Number 20

Part 3

As soon as I walked into the living room. My brother, who was sat on with his Thomas The Tank Engine blanket draped over him in his pyjamas watching the television, shot up and ran over too me.

"Holly bear!" He shouted as he clung to my leg.

"Hello lightnin!" I said as i crouched down to him.
"How was your day?" I asked as I gave him a big hug.

"It was so cool! The nurse said that I was the most brave boy eva!" He said with a grin. His one front tooth missing. I smiled.

"Well that's because you are!" I said as I kissed his forehead. Because of the chemotherapy he was bald now. I remember when he had gorgeous brown hair. That was a year ago. He's four now. My strong little man. He has been so brave these past few months. He was diagnosed with leukaemia nearly a year and a half ago. Me, mum and dad always knew there was a chance he might not respond to chemo.

"Heya Hol" mum said as she walked in and sat on the armchair. She looked exhausted.

"Hey mum" I said. Me and mum were talking about our days and about what happened at the hospital while sitting on the sofa. Storm had cuddled up beside me and continued to watch his tv show. Mum left 20 minutes later to go have a nap.

"I'm just going to go get changed okay?" I said to storm. He nodded not looking away from the tv screen.

I got up, picked up my school bag and blazer and walked up the stairs into my bedroom. My bedroom was fairly big. I used to have the one that Storm has now but when he was first ill mum didn't like leaving him alone at night so she slept in the same bed as him. Now that he has a double bed it's better. If he is sick he has his own bathroom and it's easier to get down stairs from his room. So I decided he could have my room.

I love my bedroom. It's got a little walk in wardrobe and a big window. The walls are lilac and have a purple rug. I love the colour purple.

I suppose in that sense I am a girly girl. I like makeup and dresses, but I also like football and cars. Mostly because of my dad. My dad is Marcus Anderson. Yes, THE Marcus Anderson. If you don't know who is (where have you been for the past four years? Under a rock? Joking), he's a car designer. One of most famous in he world. He's designed cars for company's like BMW, Mercedes and Audi. That's why we always have really nice cars.

Once I got to my room I put my stuff on my bed and grabbed a pair of Cade's sweats and a marvel T-shirt. I got changed and placed my uniform on the end of the bed for mum to get later. Once I had gotten my phone out of my bag I put on my rabbit slippers and ran down stairs.

3 hours later, I was still sat on the sofa watching 'Turbo' with Storm whilst eating a tub of strawberry ice cream. His favourite. Then my phone started buzzing on the coffee table. I got up and grabbed it. Storm was watching me.
"I'll be back in 2 minutes okay?" I said as I walked into the hallway. I looked at the contact. It was Cade.

"Hey" I said.

"Hey babe, I was just wondering if I could come over so we could hangout maybe get a Chinese?" He asked. He knew my weaknesses. I mean, I guess I would be allowed.

"Er.. Yeah sure gimmie 20?"

"Yeah okay, love you" I smiled when he said that.

"I love you too" I said and put the phone down.
