2 months later "She's in remission yes!"!!! "Oh my god I'm so happy for you"!! Ben delivered the amazing news. Emily was in remission from Cancer and although not totally out of the woods yet a significant milestone had been made. "Well finally some good news" smiled Gillian."Well our little princess is getting there isn't she"? Suggested Ben."Yeah" replied Gillian "I mean the intense physio is draining her, but she's taking it all in her stride and doing well at school which is a surprise I thought it would all be too much for her" "And the lad's 19 next week" said Ben. "He's just unbelievable" said Gillian "taking a gap year to help his family I mean I don't need the help but every night when Megan comes in from school he's just there for her he's been an absolute godsend to her since the accident.""We're so lucky to have raised such great kids" said Ben. "I know" said Gillian "I can't believe we are sitting here having a positive conversation two months ago Emily was still in intensive treatment Megan was at the worst it was hell." "Thanks for coming round" said Ben "I do really miss the kids and with Megan I'm not always there I just wanna give her a big hug and tell I love her." "No thank you" said Gillian "I've been moaning on and I know they're your daughters too but with everything that's been going on with Emily I know how tough it's been for you""Hey we're all friends here" smiled Grace. "Well I best get back" said Gillian "pick the girls up from school and Sam on the way little star he is another well done postcard in the post from History this time." "You alright Codes!""Yeah not too bad." "School been bugging you"? "No more than usual" Max greeted Cody as she came through the door from school. She was in a hurry to get away from him though as she ran upstairs. "She didn't sound too happy" Max said to Gillian. "Oh she's fine" insisted Gillian ."You know Megan really missed you before at her physio you know you being there has helped her what's going on luv"? It was around 630 and the family had returned from another physio session with Megan without Cody who had insisted she didn't go. "Homework" muttered Cody. "Cody it was an hour of your time" said Gillian "what's going with you lately? You're normally so caring but now you don't wanna know." "Mum I'm tired" insisted Cody."Well Megan has to have physio and does all her homework at the same time" snapped Gillian "but is she moaning and acting like a spoilt brat? No." "Why is everything a competition round here who's got the worst life"? Snapped Cody "I'm sick of it." "And where do you think you're going"? It was about half an hour later and Cody was trying to leave the house. "Just off to see a mate" insisted Cody. "What at half six on a Tuesday night? I don't think so" said Gillian "you're not 15 yet you're not going out at this time." "This is unfair" snapped Cody. "Well life's not fair you should see for yourself" snapped Gillian "anyway you said you were tired.""Yeah tired of you"! Shouted Cody storming upstairs an upset Cody got to her bedroom and quickly got her phone out. "Can't see you tonight will have to be the weekend now" she said "that way it doesn't look noticeable." "Unbelievable an hour's detention Friday do you realise how stupid you're being"? "Mum it was one piece of homework" It was the next day and a furious Gillian had got into a dispute with Cody after discovering she was on detention after failing to hand homework in. "You said the other night you missed Megan's physio to catch up on homework" remarked Gillian "and now you're in detention have you got too much is that the problem"? "No everything is perfectly fine" snapped Megan "I'm just snowed under but I'll get there." "I think you are worrying too much." "Am I though"? "Yeah mum I've noticed something." "Go on Luv you can tell me" Gillian was sat with Max in the kitchen. "It's different with twins" said Max "I know we are all close, but them two being twins they've followed each other around and I think this is the wrong word, it's not jealously but Cody feels like nobody cares about her." "That's ridiculous" said Gillian "so her sister has a life changing injury and suddenly she feels left out"? "No" said Max "she's a teenager so she will be stressed out, moody, and with Megan's injury on top of it she just feels like she's got nobody to turn to.""She's always got me" said Gillian "I thought she was ok she was looking after Megan, doing well at school, I don't know where all this has come from anyway she's going shopping with Libby tonight I said she could if she got that homework done." "Cody"!"Oh hi""Just the girl I am you're saviour" It was about half an hour later and Cody was allowed to go out but instead of meeting Libby she met a young lad on the corner. "I'm a bit nervous" said Cody. "Don't be" said the boy "but it's normal I've had plenty who feel the same." "I just want to feel better" said a saddened Cody. "Trust me it will all be over soon" said the boy "you will be feeling great"
