He wasn't at home.

Jacques, I mean. He was at the hospital doing God-knows-what. I was all alone.

Like usual.

I wanted to be with Jacques and watch what was happening to him and help him.

But at the same time, I didn't want to look at him, knowing he'd be in indescribable pain.

Cancer was just a six letter word for death.

I didn't want to see Jacques go through that much.

Sighing, I put all of my bags down onto the ground. I was the main source of money know but all I had was a shitty job that can't pay shit.

"Amanda!

School was still mandatory for me though.

"Hey, Corinna," I said, weakly smiling.

Corinna must've felt my sadness.
"What's wrong?"

And tears freely rolled down my cheeks, "He has cancer, Cory. Fucking cancer."

I lean into her and sob. I sob for everything I've lost and everything I will lose. I sob for my mum, my dad and Jacques.

"Shh,"

I carry on.

"Fucking pathetic!" A voice screeched.

It was the recognizable voice of Jody Afinase. "Fucking crying all of the time!"

"Shut up!" I snarled in my tear-wrcked haze.

"Or what?"

A crowd was starting to form.

"Or I'll tell everyone you're a lesbian!"

Jody looked horrified, hurt. She deserved it, I tell myself. She really had it coming.

"Yes, your Queen Bee, is a lesbian, get the fuck over it!"
