Chapter 5:
Sorry I haven't posted in a while. I've been busy with school and work and stuff
Ally?
H-hi Austin she said weakly
How long have you not been feeling well?
A week but I thought it was the stomach flu or something….
I still can't believe you have cancer
Well actually this isn't the first time
What do you mean?
Well it first started when I was 5then it came back once, when I was 9
Oh my god…
I never told you because it never came back so it wasn't really important
It doesn't matter what happened in the past, all that's important is now. I will stay with you no matter what
Oh hi Mrs. Dawson
Oh hi Austin.. I didn't really expect to see you here
Mom he's my boyfriend.. of course he is going to be here
Oh right sorry
After being there for a couple hours.. I decided to go
So Austin, is your mom coming to pick you up?
No… she's having problems at work
Mrs. Dawson would you mind driving me home?
Sure Austin
As we were walking out we heard that there was a 3-15 in room 12/29
That's Ally's room! Mrs. Dawson… what's a 3-15?
Her heart stopped
We have to go see if she's ok!
No let them take care of her…right now all we can do is pray
The next morning I got up at 6 am and took a bus to the hospital that was 4 ½ miles away
I'm here to see Ally Dawson
Let's see….. it saids here she got transferred to St. Jude's in Minnesota
What? Why?
For her cancer treatment
When will she be back?
Probably in about 4 months
Ok thanks
-Text message between Austin and Ally (bold is Austin)
Hey I heard you got transferred.. that sucks
I know..i woke up and I was in a helicopter being transferred
That's weird
I know
So maybe we could video chat at least 2 or 3 times a week
I'd like that…seeing you would make me feel better
Awww
-4 months later
I can't believe Ally is coming home
I know I can't believe Trish didn't help us with any of the decorations said Dez
Are you surprised?
No.. where's Trish anyway?
Guess who got a job at Phil's Pickle Pagoda? And I got her a pickle basket
Cool can it be from all of us?
No way you're on your own
All of a sudden Ally appears in the doorway.. looking much different
WELCOME HOME!
Thanks guys
Wow Ally.. you look… said Dez
I know I look terrible… I lost like 15 pounds and I have no hair
No matter what you look like I still love you
Awww Austin
Here Ally I got you a pickle basket
Really?
What do you mean?
Well you're pretty lazy
Well I got a job at Phil's pickle Pagoda… where everything on the menu is pickle based
Eww
