The five of us walked into the beautiful double story house after school.They all thought it would be a good way to celebrate me making through my first day at this new school by playing FIFA at Lukes house. The boys placed their bags down next to the door so I follow their lead not wanting to cause any dramas. That was until Calum, Michael and Ashton disappeared into another part of the house which left just Luke and I.

"Don't worry about the rest of the boys, they have been here enough times to know where the spear house key is" I laughed at Lukes comment since that is basically what Michael did at my house. I followed Luke into the kitchen where I saw his mother, or well I'm assuming his mother.

"Hi mum, I'm home" Luke said grabbing two apples from the fruit bowl and giving one to me. I guess I was right, she is his mother.

"Oh Luke, I thought the I heard the boys come in" She looked up from what she was chopping and made eye contact with me. She looked surprised at the fact that I was there which made me nervous in a way. I think Luke realized and introduced us.

"Mum this is Darcy, Michael cousin. Darcy, this is Liz, the lady who gave birth to me or adopted me" We all laughed at Lukes comment and I give Liz a warm smile, like I've been giving everybody one.

"It's lovely to meet you, Darcy"

"And you too Ms Hemmings" I looked at Luke and Luke lead me out of the kitchen towards a room where the boys were all sitting, Michael and Ashton were glued to the TV concentrating on the football players they were controlling while Calum was glued to his phone

"Welcome to my room. Just to let you know, no girl has ever entered so you should feel honored" I laughed once again at Luke's comment and took a seat next to Michael. He seemed pretty focused on FIFA to pay attention to what Luke just said.

"So this is basically all you guys do?" I said looking around at the anti-social boys.

"Pretty much. Oh but sometimes practice, you know, for the band" Calum said looking at his phone. Luke was to only one who wasn't glued to a technology device.

"How is the band going? Michael has told me heaps about it." I looked over to Michael who was still glued to the game, occasionally yelling random things which Ashton then responded too.

"The band is going really well, we are just stuck for cover ideas" I opened my phone and went onto my music app. I guess I could look for some songs for them to cover. I flicked through and found the perfect song.

"I've got it, you can do a cover of 'I Miss You by Blink 182'" Luke's face turned into a big smile which made my heart melt.

"That is perfect" My smile grew bigger which I didn't know was possible. Just by spending time with these guys I felt like I was a normal teenage girl. It was a feeling I haven't felt for a while and I didn't want it to go away quickly.

When I walked through the door into my small yet comfortable house I saw my parents eating dinner. And this is when it hit me, I'm growing up. I'm becoming that teenager I am meant to become not this girl with cancer who has no friends and never leaves her room. I am finally feeling like a teenager.

"How was your day today?" My mum asked while she placed the dishes in the dishwasher.

"My day was good. My day was fantastic. My day was amazing" I say while taking an apple from the fruit bowl and making my way towards my bedroom. I opened my bedroom door and jump onto my bed drained from this day that has happened. I replay everything which has happened today over and over again in my mind like a movie and I honestly wish that this all could last forever, that I could have this feeling of happiness and joy all the time and never have to feel pain and sadness. Imagine a world of just happiness, no pain, no sadness.

But then again if we don't taste the bad apple we can't appreciate the good apple.
