Sick and Love

Disclaimer: All rights go to my best friend Shana! :)

Saturday morning came and Kara woke up feeling a little rough. Every morning she could hear noises and whispers, but not today. "Why is everything quiet this morning?"

Mum was fast asleep in her bed "Mum, why are you not getting ready for work?" asked Kara "You should be making me breakfast!"

"Grrrr!" growled mum, turning her back to Kara. As she faced the wall, Kara gets annoyed "Darling, leave me alone, I am not feeling well!"

"Mum please tell me what's wrong, it must not be that bad surely?" but Mum fell back to sleep.

As Kara walked down the creepy staircase seeing dad entering the empty hallway, she saw a bag in dad's hand. "Dad? Oh what's in that bag, is it stuff from your work or is it a present for me?"

"No, I'm sorry! Its only medication for your mum" said dad with a worried look on his face "I didn't think about getting you a present, sorry honey!"

"What, so she is really that sick? Please tell me what's wrong with her?" as Kara looks as if she is about to be in tears "Please I am begging you!"

"Darling, she got something very serious and we need to look after her no matter what!" said Dad quietly "You promise me that you will help me!"

Kara just wanted to know what is wrong with her wonderful mum. She begged Dad until she can get the last words out of him. He finally tells her the breaking news and now Kara felt her heart breaking inside her. She felt so dizzy that she thought the room was spinning - "Are you being serious! I don't want this happening to mum; cancer is the worst thing you could think of!"

"Told you it is serious and the doctor said that she only has a few days left!"

Kara never felt so destroyed, all she ever wants to do is commit suicide. Dad confronts her daughter and laid out the medicines on the table ready for lunch.

"Wow, I never felt so hurt before. I need to get along with Dad!"

Tori obviously knew because she already wrote a 'get well soon' card. "Kara, do me a favour tell Dad I am popping out to get some milk!" asked Tori "I don't want them to know I have been drinking last night!"

Tori's face was as pale as white, her eyes grew darker with bags underneath. Her hair was as greasy as oil and is faded out of colour. She looks drained and warned out "I feel like rubbish!"

Kara had no interests in what she was saying so she went along with it and let Tori out of the house"

It is about lunch time and Mum refused to join the family meal. "Well, we haven't got mum this evening so it's just me, you and Tori, well that's if Tori comes downstairs!"

"Dad, I don't think she is ever coming down!" worried Kara "I'm pretty sure she left this house to get some milk, she said!"

"What do you mean get some milk?" asked Dad "We got plenty in the fridge!"

Kara got confused "Oh, then why would she say that then?"

Dad couldn't think of a reason "Darling, what happened last night? Just because me and your mum went out doesn't mean you can't tell us!"

"Well...she scared me a lot!"

"What do you mean? You better tell me now, or you're grounded!" moaned Dad "You never tell me anything do you?"

"Your right and you wanna know why?" Kara said in a squeaky voice "Look at yourself, you and your anger moments... just grow up and wow you need help!"

"Help? Are you being serious?" Dad said in an angry voice "Do you even know where your mum and I went?"

"No I don't, because you wouldn't tell us!"

"Oh yeah? My bad" laughed Dad "Maybe I won't tell you then"

"Dad just bloody tell me" shouted Kara as if she is about to have a fit "You are the most inconsiderate person I know"

"Ha-ha. This is an inconvenience; I went to the hospital for your mum last night!"

"What?"

"Oh sugar plum, I just told you!" shouted Dad.

But Kara just ran off in tears "Why didn't you take me, I want to be there for her!"
