A/N: I've been watching so much anime, I can't even function correctly. Goodbye.

'Hey! Can't wait to see you. It's been far too long. D x' I read, before setting my Phone back on my Dresser and continued to finish off my Make-Up.

I had this pit in my Stomach, churning away. I don't really know why.

Okay, that's a lie, I do know why. My oldest friend, Dylan was coming Home from an acting Job. Yep, he was an actor.

We'd known eachother for most of our lives but recently, our lives had gotten extremely busy. I hated feeling disconnected from Dyl. I had one other guy best friend, John. He was so sweet and recently, I've found myself confiding in him alot. He's a great listener.

As I stood up from the Dresser to change into my Skinny Jeans, I heard my Phone vibrating against the bedside Table.

With one Foot in my Jeans and the other out, I quickly slipped on my Jeans and ran to the Phone. "Hello?" I asked, while wrestling with the Button on my Jeans.Finally, I won.

"Hey you." I heard John's familiar Voice speak on the other end of the Phone.

"How are you today?" He asked, "You okay?"
"Hey! I'm okay." I replied, walking over to sit on the dresser Chair.

"How's your Mum? Any better?" He asked concerned.
"Not really. The Doctors have said it's terminal but there's a specialist coming in on Thursday so.." I replied before hearing a creek at the foot of my Bedroom Door.

I spun around quickly to see Dylan standing there, with his Luggage and a concerned look on his Face.

"Dyl..How did you get-" I began.
"Your Brother let me in.." He said, rubbing the back of his Neck.

"John, I've gotta go." I began, "Yep. Okay..Speak soon. Bye." I said before hanging up.

"John?" He asked puzzled, "Boyfriend?"
"Oh no!" I laughed, "Just a good friend."

I really hope Dyl didn't hear anything, I thought.

"Soo.." He began, looking around the Room, most likely for an escape.
"I heard you say something about Doctors...everything okay?" He enquired.

Tell him. Just tell him. He's your best friend. Sure, he's been busy but he's here now. TELL HIM! Thoughts ran through my Brain.

"Everything's fine!" I said, trying to act cheery.
"Oooo-kay" Dyl responded, suspicious of the answer I'd just given.

"So, how's the filming going for Deepwater Horiz-" I said before being interrupted by my little Brother, Peter, shouted from Downstairs.

"Hey! It's the Hospital on the Phone! It's about Mum!" To which Dyl looked at me instantly, "Just a sec.." I said before picking up the Phone on the Cabinet.

"Hello? Hi, Doctor Stevens. Yes...okay. Uh Huh." I listened intently, while Mum's Doctor explained when the specialist would be meeting with her.

"That's great. Tomorrow at 4.15 is perfect. Okay. See you then..." I said before ending the Call.

I could feel Dyl's footsteps coming in my direction and then his Body Weight on the Bed next to me, "Hey." He said before grabbing my Hands, in his.

"What's going on?" He asked, looking into my Eyes but as soon as he asked, me Eyes began to fill with Tears.

"Um..."

I could feel myself getting emotional already. It was time to tell him.

"It's my Mum..." I began, trying to hold back the Tears, "She's ill, Dyl. Really ill." Was all I could say before breaking down completely.

The next thing, Dyl pulled me into a hug, "Why didn't you tell me?" He asked.
I pulled away from the Hug, "I didn't want to worry you.." I said.

"Good job at that!" He said jokingly, trying to cheer me up.

Suddenly, Dyl stood up and grabbed my Blanket from the end of the Bed, he placed it around my Body and then said the words that I needed to hear from his Lips, for so long...

"Tell me everything." He said, gesturing for me to lie on top of him.

___

We must've sat for at least an Hour. I explained everything.

"So, that's it. I have to go and meet with the consultant tomorrow.."
"Wow." Dyl said in shock, "You should've told me.."

"I didn't want to worry you. You're happy and I didn't want to mess that up." I said, still lying on top of Dyl's torso.

"I could never be happy when I know you're in pain. I love you, you're my best friend in the whole World. I'm sorry for not being there for you..." He responded.

"It's not your fault Dyl. You shouldn't have to worry about me." I said.
"I do. I always will. I promise that I will always be there for you. Got it?" He said.

"Got it, O'Brien" I replied, "Oh, and I love you too." I said, before resting my Head, back on his Collarbone.

The last thing I remember was Dyl kissing my Forehead before falling fast asleep. I'd been so tired from the last few Months, that sleeping was a luxury. All the worry melted away for a little while, laying there in Dyl's Arms. I felt safe.
