Diseases and Pancakes

When I wake up the next day, I feel two arms wrapped around my waist. I look over to see a sleeping Corbyn tangled up in the sheets.
I laugh lightly and then slowly slip out of his grasp.
I tiptoe over to the bathroom and on the way there I get hit with a wave of dizziness. All of a sudden I forget whatever I was doing and Look around
Where am I?? Who's Room is this? Why is there a blonde guy in A bed?
The blondie  gets up and says to me
"Morning Alex."
"Who're you?" I ask
"Ummm Corbyn of course." He replied looking confused
Then I remember, Corbyn! Why Don't We! And My new manager!
"Ohh yeah Of course." I laugh
"Are you feeling okay, Alex?" Corbyn asks walking over to me.
"Yeah totally. I'm just kinda forgetful Ya know?" I say scratching the back of my neck
"No ones that forgetful. Did you bump your head or something?" Corbyn asks genuinely concerned.
"I'm fine, Corb. Trust me." I sigh
"Alright."
And with that he walks out of the room leaving me with the disease I know is slowly taking my mind.
I begin to panic when I realize what just happened. The doctor said it would happen but he didn't say it would be so soon.
I was diongnosed a year ago with a disease that slowly takes my mind and then eventually develops into a form of cancer. The disease is so rare it's hardly been studied. And often, I feel like a lab rat rather than a patient to doctors.
The doctor said I would forget little things in the beginning. For example where I put my Keys or where the tv remote was. Then he explained it would get worse and I would forget where I was going mid walk or I'd forget people I just met.
He said the second stage should come 3years after the time he diongnosed me. I guess it came sooner.
I'll have to tell the Boys somehow and tell my new manager I'll probably die. But how would I say it?
"Oh hey it's your new client by the way I might die within The next two years!"
I mean that's weird.
"You're dying?" A voice exclaims
I look up to see Zach standing in Me and Corbyns door way.
"Oh-- I uh-...." I trail off
"This is real right? Are you actually sick?!" Zach questions
"Yeah.... I am." I say looking down
Zachs Pov:
"Yeah.... I am." She says looking down
Those three short words hit me like a load of Bricks.
The one girl I like is going to die infront of me.
"H-how long have you known?" I ask
"A year." She says still looking down. Now I can see tears flowing down her face
"Hey. Don't cry. We can call your doctor and your mother. She'll understand." I say bringing her into a hug.
"N-No she won't. She's never home,Zach." Alex says through tears
"What do you mean?" I ask
"I-I m-mean after my father left its like she left as well. She's Bi-polar. S-she can be n-nice one minute and v-vengeful the next" Alex Stutters
"Don't worry. We'll figure something out." I sigh
We sit like this for who knows how long. Eventually Alex's Crying and hiccuping stops and I look over to find her asleep.
Gently I lay her down on Corbyns bed and Cover her up.
With that I walk out of the room and begin to wonder how to tell the Rest of the WDW crew.
Alex's Pov
Zach must have thought I fell asleep so he tucked me in and left.
I pick up my phone and text my doctor
Hello, my illness has taken a turn and I've forgotten where I was this morning. Should I begin with a stronger dose of my Morning Pill?"
My doctor replies immediately with
Yes begin to take two each morning, Alexandra.
I go to the bathroom to take my pills. I'm Just swallowing my water when I hear huge thumps coming up the stairs.
Turns out it's the whole WDW crew. The all Run through the door way at once, get stuck and fall on the floor in a heap of Limbs.
Despite my illness and Memory loss, I still burst out laughing.
"It's not that funny, Alex!" Jonah whines
"Y-yeah It is!" I exclaim between laughs
Daniel is the first one to ask the dreaded question once I'm done laughing my guts out.
"Alex? Is it true what Zach said? Are you slowly dying?"
"Y-yes, Daniel." I choke out
That's all the boys need to hear and then I'm wrapped in a group hug.
When we break apart, Jack speaks
"Don't worry. Everything will be better."
"Yea when I'm dead." I mumble
"What was that, Alex?" Corbyn asks
"N-Nothing! Wanna go eat breakfast?" I exclaim changing the subject.
Luckily the words "wanna go eat breakfast" distracts every 17/18 year old guy. And so we all race down stairs and cook pancakes.
As I'm sitting at the table eating my pancakes all I can think about is how little time I have left with these boys, especially Zach and Corbyn. The two of them have lit up my world more than anyone could imagine. And now I don't know how I'll leave them here.

Woah! Life got depressing for Alex and WDW. Next chapter I'm probably gonna write happier cuz Jeez is life super bad for Alex Right now.😂😖
