7 years and counting- Love Hearts

McDonalds cahnges everything

"Cancer...but, how? I couldnt believe it, the one woman in my life that meant so much to me, even though she blamed me, hated me for years, and now she was ill, and there was nothing i can do.

"I found a lump under my arm, so i got it cheaked up. They said that i had a minor tumor, but its growing quikley and im going to start treatment soon hunny. I know i've been so cruel to you. I was just protecting you, i just didnt want you to turn into me, and i thought you were strong" Tears were streaming down her face onto her hands which were gripped into mine. "Will you come to the hospital with me tomorrow"

"Of course mum, even though its not going to be easy to forgive you after those years, im still your daughter, and i will help you" Even though she caused my childhood to be hell, it doesnt mean that she shouldnt be forgiven, so i'll give her a second chance.

That night we slept cuddled up, as she cried in my arms. I've never seen her like this before, and its scary. I didnt sleep a wink, and just sat there thinking about what had just happened. My life was just turned around.

As soon as the light crept through the windows, i was up and making breakfast for mum and max. Being the *cough cough* baker i am, i made some sort of pancakes. If you could even call them that, but anyway maxie seemed pleased that they were edibale and his were gone in about 6 seconds. Mum couldnt beat that, she didnt even finish hers.

"Mum, are they that bad?"

"Oh no hunny, there..nice, its just im abit worried" Her face was pale, just like my pancakes

"Im sure not eating wont help you though mum, you need to stay strong" She gave me a soft smile, and got a banana out of the fruit bowel.

"im sure a bit of fruit is better that some fatty pancakes-no effence lucy" Great

"anyway, what times the hospital?"

"in about an hour"

"okay, ill get Eleanor to look after max, and then i'll drive you up"

"Thanks hunny, you such a great daughter, and im proud of you to buy your own car, i cant believe i made you work so hard, i can pay from now on"

"No mum, its fine, i like my jobs" She tried to fight back but i didnt have it.

-2 hours later-

"I'm afraid your mother is sereously ill, with a rare type of arm cancer, that is treatable, but it comes with a cost, and is only avaibale if you go to an american hospital" The doctor expained

"How much are we talking" I questioned

"well, its not final yet but you looking around £90,000, and because your mother found the lump late, you have a limited time space to get the money, which could be from 6 months to a year depending on how well you mother reacts to this temporary treatment"  A year? How am i supposed to get that sort of money. Just then i felt a buzz in my pocket, coming from my phone.

It was from Ryan. I had completly forgot about him.

"not coming then?" I felt so bad.
