Killed by Cancer

Chapter 28

I opened my eyes as my alarm blared out. I turned it off and went back to sleep. I felt Kylie shake my shoulders. I moaned out loud and opened my eyes slightly.

"It's 4:45, they're coming soon," She said.

"Two more minutes," I said.

I saw that she was fully dressed. I heard the knock on the door which made me jump. I couldn't be bothered moving. I fell back to sleep almost instantly.

I felt another shake to my shoulders. This time it wasn't Kylie.

"I've put Ariana downstairs on your couch, she's fast asleep," Tyler said.

"Uh huh," I said, too tired to talk.

I didn't have the effort to keep my eyes opened and I was about to fall asleep before Tyler began to talk again.

"We've put all the oxygen canisters in the car and your luggage too, everyone's in the car waiting for you so we can go," Tyler said.

"Uh huh," I replied again, not really paying attention to what he was saying.

I was about to fall asleep when I felt Tyler pick me up. He carried me outside and I felt the cold breeze hit my legs, arms and stomach which made me cuddle up to Tyler.

I opened my eyes slightly to see that we were now in the car. Tyler put on his seatbelt and that's the last thing I remembered before I fell into a deep sleep.

I opened my eyes as I felt my body move abruptly. I was in Tyler's arms and I had been sleeping in his arms with my legs on Landon. Tyler acknowledged I was awake and he gave me a smile. I got up slowly and got off his lap. I sat besides Tyler and Landon was on the other side. I put on my seatbelt.

Kylie was sat at the front and she was talking to Dean who was driving. She looked back at us and smiled.

"You're awake," she said.

"I'm awake," I confirmed.

"It's 8:30 so you're not too late," she said.

"I need the toilet," I said.

"You'll have to wait till we get to the next service station," Dean said.

"I need to get changed as well," I said.

"You can do that when we next stop," Tyler said.

"I'm hungry too," I said.

"Jesus, Alexa! You've only just woke up!" Landon exclaimed.

I slapped his lap, not too hard of course. I put my feet up onto the car seat and I hugged my knees.

"Did you get my luggage?" I asked.

"Yeah don't worry we got everything," he said.

We finally arrived at the service station and Dean parked up. Tyler got out of the car so I could get out. I pulled the bag with the oxygen tank inside with me. I was bare foot and I felt the warmth of the ground. Dean opened the boot of the car for me and I pulled out a pair of trainers and an outfit from my suitcase.

I headed into one of the shops with Kylie and I went to the bathroom. I got changed into a pair of denim shorts and a white tank top. I put on my trainers and I left. Kylie and I headed back to the car and sat in. Only Dean was in the car.

Kylie sat next to me at the back. Minutes later, Landon and Tyler came back with a big bag of food. Tyler sat next to me and Landon sat in the passenger seat at the front. Landon handed us each grilled cheese sandwich that were each neatly packaged.
