It only took twenty minutes to get to the doctors office, and by the time we got there, my family was waiting outside. All my siblings and my mother, that is. Allison was walking towards them when I got out of the car.

'What's going on?' I asked, and that was the first thing I had said since my dad and I left the house.

'I don't know.' Allison called back to me. My dad was standing right next to me, but he didnt say a word. I silently followed him towards the front of the doctor's office. Allison wrapped her arm around my shoulders, and we walked towards Vanna, Mathew, and Cass, together.

'Where were you?' Mathew acused when we were standing infront of them. Mathew and Allison have never gotten along, and honestly I dont know why.

'Mom and dad knew, so what does it matter if you know or not?' Allison responed, sassy.

'Guys not here, not now.' Vanna pleaded and I heard the fear in her voice. I looked at them then, Vanna and Cass. Cass was crying, her eyes red rimmed and puffy. Vanna was trying not to cry, and she was close to failing.

'Whats wrong?' I asked

as Mathew responded with, 'Because I'm your brother and you're decisions are questionable.'

Vanna opened her mouth as Allison exploded with, 'Questionable? Thats rich. I remember you were a very-' Allison could have said more of course, but that was when Cass spoke.

'They found out whats wrong. I have lukemia, ALL.' Vanna shut her mouth, her eyes and Cass's trained on me. Lukemia. That word rolled over in my skull, threatening to burst out at any moment. I've never been good with bad news. I'm the one that runs away instead of falling apart. I tend to do that bit in private. Mathew and Allison were getting louder and Vanna yelled at them to shut up. My phone buzzed, and I checked it. It was a text message from one of my best friend's, Gabriel aka Gabe Douglas.

Hey Chris, did you find out why y'all had to meet everyone? Everything okay? I'm at home if you need me.

Gabe is in the same grade as me, soon to be tenth, but he is already sixteen. He has his drivers lisence already. He is only four months older, and technicaly he cant drive me or our other bestfriend JC yet. Yet. My world was falling apart, it rsally was. The word Lukemia was an angry one that meant hospitals and chemo and hair falling out. It meant my sister wouldnt be home. I pulled my phone out and texted Gabe back.

Can Kim pick me up? Can you let JC know to come to yours?

He responded in two secconds with a simple yes.

'Why are we here anyway?' Allison yelled. Mathew blurted it in his rage.

'Because Cass has lukemia! Thats why' and then he added : 'Shit. That came out wrong.'

I know he meant it though. Even when Mathew is angry, he never says something he doesnt mean. I turned away from my family and walked to the curb. I looked both ways before I crossed into the parking lot, and walked over towards the entrances and exits. My name was yelled, but I don't know who yelled it. Maybe everyone. I'm the invisible twin, the one that is never noticed. Cass is the opposite. So why, does she have to be sick?

There is a picture of Vanna at the top.
