A V A

"Bye Ava, thanks for hanging out with me, hope you get better soon" Blake says while I exit his car

"Bye" I say back

Blake and I just went to the ice cream shop and then came back...well I told him I wanted to get back home because I wasn't feeling well but in reality I wasn't in the mood of going out, the only thing that was running through my mind was if Sam was okay

It was rude of me to go out with Blake when Sam is still over, I haven't hung out with Sam a lot because I've either been busy with my studies or I'm out hanging out with Rose, Conner or Blake

So that's why I had to think of a lie and say I was sick so I could get back home and spend time with Sam

When I open the front door the first thing I see Is Sam bent over near the stair case and he's coughing out blood and there are many more bruises on his body, he looks at me and the look that he gave me told me that he was asking for help.

I rush over to him and rub his back but he starts to cough more

His face then becomes pale and he falls to the floor with a thud

I start to panic and rush to get my phone from my pocket

I call the ambulance and they say they'll be here in 2 minuets

The ambulance arrives and they take Sam into the van and head to the hospital

I follow right behind them in my car

Once we reach to the hospital I probably look like a mess, I was crying throughout the ride to the hospital but the only thing that was running through my mind was if Sam was going to be okay

The nurses rush him into a room

"Excuse me ma'am you can't enter this room right now, we need to check on him" one of the nurses say while stopping me from going any further.

I huff and nod my head

I walk to one of the seats outside the door and I sit down on it

I cover my face with my hand and I cry even harder

I can't loose Sam, he's like a brother to me I've know him for my whole life

After a few minutes I hear someone clearing their through

I look up to see the doctor looking at me, in his left hand he held a clip board and he had a stethoscope hanging around his neck

"Are you here for Sam Johnson?" The doctor asks.

I just nod my head

"Are you a relative?" He questions once again

"Oh Umm—yeah, I-I'm his...uhh sister" I say

I just really need to know what's happening even if it means that I need to lie

"Where are you parents?"

"Uhh—they...Umm...oh yeah! They went for a business trip" I lie

The doctor looks at me sceptically but nods his head

"So I need to talk to you about what's happening to Sam, as you may already know he has stage 3 leukaemia..." He says

I nod

"Well, he may need to stay in the hospital, his condition is getting worse, we will need to check on him every 2 hours or so, there is a slight possibility he might survive. If it's possible call your parents and tell them what's happening, alright?" He says while patting my shoulder and giving me a sad smile then he walks away

Once all the information is in my head, I start bawling and crying even harder

This can't happen, he can't leave me

I run out of the hospital building and sit on one of the benches near a bus stop

I pull out my phone and call up Mrs. Johnson

It rings for a few seconds before she picks up the phone

"Hello Pumpkin, you haven't called me in such a long time!" She says

I sniffle and take a deep breath

"Ava? Are you okay? What's wrong, why are you crying?" She questions me

"He—he's in the hospital, Mrs Johnson, his condition is getting worse" I cry into my hand

"Who are you talking about honey, who's condition is getting worse?" She asks

"Sam, it's Sam he's—"

"Oh my god, my baby, what's wrong?, what happened, he was fine when he left for his treatment!" She too starts crying into the phone

"Today when I came home I just found him coughing out blood, he had so many bruises on his arms and face, he passed out so I called the ambulance a—and the d—d-doctor said that his condition is getting worse, there's a slimmer chance of him living" I sob into the phone

The only thing I hear is mumble something about her booking a ticket to California

The the line goes dead

I start to sob in my hands even harder

Sam can't leave, he just can't

I felt someone sit beside me on the bench and the person puts a hand on my shoulder

I look up to the person in shock and confusion

"What are you doing here?"
