my mom and I pulled up to a dirty motel around 2 a.m. my mom walked up to the front desk and asked for a room. he led us to worn out, wooden door and handed us a key. we closed the door just standing there examining the dusty room.

"we'll be out of here soon.." my mom promised before taking her lips to my temple and gently placing a small kiss. I walked over to a bed and slopped on it making the springs in the mattress squeak. I closed my eyes and fell gently into a light sleep.

I woke up with the worst pain in my back. I tried to grasp air, but I could not. I was sitting there, wheezing. my mom flew up and ran towards me. she didnt know what to do until I finally was able to get my breathe back to normal. "when's your next appointment?" she asked still recovering after the scare. "tomorrow." she bit her lip thinking. "I'm not going to go on this trip. I'll call in. I'll get another job, part time, and work both... I'm going to talk to Aunt Monica. maybe she'll let us stay at her house since Kyle and Julie are in college now." "no, no, no. you don't have to do that. I can take care of myself..." "honey! you have cancer. that's not happening.." I knew I was going to win so I proceeded to get up and get ready for school..

I tapped the eraser end of my pencil impatiently waiting for the last bell to signal the end of the school bell.

ring ring ring.

I jumped out of my seat and followed the crowd out the door. I did not have many friends. only two or three that I hung out of school sometimes. no bestfriends. I didn't gossip, or share boy story's with anyone besides my mom. I never told my mom about the boy, mikey, yet. he has not texted me yet and I assumed that he will never.

I opened the front door to my moms rusted old car. we exchanged hellos as she drive away to be approached by my doctors office 15 minutes away. we walked in being greeted by the secretary and the smell I despised. we waiting for about 10 minutes making small talk. finally my name was called. the doctor went over the basics to my mom, ran little test on me, and talked about my future. I zoomed out until I heard one heart breaking line.

"we assume that Ryder only has another 6 months left to live. we're not positive. but it would be a miracle if she lived longer." my eyes teared. my mom screeched, hysterical crying. I went over to her. "shh. shh. don't do this." I tried reassuring her. I held onto her. "I'm sorry." the doctor spoke before leaving. we stood there for about 5 minutes until my mom picked her head up, fixed her face, and got her breathe back to normal. the doctor returned with a device. "this will help you breathe. you will need to bring this everywhere and have it in your nose every single day." he took a tube, looping it around my ears and plunged it into my nose. "what about school?" I Asked. "I suggest a tutor.." I looked at my mom. "okay. thank you doctor. I will see you next week." he smiled patting my head as I left the room.

I bucked my seat belt. "aunt Monica said we can stay at her house. we can move in Saturday. just go to school tomorrow, and well look into home schooling. okay bud?" I smiled and nodded. "I love you." I told her. she kissed my forehead. "I loveyou too."
