caspar tells his friends and family that he has cancer but starts to get weaker so he is transferred to hospital.

Caspar unlocks his front door and walks inside his house, returning from his scan.

"Joe? I'm back!" Caspar's shouts echo through the upstairs of their apartment.

Caspar slowly walks over to the stairs, going down them and knocking on Joe's bedrooms door.

"You in the-" Before Caspar could finish, Joe had opened the door and his arms were wrapped around him.

Caspar hugged him back, smiling and eventually letting go. His smile dropped when he looked at Joe; he had to tell him how long he had left.

"So, have you got long?" Joe stared anxiously at Caspar, tapping his foot on the ground every so often.
Caspar sighed, spun in a full circle then started to speak.

"4 weeks. Four fucking weeks Joe. I can't even survive until my birthday. Four more Caspar Lee Monday's then thats it, i'm gone." Caspar felt tears forming in his eyes but quickly wiped them away.
Joe was in shock, he couldn't find the words.

"A-are you going to tell people?" Joe asked, placing a hand on Caspar's shoulder.
He nodded taking his phone from his pocket and unlocking it.

"I'll tell everyone. But, can you sit with me?" Caspar asked Joe, sitting on his bed. Joe nodded, staring at Caspar as he clicked the contact that said 'Mom'. He put the phone to his ear and began to talk.

"Hello?" Caspar said, his mums voice shortly followed.

"Hi, Casp! You ok?" She questioned.

"Well I need to tell you something quite serious.." Caspar spoke before telling his mum the news.
You could hear her sobbing through the speaker, tears formed in Caspar's eyes as he ended the call.

-
When he had finished calling everyone, he laid down on his bed and closed his eyes; drifting off into a deep sleep.

The next morning, Joe had gone to a meeting and Caspar was alone in the house. He slowly walked up the stairs of their apartment, only to find Oli sitting on the couch playing Fifa. Caspar smiled and sat down next to him, making a face as he did as his muscles were getting tenser and weaker.

"Hey, mate. How you holding up?" Oli said, passing Caspar another controller but he denied. Oli shrugged his shoulders and put it away.

"I'm ok, I guess." Caspar replied, laying down and resting his legs in Oli's lap while he continued playing.

-
A few hours later, Oli had gone home and Joe returned to find Caspar asleep on the couch. He smiled and grabbed the christmas blanket that was still hanging over the back of the couch and carefully draped it over Caspar's body. Joe placed his bag on the dining room table and went downstairs to his room, plugging his phone into charge and quickly changing into his pj's. Once he was sat up in bed, he picked up his phone and went in twitter, sending out a tweet.

'@joe_sugg: I have been in meetings all day and came back to find @Caspar_lee asleep on the couch :)'

He sent the tweet and locked his phone, laying back down in his bed and falling asleep very quickly.

5 hours later, he woke up to the sounds of Caspar's quiet sobbing coming from upstairs. Joe climbed out of bed and went upstairs to find Caspar sitting on the floor by the side of the couch, crying lightly and holding his sides. Joe ran over to him and sat next to him, putting his arm round his shoulder.

"Shh, what's wrong?" Joe asked, rubbing Caspar's back with his hand.

"I-it hurts to even talk or move." Caspar managed to get out, breathing slightly heavily. Joe frowned and leaned into him, and started humming a tune to calm Caspar. It worked and Caspar fell asleep again on the couch.

-
A few weeks later, Caspar wasn't getting any better. He was getting worse.
Joe walked up go the stairs, ready to cook pizza for their breakfast. Caspar hadn't been eating for a few days, maybe the odd piece of fruit so Joe thought maybe pizza would lighten his mood a little bit.

"Hey! I'm cooking pizza for breakfast! You excited?" Joe exclaimed, jumping around and clapping his hands together. Caspar winced at the sound and turned around, looking at Joe.

"Thanks but no thanks. I don't really want to eat pizza or anything for the matter. Sorry, Joe." Caspar turned back around and carried on watching the tv.
Joe sighed and walked back downstairs, picking up his phone. The hospital said that getting weaker and not eating is a side effect and will start to happen when he is close to, well, dying.
Joe phoned the hospital and told them what was happening with Caspar. They were going to come and pick Caspar up from their apartment since Caspar couldn't move. Joe told them the address and hung up, running back upstairs to Caspar and sitting next to him.

"Mate, listen. I phone the hospital-" Joe was cut off by Caspar shouting at him.

"You what? I'm fine!" Caspar laid down and Joe sighed.

"It's for your own good. They are coming to pick you up in about 20 minutes. Sorry." Joe finished, twiddling his fingers and waited for a reply from Caspar.

"Ok, sorry." Caspar said, closing his eyes and breathing lightly. Joe waited until the ambulance came, until he heard a knock on their door. When he finally did, he opened in and they rolled a stretcher in, carefully picking up the sleeping Caspar and taking him back down to the ambulance. Joe looked at the floor as one of the nurses came up to him.

"I'm sorry. You can visit him in about 2 hours." She smiled and left the house, closing the door behind her and leaving Joe alone in the apartment. Joe fell to the floor and starting crying, and thats all he did for 1 hour straight.
