"Wanna be best friends?"

Today was my fifth day in the hospital. In two days I'm going to start chemo. Doctor Anderson says that I have nothing to be afraid of. That everything should be alright. But I was scared as well as my family. Mom was staying with me all the time, and in one hand I was grateful for it because I didn't want to be alone. But on the other I was feeling awful when I saw her dull, sad, red from crying eyes. Of course she wasn't crying in front of me, no. she did that when I was sleeping. And no matter how much makeup she put on her face every day, her eyes were telling me that she was crying.

Today was my first day of 'therapy session' in the hospital. I was going to sit in a circle with bunch of kids listening how terrible we're feeling.

Slowly I made my way to the therapy room. Inside I spotted a few kids, two girls, and three boys. They couldn't be much younger than me, except for a boy who looked just like my little brother Max.

"Oh Alexander, it's good that you joined us" a black haired woman said, pointing a chair next to a girl in red hoodie. I took the place and the session began "So, some of you are new here, so why won't we introduce ourselves, ok? My name is Alice Scott"

"Ellie Baker" said the girl next to me. I took a better look on her. She had red hoodie on, black skinny jeans, her nails painted with black polish. Her eyes were emerald, so beautiful. And god if I didn't like guys I could ask her out. She had hood on her head.

"Alec Lightwood" she was eying me, and she smiled to me. I returned the gesture.

The session was going and going, and at some point I stopped listening to Alice and talked to Ellie, as she began the conversation.

"Nice shirt" she said looking at my Guns'n'Roses shirt. "I like them too"

"For real?" she nodded "I have a few albums here. If you want we can listen them later"

"Yeah."

Later me and Ellie were sitting on a hospital bed in the room that I was currently staying. We were listening to 'Welcome to the Jungle' and we started to sing along. It was strange how fast we were getting along.

"So how long you're here?" I asked looking into her green eyes.

"Two months" her voice wasn't dull nor sad like the rest of kids in here. And that impressed me. "I had already two chemo. You?"

"Five days. I'm starting chemo in two days"

"Man you're gonna throw up a lot" she mused laughing silently "Believe me"

"Yeah, doctor Anderson told me that it can be aside effect of taking chemo"

"And she was right." Ellie laid down on my bed and she pulled me down as well. "So…have any boyfriend?"

"What?!" the surprising and shock was heard in my voice "What?!"

"Oh please…I saw that you were checking out that nurse David. He's hot and all but Alice is his girlfriend." I was feeling hot on my face so I must blushing "Don't worry honey-bee your secret safe with me"

"Honey-bee?" she winked at me

"It's suits you" I couldn't help but roll my eyes on this "So…any boyfriend?"

"No. Even my parents doesn't know yet. But right now I think I'm gonna tell them. I mean what I have to lose?"

"You're right. You shouldn't be hiding"

"Take off your hood" I said one day, when we were listening to music in my room once again. "I wanna see it"

With a hesitation Ellie did it. and I saw her without her protection. She lowered her hairless head down, avoiding my look. Placing my hand under her chin I raised her head and look into her emerald eyes.

"You look beautiful" a small, shy smile played on fourteen years old girl's face. It was true, even without her strawberry blonde hair that I saw on some picture she looked so beautiful. Like a princess.

"I did it to keep control on my life, but I wear the hood on because of my parents and I didn't want to see her hurt more when they start to fall out." She told me. "Mom was sad when I did it. but it helped me, helped me agree with that I'm sick"

In the next day, before my parents came I asked David for a help.

"You sure kiddo?"

"Yeah. Do it"

When my mom and dad saw me with shaved head, tears shined in their eyes.

"I had to do it. To keep control on my life" I repeated Ellie's words that burned inside my mind.

It was crazy that in a short time she became my friend. Normally I had issues with trusting people. And yet, with her it came so naturally. We shared every secret with each other's. if you'd look at us you'd see two sick kids. But we were more. And for the first time I was glad that I was sick, because I found her. I found my best friend. And I wouldn't change her for anything.
