Chapter 6

When Ray reached the hospital,he saw his father waiting for him as he promised he would.

"Dad?" He called out to him.

" let's go up."

"Dad what's wrong with mum?Is she going to-" He was cut off by his dad.

"I'm not so sure yet son ok the doctor says he'll let us know come on we're here." Mr Barnett told his son.

"Hi I'm Dr.Atkins.You must be Claire Barnett's son,Raymond is it?" He asked him.

"Yes.I am." Ray replied.

"How old are you young man?"

"I'm fifteen.Doctor my mum's gonna be fine right?" He asked anxiously.

"At the moment she is.but..." He stopped for a moment.

"But what?" Ray asked him.

"Your mother didn't go for a chekup for quite a while after her operation to remove a tumour she had in the colon area?Are you aware of it?"

"Yes that was 3 years ago and they said she would be fine."

"Well if its not taken care of it could reoccur and it did."

"So it can be operated again right?"

"I'm afraid not you see this time it has become cancerous and is in an advanced stage."

"Doc,there is a cure right?"

"I'm afraid all we can give her right now is chemotherapy and I'm not sure if that's going to help much with the situation."

"So,what are you saying?" Ray asked although he was quite sure what the answer is going to be.

"I'm sorry to say Mr.Barnett,Ray but there's only so much that therapy can do other than that she may only havea a few months to live." He said with a pause."We want your approval to send her to the the cancer centre where she'll be taken care of until the final stage." Ray just looked at his father and for the first time in years,he shed a tear.

"You can take your time and decide until that you can go inside and see your mum she's awake." Dr.Atkins said with a smile and led the father and son into the ward.

"Raymond?"

"Mum.How areyou feeling?"

"I'm fine,son."

"Mum,I'm sorry for everything I've done I promise to be better please just say you will be here to see it happening."

"Don't worry everything is gonna be alright,you and your dad are gonna be alright." His mother told him with a sweet smile on her face.Ray just held his mother's hand and rested his head on her,tears just pouring down.

Neela was at home alone again,reminiscing about home and how much she missed her family.About all those dinners they have together as one happy family.Now its dinner time and she's sitting alone,watching tv with snacks in her hand.She just couldn't help but shed a tear wishing she was with them and they weren't having whatever problems they were having.She was still curious about what it was and why they never told her.She had never felt so lonely in her life and she couldn't help but feel like her parents were punishing her.She snapped out of the sad mode and got back to watching tv and munching on those unhealthy snacks and decided to get her favourite healthy snack,a apple.

Her phone rang and she came out of the kitchen with the apple in her mouth and took it outto answer it.

"Hello?"

"Um Hi Mindi its me."

"Raymond?"

"Yeah." He replied.How the bloody hell did he get my number?She wondered to herself.

"Your friend gave your number to me incase you were wondering,uh Kym is it?"

Did he just read my mind?

"May I help you?" She asked him.

"Yeah,I need you to let Crenshaw know I won't be in school tomorrow and Friday.I have some personal issues to attend to."

"Well why can't your loyal friends help you and why me?Is it because I'm easy to push around."

"No.Just please help me."

"Ok." Neela said being the soft hearted personthat she is even though she seems fierce at times.

"Thanks.Bye." He said and hung up. That was odd.He asked me to tell her for him.He also called Crenshaw by her actual name and not Crackshaw.Is he on drugs?He must be.Neela wondered to herself.Even though his friends and him are jerks,she found him kinda cute.

"Neela,I'm sorry ok,the guy just wanted your phone number and he was being really sweet on the phone.I couldn't say no." Kym explained herself to Neela the next day at school.

"Well for such a small matter like this he could have asked you or his gang,why me?"

"Maybe he likes you." Kym told her with a smirk.

"Shut up." Neela replied.

"Or maybe its because you are his partner for math class who taddled on him and he finds you kinda hot." Kym said and giggled.The giggle quickly changed into a groan in pain when Neela hit her arm.

Ray and his father had agreed to let his mom be transferred to the cancer centre to be nursed.Ray just wanted to make her last moments on earth precious and try to give her back as much as he can for all the things she had done for him out of love no matter how out of line he had been.There was a time he almost landed in jail and she rushed at 4 in the morning to go bring him home and the time he almost got expelled and she lied for him so he could stay on in school.The amount of guitars she bought for him with her hard earned money,everytime he broke one for fun.Not even his father would do that for him.These memories made him appreciate the mother's love he's been getting.Knowing that no one can replace his mum and except for god's no love is greater than a mother's.
