of the room.
"Look… It's nothing it's just a… side effect of the chemotherapy." Kaila walked away from Yuna and sat down on her bed looking as if she was exhausted.
"You didn't tell me that! This is more serious then you've made it out to be isn't it?" Yuna yelled angrily.
Kaila put her head in her hands and said so softly that Yuna could barely hear her. "I don't want you worrying. You need to live your life and not worry about me. I'm going to be fine… I'm going to beat this thing!" Kaila looked up and managed a smile.
"You think that I shouldn't care about you?" Yuna whispered and shook her head. "I'll always care about you ok?" She ran out before her mom could see her tears.
Rikku and Lulu found her face first on her bed an hour later and they took action. "You are going to the back to school party that Dona is having." Rikku commanded her.
"I hate Dona and if I had to see her pathetic face then I would feel worse." Yuna answered her voice muffled.
"Look I don't know why you're depressed. But Tidus is going to be there." Rikku grinned.
"I don't care about him! In fact he asked me out and I refused."
"WHAT?" Rikku screamed and grabbed Yuna by the arm and pulled her up. "Look I will figure out why you're so upset. But during the meantime you are going to THIS PARTY!"
Yuna repeatedly told Rikku that she didn't feel like it, but the next thing she knew she was wearing a hot pink skirt and a blue tank top. "How do you drag me into these things?" She groaned. "I don't feel like going and why are we going to Dona's party?"
"Because a lot of hot guys are going to be there." Rikku giggled and Lulu rolled her eyes.
"Rikku… you and your hot guys." Lulu muttered. "That Wakka is going to be there… I can't stand him!" She exclaimed.
"Ohh… now we know who Lulu likes!" Yuna couldn't help but comment even though her mind was on other things.
"What? I don't like him!" Lulu answered and quickly left the room heading out to the car.
"Have a good time." Kaila appeared out of nowhere and said that to Yuna softly.
"Hi Kaila! What's new?" Rikku asked absentmindedly.
When is she going to tell everyone? Yuna thought to herself and noticed that her mom was wearing a scarf tied around her head to hide the fact that she was losing her hair. "You know I don't really want to g-"
"You are going! Bye!" Rikku called as she dragged Yuna down the stairs.
Ok sorry that wasn't a very exciting chapter and the next one will be better! And if you have any ideas for this story then please tell me since I don't really know where it's going (yes it's pathetic I know.
