Miley nodded and Oliver followed her outside to the car where I heard the engine turn on. I turned to Lily again, feeling guilty about what I was about to do because she'd only fallen asleep a couple of minutes ago.

"Lily?" I whispered into her ear, hoping that was going to be enough to wake her up. "Are you awake? I need to drive Miley and Oliver to school and I don't want to leave you alone." Lily groaned, she was awake now I knew that. "Come on," I whispered again. "All we have to do is drive them to school and then go to the grocery store."

Lily turned around and swung her feet over the edge of the mattress, "How long are we going to take?" She asked, I shrugged my shoulders and she flattened out her hair before walking upstairs to her guest room where I had already unpacked for her.

"Thanks for unpacking for me," Lily said when she walked back downstairs – dressed now in her ripped jeans and an oversized purple zip up jacket. "it was really nice of you," I nodded, and helped Lily out the door and into the car where Miley and Oliver were sitting, Lily got the back with Oliver.

When I got into the front to drive, Miley looked up at me with a smile – I knew what she was thinking but Lily wasn't going to school with her today. I shook my head, and Miley shrugged her shoulders before turning her head to look out the window. It was unusually early for Oliver, so he was quiet this morning, and the car had nothing but music on during the car ride up to the school.

"Thanks dad," Miley said once she'd opened the door and gotten her backpack out. "See you later, love you!"

Oliver nodded and waved goodbye to Lily and I and both shut the door leaving us. I turned around to face Lily, who surprisingly hadn't fallen asleep during the ride.

"Grocery store next?" She asked me. I nodded, and she turned her head, like Miley had, towards the window until we got to the closest market. We both got out, and I got the cart to carry all of the food we would be buying, and we walked into the market slowly. I took out my list and looked at it, reading what Miley had written down without my knowing, and what Jackson had added, and what I'd added when the doctor told me what Lily should be eating. I headed towards the cereal isle to start, and Lily followed behind me.

"Would you like to get the ice pops?" I turned around to face Lily, she nodded and went off on her own before I started to walk down the isle again. I picked up the cheerio's, cocoa pops, and frosted flakes, adding Raisin nut bran as my own choice. When I was done with that, I walked over to the next isle, where I'd sent Lily ten minutes ago for popsicles. As I approached the isle I noticed a bunch of people at the end, huddled up in one group, but I thought nothing of it. Instead, I opened the door to the fridge and picked up Miley's favourite pops. I looked around twice trying to find Lily, but when I couldn't I walked to the end of the isle again, walking past the group that was now growing larger. I looked inside the group to see what all the commotion was about and found Lily on the floor shaking uncontrollably, a Popsicle box half way out of her left hand.

"Lily," I whispered at first. "Lily!" I ran into the group, clearing everyone away so that I could get to where she was. Everyone cleared away pretty fast after they realized how I was related to her, but then again there were a few people that had chosen to stay and see if Lily was alright. I held Lily in my arms until she had stopped shaking – though it lasted five minutes. When Lily stopped, I continued to hold her in my lap, and waited until the people who had stayed were gone. "Are you alright?" I asked Lily, I was so scared. Lily stared at me and said nothing, slowly she nodded her head and then her eyes dropped.

I carried Lily through the grocery market and still managed to wheel the chart up to the check out and get help to bring the bags to the car. Once that was all done, I placed Lily in the back of the car so that she could lie down and I drove home, dialling Lily's doctor on my mobile.

"Hello Dr. Chow speaking," Lily's doctor's heavy Chinese accent came over the phone suddenly. "How may I help you?"

"Hi this is Robbie Ray Stewart," I said hoping that he would remember who I was. "My daughter's friend Lily Truscott is a patient of yours."

"Oh," Dr. Chow said, "I remember you. Is everything okay Mr. Stewart?"

I shook my head, but then remembered that Dr. Chow could see me do so, "I think Lily had a seizure." I told him calmly. "We were in the grocery market and I told Lily to get the popsicles in the other isle, and then when I went back to get her she was shaking violently." Now I was starting to get less calm as my mind realized what happened.

"Did Lily fall and injure herself?" Dr. Chow asked, he was much calmer than I was and it made me calm too. "How long did the seizure last for?"

I thought about it, "The seizure lasted for about five minutes," I told Dr. Chow. "And I don't think Lily fell from a great distance, I wasn't there to witness it."

"Lily should be fine," Dr. Chow reassured me. "Just keep a close eye on her and lay her down when you get home. Lily will be tired from the seizure and will sleep for a sizable amount of time." I nodded and said thank you and goodbye before I hung up the phone and concentrated on the road ahead.

When we got home, I picked Lily up again – I noticed now that Lily had become considerably lightweight and fragile looking due to the cancer. I noted that I would get her to eat a proper lunch once Lily woke up, as I placed her on the couch again – I noticed now that Lily had become considerably lightweight and fragile looking due to the cancer. I noted that I would get her to eat a proper lunch once Lily woke up, as I placed her on the couch again. It was another hour before Lily woke up again; I'd had lunch ready and out of the table by that time, but Lily woke up irritable.

"You want some lunch?" I asked when I heard Lily stir. She shook her head, "Alright then I'll bring it to you."

Lily stared me down when I brought her food to the table, she seemed a little bit drowsy still but she could sure give you a look. Regardless Lily sat up and swung her legs around so that they were touching the floor; I sat down next to her.

"Thanks," Lily whispered as she picked up her fork and took on of the carrots on its prong. She twirled with out and eventually took a small bite out of it. "When do we leave for the concert hall?"

"Half an hour," I told her taking a bite out of my sandwich. "But do you think you're up to it?"

Lily nodded and sighed, sitting back into the pillow, "I'm fine." She mumbled, and brought her knees up to the couch. "I can deal with setting up equipment for one afternoon, besides – am I going to be allowed to go to Hannah's concert tonight?"

I hesitated, and shook my head, "I'm sorry Lily." Lily grumbled in response, "Eventually, just not tonight."

Lily nodded slowly and got up from the couch, taking her full plate back into the kitchen and then walking upstairs to her room before coming back down with a book in her hands. "Sometime to do," She told me when she sat down on the couch again. "Is it time to leave yet?"

I shook my head, "Soon though."

Lily was silent for another ten minutes before she spoke again, "whose staying with me tonight?" She asked curiously.

I shrugged, I hadn't thought of that before. "Jackson," I told her, getting up from the couch. "He'll probably be willing." Lily nodded, and I helped her up from the couch, taking the book from her hands and holding it in mine while we walked to the car.
