Making a Difference (sequel to PDA)

Ch.28: Making of the Arrival

~Chris~

I was beyond nervous about going back to school, the chemo had been making me severally weak but I think my body was telling me it was time to go be social once more I had. I drove my car to school and I parked it. I walked through the doors and that's when I noticed everybody was staring at me. It was making me quite uncomfortable actually. I noticed Albany at her locker and I tapped her shoulder. She hugged me tight. "You're back" She had a huge grin and I noticed the small bump. She was rubbing it nonstop. "How are you feeling soon to be mother" I nudged her and She just shrugged her shoulders. "Look I should get to my locker and head to class" I told Albany and Albany just smiled at me. I walked to my locker and grabbed my stuff, I headed to my math class and I saw Levi sitting there tapping his desk. I sat down next to him. Levi gave me a small smile. "So you finally convinced dad to let you go to school" Levi commented to me and I just nodded. It took me all week to convince my dad that I wasn't going to die from going to school. I was still nervous over the fact that I could die and leave everyone behind. I thought about everything. Next thing, I knew I saw that Arthur kid was smiling at Grace. I was happy that Grace was breaking out of her nerves and shyness. I walked out of the school, school was done and I found myself on the field of the soccer team. I watched them run through drills and I saw the coach. I waved at him and he ran to catch up to me. "How are they doing" I asked the coach watching Andy practice catching the balls. "Good but the team misses you" Coach told me and I just smiled. "I miss soccer and the team too" I rubbed the back of my neck. "Colleges wants to give scholarships for soccer" I informed the coach and the coach smiled at me. "Good, so you still want to do soccer in college" Coach asked me and I just stared at my old teammates. "Yeah if I survive this cancer" I said while messing with the beanie on my head. "Chris, you are one tough kid, you will make it. Don't worry and when you get better then there will always be a spot on the team and you are still the captain of the team Chris" Coach patted my shoulder and ran towards my teammates. I sat down on the bleachers and I sighed to myself and I looked down at my hands. I felt really peaceful being here at the soccer field watching the team play and practice against each other. I saw Arthur come rushing down the field and he just stared at me. "You're Chris Styles" He exclaimed to me and I smiled at him a little bit. "And you are Arthur right" I asked him and Arthur seemed so impressed that I knew who he is but come on. I know everybody that's on every team. It's not like I don't want to get to know everyone in school. "Wait how do you know who I am" Arthur asked me while drinking a bottle of water and sat down next to me. "I just know people and you are on the junior varsity team right" I said to him and Arthur just nodded his head. "Oh by the way don't break my sister's heart" I told him while I waited for Andy to leave the showers. "Who's your sister" Arthur asked me with fear in his voice. "Don't worry I'm not going to kill you but if you betrays her then I might have to embarrass you. I mean Grace is like a little sister to me so keep that in mind" I told him just as Andy came out of the locker room. He waved at me before and I said bye to Arthur patting his shoulders. "Work on your kick if you going to be a striker" I informed him before grabbing my bag and saying bye to the coach. "I can't believe you going back to school. How was the vacation life" Andy questioned me and I rolled my eyes. "Oh, shut up. It was like pure torture and not to mention, when I get home, I'll probably crash on the couch and I was kept up with my homework and stuff" I shrugged my shoulders. Everything was changing, Grace was going to be dating, Albany was going to have kid. Levi is in love and Lilith has her very first girlfriend who happened to be her very first crush in the entire world. Here am scared to die. "Have you ever thought about death" I asked Andy and Andy hmmed. "Yeah when I was 12 and my dad beat me up to the point that I was in coma for a month" Andy just shrugged his shoulders. We hopped into my car. Andy sat in the passenger seat. "I can't help but think about death and everyone is trying to be positive but how many times do I get cancer and survive it" I sighed while rubbing the back of my neck. "I don't know but I do know that family cares about you and the thought of your death will have a big impact on everyone's life" Andy said to me and I just nodded. "Why aren't you trying to be positive" I turned towards Andy and Andy shrugged his shoulders. "Because I been through hell and back and I just stopped being positive when my father beat me up to the point of no return" Andy stated to me like it was obvious. "I'm sorry about your father" I apologized to Andy and we both entered the house. "It's fine but I was always jealous about your father and your uncles and such" Andy told me before heading towards his room. I went into my room and plopped down onto my bed. I felt my eyes closed shut.
