Emily's POV

Today all the guys are going to have a boys day. I'm just gonna chill at home, maybe go to Starbucks and the mall.

"Bye baby, call me if anything happens please." Matt says.

"I'll be fine, go have fun with your friends!" I say pushing him out the door.

I decide I should get dressed. I put on a pair of pink Pom shorts and a white tank top tucked in. I did my makeup and fixed the little hair I had. Then, I grabbed my phone and purse, slipped on my Steve Madden sandals and left.

First I drove to Starbucks. While I was ordering I saw one of my old friends, Alyssa, walk in.

"Alyssa?" I say.

"Emily?!" She yells smiling.

I run to her and give her a hug.

"Let me order my coffee and we can talk." She says.

I grab my venti cotton candy frappuchino and take a seat by Alyssa.

"How have you been?" She asks.

"Um not too good." I say.

"Oh no, why not?"

"I have cancer."

"Oh my god Emily I thought you cut your hair for someone else. I'm so sorry. And I'm also so sorry we lost contact. With you being home schooled and all."

"No no it's fine. I'm fine." I say smiling.

"That's good."

"How about you?"

"I'm doing great." She says, when her phone starts to ring.

"Hey can you wait one sec?" She asks me and I nod.

I was drinking my frap when she came back.

"I'm really sorry, but I have to go, my mom needs my help with something. Do you still have the same number?" She says.

"Yeah text me anytime." I say.

She gave me a hug and left.

I stayed though, drinking my frap thinking about my life and how much it has changed. I finally decided I should leave.

I got in my car and started to drive. I was feeling really light headed and was getting really tired.
I should go home.

Surprisingly, I made it home. I went upstairs to see Sierra sitting in her room.

"Your home!" I yell and go hug her.

"Yep! I missed you! What's with the new hair." She asks. Mom must not have told her..

"Sierra, I- um I have cancer." I say.

"Shut up. No you don't."

"Yes I do. But it's leaving I just have to keep taking my medicine." I say and pull my medicine out of my purse to show her.

"Oh my gosh. My little sister has cancer." She says and starts crying.

"Please don't cry. Sierra." I say and hug her.

"I'm fine." I whisper.

The rest of the night we just hung out and watched movies.

*the next day*

I walked down stairs to see Cameron up.

"Morning Cammy." I say.

"Morning.." He says.

"What now?"

"I have to tell you something Emily."

"Okay." I say and take a seat at the table across from him.

"I got my own house and I'm moving out."

"W-w-what?" I manage to say through my tears.

"I'm sorry. I'm almost 20. I need my own house. I still love you."

"You can't. Please I need you."

"I know, but it's only 2 hours away from here. You can stay once in a while." He says smiling.

"I don't know what to say."

"Please don't be mad."

"I'm gonna go take a shower." I say.

"When you turn 18 you can move in with me."

"I could be dead by then, Cameron." I say and turn around to go upstairs but he pulls me back.

"Stop turning the cancer card on everything Emily. Your cancer is almost gone so don't pull that with me." He says.

"Oh so your a doctor now? Cameron you don't even know how much I need you. I don't pull the cancer card on everything. In fact I never do. I don't feel bad for myself at all." I say.

"You have Matt now. Forget about me. He means more to you more than I will ever be. I'm just your stupid brother. You would rather have taylor as a brother than me."

"I can't believe you just said that." I say and run up to my room making sure I lock the door.

I start to cry. How could he say that? I love him just as much as I love tay. Wait I love Cameron more. Cameron is the best person ever. I just wish he didn't choose now to move out, but everything isn't about me.

"Emily let me in." Cam says

"Please, just leave me alone."

"No, I'm sorry. I didn't mean what I said."

"You obviously did or you wouldn't say it. Leave me alone Cameron."

"Em please."

"Cameron no."

He finally left me alone. No one understands me anymore to be honest. Matthew and I aren't the same anymore. He just wants to make sure I'm okay. All the guys left late last night, even Matt and Taylor surprisingly. But There is only one person I know who can understand me, Carter.

I decide to call him.
*phone call*

"Hello?" Carter says.

"Hey."

"What's wrong? Why are you crying?"

"I don't know. I'm a mess. Cameron's moving out and he told me i like taylor better than him when I don't. He says I pull the cancer card on everything. I'm sorta just done with life right now."

"Don't let yourself be depressed okay? Cam is just stressed. I'm moving with him and so is nash.."

"Oh." I say.

"I wish you could move with us but Cameron says no."

"Why would he say that?"

"He doesn't want you getting more sick."

"Why does no one realize I'm fine?"

"Your so strong em, I know you are fine and you will be. And I know things with Matt are different, but I know soon your love story will continue. Just let this cancer thing blow off. I promise you soon you will be cancer free." Carter says.

"How do you know?" I ask.

"I'm always right."

I smile. "I hope."
