Ross' POV
12pm
Bauer was sat on my lap still as we played go fish against shor. "Are we winning?" Bauer asked. "I think so. Ask for that one" I explained. He nodded "have you got any jacks?" He asked. Shor sighed "God boys" he laughed. We both laughed as he handed Bauer 2 jacks. Bauer smiled. "We winning!" He exclaimed. I smiled. "Yep" the door opened and I saw Mamoo and Papa walk in. "Hey sweetheart" Mamoo smiled. "Hey Mamoo" I smiled, hugging her. "Mamoo! We're winning!" Bauer exclaimed. "Really? Is shor not good?" Papa joked. Bauer giggled and shook his head. I smiled as they sat down "where's mom and dad?" I asked. "Talking to the doctor." Papa told me. I furrowed my eyebrows but nodded "oh. Okay"
Mom and dad walked back in and smiled at me. Dad walked over and hugged me and I hugged back. "It's not working is it?" I whispered. He shook his head. I hugged him tighter. I felt arms wrap around my torso and knew it was Bauer. I separated from dad and hugged Bauer. "You're gonna be fine" mom whispered. I nodded slightly. But for some reason. I didn't believe it.

3am
I opened my eyes as pain built up in my chest. Riker and papa were here but asleep. I sat up and started coughing. I felt something building up in my throat and suddenly blood covered the covers that were on top of me. The light turned on and I saw papa was awake. I ran to my side and started to sooth me as I sobbed and coughed. Riker ran to get the doctor. The doctor ran in with a nurse. "Ross you're fine okay?" He assured. He placed a mask on my face and papa stroked my hair. "Close your eyes." The doctor ordered as they started to droop. I heard the rip of the hospital gown and everything went black.
12:30pm
I opened my eyes and saw mom eating a sandwich. I had a mask on and felt so weak. "Hi sweetie. How're you feeling?" I heard. I looked to my left and saw Mamoo. Mom stood up and stood next to my bed. "Hey baby" she whispered. I just stared. "You're sick Ross. You have a fever." Mamoo told me. I furrowed my eyebrows "we don't know how you got it honey. But they're sending you to ICU later today. This is the last time we'll be allowed to see you before you're better" mom told me. I frowned and she stroked my hair. "We'll be able to watch you through a window baby. But we can't have any contact." Mamoo explained. "That's not fair" I whispered. "It's just to make sure you don't get worse"
5:00pm
I was in ICU. I glanced at the window and saw mom and dad standing, watching me. I looked around the room. The nurses were hooking me up to things and putting antibiotics in the IV. "Okay. Get some rest" my nurse said. "Can you tell mom and dad to go? Just because it isn't fair for them to be here if they can't see me"

7am
My fevers gone down now. But I'm still in ICU for another week. No ones come to see me so this week has been horrible. I've started to lose some hair now so I'm always wearing a beanie.
The nurse walked in with my breakfast and smiled "hey sweetheart. How are you feeling?" She asked. "I'm okay. Can I call my parents?" I asked. She nodded "on your phone or the hospital one?" "Can I used the hospital one? My phones dead and I can't find my charger" I explained. She nodded and pointed at the phone on the wall. "Are you able to move?" She asked. "Yeah. I'm not on any wires until 10" I smiled. She nodded "and it's only chemo so you can walk around the room" she smiled. I smiled too and she nodded before leaving. I stood up and walked over the the phone. I pushed the chair next to the phone and sat on it. I dialled moms number and waited for her to answer
"Hello?"
"Hey mom"
"Ross! Hi sweetheart. How are you?"
"I'm okay. My fevers gone down but I'm still in here for a week"
"Awh I'm sorry baby. How's chemo?"
"It's okay. I've got it at 10 today. My hairs falling out abit now though"
"Well your hairs quite thick so we'll have to shave it"
"Yeah. Only short though. I don't wanna look like an egg" I giggled.
Mom laughed.
"Even with no hair you'll still be handsome as ever"
"Thanks momma. What are you doing today?"
"I don't know yet"
"Oh okay."
"Can we come and see you?"
"I don't know. We'll have to talk through the window"
"I still wanna see you baby"
"Okay. You can come if you want"
"Great. Shall I come before or after chemo?"
"Uh. You can come at anytime. I can sit by the window while having chemo"
"Okay. I'll be there at like 9:30"
"Okay. Love you mommy"
"I love you too sweetheart"
9:30am
I was reading a book on the bed when I heard a knock on the window. I looked up and saw mom and Rydel. I smiled before standing up and walking over. I sat on the chair and they smiled. "Hi baby" mom smiled. I smiled "hi mom. Hi Delly" I greeted. "Hey. How are you feeling?" Delly asked. I shrugged. "Decent." I smiled. "That's good sweetheart" mom told me. "I need a hug" I told them. "I know baby. You'll get one soon" Delly assured. I smiled as my eyes got abit blurry. Pain shot through my stomach but I ignored it. "You okay baby?" Mom asked. I furrowed my eyebrows "I don't know" I whispered. Everything went blurry and I felt like I was being stabbed. I coughed and blood poured out of my mouth and everything went black.
