Problems With Love

Chapter 42

A/N sorry guys but this chapter is probably gonna being pretty sad:(

Kris's POV

I can't take it anymore. I broke down in tears. My mom has stage 4 thyroid cancer. Can it get any worse?

Kristen and I walk inside speechless. Neither of us have anything to say. "I uh. I'm gonna go upstairs. I'll be in my room if you need me," she says weakly. I don't say anything or move. Kristen walks over and hugs me. I hug her back. Neither of us say anything. We just hug each other tightly. "She's gonna be ok," my sister says. We both know it's not true but she's trying to be optimistic like always. That's just how she is.

Kristen's POV

I run upstarts to my room and plop down on my bed and cry. How can she have cancer? She's one of the healthiest people I know.

I decide to take a shower so I grab some Under Armor sweatpants, a hawks tee shirt, some clean underwear, a sports bra, and a portable, Bluetooth speaker, and head to the bathroom. Once I get to the bathroom I put my speaker on the counter and turn the shower on so it can heat up. I make sure the water is steaming hot. I blast Fall Out Boy as I get in. Something about Fall Out Boy makes me feel good but I don't know what.

I end up taking a really long shower but I really don't care. I put my clean clothes on after drying off. Then I dry my hair and put it up in a pony tail. I take my speaker back to my room and grab my phone and go downstairs.

I notice Kris isn't downstairs but I just shrug it off. He's probably just in his room. I plop down on the couch and turn the TV on and flip through the channels. I find the Stars vs Lightning game and decide to watch that. Around 6 I start to get hungry. "Hey Kris!" I yell. No answer. "Kris?" I yell again. Again, no answer. I run upstairs to his room and knock on the door. "Kris? Are you in there?" I ask through the closed door. I slowly open the door and walk in. He's not there. I start to get worried. I send him a text but after 20 minutes of no reply I call him. It rings and rings and goes to voicemail. I check the garage and his car isn't there. I sprint over Corey's house since he lives like 3 houses and ring the doorbell. He opens it a few seconds later. "Hey Kristen are you ok?" He asks letting me in. "No," I respond panicky. "What's wrong?" He asks nervously. "I can't find my brother anywhere!" I say. "What do you mean?" He asks worriedly. "My dad called and said my mom has cancer and he got really upset and I went to take a shower and when I went back downstairs he wasn't there. I thought he was just in his room and that was at like 3 and then like 30 minutes ago I was gonna ask him if he wanted me to get anything for dinner and I couldn't find him anywhere and he won't pick up his phone," I explain. Corey thinks for a minute. "Could he be at the rink?" he asks. "Maybe but I doubt it." "Ok where else could he be?" "I don't know," I say weakly fighting back tears. "Hey it's ok. We'll find him," Corey says hugging me. I hug him back, burying my face in his chest and start to cry. "Shhhhh it ok Kristen," Corey says softly.

Then there's a knock at the door. "Come on in," Corey says still hugging me and trying to calm me down. "Hey Corey," I hear a familiar voice say. I realize immediately it's Brandon. OH CRAP HE'S GONNA THINK I'M CHEATING! "Hey Kristen what's wrong babe?" he asks. I love let go of Corey and wipe me eyes. "So on the way home my dad called and said my mom has stage 4 thyroid cancer and me and Kris both started crying and after comforting each other for a while and I went upstairs so take a shower. When I went back downstairs Kris was gone and I thought he was just upstairs in his room. 3 hours later so about 40 minutes ago I was gonna go to get food and I yelled for him but he didn't answer. I went to check his room but he wasn't there. I searched the whole house and couldn't find him. His car isn't in the garage and he isn't answering his phone and I'm just really worried," I explain. Brandon hugs me. "We'll find him don't worry."

A/N hey guys so like I said it was gonna be a sad chapter sorry
