After physio, Bree got out her cellphone and dialled in Zayns number. He picked up after the first ring.

"Hey Zayn, it's Bree."

"Oh hey Bree!" He exclaims.

There's a silence between them.

Bree years a knock at her door and calls out for them to come in.

It's Zayn.

Zayn walks in pushing a wheel chair stacked to the brim with junk food.

"Are you crazy?" Bree asks.

"Only if you want me to be!" Zayn jokes.

"Look Zayn," I start, "I don't want you to do this out of pity for me. The doctors say that my cancer should be treated fully soon. I don't want to be lead in and hurt. I'm in enough pain already Zayn." He stares at me with a blank look on his face.

"I'm sorry if you think that this is out of pity." He says. "Bree, I think-" he stops talking because we're interrupted by nurse Jaqui.

"Oops. Did I walk in on something important here?" She asks.

"No," I begin, "we were just about to eat."

"Oh good then, I have your dinner here or would you like to eat what this young gentleman has brought for you?" She says with a discreet wink at me.

"Um, I guess I will have what ever I'm allowed.." I say.

Nurse Jaqui walks over to the chair full of food and picks a couple of things up to inspect.

"Okay." The nurse says, "pig out!"

Bree smiles at Zayn and he chucks her a bag of twisties.

Today was really looking up.
