"Hi…" Rachael said as she peered up at the large figure, "Jason?"

"How are you?"

"Good. You?…wait…Why are you here though?"

"They gave my mom 4 weeks."

"Oh my gosh…really? I'm so sorry Jason."

"Thanks," Jason looked around the room and saw Jamie enter the hospital and walk over to Rachael.

"Hey," Jamie said as she walked past them and into her father's room.

"Who is that?" Jason asked Rachael.

"That…well, THAT is my sister." Jason looked shocked.

"Your SISTER?" he asked, "I didn't know you had a sister!"

"Neither did I," Rachael let out a small giggle. "Hey," she asked, "Do you think it would be okay if I went in and said 'Hi' to your mom?"

"Sure, under one condition," Jason told her, "get me your sisters phone number."

Rachael smiled at him and walked away. "Ill see what I can do Jas."

Rachael walked into the older woman's room and sat in a small chair by the window. It was a nice day and she didn't exactly know what to say. Her family had always been good friends with these people so there was no way she was going to tell her dad that she was dying. He would be devastated she knew. She couldn't go through with it.

"Hi," Rachael whispered to the happy woman in the bed.

"Hi."

"How are you Mrs. Jaek?"

"Good, you Rachael?"

"I'm pretty good. I saw Jason out there."

"Yeah, he's such a good boy"

"Yeah, he really is…"

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

They had talked and talked for hours and eventually Rachael had to leave so she said goodbye to Mrs. Jaek and walked out of the room. She went to the parking lot, got in her car, and drove home. Jamie was living with her since she had no where else to go now that she had come out this far. Even though Jamie had been taking this whole time very easily Rachael knew that somewhere she MUST have been feeling bad and that she probably would need her somewhere down the line.

Now, Rachael was sitting on the couch, relaxing, with a wet towel on her head when Jamie walked into the room.

"You wouldn't BELIEVE what just happened!" Jamie said with a huge smile on and a light that Rachael had never seen before, at least not from Jamie…
