Rachel frantically followed the ambulance into the hospital. Her eyes wide and filled with worry, she kept glancing over at the 16 year old running along the other side of the gurney. She was scared, she had too admit, but not for her own life, but for her best friends life. You see when she first met her best friend, she hated him. Right from the start, but then they began to bond with each other when they were 13 years old. A year later, she almost lost him. Too cancer. A very treatable cancer that by age sixteen he was fine and happy again. He was back in school.

So when anything goes wrong, she's suddenly like a magnet, that latches onto him, with no room for him too breathe. When he fainted this morning, before he said he wasn't feeling good, she feared for the worst. Earlier that week he had been complaining about being tired all the time. She knew she needed to get him too a hospital quick. And because she, him and his sister lived together, she knew his sister needed to come too otherwise she'd go insane in the house all alone. When Rachel was 12, her two dads informed her that they wanted too adopt two kids and she was perfectly fine with it since it meant she would get siblings and she wouldn't be all alone all the time.

It wasn't until a year ago when she meet her brother and sister. That's how she met him. And they've been stuck like glue. All three of them.

"I'm sorry Ms Berry but we're gonna have to run some tests on him, is there anything we need to know before we run them?"

Rachel nodded her head, but before she could pipe up anything, her sister stepped in. "He had cancer when he was 14, he was cured and good." The doctor nodded in understanding, opening his mouth- "He's going to be okay right doc? Please tell me he'll be okay! I need him too be okay!"

"Look, I know your scared for your brother but I promise we will check him out, run all the appropriate tests, and get your as much information as soon as possible." Then he turned and walked away.

They sat in the waiting room for what felt like hours. Every door that opened, they got a little more hopeful, but they were disappointed every time.

"Oh god! I should call dads!!"

"No! Rachel. Don't. We should find out more information before we tell anyone yet. The doctor will come soon." She smiled. "We just need to be patient."

Rachel huffed shoving her phone back into her purse, obviously upset at her sisters attitude.

An hour or two went by before the doctor came back out. He walked towards the siblings. "He's been asking for you!" He announced. "Come follow me please."

The two girls stood up following quickly behind him, he stopped in front of a closed door, opening it up too reveal their brother.

The body laying on the bed looked a little more pale, and fragile. Although Rachel's sure he would kill her for even thinking that. She noticed that the IV on his arm was connected to the machine behind him, and that their was lots of bruising around it. Actually, that there was a lot of bruising along his arms, and she almost guaranteed that he had bruising on his abdomen too.

"Rachel!! Isabelle!"

"Are you okay?" Rachel immediately said.

"I'm fine. It's these doctors that are crazy, what am I even doing here?"

Rachel sighed. "You fainted. I found you lying on the kitchen floor, and called the ambulance." She walked towards him, grabbing onto Isabelle's hand, tugging on her arm to follow her. "What is all this bruising from? And why haven't you told us about it?"

"I'm fine. It's nothing, absolutely nothing. Right doc?"

"Actually I'm afraid we have some news for you." The doctor said. "Please, Rachel, Isabelle take a seat."
