Harry pov:
"It's so stupid that I can't remember what happend..." I said.
"It's okay. I'm already glad that you're alive."
"But it's not right. There has to be something that I remember!"
"Calm down." Mal said and I sighed.
"You were worried, weren't you?"
"Ofcourse I was! You could've died!"
"But I didn't."
"Because of dumb luck."
The nurse came back.
"Why the long face?" I asked.
"I have some bad news..."
"What is it?" Mal asked.
"The stuff that was in you IV wasn't poison."
"And that's bad?" I asked confused.
"It was something worse..."
"What could be wors then poison?" Mal asked.
"Cancer."
"Come again?" I said.
"Someone put a cancer plasma in you IV and based on the blood test, you have it now."
"That... That can't be- I... I..."
Mal took my hand and she had tears in her eyes.
"If we start the treatment tomorrow, you could be cancer free in two or three months." The nurse said.
"No, I'm not doing that." I said.
"Harry..." Mal said.
"No! People get bald of that. I'm not taking it!"
The nurse lookes at me.
"I know this is a lot to take in but-"
"Cut the crap! I'm not doing it!"
A tear fell down Mal's cheek.
The nurse looked at me again.
"I know this is a huge thing. But I promise you that if we start tomorrow, you won't die because of it."
"I'd prefer to die then that I'm going to be bald."
"Harry don't say that..." Mal said.
"I'm sorry Mal, but I won't."
Mal stood up and ran off with tears in her eyes.
The nurse sighed.
"This isn't just hard for you. Also for the people you love. Just think about it. Okay?"
I ignored her.
Me. Bald. No way!
She sighed and left.
Dammit I have cancer!

Mal pov:
I ran to Evie's place.
I needed to talk to her.
"E, are you there?"
She opend the door and she looked at me in suprise.
"I've never seen you crying before."
"It wasn't poison! It was cancer!"
I started to cry and Evie wrapped her arms around me.
"Come inside." she said
Carlos stood in the living room and looked at me in suprise.
"What's going on?"
"A lot." Evie said.
We sat down on the cough and I explained everything.
"Yea... Sounds like Harry." Carlos said.
"Not helping." Evie said.
"But what should I do? Convince him or...?"
"Do what feels right. You always know what to do." Carlos said with a small smile.
A tear fell down my cheek and Evie whiped it away.
"M..."
Someone knocked on the door and Carlos stood up.
"I'll go..."
I looked at Evie.
"Harry just had to be so stubborn..."
"Can you blame him?"
"No not really... But do you think he'd acctually prefer to die then...?"
"I don't know."
I sighed and Evie hugged me.
"Hey Mal, it's Harry." Carlos said.
I looked up and walked to him.
"What are you doing here?" I asked.
"I had to talk to you..."
"How did you knew I'd be here?"
"The way you ran off... It was kinda obvious..."
"Carlos, can you give us a moment?" I asked and Carlos left.
I looked at Harry and sighed.
"I get it if-"
"Mal, I'm sorry for what I said."
"I get it. I just... I can't lose you because of this... You mean to much to me for that..."
"Mal..."
"Look, I know you'd never want to be bald and all... But I can't lose you. Not because of this."
Harry sighed and took my hands in his.
"Then you won't."
"Wait what?"
"I'll do it. For you."
I had tears in my eyes and I hugged him.
"Wait, are you even allowed to leave the hospital?"
"I asked that nurse if it was okay to go after you."
"So... Now what?"
"I should call that I'm going for it... So it could start..."
He was acting kinda nervous and I looked at him.
"Do you want me to call?"
"Yea... If that's okay?"
"Sure..."

Ben pov:
I was at the hospital, I was going to ask more about Wendy.
The lady behind the reception was busy with a call so I waited.
"Yes, if you two could come now. Then we start with the introduction to the traject. Then we'll start the treatment as soon as possible." That women said.
Sounds like someone had cancer...
She wrote something down and hang up.
"Hello, how can I help you?"
"Hey, I was wondering. Dis Wendy Darling worked here?"
"Yes, she quit yesterday... Why do you ask?"
"Do you know where she lives?"
"No... I'm sorry. Why do you want to know all this?"
"Because there are some things that happend and she is probably involved."
The women looked at me in suprise.
"I need to go... Thank you." I said and I walked away.
So mom was right...
But where is Wendy now?
"Excuse me sir, you were looking for Wendy Darling?" A man asked.
"Yes, do you know where I can find her?"
"She is my sister. She lives by the river. I'm John."
"Thank you."
"Pleasure to help you, King Ben."
I nodded and went to the lake. There was only one house so it had to be Wendy's!
