My Sister's Boyfriend's Brother

Chapter 10

Maya's POV

Josh drove me home after awhile of dancing. I still can't believe we had our first 'fight'. And over the stupidest thing ever! He's right. He can love me if he wants... even if I think it's still a little too soon.

When I got home, Lily wouldn't stop bugging me for the details of our date. Which I gave, knowing I'd never get rid of her if I didn't. She laughed at our fight. Glad she found it amusing. Can you hear the sarcasm?

After I got her off my back, I took a well needed shower. After I got dressed for bed and my head hit the pillow, I was out like a light.

***3 weeks later (I know, big time skip)***

Josh and I have now been together for a month and two weeks. Time is just flying by so fast. I like him more everyday. I feel like I... I can't explain it. But I think... I think I love him.

Josh's POV

Maya and I have been together for a month, yet it feels like forever. I love her so much. I just wish she would give me the chance to say it.

I'm taking her on a date tonight. Something simple.

I was now at my friend Evan's house. I would have been at Matt's house, but he's been shunning me ever since I left his house that day in rage. I honestly couldn't care any less. He was an ass. Anyways, Evan and I were sitting on his living room couch, eating junk food, and playing video games when I got a call.

I looked to see it was my mom and answered it.

"Hello?" I said.

"Come to the Blair Hospital ER. ASAP." Then she hung up.

I stood there in shock. Who could be in the hospital? I don't know anyone who is injured or... sick.

I quickly grabbed my stuff and went out the door.

***20 minutes later***

It took me, like, eight minutes to start my car. But I finally made it. I ran into to the ER and looked around. I saw my mom in the waiting room with tear streaked cheeks. I quickly went over to her and she embraced me tightly.

After we pulled away, Mom seemed a little calmer. "What happened?" I asked, my throat tight, holding back tears.

"I-it's John. He just- he suddenly couldn't breathe a-and h-he was wheezing and he col-collapsed." Mom said, tears falling. "I-I don't know. H-he..."

(A/N: John is Josh's dad and Rachel is his mom BTW if you couldn't guess)

Then suddenly, a doctor walked in. "Rachel Kibbens?" He looked around.

"Y-yes?" Mom said.

"Would you like to go somewhere private to speak?" He asked.

"Sure." She said hesitatingly.

Mom and the doctor walked to a hallway behind closed doors. Yet, I could still see them. Thank god for glass doors. Suddenly I felt my phone buzzing in my pocket. I looked at the caller ID to see that it was Evan.

"Hello?" I said.

"Dude, where'd you go?" He said. "We still have a whole other level to beat!"

"I-It's my dad." I said, my voice breaking.

"What happened?" Evan said calmly.

"H-he collapsed." I said. "Mom is talking to the doctor."

"What do you think?"

"I don't know."

I watched Mom.

I sighed and looked at a window. "I don't know, dude."

When I looked at Mom again, she was on her knees, balling.

I hung up the phone and quickly walked to Mom.

"What happened?" I said to the doctor, nervous for the answer.

"I am afraid that," He looked at my mother. "Your husband has a tumor in his right lung."

Everything stopped.

"W-what?"

"I am sorry." He said. He didn't mean it. "I suggest that he stays for awhile so we can run some tests."

"How long?" Mom said.

"It is hard to say." The doctor said. "It could be days, weeks. Months even."

"I understand." Mom said.

"Can we see him?" I asked.

"Only one for now."

I looked at Mom. "Go ahead."

She hugged me and quickly followed the doctor.

That's when the tears came.
