Chapter 1- who are you?
You don't know what bad news is until your mum sits you down and tells you that stage 3 cancer has took over her body.
-
Every day after school I take the long way home to visit my mum and sit with her for an hour until the drugs take her into a deep sleep, taking her away from the cruel disease that's in her body. One Friday night after school I was walking through the hospital door and as I did so the nurses nodded their heads at me or smiled while saying a quick hello obviously recognising my face from all my other trips here, some of the nurses even knew my name.
As I walked into the room, there was another person in there; I couldn't have been my father since he ran away as soon as he could. It was a tall man with brown hair. I pulled out my head phones that had my music on shuffle and at the minute Panic! In The Disco was blasting out if the small buds. I coughed awkwardly and he turned round.
"Who are you?"
I asked trying to be as polite as possible while crossing my arms over my chest and dropping half my weight on to my left leg.
He just stared at me as I awkwardly shifted my weight from my left leg to my right trying to show I wasn't nervous and that I had attitude, but I don't think he was buying it....
"oh right, I'm Greg, your...Charlie-Grace, right?"
the man that I now know is called Greg replied. After I nodded he pulled me into a bear hug shocking me by a mile but I soon melted into it.... He was a really good hugger. After pulling away I asked, being a polite as possible.. again.
"So, why are you here? How do you know my mum?"
"Your mother is best friends with my mum, Maura. Growing up me and my brother called your mum Auntie Beth . I've only just go the time to come here to see her. I promised myself, and my mum that I will come back home, to Ireland, when Beth is better but if Beth... doesn't get better, you no die. My mum has been on the phone to your mother and have decided that I will take you back home to Ireland with me"
Greg explained this to me, but to be honest when he said the sentence 'doesn't get better' I stopped paying as much attention to him as I did before. Only using one ear to listen to his Irish accent.
Because I don't like to think that my mum won't get better, and that are lives won't go back to normal. But I know what he's saying is true.
"There's no need for that Greg, my mum is going to get better, so your offer is very nice to live in Ireland but I won't be going anywhere without my mum"
I said making my voice sound confident but to be honest I was scared and I think he knew because towards the end my voice cracked and he sent a small nod in my direction, the thought that one day my mum might die and one day I might be living in Ireland with Greg, Maura, his father and brother made me really scared.
"I hope so kiddo, I really do"
he said while nodding his head in understandment. What was with the "kiddo"? I'm 17 not 7.
"So, how about we get to know each other?"
Greg suggested while taking a seat next to my sleeping mum.
I nodded and took the seat on the other side of the hospital bed.
"So what do you want to know?" I asked
"How about we start by you asking me some questions?" Greg said
"Full name ?"
"Greg Horan"
"Niall Horans brother?" I asked in shock
"Yeah, you a fan ?"
"yeah there amazing , I have there album's and EP's on my phone"
I said while digging my phone out of my jeans showing him the screen which happened to have their album Take Me Home playing ,
don't get me wrong One Direction is an amazing band and I love them but I had no choice but to play it cool, considering I'm sat a few feet away for NIALL HORANS FUCKIN BROTHER! I'm actually a huge Directioner, like mega, I now feel really dumb for not noticing that it was Greg Horan. But I'm more of a Louis girl.
After asking many more stupid questions like favourite food, favourite type of music my mum woke up, if you hadn't guessed already her names Beth.
"awe Charlie-Grace honey....you've ,met Greg"
she said while pulling me into a hug, her hugs are the best. I don't know why, maybe It's the tight embrace from her arms or maybe it's the smell of her perfume or her loving heart and her face that always glows even if she is dying she knows how to cheer you up.
"have you told her?"
she attempted to whisper to Greg but in a small hospital room, whispering was like coughing. He gave her a quick nod wanting to change the subject. She gave a weak nod and a smile in my direction.
After an awkward moment of silence Greg quickly slapped his knees while standing up saying.
"well, I'd better get going, food then hotel."Trying to cheer up the mood.
At the sound of food my belly irrupted in to a grumble making both me and Greg laugh,
"you want to come with me?" he asked. I quickly shuck my head not wanting to leave my mum on her own.
"you can go if you want Charile, I'll be fine plus I'll see you tomorrow" she said while squeezing my knee smiling.
I gladly took the offer and stood up sorting out my jeans.
"Do I need any money?" I asked while looking at Greg. He shuck is head saying it was on him. I gave my mum a kiss and followed Greg out the room, the situation was becoming very awkward, very quickly.
I sat down in a Mc Donald's uncomfortable plastic seats while Greg went to order me a box of 4 chicken nuggets, chips and a diet coke and whatever he was getting, probably a burger. Usually I would order everything on the menu with a strawberry milkshake but I didn't want Greg to spend is money on me and I didn't feel comfortable with him watching me eat, not just him, I just hate people watching me in general. The only person I feel comfortable around is my mum and my 2 closest friends. They helped me through a lot when I found out about my mum having cancer. I kept on hearing shit about me and my mum at school and I heard the doctors saying my mum wouldn't make it and that she would die but they told me not to listen to them and it was all just lies. The doctors said 2 years ago that my mum would die and the doctors are still waiting to this day and to be completely honest, I was waiting for that day to come as well.
After eating tea with Greg he drove me back to the house, I gave a him a quick awkward hug and said thankyou. He watched me go into the house probably to make sure I was safe, as I closed the door he shouted out the window
"Goodbye Charlie see you tomorrow , I'll pick you up at 12 and we'll got out again" I gave him a thumbs up and locked the door to my small house.
I only live in a small house on the outskirts of the city with only a small sofa , coffee table , tv and lamp in the living room. A smallish kitchen, my bedroom,1 spare bedroom that used to be my mums and 1 toilet downstairs and 1 upstairs. Nothing to special .
