ON MONDAY WE, MY mom, my dad and I, went to  the doctor for the results. I thought it was nonsense my dad also came  but my mom thought it was important.

I wasn't  scared for the results. I felt fine so there was probably nothing wrong.  Of course there was a change, I understand that, but that change is  little.

'so are you nervous' my mom, who was obviously nervous, asked

'no why would I be' I smiled while shrugging

'okay' she put her hand on my leg.

Yesterday  Nikki and I hung out in my room. She told me that it was best to break  up with Alex since he's an asshole. We agreed that I was going to talk  to him in the lunch break at school today and then quietly suggest we  should break up.

I wasn't going to do it  because honestly, I was scared for his reaction. Maybe he will get  aggressive and really hit me this time.  Or maybe he's nod and we are  really over.

'Ava Jones' a doctor called

'that's us' my mom said while we stood up and walked to the doctor

'Doctor Verses' she introduced herself

'Ava'

We then walked in her little room and sat on the three chairs in front of the desk that was covered in papers.

'so first of all, how are you feeling' the doctor smiled. She seemed young and nice. I liked her already.

'I'm  still tired but the bruising around my arm disappeared. And the  nosebleeds, yeah, they're still a lot' I scoffed and she nodded

'so  I got the blood test back' she looks at her computer screen. Her face  made me nervous, she had this worried look on her face.

'Ava, we think you have leukaemia'

My jaw dropped and eyes start to water

'Excuse me, I have what?'

'We don't know for sure but you have almost all of the symptoms and you're blood seems to have the cancer cells in it.' She told me

'If you don't know for sure why would you tell me?' I scoff

'Because, Ava, today we will operate you. We will take a bit of your bone marrow, that will show us if you really have Leukaemia.'

I let out a deep sigh

'And if I do?'

'Than we will take you in' she smiled

I turned around to my mom who was crying

'Oh baby' she pulled me into a hug. I was still confused.

'She'll be operated when?' I heard my dad asked

'When she's sober, when did she last eat?'

'This morning, at 8 I think' I tell her and she nodds

'Than we will operate you around 4 O'clock. Before that you'll have to stay in a room that nurse Aaliyah will set up for you on the 6th floor' she told me and I nodded

'Will you operate you?' She nodded.

After that I went to the room.

'Hello Ava, I'm nurse Aaliyah' An old lady told me 'this is your room, doctor Verses will get you when their ready okay'

We exchanged smiles and she then walked away

'Oh Victor' my mom hugged my dad

'Mom, it's not sure. There is a chance I will be fine' I rolled my eyes
