Im Possible

One week later...

Avalon walked into Carter's room and saw him playing with his fingers. She sat down in the chair next to him and waited for him to talk.

"You're different than everyone else who tries to help me," Carter said after a moment.

"How am I different?" Avalon asked.

"Most people would just jump in and ask me questions and most of them aren't this close to me," Carter said gesturing at how close Avalon was sitting next to him.

"Well, I like taking a different route and do things my way," she said.

"Why don't you pity me?" he asked.

"I don't because I know you'll do just fine and I know you'll pull through this," she said.

He looked at her and she saw that his eyes weren't brown, but they were dark green. "It's impossible."

"Hey, don't be negative. Even the word impossible says, "I'm possible!" It's a well-known fact," Avalon said.

Carter chuckled. "I'll try, so...when is your dad leaving?"

Avalon stayed silent. It was Wednesday and one week had passed and Toby was leaving on Friday, which was two days away. She was devastated but she needed to pull it together.

"I'm sorry I asked, I shouldn't-"

"No it's fine. He's leaving on Friday," she said with a sad smile.

"Well, at least he's only going for three months," he said and his voice cracked.

"Carter? You're parents are..." she said the small nod he gave her. "I'm so sorry."

He sniffled. "It's fine."

"Is that why you're sometimes not cooperative with others?"

"Yeah, I envy them for having a family and having picture-perfect lives when I don't. Just look at me: I have no parents because they died in a car accident and to top it all off I have goddamn cancer!"

At that moment, Avalon pulled him into a hug. He was surprised but returned the gesture.

"I'll be there for you every step of the way till the end," she whispered.

He smiled. She truly was a good friend even though she's only known him for the past week she still cared for him. Everyone in the hospital could see it.

"Thank you Ava," he said softly.

Toby and Emily walked into The Brew and sat down on a couch in the back. They had decided to hang out together before Toby left to California for the next three months. It had been hard on everyone, but they all knew he needed the money for him and Avalon. They ordered their drinks and Emily looked at him.

"So, who offered you the job again?" Emily asked.

"My boss. He thought I was fit for the job," Toby said.

"But you had no idea it was going to be three months before you said yes," she said.

He nodded. "I don't want to be away from Avalon that long."

"I know I couldn't be away from Samara and Savvy for that long either," she said.

"Do you love Samara?" he asked.

"Of course," she said.

"When...you two go through your ups and downs, do you two make up?"

"We always will because we have too for Savvy and besides, we love each other," she explained.
