[Thursday - 7:00am]

My alarm goes off, loudly in my ears. I groan and carefully roll over to shut the alarm off. I promised Michael that I would go to school today.

Michael and I talked to Dr. Chan last night. I cried so hard, but Michael was there to hold my pieces together. Dr. Chan told us that her leukaemia is getting stronger and stronger, and that she needs to stay in the cancer ward until signs of the treatment working. Shania made the painful -Well painful for her- decision to just shave off all of her hair. She cried a lot, her hair was down to the middle of her bottom... now she just doesn't have any. Although she keeps one of Mikey's beanies on to protect her head, she still feels cold.

"Can I come in?" I hear a soft voice say. The door already half open making it possible to see who is behind.

"Of course, come in Jaydn and Mikey." I grumble. They slowly open the door to its full capacity and then they shuffle in. I shyly wave at them and then they giggle back. They both sit at the edge of my bed whereas I just sit up, still surrounded by blankets and toys.

"Are you coming today?" Jaydn asks quietly. I bob my head 'yes' and a small smile creeps onto his face.

This isn't us. This isn't how we act. It's like they're scared of me. I don't like it.

"Guys please, just stop. I'm okay, I'm still here... please. Just stop acting like you're afraid of me. That's the last thing I want right now. I just want everything to go back to the way it was. You know?" I sigh. I look down to my blanket covered lap.

"Yeah... us against the world. I remember." Jaydn says. I smile brightly and enthusiastically nod my head.

"Yeah! Sorry." Michael mumbles.

"Bring it in." I laugh. They both tackle me in for a hug, me managing to hold them all together.

We pull away laughing and then Jaydn ruffles my hair.

"Go get changed missy," he laughs. I salute him and then they both walk out. I quietly shake my head and laugh at us and then I get up. My heat warms and a happy feeling comes to me. This is the happiest I've been in the past 4 days. Ever since Monday I was a living train wreck. I hated everything. But I'm back... the good ol' Jade is back.

I quickly get changed into my uniform and swoop half of my hair up, leaving the longer lengths to still fall down to my waist. I quickly swoop on some waterproof mascara and lightly fill in my brows. I smile at myself in the mirror, my mood rising every second. I slip on my socks and then shoes and I sling my bag over my shoulder.

The cuts on my thighs have decreased in its burning sensation... I miss it in a way, but I also never want to feel it again. I don't know. I just need to be careful.

I skip down the hallway, the smell of pancakes getting stronger as I near the kitchen area. I plop my bag down next to the door and then go over to the island. I take a seat on one of the raised stools and observe Mikey and Jaydn working in perfect harmony as they create the beautiful fluffy pancakes. I stifle a giggle at them as Jaydn tries to flip a pancake by flicking the pan.

"Oh my gosh, hurry up I want some pancakes." I playfully whine. They laugh and then Mikey turns around, revealing a plate with 2 pancakes, some strawberries, maple syrup and of course... ice cream.
