Julias POV
he just sits there his eyes moving rapidly back and forth. his body shaking and his eyes brimm'ed with tears. tears steam down myn own face, but not cause josh has cancer, because ive never seen him so lost. not lost in thought but lost in life.
michele is crying in chris's arms and chris has tears i his eyes but he is trying to stay strong for his family, but lets face it no one absolutly no one can even try to be strong right now because as john green once wisely wrote, thats the thing about pain it demands to be felt. no matter how haard we try not to feel the pain its impossible not to because its always their nawing at our hearts making us weak, too weak to continue to fight the pain.
"i know how hard this is and trust me i wish i had better news, but when you can we need to talk about treatment plans. Im so sorry im free to talk whenever you are ready" Dr. O'Crystal says remorceful
"thank you" Chris chokes out and Dr. O'Crystal leaves
"mom" josh says quietly i look up at him. michele stops and comes to his side "dont cry. please no more crying from anyone, because if im going to fight this you have to be strong too not just me, because i cant do this if you guys arent strong also. and its going to be hard for all of us and im gonna want to give up but you have to me strong and tell me not to and that im going to make it. okay? so no more crying." he finishes
michele smiles at him "no more crying"
"Good, now let's continue our game" he smiles
Gosh, I don't know how he just bounces back from need like this! he may just be hiding it but still I'm amazed. i just hope he is strong when it really maters later.

Josh's POV
lve only been out of the hospital two days and it already feels like my life has been consumed by cancer. my parents are pumping me full of the meds we were given even though i feel fine, i had to drop the movie i was about to start filming because i wont be strong enough to do the movie, i cant get around any where really because i cant walk without my crutches because i dont have a cast on anymore, so i basically just either sit in bed, on the couch, or at the dinning room table.
currently im sitting at the table with my leg up on a chair with my head in my hands. dad is sitting across from me while mom bakes something. all she does is bake now because she is always stressed lately probably because of me. Julia and Conner drove to the store to pick up some groceries for mom.
"josh?" i hear mom say my name
"hmm?" i lift my head
"are you okay?" she asks worriedly
"mom" i give her a weak smile "i tell you 50X a day, im fine"i reassure her
" i know but half the time thats not true"
i sigh " its just...just last week i was completely fine getting ready for my new movie, running every morning, . My life was fine, it was great in fact. and now i have stage IIB Osteosarcoma, two large tumors which broke my leg and are currently inoperable. then tomorrow we're going back to the hospital to meet a bunch of new doctors who are going to stick needles and operate on me for who knows how long. its just all going too fast. "
she sits down next to dad when I finish talking "i know how hard this is for you and how scary this is for you, but that group of doctors we are meeting tomorrow is some of the best in LA and their going to get you cancer free no matter how long it takes"
i nod "are you guys okay?"
"what?" they both ask
"are you guys okay? this is scary for you guys too not just me. i dont want you guys to be scared that im going to die, because im going to fight like hell no matter how bad or how good things get. "

"We know you will"
~*~*~*~*~
i put on a brave face as we sit in the hospitals conference room. only me and my parents can be here for whatever reason,so Conner and Jewles are sitting outside. i wish i was outside with them and not in here.
besides us three there are three other doctors here besides Dr.O'Crystal
"Good morning everyone" O'Crystal starts "we are all here today to discus's treatment plans for Josh here" he points to me " and these are Josh's parents Michele and Chris. Josh was diagnosed with stage IIB Osteosarcoma in the femur three days ago after an incisional biopsy was preformed. durring the biopsy though we found another tumor outside the bone. So what this mean is we are walking on the tin line between stage IIB and stage III. so for that reason i have assebled this team." he getures to the female and male doctor sitting in front of us. "so im still going to be the orthopedic surgery for your case, Josh, and this is Dr. Perry" he points to the girl who seams to be the same age as himself "she is the oncologist."
