Mckenily POV

The Lynch family is going to be here in twenty, So I decide to get my lazy but off the computer, and head down stairs. I seriously have been sitting on the computer talking to my friend how I am neighbors with four sexy boys, and this amazing girl. To say I am not a fan is a lie, because In all honesty I love them. There truly inspiring.

I head downstairs go into the kitchen where I figured my parents would be, but they weren't. Instead I found my brother, sitting at the kitchen table, sleeping.

"Joseph, What are you doing?"

I watch, as Joseph wakes slowly. He rubs his eyes, then gleams at me.

"I fell asleep I guess. Where is Mom and Dad?"

Thats when I hear it, A crash coming from the garage. I go through the kitchen and open the garage door. I look in and find both my parents attempting to lift up the campfire grill.

"Do you guys need help, because I could get Joseph in here."

" That would be wonderful Mckenily. Could you get the snacks from the walmart bags ready, everything should be in there, just bring them to the deck out back when you are done." My mom Says.

"Alright." I say

I go back into the kitchen and tell Joe to go help our mother and father out. He quickly gets up,stretches, and leaves.

I go over to the walmart bags which are sitting on the counter and lay out all the snacks.

S'mores Ingredient,. Doritos, Twizzlers, Sour patch kids, and my favorite Twixs bars. I unwrap all the food and lay it on some decorative plates. After I have all the food on plates, I call down my siblings to come and help me bring all the food out to the back.

Ross POV

I get back to my house ten before eight, ten minutes before have to go to the neighbors house. Today I spent more time with Laura then I thought, which is alright. It was fun, we decided that we were going to surf, another thing that I had not done for five months until this afternoon. Being back in california feels amazing, not that I don't like traveling, just I love my home. Although i miss being on tour, I miss the fans and meeting them. I miss performing. I miss the whole damn gerue, but either way I am always going to miss something, if it is being on tour or being at home.

I go into my house and find all my sibling and my parents in the living room. I join them.

"Hey hunn." My mom says.

I smile at her and let her continue what she was saying. She explained to us to be on are best behavior, even though Riker is twenty one my mother still say it like we are still twelve years old.

Then my mother talks about the lunch she had with them.

"So you guys all know the obviously have children, one being Mckenily. Mckenily is fifteen, almost sixteen and she has a brain cancer called neuroblastoma, which is brain tumors. Well her mom talked about how she is currently becoming less responsive to her treatments and unfortunately is not going to get better. she is dying and only has around two months to live."

That what my mom just told me is really shocking, looking at her you would not think that she is dying. she in all honestly looks strong, and for some reason even though I don't even really know her, and will probably never will, this hits me of us kind of have this uneasiness as we leave for their house, this sad cloud hanging above us.

Mckenley POV

After I got all the snacks outside, I go run back upstairs and throw some sandals on. I don't know what to expect tonight. I've never really hung out with boys, well besides my brothers. I have never really even had a boyfriend, unless you count the time in second grade when got dared to ask out the most popular boy in the grade. I am actually nervous about meeting them, I mean they are kind of famous, why would they want to hang with someone like me? I bet there parents forced them to go.

I head downstairs just in time because I hear a knock at the door. Without even thinking I answer the door, And there enough was Stormie, Mark, Riker,Rydel,Rocky, Ross, and Ryland.

"Hi Guys! My Mom and Dad are in the back, you can come in and we can go out the back" I say

they follow me as I go through the living room and out to the back deck. Everytime I walk outside the breeze of the ocean catches me off guard, It is so unbelievable. I have wanted to live in California since I was really little, and now I still can't really believe I am here

As we get outside my mom comes to greet Stormie and Mark, and my dad continues to try and attempt to start the campfire.

"Hello guys, we are really happy you came!" My mom says

" Well we really want to get to know you all." Mark says

Joseph and Tony come out from the house and go over by where dad is.

"Hey honeybunch can you guys get some chairs to go around the campfire, Joe?" My mom asks Joseph.

"Yep, I sure will." He says smiling

Tony goes over by Rocky and Riker who are over by the edge of the deck and I can overhear the conversation.

"Honeybunch?" Rocky asks, giggling.

"Yeah, my mom has embarrassing nicknames for all of us, and she really does not care who she says them in front." Tony says sitting at the edge of the deck.

Well of course my brother would be the first to make friends, he always is.

Joe, after setting the tables goes over and starts talking to Ryland and something he says makes Ryland laugh.

I see AbiGail and Jada are over talking with Rydel so really the only one who is not really talking is Ross. I go over to the bench where he is sitting, and take a seat next to him.

"Hey"

"Hi Mckenley, thanks for doing this, really." Ross says smiling

"Well I hope you enjoy this. So you said you got back from your tour, how was it?" I ask curiously

"Well it was great, We have such a incredible fan base, well I mean there like my family. The shows we played were great. I heard you sing too, right?"

