My bad life turned good

Chapter sixteen:

Emma's p.o.v.

Last night I got the worst call that I could've gotten. The call that I got was from Abby's brother named Stephen, he called me to tell me that his sister and my best friend Abby had been taken to the hospital because her cancer came back. Stephen was very upset about finding out that Abby's cancer came back, I could hear it in his voice when he was talking to me.

The words that he said to me kept on replaying in my head all night, which resulted in me barely getting any sleep. I might've only slept for about an hour or two, which wasn't good because I have to go to school.

After I woke up and got ready for school, I went downstairs to the kitchen, my dad was still home. I sat down at the table.

"Good morning Emma," my dad said.

"Good morning dad," I said.

"How'd you sleep?" He asked.

"Not the greatest," I said.

"Why's that?" He asked.

"I got a phone call from Abby's brother named Stephen last night," I said.

"What about?" He asked.

"Well about two years ago when Abby was fourteen she had just overcame cancer, but then Wednesday night it came back and her parents, her brothers and her friend and boyfriend Steve took her to the hospital, and well her cancer came back," I said.

"Are you going to be visiting her?" He asked.

"Yes," I said.

"When?" He asked.

"This afternoon after school's done," I said.

"Who else is going with you?" He asked.

"Kyle and Dan," I said.

"Would you like to stay home today?" He asked.

"Don't you have work today?" I asked.

"I actually booked today off ," he said.

"Well I guess I'll stay home," I said.

"Alright," he said, then asked, "how are you getting to the hospital?"

"I'm going to text Dan and ask him and Kyle to pick me up on their way to the hospital," I said.

"Okay."he said.

After I had breakfast I went upstairs to my room and took out my phone. I was about to text Dan when my phone rang. It was Kyle.

*phone convo*

"Hey Kyle," I said.

"Hey Emma," he said.

"What's up?" I asked.

"Not much. What about you?" He asked.

"Relaxing right now and still trying to understand what happened to Abby and why it had to happen to her," I said.

"Are you going to be coming to school today?" He asked.

"No, because after I told my dad what had happened to Abby he said that I could stay home," I said.

"Okay, so Dan and I have to pick you up after school?" He asked.

"Yes please if you guys don't mind," I said.

"Of course we don't mind, well I should be going," he said.

"Okay I'll see you and Dan later, have fun at school," I said.
