Jonah's POV

i just got to the hospital and walked straight to moms room, she was there alone

"morning mom" i smiled
"g-good morning s-sweetheart" she smiled back
"how you holding up?" i went to sit next to her
"fi -" she grabbed one of those weird bowl thing and threw up, but she threw up blood not sick...
"mom!" i started to panic
"Jonah dear i fine, ive been like this for days" she said
"o-oh right.... h-hey weres b-beth?" i asked
"gone for food - you should too"
i sighed but did as i was told, i checked if tatum was awake up the blinds where shut meaning she must of been asleep. i walked into the canteen and found Bethany playing with her food, when she saw me coming she wiped her eyes with the sleeve of Corbyn's hoodie

"you okay?" i asked
"j-jo... i dont know h-how much l-longer moma w-will last" she cried some more
"what do you mean?" i asked
"l-last night she kept coughing-g up b-blood... and s-she'd forget how to move her a-arms and l-legs then b-burst out crying"
"s-shit...." i replied, she kept playing with her food "why aren't you eating it?" i nudged her
"its h-horrible" she chuckled a bit, i took the spoon from her and tried it - instantly spat it out
"your not wrong" i said

we spend about an hour or more talking in the canteen and then beth decided to go back to the room i said i'd stay for a little longer. i only stayed for about half an hour longer then i walked back, as i was walking i bumped into tatum but she fell to the ground crying as my elbow hit her side, i bent down and wrapped my arms around her, i lifted her head and wiped her tears with my hoodie

"are you okay?" i asked but she wrapped her arms around me and squeezed me tight
"w-will y-you p-please t-take m-me back-k t-to m-my room" she asked, i immediately picked her up and carried her to her room and placed her down gently.

"thanks Jonah" she said
"its no problem ..." i was thinking of her name
"tatum - well tate" she smiled
"cute name for a cute girl" i laughed
she blushed and starred at me for a while, i said good bye to her and went back to my moms room for a change she wasn't asleep so we all had a nice conversation...

(quick POV change)
Tate's POV
the next day..
8.24am

i was walking around the hospital as usual and saw Jonah stood in-front of me with a nurse, his back was turned so he couldn't see me, i didn't want to bother him since it looked important, so i turned around and started to walk, as i got to the main lobby of this floor i head loud sobbing coming from behind me, i quickly shot around which sent me a huge wave of pain up my back, it was Jonah and he was headed to the room across from mine but before he could step in i grabbed him and spinned him around

"hey are you okay?" i asked
he couldn't stop crying "m-my mom s-she just p-passed a-away" he said in-between sobs
"oh my god, Jonah im am so so sorry" i pulled him into a tight hug and let him cry onto my shoulder, i heard a bag crash onto the floor and a huge cry, Jonah let go of me and ran up to her

"m-moma... ze h-heft n-iet... overladen h-heft z-ze?" im pretty sure she was speaking dutch
Jonah nodded and she cried into his shoulder, he picked her up - she was quite small so she was like a child in his arms almost,

"w-we should go t-tate" he said but he handed me a little piece of paper, i opened it and it was his number, i smiled lightly at him and he carried his little sister into their moms room, grabbed their stuff and walked back out....
