When You Thought Nothing was Gonna Change

Chapter 2

(Amy)
About a week after the party Chad and I went to, my mother started getting worse and worse!

I woke up the other night to her screaming in pain, I ran to her room, picked her up, carried to my car and drove to the hospital.

She ended up having to stay in the hospital for a couple days.

The day the doctor released her to got home, he spoke with me.

"Amy I need to talk to you for second" the doctors says

"Okay" said Amy

"I don't know how to tell you this, but your mothers cancer is growing a lot faster" I would say she has about a few weeks more too live... I'm so sorry"

I was speechless. I stood their for a minute then all I said was "okay, thanks for everything you've done for us"

I walked into the hospital bathroom and cried my eyes out. It felt like someone stabbed me in my chest!

I hurried and wiped my eyes and went to my car to drive my mom and me home.

When I got home my mom sat on the couch watching a movie, while I went to my room. I called my brother Jeremy. He finally picked up on the fourth ring.

"Hello, is everything okay" Jeremy asked
"No" I said

I couldn't hold it in I started crying more.

" Aims what's wrong" Jeremy asked

I liked it when my brother called me Aims it made me feel like I was 7 again when my dad was still here, when my mom didn't have cancer, and when my brother wasn't in college.

I said " its mom, the doctor told me she only had a few more weeks to live"

Everything went silent, then finally he said "I'm coming home"

I said "okay"

Then the call ended. I went downstairs and gave my mom a huge hug.

My mom said "I know the doctor told you Amy, and don't worry about it at all, everything will be fine"

I started crying again, I couldn't hold any more of it in. She grabbed my and brung me in for a hug I cried into her soft, warm arms.

Finally she said "we will make the best of the time I have left"

I smiled and said "okay, I love you mom"

She said "I love you too Amy"

I didn't tell her Jeremy was coming, cause I knew she's be really surprised when he got here.

(Jeremy)
After I got off the phone with Amy... I cried for so long. I then suddenly felt bad for going away to collage leaving my sick mom behind and for Amy to take care of her.

I cried all night long, I woke up with my eyes swollen from crying. I packed some clothes to last me a few weeks, and then got in my truck and drove home.

(Amy)
When Jeremy's truck pulled up I was so happy. I haven't seen my brother in a while and it gives mom, him and me some time before... she... dies.

My mom was so happy she flew up out of her chair and ran outside.

Jeremy and her hugged for a long time, then I came out and gave him a big hug, "I really did miss my big brother" I said to him.

"and I missed my little sister" he said smiling at me, then he looked at mom and said "I missed my mom too" she smiled at him and then started to cry.

Well all hugged and she soon stopped crying.
