Chapter 10

This chapter is a little sad just to warn you guys before reading. I hope you like it even though it is longer than my other chapters.

It was a cold winter day. Josh was in town for the weekend. I had invited Mason  over but he was ignoring my texts and calls. So I decided to have Alex over with Katelyn, Kelly, and Kelly's new interest Jason to have a movie night and hang out.

The guys were picking out movies to watch as I asked Kelly to give the pizza delivery money when it comes. I had been setting up the plates and snacks on the table when my phone rang.

I had hoped it was Mason finally answering me back, but it was my dad. My grandparents had been sick and in the hospital lately that the doctors weren't sure what was wrong with my grandpa. My grandma had been sick worse than him and was on oxygen so she didn't get out much mostly just for church.

Hey sweetheart it's dad. The doctors say that grandpa has leukemia and that he only has 6 months to live!

I couldn't believe it my grandpa was that sick and I wasn't going to see him again. I guess I had a look of shock and fear on my face. When I looked up at Alex he was looking at me worried. I held up my hand letting him known I'll tell everyone what's going on when I hung up.

Is grandpa going to be ok? I ask not really wanting to hear the answer.

The doctors are going to be putting him on blood transfusions. That's all they can do. I'll book you a flight to see him in the end of April so you can still see him when he's still in better health. Love you girl.

Love you to dad. I'll look for the ticket when you set it up. Night.

Night hun grandpa will be happy when you go up there to visit.

I go to sit down in between Alex and Jenn not ready to tell them what was going on. My eyes were cloudy and my voice quite. "Everything ok sis?" Alex asks me breaking the awkward silence in the air.

"It's my grandpa. My dad said he has leukemia and the doctors say that he only has 6 months to live." I tell everyone while my brain was still processing the facts of the matter.

Alex reaches over rapping his arms around me in the biggest hug I could think of. I was grateful for him hugging me or I would of lost it in front of everyone and I hated crying in front of people.

"I'm sorry sis. I know it's hard when they live so far away!" Jenn says pulling me into another hug.

"Dad said he'll pay for my plane ticket to see them. I'll be leaving in the end of April so I won't spend my birthday with you guys." I tell her knowing that we were wanting to do something together.

"It's ok. The important thing is you get to spend time with your grandparents and family when they need it." Kelly tells me with a smile. She was right it was nice to go to Seattle again even if the reason wasn't so great.

I had wished Mason was here with me but at least he had my message I sent telling him everything that was going on. I was glad for my friends being around today I really needed them to help me through this.

The day was finally here. I was packing up my carry on with some snacks and a book for the flight. I had a middle seat so I wasn't sure if I would even be able to read but at least I had something for the 5 hour flight.

"You all packed?" I hear Jenn ask as she pops her head in my room. She was taking me to the airport since I didn't want to leave my car at the airport for the time I was going to be gone.

"Yep good to go. Just hand me that print out and we can head out." I tell her over my shoulder to put my luggage in the car.

"Is Mason going to see you off?" Jenn asks knowing that he still was being a pain. We were barely talking and he always had something that was so important we couldn't talk or we'd argue.

"No some reason or another he couldn't make it" I tell her looking out the window. I could tell she was upset not even having to look at her. We both knew Mason wasn't the best at making it a priority to having me as his girlfriend.

I hated how our relationship was so strained now, but I had other things on my mind like my grandpa. I knew that he would be sick slot and not get out much. The good thing was for one of the weeks I was going to be staying at my aunt's house with my cousins while my sister was up visiting. We were a huge family so not everyone could stay in the same house with my grandparents.

"Give me a call when you land and don't worry about Mason just have fun with your family." Jenn says pulling me in for a hug before I headed to check in.

"I will and tell everyone I'll keep them posted on my grandpa." I tell her as I headed to to security telling her bye one last time before heading to my flight to Seattle.

I thought I would never get through this chapter without crying. It's such a sad moment.
