I grabbed my towel and jumped out of the car , Olivia right beside me as we walked across the sand tying to find the perfect place to relax and sun bake & in dads case ; reading his book.

We found the perfect place and laid our towels down flat on the sand.

I pulled my tank top off and my short shorts and lay down to sunbake.

"How are you feeling?" Liv asks next to me.

"Fine" I say shortly.

"Georgia babe , we're just worried about you" she says sweetly.

I sigh " I know , I'm sorry. It's just that," I pause "Why does everything bad happen to me? First mum dying and now me having cancer!? Life isn't fair"

"Life isn't meant to be fair , Georg. Everything happens for a reason"

She grabs my hand and plays with my fingers.

You see , Olivia and I have a very unique & special friendship.

We have been friends since we were born.

Her mum and my mother were best friends since they were little so we grew up with each other.

Since we learnt to walk we have been glued to the hip.

She was there for me during everything.

When mum died.

Mums funeral.

Finding out I had cancer.

& now.

I'm about to go have my first bout of chemotherapy so the doctors advised me to go away for a month, just to cleanse my self and be ready for what's ahead of me.

Chemo will either help me or be the death of me.

"You're doing it again" Liv pulls me out of my deep thinking.

"What? Doing what?" I'm confused

"You're playing with the ribbon"

She stated.

"Oh" I murmur and pull my fingers away from my hair.

The Yellow Ribbon.

It pulls me into another deep thought.

It was mums. She used to wear it in her hair all the time, when she died they found it in her hair and gave it to us. It's one of the only things they could save in the wrecked car.

When they gave me the yellow piece of ribbon I nearly threw it away.

'Why would I want an old piece of ribbon?' I thought at the time but then I remember thinking that it was actually special.

So now , that's why I am the one wearing it .

It also puts a smile on my fathers face when he sees the yellow ribbon wrapped around my hair.

I don't want to wreck it so I only wear it every now and then.

My father put on a brave front when she passed away but I know , deep inside he is still crumbling away.

And when he found out about me having cancer ... a big bit chipped off.
