 Chapter One: I Don't Even Know His Name

 "Zyla get up!" I heard my mum called. I groaned and stuck my head under my pillow trying to ignore her voice. 

  "Zyla c'mon get up!" Mum said again walking into my bedroom.

  "And if I don't?" I asked lifting my head up. "Then . . . " Mum looked around the room as if searching for an idea, her eyes lit up, "then I'll make you clean my room!" I gasped in mock horror. "No anything but that!" We both laughed because Mum's room was a horrible mess-although mine was too. Mum tossed me some clothes for the day. "Seriously though," I said, "it's Saturday why do I have to get up at-" I paused and looked at my watch, "-seven thirty AM?"

   Mum smiled, "Because we're going shopping and I have some things to tell you." When she said the last part I notice her smile vanished for a second. "So hurry up and get dressed c'mon you've got ten minutes!" With that she hurried out of the room to answer her ringing cellphone. 

  I sighed and slid out of bed looking at what Mum had given me. My purple short shorts, Harry Potter shirt, and a black leather jacket that I was starting to grow out of. Mum just couldn't afford to get me another one right now. It's not that we're poor or anything but times aren't always easy. I quickly applied a bit of makeup then ran a brush through my long think light brown hair.

  I tiptoed down the stairs and heard Mum talking in her bedroom. 

  " . . . leaving tomorrow," she paused, as a voice spoke. I jumped then realized the phone was on speaker. "Make sure you request Dr. Malonken." I heard her sigh. "I will." There was silence. "Doctor?"

  "Yes Anne?"

  "Will this help me get better?"

  Silence

  "Doctor?"

  "Do you want the truth?"

  "Yes."

  "I don't know for sure."

  "What do you mean?"

  "I mean I don't know if this will work. And you have such a severe case."

  I heard her sigh. "It's worth a try. I need to do this. For Zyla."

  "Have you told her?"

  "No. . . I was going to today."

  "You need to-soon." 

  "I know. . . Look I've got to go and start packing."

  "Alright and good luck."

  With he hung up.

  I stepped into the room. "Mum?" I asked my voice quiet. Mum turned around.

  "Mum?" I said again. 

  "Honey . . . I'm so sorry," Mum said her eyes glistening. I swallowed, "What's going on?" She sighed and looked down. "Zyla sit down, there's something I need to tell you." She said sinking onto the bed.

  "Zyla . . . I have lung cancer," Mum said looking down. I stared. "What does that mean? I thought you quit smoking?" Mum nodded, "Since I did a lot of smoking in high school that really messed up my breathing for aw while then I stopped-but after your father left-" she sighed and the hard look that had come over my face, "-after he left I started again."

  "But you stopped when you found out you were pregnant-didn't you?" I asked worried. "Yes! gods yes I didn't smoke while I was pregnant of course not! And I don't smoke now either but stopping didn't undo all the damage smoking did to my lungs . . . and now  it's coming back to haunt me."

  I sighed and looked down trying to hold back the tears building in my eyes. 

  "You're dying?" My voice quivered and broke as I asked. Mum nodded an wiped at her eyes. "That's why I'm going to America . . . for treatment."

  "Wait what?!" I jumped up. "You're leaving!? For America?" mum nodded again. "But . . . Honey I don't have enough money for two plane tickets . . . "

   "So I'm staying here." I stated. "Yes," said Mum. "With Christy?"

   "Actually I've made a decision," Mum said looking down. "What do you mean?" I asked. She sighed again. "I think it's time you met your dad."

   I stared at her in disbelief. Unable to comprehend what she had said. After thirteen and half years of never hearing from him or about him or seeing pictures of him or even knowing his name all of the sudden I was going to meet someone I had grown up hating my whole life.
