"So once we get your tests back you will be leaving the hospital." Said Doctor Kienas.

I was filled with joy. I finally beat cancer and I'll be able to finally go to my old flat that I haven't been in since I was 8. My dad Louis hugged me as he grabbed his phone to text my step father Harry.

I went to the closet and grabbed my suit case and started packing clothing and daily essentials. My dad started taking all the posters and decor of the hospital walls and putting them in a spare bag. I think I finally got everything as I brought it to the door. I felt quite sad looking at my empty room thinking of things that have happened here, as in memories, despite the cancer spreading through my blood, I met people like patients, doctors and nurses that feel like family.

"Hello, Lottie, Your tests are here." Said Dr. Kienas. "So your able to head home."

I gave her a hug as tears welled up in my eyes. I grabbed my suitcases, taking one last look at my room and walking away. We went down the elevator and went through the main entrance and walked out the doors. I took a deep breath of the fresh air finally getting outside. Harry was in the car by the main entrance to pick us up.

We entered the car as I buckled up and started driving to our flat.

"Dad?" I asked.

"Yes princess?" Dad replied

"Could you let mum know I made it.." I said with a sigh knowing my mum wouldn't care, she probably wants me dead.

"I'll try dear." Answered dad picking up his phone and dialling a number.

Louis's P.O.V

I dialled Eleanor's numbers and surprisingly she picked up.

"Louis? Why are you calling?" Questioned Eleanor.

"Charlotte is going home, she beat her cancer."

"Louis I told you a million times, I don't care about her!" She yelled through the phone. "I told you not to contact me cause I want nothing to do with her!"

"Charlotte asked me to tell you, I'm sorry El but think Char really wants a mother figure but you push her away."

"Maybe if we stayed together, Maybe if you weren't a god damn gay faggot! Then yeah maybe I would be a mother for her."

"You just fucking make me sick. Your such a cruel woman. I wonder why I ever was engaged with you!" I yelled hanging up the phone.

"Babe, are you okay?" Asked Harry soothingly.

"Yeah just El is such a fu-" I stopped myself from saying anything incase Charlotte hears.

"Dad I really don't care if you swear, I understand what mum is like now..." Charlotte sighed.

"Your mum used to be such a sweetheart. But I became famous met Harry in our band, modest kept us apart so I took the chance and left your mum for Harry, since then she's been dark. And almost a year later you came. Your mum is not a bad person she's just.. just healing."

"By what? Wanting to waste all her money from your divorce and from the insurance company's for gambling, cigarettes and alcohol? She sounds wonderful dad! Oh I also forgot wanting nothing to do with her own child wishing she would die from fucking Leukiema!" Charlotte raised her voice.

"Don't say that about your mum, ever again." I warn her as she huffed slouching back in her seat.

"Lou, Lots is right. She isn't such a great person.. Not because of your divorce she's just naturally one of those people." Added on Harry.

"I-I know.. I ju-" Before I could finish we pulled up to our flat as Charlotte jumped out of her seat. As we looked out front there stood my mum, step dad, dad, sisters, brother, Anne, Robin and Gemma with a big "Welcome home Charlotte" Banner.
