Leo:

He heard the commotion before he saw the person. April's family was here. He assumed the lady that was frantic with worry in her voice was her mom. She sounded so pained that he wanted to just go over there and give her good news. He noticed that she was trying to get someone's attention but to no avail. Brenna looked like she was looking for someone but he couldn't tell. When he looked up, she was starring right at him. Immediately she came over and sat by me and held my hand to comfort me. I know how it looks to other people, but I don't care right now. I needed to feel a part of April and her sister was the closest thing right now. She was one of the few who knew about our relationship.

….

Sarah:

She had noticed Brenna seeking someone but she didn't have an idea who. As far as she knew, there was no one in her that looked remotely familiar to her. Following her movements, she watched as her daughter sat down next to a man and grabbed his hand. I was shocked and disappointed inside that she didn't share the news that she was seeing an older man. She would get to the bottom of it as soon as she got answers. Unfortunately the person who held the cards was George.

….

Leo/Brenna:

"Thank you for calling me Leo."

"Of course Brenna. She is your sister and she needs you."

"Have you heard anything new since you called me?"

"No. Your Uncle George told me that if there was anything he would come out and tell me."

"It scares me Leo that I could possibly lose her. She's the only sister I have and she's been there for me many times. I couldn't imagine the worst."

"Then don't Brenna. April will be okay. She just had a minor setback and before you know it, she'll be smiling at us and telling us that we had nothing to worry about."

"Leo, I've never seen my sister this happy. Thank you for putting that smile on her face and caring."

"I love her. She's the best thing in the world to me and I'm not giving up."

"Does she know how you feel?"

"Yes. April told me that she loves me too."

"Leo, can I ask you where you found her like that?"

"April left a message on my cell phone that she needed my help. I happened to be at the gym and when I got to my car I listened to my voicemail. We had plans and I was going to pick her up from work. After hearing her voice, I immediately went over there and frantically looked for her. It took a while and I found her lying down."

"It sounds like you got to her in time."

"I hope so. I'd be some kind of crappy boyfriend if I didn't."

"You can't beat yourself over this Leo. April wouldn't want you too."

"I just can't help that somehow I didn't do enough."

"Listen to me. This isn't your fault. You can't predict when she has her spells. "

"I know. I feel so helpless just sitting around and waiting."

"Why don't you go home and get cleaned up? I promise you as soon as I hear anything I'll call you."

"I don't have the heart too at the moment. I just want to make sure she is okay."

"Okay. Well maybe we can get a bite to eat or something. You need to keep up your energy."

"Sure. I can get us something to eat. Brenna, thanks."

"You're welcome."

….

Sarah/Brenna:

She had noticed the young man that was with Brenna had left. This was the perfect opportunity to find out who he was and what the nature of their relationship was. Sarah walked on over to where Brenna was sitting at and sat in the seat previously occupied by the young man.

"Hey Brenna, how are you doing?"

"Mom, I'm good. I'm just waiting for Leo to come back. He's bringing back some food for us."

"Oh. I noticed that you guys seemed close."

"Wait, you think Leo and I are a couple? "

"I saw you holding his hand and talking to him. I just assumed that you were."

"No. Leo and I are definitely not a couple. He is April's boyfriend."

"April's boyfriend? I didn't know she had one."

"It's pretty new and they didn't want the whole world to know just yet."

"Leo's idea?"

"No. April's idea. I guess she wanted to talk to her ex-boyfriend Dominic before she came out exclusively."

"Oh. I guess that makes sense."

"Trust me mom, Leo is a keeper. He's been nothing but sweet, caring and thoughtful to her. "

"That's good."

"Mom, April loves Leo and he loves her."

"Really? Isn't that too soon to declare their love for one another?"

"April's really happy mom and if you could see the sparkle in her eye, you can see how much Leo means to her."

"I guess this will be the perfect opportunity to get to know Leo."

"Don't be too hard on him mom."

"I promise to be gentle on him."

Uncle George/Brenna/Sarah:

Sarah and Brenna were talking when he spotted the both of them. He was looking for Leo but didn't see him anywhere. Brenna spotted her Uncle first and decided to walk on over to him but he held up his hand to stop her. Instead, he walked on over to her.

"Brenna, Sarah. I see that Leo got a hold of you."

"Yes he did. Leo went to get us something to eat at the cafeteria."

"Okay. Well I wanted to give you an update on April's condition. Her CT scan is looking good. There isn't any significant damage to her. She's just really sick at the moment. She has a fever that we are slowly working on to bring down her temperature. April does have a broken arm too."

"Thank goodness. How soon can we see her George?"

"It'll be a little while Sarah. I want her fever to get down and then I need to deal with her Leukemia. I need to make sure she isn't puking up any more blood."

"Oh gosh. It's worse than I thought. I told her she needed to cut back on her work."

"Mom, calm down. April loves what she does and it keeps her mind off of it."

"Sarah, how long have you known?"

"It hasn't been long. She told us maybe 2 weeks ago."

"Brenna?"

"I've known longer than that. I knew she had it for about a month. She swore me to secrecy."

"Brenna, how could you?"

"Leo knows about her cancer too. He's the first person she met in her cancer group Uncle George."

"Yeah I know. He came in her carrying your sister crying that his girlfriend needed help."

"I'll let Leo know Uncle George. He blames himself right now."

"Why? He didn't do anything wrong. If it wasn't for him, she might not have gotten here in time."

"Brenna, don't let Leo take the fall for it. I can see how much that boy loves your sister."

"I know he does."

Leo comes back with food for everyone and notices that Brenna, April's mom and her Uncle were talking. They all turned towards him and they all had a blank look on their face. He had no idea what to think, but whatever it was, he was going to prepare himself for the news, good or bad.
