-Jordan's p.o.v-

I could barely keep my eyes open as I was very sleepy, I just wanted sleep. I open my eyes a bit more and stare up at the doctor as he informed us that he has bad news about me.

"Your medical records show that you have been taking some pills that have been prescribed to you for awhile now, and as we did a few scans and small procedures on you, we have found something inside your body, lungs to be precise, and this isn't good, but possibly curable for your state." The doctor said slowly for me and the rest of us to understand.

"What could be curable, what do you mean?" my mother spoke up looking at him questioningly, I wanted to reach out to her and place my hand on hers, but I couldn't find the strength to yet.

"Mrs. Heather, It appears to be your daughter has a form of lung cancer, she has had it for quite some time now, and she only has about a record of time before she passes, unless we come up with a quick way to help her stay out stronger." He informed her, and I looked at her as she started crying silently, with a hand in her hair. I weakly lifted up my hand and brought it to her face, wiping one of the many tears.

For some reason, I feel calm about this, like I have already known this was going to happen. I weakly look over to everyone else and see some looking down, with watery eyes, clearly not knowing if they should be here or not.

"How much longer?" Luke speaks up and looks dead at the doctor and nurse, he gets no answer so he repeats himself louder, making them taking aback.

"Until her time? I believe we have came to about five more weeks." he says confirming himself, and gave him a professional look, pushing up his glasses.

The only thought that kept racing through my mind, was 'why me?'. It was my turn to cry, so I look away from everyone and stare at the wall, watching it go blurry then clear again from my tears, surely to leave streaks down my face.

"That's around when her birthday is." Luke says thinking to himself, and I didn't dare look over at him, I couldn't.

"Ms. Jordan, if you have anymore questions, we will be just outside, here are some new pills we have prescribed to you to help you feel less pain." and with that they walked out the room, leaving us in a deadly silence, no one dared to speak at first, as we were all lost in our own thoughts.

I felt arms go around me softly, and I looked up expecting my mom, but came to a head full of brown hair, Calum.

"Please.." was all her whispered and I heard him sniffle. I gave him a small hug back, carefully, not to pull out any wires.

"I'm sorry." I breathed out, letting more silent tears slip down my face, they shouldn't of came here with me, we shouldn't of came here to began with. I knew I had cancer but I never wanted it confirmed, and I sure as hell didn't want anyone to find out.

I let him go, and rested my arms by my side, while Calum stayed by my side.

"honey, I know we haven't really been here and there for each other, but just know I will become a better mother to you, I love you Jordan and I just will do anything for you to appreciate me these last few weeks, I want you to go by happy, and I want you to know imalways and forever here for you." My mom says to me grabbing onto my hand, squeezing it, I squeeze it back.

"Mom, I already do appreciate you, I always have, even dad now that he's gone. I love you too mom, thank you." I tell her, looking at her, and I instantly looked away, seeing her like this hurts.
