(i did this to my phone😁)

I wake up in a hospital bed and i look at my arm and there is an iv attached to it. I look around and Gus is sitting in the chair next to me staring at me with his airpods in and tears in his eyes.

"Gus?" I barely mumbled.

He snapped out whatever kind of trance he was in and shot up from the chair and came to stand next to me.

"Hey are you okay?" He wiped the tears from his eyes.

"I dont know actually. What happened?"

"You um had a seizure"

"Oh"

"Rayden and Rawska are on their way here."

"Okay. Um why were you crying?"

"I was thinking of dumb negative stuff dont worry about it"

"Come on im a big girl i can take it" I teased and he smiled.

"I just couldn't bare thought of having to loose you. I could just imagine all the songs i'd write about you."

I smiled at the thought of Gus writing a song about me and then responded.

"Gus if i die you wouldn't loose me. I'll always be in the room with you and i will always stay in your heart and mind through memories. If i die i'll haunt you Peep. You know that"

"Yes i do"

"And one day we'll see each other again"

I shed a tear and Gus' eyes got watery again.

Zay and Ray come into the room with my backpack and dropped it when they saw i was awake. They both ran over to me.

"I swear to god i didn't know what to do im sorry if this isn't what you want and if things dont go your way" Rayden was first to speak.

"If something is wrong i swear you can do whatever you want i just want you to be happy" Rawska spoke second.

"Guys i feel fine right now just a little heavy" As i was saying that the doctors came in.

"Hey Astrid. Im Dr.Dankworth. Im specialized in neurology. I think that we should do a CT scan of your brain just to make sure everything is okay."

"Okay um is a CT scan like an MRI?" Rayden asked.

"Yes but much shorter it will only take like 5 minutes."

They put me in a wheelchair and took me to the room with the CT scan. They put me in and they started it up. Around 5 minutes later they came and got me out and took me back to the room.

"I will let you know the results as soon as i get them, it might be up to 24 hours which means we are going to be needing to keep you here overnight." The doctor explained.

"Okay great" I said sarcastically.

The doctor left and it was just us back in the room. Ray handed me my phone and i checked the time. It was already 11 am.

"So today and tomorrow are fucking wasted" I groaned.

"What do you mean?" Gus questioned.

"I was going to train all week because i need to get back to dancing and shit. I also need to buy everyone presents and if something is wrong with me i dont know if that will be possible."

"Dont worry Astrid everything will be fine. Plus you dont need to buy us presents, you want to. We'll be fine if you dont" Rawska said.

"Yeah well lets just hope everything is okay."

"Yeah that" Ray agreed with me.

The day went by slow but i slept through most of it. I was still sleeping when Gus shook me awake and i saw the doctor standing in front of the bed. It was the next day already.

"Hey Astrid how are you feeling?"

"Im fine. Did the results come in?"

"Yes they did and im afraid its not great news"

"Is something wrong with me?"

"Astrid, you have a brain tumor."

The room went dead silent and i felt my world crumble. I looked over at Rayden and his eyes were getting watery. I looked over at Rawska and his jaw was practically on the floor. Then i looked over at Gus and i could see the pain through his eyes.

"Astrid im extremely sorry to say that we cant operate on the type of tumor you have."

That's when shit went to shit.

"What the fuck do you mean you cant remove that bullshit?" Rayden spoke up anger clearly in his voice.

"It's extremely rare and in a spot that cant be operated." He explained.

"So basically you're fucking useless, oh okay" Rawska said with an eye roll.

"Im sorry but there is now way to remove it"

"How much longer do i have?" I interrupted.

"Normally i would say 5 years but with your condition at most 3 years and at least a couple months, im sorry there is just no way to tell."

Gus gave me a sad look and I stayed silent for a second thinking about what i wanted to do and then i knew exactly what i wanted to do.

"Right okay here's what i want to do. Fuck whatever bullshit treatment you guys had in mind im not spending the last possible years of my life on a death bed. I want to go home and have a nice Christmas with my family and after that do whatever the hell i want"

"Okay let me go get your discharge papers and you'll be okay to go"

"Thank you" I smiled at him and he walked away.

"What do you want to do?" Ray asked.

"I dont know i just want to go home and then we could maybe sit down and make a bucket list of things to do?"

"Sounds great" Zay said.
