We all took Eric to see the doctors today, he's been getting worse so we took him to get scans done. We have been waiting for 2 hours and still no results, if I lost my brother I don't know what I would do.
"Brathstone family?" The doctor said strangely.
"We have the test results so if you want to come to my office it's this way. "
" Now, Eric's tumor has spread and at this late stage we can't afford to do surgery or risk death, I'm sorry "
Mum was crying but not me I just walked out to the cafeteria, I needed to be alone.
" Mrs Brathstone I'm very sorry."
" how long does he have"
" 3-6 months at the most "
" he's only 18 " mum said while crying into Angelia's shoulder.
We went to pick Eric up from the waiting room.
" it spread didn't it.."
" yes hunny, he said 6 months at the most"
He didn't cry just held it in, I know he did it for mum.
When we got home I walked to my room, knowing that if I go down stairs I'll regret it. Eric walked into my room moments later " you look after them when I'm gone okay, don't let them cry over me "
" I wouldn't "
" is this actually real, am I going to die at 18, tell me It's just a nightmare. Please "
" It's just a nightmare. I'll wake you up soon " i said quietly.
