"Mom what is it?" James asked concerned
"Uhh, I have been diagnosed with stage four breast cancer" She said.
Shock is an understatement, my brain was jumbled and I couldn't understand what she was saying
"What?" Jenna asked
"I was diagnosed around 3 years ago. Couple months after the twins were born" I was fighting so hard, I tried everything" She said trying to hold back tears
"Your mother fought hard, she is so strong" Uncle Mark said
"After 3 years of fighting it didn't help much, chemo and radiation was painful and long. So I decided to stop" Aunt michelle said
"No, no you can't just stop. I'll pay for your treatment, we will find something" Jenna shouted, frustrated and I was frozen. Everything happened so fast, I didn't expect to hear this
"Honey, I have tried everything. It is time to stop and just enjoy the time I have left with you guys" Aunt michelle said. Jenna rushed off the couch, running outside and slamming the door
"I'll get her" Uncle Mark said
"I got it" I replied getting up from the couch. I ran outside seeing her sitting on the steps. I sat next to her wrapping my arms around her. I had to be brave for her, to show her she can rely on me
"It's okay" I said rubbing her arm.
"She can't just stop. She can fight" she cried
"She has been fighting very hard. Her body won't be able to take much if she keeps pushing" I said
"I need her" she shouted
"I know, me too. Right now we need to be there for her and spend as much time with her" I said
"I can't lose her, I can't lose her" She said crying
"Me either" I replied
I hugged her, letting her cry. I let out some tears as well, I couldn't lose her. She was my second mom and I still needed her.
"Come on, let's go inside" I said helping her up. We went inside sitting on the couch.
"How long?" James asked
"A couple months, we don't know exact" She replied
"A couple months?" James shouted
"I know sweetie, but I will push till the end" She replied
I couldn't hold the tears anymore and let it out, I wasn't the only one.
"Excuse me for a minute" I said getting up to get outside to get fresh air.
"Are you okay?" Stefan asked
"Am I okay? My aunt who is practically my mother tells me she will die in the next couple months and I can't do anything but wait for it to happen. I can't lose her. I already lost one set of parents" I shouted. The tears flooding
Stefan didn't say anything, instead giving me a hug.
"Stefan, I can't lose her. I can't do this again" I said
"I know, we will get through this" He replied. Aunt michelle and Stefan have bounded so I know this is hurting as well for him
We sat out here for a while until the door opened to reveal Aunt Michelle. Aunt michelle replaced Stefan.
"Hi my little lexie" she said
"Hi aunt michelle" I said
"I will be okay, I am strong and I will be okay." She replied
