A/N

Hey guys. Thank you for choosing my new story to read. By the way, this is just a prologue and this is not the first chapter, so yeah, thanks again!.

-----------------

The light of the sun shines through my eyelids making me woke up. I open my eyes and my eyes adjust in the light entire this room.

Once that my vision is already clear, i roam my eyes around. I was now in a big white room that has white curtains on the windows. I was now wearing white dress. I was now on a bed good for one person. And beside me is a stand were a dextrose is hanging by. And a thin tube from the dextrose connecting in my hand.

I'm in the hospital - again. I've remember that i was talking with my classmate when suddenly my head hurts so much and i passed out.

Passing out, falling into the ground, loosing consciousness, waking up in a hospital room - those things happened to me since last, last month.

I support my elbows in my back so that i am now sitting on this hospital bed.

Suddenly, i hear the door creek revealing mom standing in the door frame.

"Cassie, my baby." Mom said as she rush towards me. She enveloped me into a hug and she's crying.

What's wrong?. Is something wrong with me?. Why is it mom and dad are both crying?. Did i do something wrong?. I - I don't understand.

Mom leaned back making me see her face and now swollen eyes from crying. Mom look at my face for about a minute like she didn't saw me for years.

What's happening?.

After starring at my face, mom cried again and burry her face in the crook of my neck. I turn my gaze at dad only to see him looking at the window and i can see from his eyes that he's suppressing his tears that threatening to fall.

But dad failed to hold back his tears and now, tears are streaming down his face. Dad turn his face at me making me see my gaze at him. Dad is looking at me but after a seconds he then, turn his back at me and i see dad's broad shoulders going up and down in the process because of crying.

Suddenly, i can now feel some tears forming in my eyes and threatening to fall but i hold it back. I can't cry now. I can't cry because there's nothing to cry too, right?.

I clenched my fist and my heart is now thumping so loud.

Dad walk towards me and mom. He hold mom in her shoulder making mom look up at dad.

"Hon, go get fresh air outside. I'll be the one to tell her." Dad said and mom just nodded in response. Mom kissed me in my forehead before she leave, leaving me and dad alone in this big white private hospital room.

Dad slowly sat beside me and caress my face. "Dad why are you and mom both crying?. Did i do something wrong, did i hurt anyone?" I said as i feel the tears in my eyes were about to fall but still, i hold it back.

From caressing my cheeks, dad enclosed my hands with his. "Baby, we need you to be strong." Dad starts as tears were now streaming down his face again.

Seeing dad and mom cry in front of me, i can feel that there's something wrong.

"Why?. I am already strong. I'm good." I said tapping my free hands in my chest were my heart is. Dad shook his head. "I know. We know that you're really really strong, baby. But sometimes even how strong the person is, there's still problems in their life that they can't handle." Dad said looking at my eyes.

"What are you saying, dad. I - I - I don't get you." I said as tears were ready to fall down my eyes.

Dad's crying became louder. I really don't get any of this!. Why the heck are they crying?!?.

"Dad please, tell me something!. I don't get anything that's happening now!." I yelled as i get frustrated in all of this. Dad still didn't talk but he's still crying.

"WHAT'S HAPPENING?!?. TELL ME!. PLEASE TELL ME!. DADDY, TELL ME WHAT'S HAPPENING!." i screamed as i bring my knees up and bury my face in my legs. Tears were now streaming down my face.

"Cassie, promise me first that you'll be strong, that you'll fight this sickness!" Dad half shouted at me as he holds me in my both arms.

"Sickness??. Dad, please, just tell me. I don't want this. I am the only one who didn't yet know the reason why you're all crying." I said to dad as i look at at him.

Dad looked at me in the eyes and a tear silently fell in his eyes.

"Honey, you have stage three brain cancer.
