As I walked downstairs, I could tell Syl was really worried about me. She was standing in the kitchen pacing, looking over every 5 seconds to see Ty watching tv.

Syl: Thank God. *hugs me*
Me: I'm fine.
Syl: I know this is hard but we can pull through. Alright Hun?

I quickly nodded in agreement.

Syl: Dr.Brown told me a potential treatment option.
Me: which was?
Syl: a blood marrow transfusion.
Me: from who?
Syl: well, your blood type didn't match hers so they ruled you out, and since I'm merely an aunt, our blood type were not as closely matched for a successful transfusion, they said your mom would probably work and your mom-
Me: 😓😢
Syl: but, we can also pay for treatment but it's expensive.
Me: what do we do now?
Syl: I thought it would be best you tell her
Me: actually, I'd like you to help me tell her, too.
Syl: really?
Me: yeah. You play as big a role in her life as me... You too Chres. You are her " big brother"
Chres: Kay.
Syl: Ready?
Me: yeah?

I heard Yn, Roc, and aunty Syl mumbling in the kitchen but I'm not really paying attention. I see YN is feeling better now that Her boyfriend Roc is here.

They all walked toward me, oh no! That means something bad is about to happen.

YN: Hey, Ty. Can we all talk to you for a minute?
Me: sure.
Yn: well, Chasity... Do remember when I explained to you what cancer is?
Me: yeah.
Yn: good. And you know a lot people have it and there are ways that it can be treated and people get better.
Roc: and some people even beat the cancer.
Me: Does Aunty Syl have cancer?
Aunty Syl: no. *sobs*
Me: Aunty, it's okay. You're gonna get better. I promise.
YN: Ty, Babygirl. You have cancer.. You have leukemia
Me: oh 😕....

Why are they all looking at me like this? I feel fine. I just have cancer.

Yn: you okay?
Me: I'm marvelous. 😊 a little cancer won't bring me down.
Yn: that's my girl.
A.S: you're so strong. Just like your sister.
Roc: if only Ty's mom could see her girls now. she'd be so proud to see how strong and beautiful her daughters are
Yn: but then again ashamed for not being there to see the process.
A.S: 😔 yeah.
Yn: Syl, why don't you call the oncologist Dr.Brown suggested?
A.S: right, lemme do that.
Me: what's an oncologist?
Yn: well, it's basically a cancer specialist.
Me: oh okay. I hope she nice 😊
A.S: she is. I spoke to her. She'll be here in about an hour.

I can't really tell how Ty is feeling right now. I don't think she understands that cancer is a BIG deal and how this can alter the rest of her life... At least we caught it early.

Me: *whispers* hey Ty?
Ty: yeah?
Me: nannwaga lktaga in teprivaga?
Ty: huh?!
Me: don't tell me you forgot our secret language?! PLEASE DONT TELL ME YOU FORGOT!!! 😱

Me: owfollga me to the omroga.

Roc: 😳 WHAT THE F-
Syl: front door....Better watch your mouth in my house little boy.
