"Does this mean you're going to die," she asks solemnly
I shrug my shoulders
"I'm more worried about Lola right now," I mumble into her hair
She sits up and her frizzy blonde curtains her face
"Chris you worry about other people too much," she states stroking my cheek
"That's what I've always been like...even with Nasha"
She lays her head down on my chest and closes her eyes
"What stage?"
"Stage 2, they say it can still be stopped. Talked about chemotherapy and all that shit," I sigh heavily the words sticking in my mouth
"The funny thing is, they said the same thing to my mum and she died," I continue stroking her back softly
