Chapter Nine - Not Now

"Where were you last night?"asks Larry.

"I was with Aubrey last night, why?"responded Bethany.

"No reason."Larry said.

"Man, he's acts like a idiot sometimes, its getting annoying."Bethany stated.

Bethany left to school. As lonely as she was, she was still happy that her friend is still with her. That's really all she wanted, there was nothing else that she could possibly want besides that. But the was still a question in her mind; when will Aubrey leave her?

Today at school, Bethany had been working very hard at her school work, aandther's no reason for it. She just felt like doing her best today at school. Maybe because she wanted to tell Aubrey how hard she worked today at school for her, just her. But if that was the reason, then that most be one of the confusing reason in Bethany whole experiences in her whole life.

When school was over, Bethany, as always, went directly to the hospital to visit Aubrey.

When she got to the hospital and asked if she could visit Aubrey the doctor told her, if she didn't get the call from the hospital this morning. Bethany made a confusing face, she didnt know what she was talking about. If there was a call this morning about Aubrey Mrs. Nell would have told bethnay aout what ever it was about.

"So did you get the call?" asked once again the doctor.

"Well I'm not the adult in my house I'm just 14 years old," she responded, "why, what happend?"

"Well Miss Aubrey wasn't reasponding to the doctor last night a fw hours after you left so we checkeed why she wasn't responing to us, and it turns out that-"

"She's running out of time." Bethnay whispered.

"I'm sorry, but our best doctor said that she only got about a day or two."

"Which means, that I can't see her anymore?"

"I'm afraid so. But I'll call if you can visit, I can see how special this girl is to you,and I wouldn't want you to not be able to see her for the rest of your live. I lost the most special person in my life, and I didn't even visited him. I wouldn't want that to happen to another person that know."

"Thank you."Bethany went home

When she got home she started screaming, "MOM MOM COME HERE RIGHT NOW!"zz

"What is it hon?" Mrs. Nell came down the stairs asking what was going on.

"Don't hon me! Did you get a call from the hospital? And one thing I want you to be honest, because this is very serious!"

"No why, but first calm down."

"It's Aubrey mom."

"Well ask your brothers."

"...Larry, Ethan!"

"What's all the yelling down here?" That was Ethan.

"Had any of you answered a phone call from the hospital?"

"Nope" said Larry.

"...I...I did, it was about Aubrey, right."

"Why wouldn't you tell me about this, when you got the call?"

"Because I knew you were going to be like this right now, plus I didn't wanted you to suffer even more than you are right now."

"Well thank you for caring about me, but you know how special she is to me."

"Well Beth, at least he did something very caring to you."Mrs. Nell came in.

"I know mom, that's why I'm not angry at all. I knew that you guys care about me."said Bethany.

That night, Bethany couldn't sleep at all. Knowing to hope or not. Very unsure to go check if she can go visit her. But the only thing that she was sure about was that her friend will soon die. And there was nothing else to do except live the world.

That morning Bethany woke up thinking of a question for her mother. One that would start their lives again.

"Good morning my birdies." said Mrs.Nell to the three of them.

"Good morning,mom."three of them said.

"Mom can we move to another city or town or another state, maybe."asked Bethany.

"Why?"Mrs. Nell asked back.

"Because dad died here of cancer and now it's Aubrey."

"Are you saying that here there's lots of people dying out of cancer?"

"Well yes, and to...start our lives again."

"What?" Larry came in surprised.

"Well, I couldn't sleep at all last night. So I stared thinking on what to do once Aubrey goes to a more peaceful place. Then that came to me. It would be more peaceful for us. It would keep us from suffering."Bethany said.

"She's got a point there, mom."said Ethan.

" Well I guess so. But what about your friends?"Mrs. Nell said.

"We'll get knew ones." Larry said.

"Although, I'll miss them.'' whispered Ethan.

"Well then, where would you guys want to move to?"Mrs.Nell asked.

"I don't know. But will think of one right, sis?" Ethan looked at Bethany to see if she was OK,sure, about moving to another place were there's no suffering.

She didn't answered.

"Beth?" Larry looked at Bethany, too.

"Oh yes of course sure."

"You should get some sleep, I think you needed." Mrs. Nell pushed, not hard,so that she can start moving to her bedroom."

"Bye, bye." Bethany went to sleep.

"I feel sorry for her, mom, we should do something very special to her."Ethan said to his mother.

"I know, hon, I know."
