I dropped the phone and started to run out of my room, down the stairs, and almost out the door when Bullfrog and CeCe stopped me.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa, baby boy, what's the matter?" she said, worried. Probably because I was crying so hard.
"C-Clare. S-s-sh-sh-she..." I tried to say, but I couldn't because it was getting harder to breathe.
"Eli, you need to calm down. You're going to make yourself sick. Breathe and tell us what the heck is wrong with you." Bullfrog said.
I did what he said and started to calm down a little bit. My parents guided me to the sofa and sat me down and sat down themselves on either side of me.
"Now, what is wrong, Eli?" my mom asked.
"Well, you know how Clare has been sick for the past couple of weeks," I asked. They both nodded, concerned looks on their faces, "I finally got her to go to the doctor to see what was wrong with her. And she just told me a few minutes ago."
"Okay, so what's wrong with her? Is she pregnant or something?" Bullfrog asked.
"No, she's not pregnant. I wish she was, though. Pregnancy would be a blessing compared to this." I replied.
"Then, what's wrong with her, Eli?" my mom said with a very worried and concerned look on her face, matching my dad's.
I swallowed hard, trying to keep the overwhelming amount of tears from spilling over, "Clare... she has cancer."
"Oh Eli... Oh my goodness, Eli. This is terrible. Oh my poor baby girl. How bad is it?" Cece asked.
"I don't know. I was about to go to her house and see her." I said.
"OH! We're so sorry from keeping you longer, baby boy. Go on and go to Clare's house. Spend the night if you need to. And remember that we are always here if you or Clare need anything or if she wants to spend the night. We are always here for both of you." she said as she handed me my phone and keys to Morty.
"Thanks Mom, you are the absolute best!" I said as I raced out the door and got in Morty.
As I raced down the road, I scrolled through the contacts in my phone and hit Adam's name.
"Hello? Adam here." he said, as the phone picked up.
"It's Eli. Clare finally went to the doctor today and brought back some bad news." I told him.
"What? What is it?" a worried Adam asked.
"She's got cancer, Adam." I said, my voice sounding defeated.
"Ah man... This fricking blows. What can Fiona and I do to help?" he said concerned.
"Nothing right now. I'm going to her house. See ya tomorrow hopefully." I said.
"Okay, man. Call me for anything, got it?"
"Got it. Thanks, bye."
I got to Clare's house, parked, and ran up to the front door and knocked.
"Hello Elijah, what are you doing here?" Clare's mom asked, seeming a little annoyed by me. We had never really hit it off.
"Hello Ms. Edwards. I just found out about Clare and I was wondering if I could go up to her room and talk to her..." I said politely.
"I'm sorry Elijah, but I'm afraid I cannot let you see Clare right now..."
