***Take a chance and never let go.

Risk everything, lose nothing.

Don't worry about anything anymore.

Cry in the rain and speak up loud.

Say what you want and love who you want.***

Elena's P.O.V.

I woke up and looked at the ceiling. For a moment I didn't know what happened the day before but then everything came back to my mind. The brain tumour.

I went downstairs in my PJs. I pitter-pattered into the kitchen where my mum was sitting. Her eyes were red from crying and she looked like she didn't get a wink of sleep the night before. She was staring into her cup of coffee with sadness in her eyes. As soon as she saw me she jumped up from her chair and came to me.

"How are you?" She whispered with a worried face.

"I'm okay, mum." I murmured.

"We're going to head to the hospital in about 30 minutes. Get ready and I'll make you some breakfast." She acted like she was strong but I heard her voice shaking and saw the new tears in her eyes.

I shook my head. "I don't want to eat anything. I'm not hungry."

"But you have to eat something, please." She nearly begged me and I nodded slightly before I went upstairs again to get a shower. After the shower I put my clothes on and brushed my teeth. For a moment I thought about putting a bit of make-up on but I didn't put any on... I didn't know for what. For the doctors who were going to say me that I'm going to get a chemo soon? I didn't know what to expect today.

I went back into the kitchen. My father was there too now. My mum gave me a bowl of cereal and wanted me to eat it. I sat down at the table and just picked at my food without any motivation. At least I haven't cried since the evening before.

After a few minutes we got into the car to get back to the hospital.

The doctors made another few medical tests and it took four hours until they finally sent me back home. They said that they would inform us as soon as the tests would be analysed.

My parents and I drove home again and they were trying to do everything that I wanted but I just preferred to be alone so I went into my room again and stared through the window. After a while I needed someone to talk to. I wanted to visit Becca because I didn't feel like talking to my parents. They were worrying enough about me.

When I was about to leave the house I heard my dad: "Where you going?"

"To Becca's. I need to talk to her."

I saw it in his eyes that he didn't want to let me go but he knew that I would go anyway so his eyes followed me until I closed the door from outside.

When Becca answered the door I went into their house and sat down on the couch in her room.

She followed me quickly. "Elena, tell me. What happened? I tried to call you multiple times. Are you okay?"

I slightly shook my head and then the tears flooded my eyes again. Suddenly I realised that I wasn't ready to talk about the tumour.

Becca pulled me in her arms and whispered: "Hey hun, what's up? Tell me. You know that I'll always be there for you."

I took a deep breath. "They diagnosed me with cancer. A tumour in my brain." I know, it was terrible to tell her without a warning or something but I couldn't help it.
