Me:
What!? What did it say?
Spencer:
'Say goodbye to Aria, she might not be here much longer. -A'
"What does that bitch know that I don't!?" I whispered.
"What's wrong?" Ezra asked.
"Look," I showed him the phone.
"I'm getting really tired of this," he hissed.
"Aria Montgomery?" said a nurse from the door. I grabbed Ezra's hand and pulled him along, "So as you know, the last time you were here, we did several tests, but the first one told us what we needed to know,"
"Really?" I said quite confused.
"Yep. Aria, your white blood cell count was very low, giving off leukemic symptoms," Ezra whimpered and put his head in in his hands.
"Leukemic? Cancer?" I basically took the same position as Ezra, and he took one of my hands, slowly entwining our fingers.
"We'll get through it. We always do," he said, leaning his head against mine, "Say something babe,"
"I'm going to lose my hair," I laughed, "Is it bad that I'm more worried about that than dying?" I asked, turning to the nurse.
"No not at all. Actually it's quite normal," she laughed, handing me a business card, "On there is the number for the best oncologist in the Philly area. I suggest giving them a call and setting up an appointment to see them. Take care," she walked out, leaving Ezra and me alone.
I looked at him, his head still in his hands, and tears running down his face.
"What are we going to do, Aria?" he asked, looking up at me.
"I don't know," I said softly. His crying turned into sobs that racked his body. Just when I thought things couldn't get any worse, my phone went off, "Great..." I sighed.

Oh no! One little liar disease ridden... Guess that's one I can cross off my list! Best of luck!

"Come on," I said, grabbing Ezra's hand, "Time to go tell the girls..."
***
I sat in the middle of all the girls on Spencer's bed, tears threatening to spill. I took a deep breath, "There's a good chance... that I might have leukemia," I said, letting the dam break. Hanna was the first to break, then Emily, then Spencer.
"This can't be happening!" Hanna wailed. We all sat there crying when Melissa and Mrs. Hastings walked in.
"Spencer...?" Melissa said, "Us everything okay?" Spencer wiped her tears and shook her head.
"What happened girls?" Mrs. Hastings asked. Spencer got up and embraced her mom,
"Aria might have cancer!" Spencer sobbed.
"Oh my goodness, Aria," Melissa said, opening her arms. I smiled weakly and accepted. We all exchanged hugs and tears until I decided it would be a good idea to go home and tell my dad and Mike. I slowly walked home, dreading telling them...
