Cobain was getting sicker. Luke knew that. He hated the thought of it though when Anna and him sat at the table with her discussing how the surgery was going to go tomorrow.

Cobain looked ill and had to be taken out of school a few weeks ago because the chemo was getting to much to handle.

She was getting smaller too. She was only wearing baggy pjs, and her eyes had bruises under them from the medicine. Her skin was getting too white and Luke hated it.

He hated it a lot.

"I'm sorry." Luke cut Anna off as she told Cobain what was supposed to happen. "I'm sorry I've let this happen I mean I could have taken you in earlier and had this surgery done, and I could of been a better dad and helped you out." He set his head in his hands and rubbed his face.

"I've put you through so much, and kept so many things and secrets from you, and I'm sorry. I'm not the best dad, I'm trying. I've been trying for 12 years now." He took a deep breath as Anna leaned closer to him and rubbed his back. "Why don't you go up stairs and calm down okay? She's not supposed to be under a lot of stress right now okay?" Luke looked up to see Cobain with red eyes, her hand under them desperately trying to stop the tears from falling.

"Alright." Luke scooted his chair out and stood up. He turned away before stopping once he heard Cobain's weak voice. "It's alright dad, I love you."

Luke didn't answer her, but continued to walk up to his room to calm down and be alone.

A few hours later, Luke walked down the stair. A pair of blue jeans hung from his hips instead of the sweats he was wearing earlier.

"I'm going out, I'll be right back." He coughed, and Anna looked up from her phone and smiled. "Okay, be careful." Luke nodded and walked towards her and kissed her forehead. "Love you." Luke spoke and Anna smiled to her self because it was rare that he said that. "I love you too."

Luke walked out the door without another word and got in his car and drove to a local park.

It was evening so no one was really there, am luke didn't mind being alone in the quiet for awhile.

He sat down on the bench and pulled out his phone, sending Ashton a quick text before sliding it back into his pocket.

Not long after, Ashton came down the walk way. Luke felt relieved seeing someone so familiar, someone You've known longer than You can remember.

Luke stood up with a happy smile on his face and hugged Ashton tightly.

He hadn't seen him in almost 3 months. After the band decided to call it good, the all left and started their own family. They all lived near eachother, and sure they talked here and there, but nothing was better than hugging his best friend.

"Hows everyone?" Ashton finally asked as they sat down. Luke leaned forward and sighed. "Cobain's having the surgery tomorrow." Ashton's had rubbed Luke's back in attempt to comfort his distressed friend.

"Luke, you know she'll be alright. She strong, and she'll fight with everything she has left in her."

Luke leaned back and ran a hand through his short hair.

"I know she is, its just, it's just so scary. Shes my baby, yano? Shes my world and I love her and I want whats best for her, I wish I could take all the pain away. Shes in so much pain."

Ashton sighed, he wasn't sure what to say.
