"I'm so excited to finally speak to him." I tell Lamine, as we walk down the streets of London, with our destination being the hospital.

"He'll be so happy to see you." He smiles and wraps an arm around me to keep me warm,since it's freezing in England.

"Chop chop!" Pablo tries to push us forward.

"It's freezing Pabs shush!" Pedri shivers in his place.

"You guys are such children." Ferran huffs.

"Sorry Daddy." Pablo speaks.

"Right." I glare at Pablo and he laughs.

"Move it come on!" Ferran calls us over with his hands.

We walk for a few minutes until we reach the hospital, the familiar smell hits my nostrils quickly, which gives me an unsettling feeling. Lamine notices this and keeps me closer to him.

We walk up to the receptionist and I speak up, since only me and sometimes Ferran speak good english.

"Hello." I start off.

"Hi! Who are we looking for today?" The receptionist asks.

"Jose Garcia." I inform her.

"Oh yes! Room 205 lovelies." She points to the corridor.

"Thank you!" I nod at her and move towards the corridors, with the boys behind me.

"I'm so nervous." Pedri breathes out.

"Me too." Pablo admits.

"It will be okay guys." Lamine tried to keep a cool tone, but I can hear the terrified pitch of his voice.

We knock at the door and I hear a 'come in', and I immediately heard my brother's voice from behind the door. I burst into tears, in which all my feelings explode in once.

I run inside the room and see him there, smiling at me, holding the giraffe.

"Hey mana." He says. I ugly cry and run towards him, as he wraps his arms around me.

"I hate you." I mutter while I'm crying.

"Hey that's not the first thing I wanna hear!" He teases me.

"You left me Jose." I sniffle.

"I'm sorry, but I'm here now!" He rubs a tear off my cheek. I hum in response.

I stand up to let the boys talk to Jose, and I left to go find a bathroom.

"We okay love?" Lamine says, which makes me turn around.

"Yeah - just feeling it all at once." I sigh.

"It's okay, it happens to everyone, you don't need to always be the strong person you have to be." He lectures me.

"I just hate when people see me weak, it's why I shut everyone down you know, it's a horrible side of me because people can take advantage of me while I'm at a breaking point."

"But you need to give yourself the reassurance that sometimes not being okay is okay Cam. We all go through hardships in our life, but not facing them in a healthy matter can make you develop unhealthy habits, in which you don't want right?" I nodded at his point. "Give yourself freedom, and I'll always be by your side, we're in this together, for ever and ever."
