NASH'S POV
We took the train back after paying the hill a little visit. I saw this straight couple flinch upon seeing me holding Cameron's hand. I just became nice and smiled at them.
Being a gay couple isn't always candies and rainbows, not everyone will accept you.
We sat down
"Don't mind them, you're perfect." Cam whispered. I guess he noticed the straight couple's reaction.
We got home and saw that there was a man sitting on our dining room table, eating a slice of lasagna. He looked at me, I smiled. He was kind of cute, I have to admit. He has big, brown eyes, I think we was around 21 to 22, a bit muscular and had curly hair, those were some nice curls. I continued walking to the kitchen and saw my mom. Cam went to my room.
"Mom, who's the man on the table?" I asked, kissing her cheek.
"Oh honey, that's David, he's your nurse."
"He's cute."
"I know, isn't he?" My mom giggled.
"I love you." I chuckled.
"After he checks on you, call your siblings and Cameron, I made lasagna." She said.
"Okay." I replied as I walked over to the table where David was sitting.
"Hi." I shyly greeted him, taking a seat.
"Hi Nash. How are you feeling?" He asked, putting the plate aside.
"Fine."
"Any headaches? Nosebleeds? Fainting?"
"None."
"That's good." He smiled, wrapping a rubber thing around my upper arm, I guess he'll be taking blood from me.
"How are you and your boyfriend?" He asked, making small talk.
"We're great."
"That's nice. Okay, you'll feel a slight pinch and burn." He warned, pressing the needle against my skin. I nodded, then he inserted the needle. I flinched a little, I closed my eyes, trying to think of something else.
"Done." He said, pulling the needle away from me.
"How young are you again? 14?" He asked.
"16" I chuckled.
"Wow, you look so young." He smiled.
He poured the blood into a tube, that was attached to this little machine. Oh technology, now there's a portable platelet counter?
I saw the expression on his face fade.
"What is it?" I asked.
"Your platelets...they're not doing well."
"Okay..." I sighed.
"I want you to drink more fluids from now on, a lot. I'll come back tomorrow to check if they improve or not, if your platelets still wont go up, you'll need another transfusion." He explained.
"Okay." I weakly smiled.
He started keeping his things, I got up and got myself a glass of water.
"Oh uhm..David?" I said as soon as he opened the door.
"Yeah?"
"Thanks."
He smiled then went on his way.

"Mmm. This is good mom!" Hayes said with a full mouth.
"Yeah, it is good Mrs Grier." Cam smiled.
We were all eating, I was sitting beside Cam and Hayes was sitting beside Sky. Mom was at the small side of the rectangular table.
"Nash, how were your results?" Mom asked.
"My platelets went down." I calmly say while chewing.
"Do you need another transfusion?"
"He's coming back tomorrow to see if they go up. If they keep going down, I'll need another." I said, I felt Cam grip on my hand.
"Well, you should drink a lot of water, honey."
"Okay."
There was a moment of silence. Skylynn didn't say anything, which is weird. Maybe something's wrong. I'll talk to her after dinner.
"Mom... I have something to admit." Hayes broke the silence. Hayes is about to come out. I feel proud, he's finally worked up the courage.
"I'm gay and I'm dating Aaron." He added.
"Aww. It's okay honey, you and Aaron make a cute couple." Mom calmly replied, which was ironic, because I almost choked.
"You're dating Aaron already?!" I burst.
"I tried to tell you but you won't listen." He nagged. I stuck my tongue at him and he did the same. Sky giggled.

After we all ate dinner, I helped clean up. When we were done, I went in Sky's room.
"Hey." I smiled, she was playing with her toy horse.
"Hi Nash."
"Is something wrong?"
"Yes."
"Can you tell me?" I asked, putting her on my lap.
"Daddy said you were dying." She said. What? Since when did dad enter the picture?
"Daddy talked to you?"
"Yes."
"When?"
"When you were at the hospital."
My heart stopped. I was confused, angry, and sad at the same time. So he can talk to my sister about me dying and not even say a word to me? If anyone's a pussy here, it's him. He can't face his own son.
I'm being harsh... But to hell with him, I'm not patching things up with him anymore. Screw him.
"Is it true?" Sky asked.
"Maybe. I'm not sure yet."
"I don't want you to die!" She hugged me tightly. Tears started to form in my eyes.
"I don't want you to go! I want you to stay and play horsey with me! You're my favorite Nash! I don't want you to die!" She screams, crying.
"It's okay Sky, don't cry." I sobbed, rubbing her back. Skylynn cries harder and harder. I carry her to her bed.
"Shhh. It's okay Sky. I'll still be here, now it's time for bed." I whispered, fixing her hair.
"Can you wait for me to fall asleep? Please?" She asked.
"Of course." I answered. She snuggled to me, still sobbing.
Eventually she drifted to sleep, her sobbing stopped.
I looked down to see her face...
I'm going to miss Skylynn...
I don't move for a couple more minutes. She starts to drool on my shirt and I chuckle.
I got up, careful not wake her up.
"Goodnight Sky. I love you." I whisper before placing a kiss on her forehead. I quietly walked my way out of her room, turning the lights off.
