Peter's POV

I walked around the park with Cindy trailing at my side.

"How long?" I asked.

"He's got until christmas, adleast thats what the consultants said this morning"

"When did he find out?" I said, sitting down on the park bench.

"Two months ago" She said, sitting down beside me with a huge sigh. "He never told anyone, Pete"

"When did you find out?"

She looked away ashamed. "This morning"


Lauren's POV

I've never seen a man cry as bad as Pete did, when he came through the door at half 6.

His head in my lap, I tried calming him and stroking his hair.

"He's got until christmas" He sobbed.

"Yeah but you don't know that, he might just make it to January" I said.


Forest's POV

I sat on the swing, with Cindy next to me. We were getting along better, than we were 2 hours ago.

"So he dumped you, just outta the blue" She said.

I nodded sadly.

"Forest?" I looked up, Ben stood there.

"What do want?" I said.

"Do you want me to go, I'll just be in the Chippy. Luce wants me to earn some money" Cindy said, getting up as I nodded.

"Let me explain" He pleaded.

I looked through him.

"You have 5 mintues and then I have to get back"


Ben's POV

"I'm Gay, Forest"

Her green eyes widened.

"Are you serious?" She said, in shock.

I nodded.

"I saw this coming" She admitted, placing her hand on the top of mine.

"Are we still friends?" I asked.

"Friends? More like best friends"

She kissed me on the cheek, before leaving with Cindy on her arm.