Dr. Perry takes over for him "it good to meet you all" he smiles at us "so im the head of pediatrics Chemotherapy. So when the time comes ill be in charge of laying out your chemo session and making sure the cancer cells stay contained and your ready for whatever these two want to do" she points to the two guys "so basically they both answer to me" she grins and the three chuckle
"and this is Dr. Robbin the Radiologist" O'Crystal points to the other guy eho seams younger than the other two
"hello, so im head of radiology, but we dotn have to worry about radiology therapy until later beacue radiology doesnt usually come into play until after a surgery to remove a tummor."
"so do you guys have any questions so far?" O'Crystal asks us
"when will he start chemo?" dad asks
"well were planning on the first round to be ten weeks. the treatment will be once every two weeks and half way through this first round we'll do another CT and see if its shrinking the tumors. we are ready to start whenever you are"
"im ready to start fighting this. im not going to wait around while it gets worse." i say "im ready this week"
~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Young Hollywood heart-throb actor, Josh Hutcherson, was seen entering the hospital for a second time this week. Now we all know that the last Josh was seen exiting the hospital he was on crutches and in a cast, but the big question thats been blowing up the media this week is why was he in the hospital this time?
We know that josh was on a two week break from an interview he did early where he said, "Im taking a two week break from everything to spend some well needed time with my family before i start filming a new movie across the country for an extended period of time". So what everyone is hung up on is the vagness of this stament. Maddie Bay from Ohio tweeted this when the photo of josh exiting the hospital was released "I think maybe he isnt acctually on break to "Spend time with his family" he is taking a break to sort out a medical issue" this tweet believe it or not is acctually is what sparked this sudden media flare. people are starting to belive this statment more and more as josh has not made any comment about the tweet leaving the fans in the dark as to what is going-" suddenly my laptop closes i look up to see julia
"you shouldnt be watching that crap. Their just trying to sturr the pot of suspicion" she lays down on my bed next to where im sitting
i set the laptop next to me and turn around to face her "I know, i just thought i should know where my fans are at. I have to tell them at some point."
she nods then sits up "how are you going to do that though, thats not exactly something you just say in a tweet"
"I know. i could do an interview?" i suggest
"you could, but thatll probably be worse than them not knowing because people are going to have thousands of questions and you cant answer them all in an interview"
"true" we sit in silence
"oh i know!" julia bounces on the bed "do one of those live stream things then you could tell them and answer peoples questions at the same time. just tweet that your doing a live stream whenever and your good!"
"yah that a really good idea!"
"well you know i am known for my ingenious ideas" she grins
"yah, sure you are" i roll my eyes at her. i gently lift my leg onto the bed and lay down next to her
"So i know you probably dotn want to talk about it but and you dont have to-"
"julia" i look over at her and she looks at me "just spit it out"
"what happened today in that meeting? was it bad and thats why no one is talking about it?" she asks worriedly
"no it wasnt bad. it was...scarry" everything is
"what do you mean? what did you talk about?"
"well" i take a deep breath "We talked about what's going to be happening soon."
"whats going to happen?"
"next week i start chemo ill have the chemo once every two weeks for ten weeks to try and shrink the tumors, but everytime i have a chemo treatment ill stay in the hospital for 4-5 days after because it's going to make me sick and uparently unlikely issues my occure, but if their so unlikely i dont know why they mention it" she chuckles a little when i say that "then after ten weeks if the tumors have shrunk ill have another sugery and then more chemo and then radiation starts to hopefully keep the cancer cells from spreeding and aparently those make more tumors or something i wasnt really paying attention to the ending, but we are avoiding more tummors with extra chemo and radiation after the surgery. then we are and i quote 'on the road to remission.' their very ambissious" she laughs
"well the road to remission plan sounds good"
"well that is if i dont get worse but the odds of the cancer growing to stage III are high."
"eh screw the odds. your gonna kick cancers @** "
i start laughing "did Julia Tills just swear?"
"yes i did, because im seriously your gonna beat this because i know you. your the kid from kentucky who at nine called a talent ageny without telling his parents because he wanted to act that badly. everyone said that their was no way you would make it as an actor but you did. you beat the odds then and your gonna beat them now."
"hell yah i will"
