"Ava, I-I have stage 3 leukemia I've come to Cali for treatment" Sam say while looking down and fiddling with his hands.

I stand still in my spot and let all the information sink in, I then burst into tears.

I run up to him and hug him very tightly.

"I-I'm not really sure what to say but I want you to know that I care and I will always be by your side" I cry into his shoulder.

"It's fine, you don't need to say anything" he responds while kissing my forehead

"Uhh—if you don't mind me asking, when did your realize that you had—you know—cancer" I questioned looking at him with teary eyes.

"I actually found out a few days before you left, and I wasn't in the mood of telling you so I hid it from you, I'm sorry I shouldn't have done that" he says, he looked like he was on the verge of tears too.

"No, no it's fine I totally understand" I say while releasing from the hug.

he then looks at me and removes his hat from his head, my eye instantly widen.

he was completely bald, the once dirty blond hair that filled his head was...gone.

"It's cause of chemotherapy" he says while placing the hat on the sofa,I smile and give him another quick hug.

"Is this why your school let you come to Cali?" I ask.

he gives me a sad smile and nods his head.

"You should get some rest" I say.

he nods his head and starts walking to the guest room but only to be stopped by me.

"Uh if you need help with anything, I'm right here" I say while walking up to him but he only shakes his head.

"No its fine, I think I'll manage" he says while closing the guest room door.

I sat down on the sofa in the living room and watched a random show till Brian got back.

I was still in shock, my best friends that I've known for practically my whole life has cancer.

After what happened yesterday at the party I made sure to go check on Ava today morning.

When I reached her house she opens the door for me and if I'm being honest she didn't look very good...

I wanted to explain to her everything that happened at the party, so I went to her house and explained everything to her.

I still felt guilty, I don't even now why I felt guilty even though I didn't do anything but I wanted to give her something as an apology.

And that leads as to why I gave her a note and asked her to meet me at the park, I wanted to apologise for what happened at the party. Even thought nothing was my fault, I just needed to apologies.

When I came back home, all the different scenarios ran through my head about how she didn't want to meet me in the park, which lead me to stress out.

When I looked out of my window I saw her enter her room and sit down on her bed with a bunch of food surrounding her.

She then opens her laptop and starts watching something.

Oh thank god, maybe she didn't see the note or maybe she forgot to read it.

But just then I see her dig into her pocket and she removes the same letter I left on the counter.

I spoke too soon...

My eyes widen when I realise that she was opening the letter.

To save myself from embarrassment I ran to my window and shut my curtains.

Why the hell am getting nervous about seeing her, I just want to give her an apology right? Right, there no need to be scared or nervous.

When I calmed down I walked to my bed and thought on going out to buy myself some food because there was no snacks at home and I was getting hungry.

I went downstairs and got into my car, it was only 4 in the afternoon I'll have enough time to meet Ava at the park. 

After 15 min minutes I reach the nearest supermarket.

I get out of my car and get in and buy the foods that I wanted.

Once I was done I got back into my car and looked at my watch it's already 4:30.

I start driving back to my house.

Once I reach my house the first thing that I notice from across the lawn is Ava entering the house with another guy, who's that guy? Where'd they come from right now?

Why do I even care?

I walk into my house and before I could even think of what I was doing, I texted Ava and told her not to come to the park because I had something to do.

When I didn't have anything to do.

What's wrong with me? Why am I getting angry over such a little thing, it's her life she can do whatever she wants.

It's not that I care about her anyways.