Ross is so open and carefree, he is just so friendly it's almost ridiculous he is talking to me like he has known me for years.

"I do, a little, but I am not nearly as good as you, I mean you are incredible, your band is really good."

" Well then you have heard us play, but I haven't heard you, so?"

"You want me to play?" I ask

"I Do, and your gonna." He says smiling

"Come here."

I take his hand and lead him into my house. Still holding his hand, I go through the kitchen and to the left where the stairs are,I go up the stair and all the way to the back of the long narrow hallway. I open the door to the band room and let go of his hand. As I walk in, a look back and see him leaning against the door, his eyes searching the room.

"Wow this studio is like huge, especially compared to ours, And I can't believe you have a recording booth in your house! Thats ridiculous."

" I know my Dad goes overboard on the gifts a lot, this one was a moving to California one." I say smiling.

He laughs. then he walks over to something that catches his eye. A guitar.

"You have a Gibson Hummingbird Acoustic-Electric Guitar?" He says picking the guitar up.

" Yeah, my dad got it for me for my fourteenth birthday."

"Wow, thats really cool. I wanna hear you play a song on this!" He says handing me the guitar.

"Ok, you got a song in mind." I ask

"You pick." He says smiling, looking so extremely handsome."

"Hmm, have you heard of the song clouds by Zach Sobiech?"

"Yeah, I heard it on the radio once, sing it!" He says taking a seat at the computer chair.

Ross's POV

Well I fell down, down, down

Into this dark and lonely hole

There was no one there to care about me anymore

And I needed a way to climb and grab a hold of the edge

You were sitting there holding a rope

And we'll go up, up, up

But I'll fly a little higher

We'll go up in the clouds because the view is a little nicer

Up here my dear

It won't be long now, it won't be long now

When I get back on land

Well I'll never get my chance

Be ready to live and it'll be ripped right out of my hands

Maybe someday we'll take a little ride

We'll go up, up, up and everything will be just fine

And we'll go up, up,

But I'll fly a little higher.

We'll go up in the clouds because the view is a little nicer

Up here my dear

It won't be long now, it won't be long now

If only I had a little bit more time

If only I had a little bit more time with you

We could go up, up, up

And take that little ride

And sit there holding hands

And everything would be just right

And maybe someday I'll see you again

We'll float up in the clouds and we'll never see the end

And we'll go up, up, up

But I'll fly a little higher

We'll go up in the clouds because the view is a little nicer

Up here my dear

It won't be long now, ït won't be long now

She sang just as beautiful as herself, she has such a great rhythm and the song she picked practically brought myself to tears. She just opened up to me and sang, You could see such a passion in her singing, a true ability too.

"That, WOW, that was really really great, and I love the song you picked to do."

"Thats my favorite song. The guy who recorded had cancer and he did that song weeks after he found out that he was going to die, and so he recorded to honor his family. Unfortunately he died on may twenty of this year. But what was cool, since he was from Minnesota is that I got to meet him." She says, with a sad look on her face, almost breaking into tears.

You can almost see the pain in her face, but I don't think it was about the song. I think it was about her family and how she is going to leave them behind. I go over to her where she is, still holding the guitar. I take the guitiar off and place it on the stand and gives her a hug.

"It was really great." I say one more time.

"Thanks, I just wish that sometimes I could do the same thing, I want to thank my family for all they have done for me and that I will be okay wherever I will go next; like after I die."

"Well who says you can't. You have the talent, and the willpower to do it."

"Yeah and only a couple months to live." She says bitterly.

" But did that stop zach? No and why should it stop you?"

"I am just a child I can't like book a venue or anything."She says frownng.

"I guess you're right, but that was still a great cover. Do you write any songs of your own?"

"Yeah, and maybe you can hear them later, because right now we should get back to the bonfire." she says leaving.

I follow her back outside and onto the everyone was around the campfire except Mckenily and me. We quickly join, and start to enjoy it.

I can already see friendships building Rydel will hang out with AbiGail and Jada, Tony with Riker and Rocky, Joesph with Ryland. and Mckenily and I.

Mckenily and I need to hang again, she is so fun and incredible.

So after the bonfire I decided to hang out with her a little more, we went down to the beach and hung out. We were sitting on the sand asking questions about each other, but there was something I really wanted to ask her, so I did.

"Is there a way they can cure you cancer? I am sorry if it-" She cuts me off.

"Its the fact that I have not responded to treatment very well, we have tried all the treatment and none have been used to help. The only treatment I have not had is stem and bone marrow transplant. I just don't know If it would be a good thing to do."

I see.

"Is it my turn to ask a question now?"

"ask Away. Anything."

"Well do you have a girlfriend?"

"Yeah, my cast mate Laura Marano, but you can't tell anyone we have not released it to the press yet. how about you?"

"No, sadly I am single."

We continue to talk for another two hours, it's almost as if we could not stop. We are just so alike in so many ways and I really just want to hang with her, something about her draws me in, I wonder what?
