Wow, you guys are awesome! I expected 3 reviews, around 11 in total, but 16! Thanks! The whole cancer idea popped in my head, and I just had to write about it. You like, or you like? Enjoy Chapter 8 of The Rest Of Our Lives (I was about to write down New Year, New Chapter...lol) Enjoy! :P -NCMS

Julia's POV

Every guest stared at Julia in amazement. Then, Adam gulped and looked over at me. "Really?" Alli finally asked. "Yep." I said, sitting on the couch. "Dad's one of the newest lung cancer patients. Lung cancer." I then added, looking over at Dave, who stared at me. Dad stared at Mom, and she had that Mommy support face.

A bunch of people talked about it, and then they invited their friends over from high school. I watched Dad talk to some people, and leaned onto the drink station, bored. "So Goldsworthy's Dad has lung cancer?" Hunter's familiar voice said, I turned around, and hugged him. "Hunter! What are you doing here?" I asked. "Easy. Hunting for Julia Goldsworthy because I'm a Hunter." Hunter replied, and I laughed.

I looked over at Dad again, and they started laughing. Dad had a mad/sad face I couldn't determine, and stormed out the door. I left Hunter's clutches, and went after him.

Dad sat on inside Morty Jr., crying. I've never seen my Dad cry, and it hurt. He was in pain, and so was his lungs. I open Morty's passenger door, and hopped in, adjusting myself. Dad's face was covered by his hands, and I could hear the sobs coming from him.

"Daddy?" I whispered, calling him Daddy instead of Dad. Dad looked up, and sighed. "Hey Jules." He said, whimpering. He looked so weak, fragile. I can't stand to see my Dad like this. "Are you ok?" I asked. "Yes." He lied, and I detected it. "No…no you're not. Come on Daddy, what's wrong?" I asked. "This whole freaking cancer stuff. I've never imagined getting diagnosed with cancer." He said.

"Well you didn't imagine having me? Well, I suppose you imagined having a baby girl but not me in specific." I said. "Your right. Come on. Jake's inviting us to his cabin and party." Dad replied, pointing towards the cars leaving. Mom and Zac came, and we drove to the cabin, with Hunter of course.

At The Cabin, Julia's POV

Hunter and I looked around the cabin, in amazement that this is my uncle's cabin. "Wow." Hunter said, stunned. "This is a great place to ask my best friend out." Hunter added. "Ask out?" I asked, and Hunter had that huge stupid smirk on his face again. I love it. I love him. "Julia, would you like to dance?" he said. "To a hip-hip song? Very classic Hunter." I replied. "Hey! I'm not classic." Hunter defended, We danced and had a great time, with my new boyfriend!

Eli's POV

I pushed my way through the crowds angry again. I hate this. Owen, Drew, KC, and Dave made fun of me and played around with my fate. I hate this! I hate them! Then, I ran into a girl. I looked at her, she had black curly hair, and was attractive, but not as much as Clare! "Oh hey! Eli right? I'm Bianca. Bianca DeSousa." She greeted, and I looked at the 12 pack of beers. "You want it?" she asked. "Really?" I said. "Yep sure. Enjoy!" she cheered, as she handed me the beer and took off.

There was a huge rush forming inside of me, and I opened a bottle. I drank it, and it felt amazing. I drank the rest, and yelled, "SCREW CANCER!" as I reached for another one. Clare heard me, and ran towards me. "Eli? Is that beer?" she asked. "Yesiree." I said. "Eli, that's not good for your health. Especially now that you have cancer!" Clare yelled. "I know. Clare, I feel broken." I replied. "And that means you can get drunk?" she asked. "You know what, my phone's ringing so I'm going to go answer it, and you can think to yourself. Clare walked off as I followed her. I gave in near the food.

I stormed out of the cabin, kicking and screaming ripping and breaking anything in my path. I'm a tornado. I kill. But I'm going to die. I'm a fading tornado. Who's about to die. Why talk about my future? All my future is heading towards my death. I looked down, and I saw blood on my wrist. I screamed and writhed in pain as no one paid attention.

Julia's POV

Uncle Jake let Mom, Dad, Zac and I sleep over, and I laid down on the bed. I stared up at the ceiling and sighed and fell asleep.

I woke up and I was in my room. Weird. I walked downstairs, looking at an older Mom and Zac. Mom looked over at me and started crying. "What's wrong?" I asked. "You remind me so much of your father. I miss him since, he died." Mom cried. He died! I started to freak out and started screaming.

My eyes opened to find Dad and Jake with baseball bats, their eyes wide and alert. "Julia! Are you ok?" Dad asked. "Wah?" I asked. "You started screaming." Jake said. "Oh. Sorry." I said, as they left.

"Nick. I need you. if only I could talk to you. Just twin one on one talk." I said, to see a 12 year old boy, looking similar to Mom and Dad, smirking towards me. I thought it was Hunter at first, and I said, "Nicholas!" I cheered, hugging the boy.

He hugged me back. "It's Nick to you Julia!" he said, as I cheered. "What are you doing here...you're…" I said, but couldn't finish. "I'm dead. Duh! I'm here because my sister is in the time of need." Nick replied. "Well yeah. I did. I need you." I whispered. "Jules…I'll always be with you. You're my twin sister. I love you. I'm with you, always. Watching you." Nick said, and I hugged him. "Stalker!" I teased, and we laughed.

"Ok, let's get to the real reason why I'm here. Dad has lung cancer." Nick said, getting serious. "I know. I feel like everyone I care about is leaving me." I replied. "What about Zac?" he asked. "He's there. I wish you were here." I argued. "I am with you!" Nick defended. "Ugh. It feels like being stabbed in the throat." I then replied. "Been there, done that. You don't wanna go there, it hurts in so many ways!" Nick said.

"Oh yeah…" I said, nodding. "Listen Julia. I love you. No matter what happens…I'll be with you." Nick said, kissed me, and I watched my twin fade away.

I sat up on my bed, and for the first time that night, I actually smiled.

Aw, I think this is the shortest chapter of the story. Next chapter will be longer, promise. ;P So, please review! PS: Have I ever told you guys how great you are?
