I haven't left my moms side all day. It's Friday and school starts Monday. I want to spend as much time with her as possible. I made her breakfast and lunch as she lay in bed next to me.

"What movie should I put on next?" I ask her and she sighs, well try's to sigh. She ended up coughing. "what's wrong, do you need anything?" I ask frantically.

"No I'm fine," she assures, "what I need is for yo to go out and enjoy yourself. Go out with Harry or something." she says with a horse voice.

"I'm okay mom, I like being with you."

"I know honey but I don't need you to worry about me." she says.

"I'll leave if you tell me what the doctor really said." I challenge and she gets guilt and looks down. "that's what I thought."

I continue to focus on the end of our movie. My mom grabs my hand and gives it a squeeze. I look up and her eyes are tearing up.

"Mom?"

"You really want to know what the doctor said?" she asks with a firm tone and I nod, "he said that we caught the cancer too late and that it's grown too large to do anything about it. He's given me painkillers and pretty much told me We have to wait it out to see what happens." she says with some anger mixed into the sadness of her voice.

I'm too shocked to say anything else. I though this was treatable. I thought that we would need chemo or other medications to make her better. But I guess she won't be getting much better. Maybe there's still hope.

Tears start rolling down my cheeks as I realize I'm going to lose my mom. The women who changed my diapers, who took me shopping for school clothes each year, who fussed over picture day and always worried about me and my health.

"Now go and live your life while your young." She says.

"You can't expect me to leave now, can you?" I sob.

"Yes, go. I don't want to hold you back." she says, "go enjoy the last bit of fall break. I need to sleep anyways." she pulls the blanket higher an rolls over.

I sit there staring at her for a moment and finally get out of her bed. I grad my phone and leave the house. I won't bother her if she doesn't want me to but I'm not locking myself in my bedroom with only me and my thoughts.

When I open the door Harry is walking up the sidewalk. He gives me a smirk and pulls me in for a hug.

"Where are you going?" he asks.

"To find you," I answer with my now puffy but dry face, I decided that I'm not going to tell him this new information. "my mom basically told me to go enjoy the rest of break and to stop annoying her." I smile, though it's hard.

"Hmm," he says and plays with the rips of my fingers, "I wasn't gonna go, I just wanted to stay here with you and your mom but I know where we can go."

"Not a party Harry." I groan.

"No no, Jace and I were invited to his friends cabin. It's on a lake, nice and relaxing." he says and I try and decide if I want to go, "or we can stay here and distract you some more." he says and pulls me closer.

I laugh and smack his hands away from me. Memories from last fill my mind and I keep a goofy smile on my face.

Maybe I should go, my mother would never let me stay the night with Harry but I can push for a later curfew.

"Alright," I agree, "how far away is it?"

"About Two hours I would say," he says and then grins widely, "I'll drive."
