"he's sad I think anyway .. he won't say it to me and he tries to act like our buck but somethings changed Yano he's just sad" I say looking round the room 

"ok does anyone else feel bad that we were icing buck out when he probably needed us the most" chim added walking over making all of us nod in agreement 

"buck feels like he has nothing anymore" hen says looking towards me

"mum can you please travel down I really need to tell you this in person" I say pacing round the room on my phone 

"no buck tell me over the phone" she demands  

"fine" I say sitting down on the edge of the couch

"I have cancer ....  leukaemia" the phone went silent 

"mum are you there" I shout down the phone 

"what" she stutters 

"I have leukaemia" I say louder 

"no .... I can't go through this again Evan ... I can't help you ....  erm you have a new family they can help you ... I'm sorry Evan" she stutters before hanging up the phone. I sat there for a second processing what she had just said 

"fuck" I shout throwing my phone against the wall and watching it shatter into tiny pieces I drag my feet up the stairs and collapse into my bed and pull the covers over my head. 

"fuck fuck fuck" I shout letting tears stream from my face 

"buck are you ready" I her Eddie says as he walks through the door closing it behind him and I try to contain my tears.  I forgot he was taking me to my chemo appointment 

"are you ok" he says wondering up the stairs when I didn't reply 

"my parents have disowned me .. she said she can't go through it again" I mumble sitting up in bed before letting more tears fall out of me 

"oh" he says before pulling me in for a hug 

"lets go to this appointment" I said whipping my eyes 


I took a deep breath as I sat in the chair 

"you get use to it" the nurse said as i adjusted myself in my seat 

"are you ready" mr Buckley 

"I dunno" I said feeling tears well up in my eyes

 "buck you got this and I'm right here" Eddie said grabbing my hand I turn to look at him his eyes fixed on mine 

"ok I'm ready" I smile taking a deep breath before looking to the nurse who flicks the tube and liquid starts rushing into my body

"oo it feels weird" I giggle towards Eddie trying to lighten the mood 

"you should only start getting symptoms after day 2 of chemo so your ok for now" Eddie says smiling 

"magazine" he adds waving one in-front of my face I grab it out his hand 

"I get a room from tomorrow" I say looking at Eddie 

"your very happy about that" he laughs

" yeah I can sleep" I smile back. we spent the next hour laughing and watching the tv that sat across from us

"alright Evan its time to go home" the nurse said as she took the tube out of the needle in my arm 

"we are going to leave this needle in so we can use it everyday and we will change it once a week" the nurse smiles agin 

"thank you" I say grabbing my jacket and walking out to eddies car 

"pizza night at mine" Eddie says smiling as we get in the car 

"ok" I smile we spent the whole night chatting and laughing and really taking my mind of everything.
