It wasn't easy I had to get approval from my parents to do my senior year online, and I had to come up with the money for my plane ticket by working extra hours. But the worst part was waiting. It seemed like I was saving up for a million years but in reality it was only 2 months and 4 days to be exact. I knew what I had to do. I had to get to Jay weather it was driving across the country or flying across, it was killing me just the thought of not seeing her till senior year was over.

When I arrived Jay look totally different from when I last saw her, and that was 6 months ago. Skinny, pale, but same attitude. "Jay?" I asked very questioning. "Hi Alex," she announced very calmly. I was in shock when I saw her she had IV's hooked up to her, oxygen, and she was vomiting. I knew something was wrong from when I first step foot in the hospital room. "Dad I think I'm gonna--" and she vomited. I stood there in shock. Ray's mom robed her back as she vomited as her dad help the trash can. Seconds later after that the nurse came in and asked "How she was feeling?" She replied "I feel crummy like a bus ran over me, and I just don't have a appetite, and I just through-up." The nurse replied "Yea the chemo will do that but I will have Dr. Marin come in and make sure you are ok. And I'll ask him if I can give you something for the vomiting." The nurse left the room, and Jay's mom finally said "Let's give them some privacy." Everyone left and I was alone with Jay. "Why did you come?" She asked in a Gentle voice. "Jay I know this sound really crazy, and kind of confusing but I love you and that will never change, I know you, and I think we would be the perfect-" She interrupts me "I don't know why you want to be with me Alex, I have cancer ok a tumor is in my brain, and I don't know what in you right mind told you to come here because I don't want you seeing me like this so you should just go back home." She yells. "Jay I know you don't mean that!" I reply, but suddenly, "What's going on in here?" It was Jay's father. "Umm... Nothing Sir." I reply out of noware. "Alex I really think you should go home." He states again. "Yes Sir." I reply and walk out of the hospital room, depressed, frightened, and worst of all worried.
