Days go by and i feel myself still getting weaker. I now occasionally need some support from Blake when standing up from sitting or lying down. Lily is now living with Soulla full time ; she thought it was best for Lily to not see me like this and that it would be best for me not to have to worry about her as much. I get a phone call everyday after Lils has finished school to talk to her and to stay in contact.
I've decided it was time to put my face on, put a nice outfit on and go out for a meal. Just me, Blake, Katie, Reece and George. This was my opportunity to tell them. I had to put on a show for social media so they don't figure anything out ; so i post an Instagram of my outfit.

I was flooded with such lovely compliments. I'm glad i've finally been accepted and people have seen that i'm not in a relationship with Blake for the fame or the money.
"Come on Blake, i'm sure your hair looks fine!" i shout up the stairs. That boy spends so long on his hair. Must admit, it does always look perfect - but it doesn't require a solid 30 minutes does it?

We arrive at our destination to be greeted by the other 3.
"I haven't invited you here for no reason, there is something i need to share with you"
I look over to the right where Blake was sitting to notice that 4 girls was sat at the table next to us and they were staring in our direction. Am i talking loud? Surely not, otherwise everyone else would be looking, i guess they just recognise us and don't want to disturb us. I smile at them then look back at the others.
"Are you okay Adelaine? What is it you wanted to tell us?" Katie questions. Blake's hand holds mine beneath the table.
"I. I have cancer" i stutter. I make sure not to make eye contact with any of them, i couldn't bare it.
"Are you sure? Like, Have you seen anyone about it?" Reece breaks the silence.
"I start Radiotherapy in a few days, my appointment is set"
"Right. for the rest of this year, we're going to make it the best year possible, not that she won't make it because i know she will fight this off. But just for memories for us to cherish." Blake attempts to lighten the mood.
"We'll stick by your side A, through all of this" Katie smiles.
"How about we start tomorrow? I'll pay for us to go France and to go to Disney" George offers.
"I'll pay, don't worry G" i step up but he refuses to accept my words.
"Adelaine no, I'll split with George" Katie chirps.
"I will too" Reece adds.
"Look. Don't any of you say i word. I will pay for the flight and you're not stopping me!"
