I woke up in the middle of the night gasping for air. I couldn't breathe. Carson heard me and soon everyone was in my room.

My mom took me to the hospital with Drew and River. Drew held my hand the whole time while River pushed hair out if my face and rubbed my shoulder.

"Help!" My mom screamed. Doctors ran over and took me. They put an air mask on my fave and I felt them cut Into my side.

After that I was out. Am I dead?

I opened my eyes and saw my mom by my side crying. "Mom?" She looks at me "Callie, your awake." She says. "What happened?" I ask.

"Your lungs filled with fluid, hunny, you have cancer." She says. "What? No, am I gonna die?" I ask with tears in my eyes. "The doctors have a treatment plan so you should be ok."

"Chemotherapy." A doctor said. "Be aware you will lose your hair." She said and left. "Can I leave?" I ask. "Yeah your brother's went to get food, I'll call them." Mom said and walked away.

I have cancer? How? How do I get cancer?

A few days go by and I feel normal. All my brothers know except Carson. He'll freak out if he knew.

"Drew! Me and your father are leaving for Chicago to visit uncle Jack. I need you to make sure everyone gets to school, isn't out to late and Callie has to go to chemotherapy every week so take her! I love you guys bye!" She hollers.

I run out following her. "Mom come on please! I'll be gone for a few days." I plead. "I'm not letting you leave when your grounded, and not to California." She says. "Love you hunny." "I hate you!" I yell and run inside.

I could tell everyone heard me so I run upstairs to my room and slam my door.

After a few hours I start getting ready to get my things from Anthony. I slip my shoes on and sneak out my window. Once I get to the ground I start walking.

I look across the street and see a guy, moving into the empty house. Oh...my..God..that's not just a guy, that's a picture perfect guy. As I walk past the house he walks up to me.

"Hey." He says. "Hi." He smiles. "Im Dylan." "I'm Callie, your moving in?" I ask. "Yeah me my mom and my sister's. You live around here?" He asks. "I'm the blue house at the end of the Street."

"Who do you live with?" He asks. "My parents and my brothers." I say. "How many brothers?" He asks. "Uh, six. Ben, Drew, Ashton, Miles, River, and Carson. "Wow."

"So where are you going?" He asks. "My ex boyfriends, to get my things." I say. "I got you, come on." He goes and jumps in a car, and motions me to come on. What the hell, why not. I go jump in and we drive off.

"Take a right, no your other right! No! Do you not know left from right?" I ask laughing. "I do I just forgot." He says smiling.

"That house." I say pointing to Anthony's house.

We walk up to the door and Dylan puts his arm around me. Anthony opens the door and is shocked. "Who's that?" He asks. "He's just a-" I started talking. "I'm her boyfriend, can she have her things please so we can go?" He asks.

"Here." He says handing me my things. He slams the door in our faces. "What was that?" I ask. "Well it didn't seem like you wanted to see him, so I just helped." He said.

"Do you want to go out tonight?" He asks. "Tonight?" I ask. "Yeah, let go out. Show me Arizona." My mom's gone and my brothers are treating me like a little kid, why not. "Sure, I'd like that."

After an hour of hanging out just sitting in his car River called me. "Hello?" I say. "Where are you!" He asks. "Im getting my things back from Anthony, I'll be home soon." I say. "Hurry." He says.

"Sorry it was my brother River."

"Why isn't it your parents calling?" He asks. "They left to Chicago this morning." I say.

"Is that bad?" He asks. "Keeps them away from me." I say. "My brothers are gonna freak if I'm not home soon."

"I'll take you." He says and starts the car.

"That's my house." I say pointing to the dark blue house. "Only six houses down." He says and smiles.

"I'll see you?" I start. "Sunday?" He asks. "Sunday." I say and smile. I walk in the house and see all my brothers sitting in the living room.

"Hey guys." I say. "Who was that guy?" Miles asks. "Oh, his name Dylan, he's moving in the neighborhood."

Drew gets a call from Ben and we put him on speaker phone. "Hey Ben what's up." Drew says. "If I'm on speaker take me off." He says serious. Drew does and talks to him.

Drew hangs up the phone and looks terrified. "What happened?" Carson asks. "Guys, a plane from Arizona to Chicago just crashed. Two flew out today and we don't know if It was mom and dad's until the airport calls us." He says.
