"s-sick?" i stuttered

"tomorrow, she has a doctors appointment, we think that she's...we think she could have cancer" i saw the pain in his eyes as he said that

i stopped what i was doing and just stood there, and stared at him, i didn't know how to react, i cant loose my mother, i wont let it happen

"w-what?" i said tears beginning to form in my eyes

"come here" he said extending his arms

i practically ran into him, he wrapped his arms around my neck as i held his torso and just cried, i let it all out

a few minutes had gone by with my dad cooing me and telling me it would be okay when i heard footstep slowly getting closer and closer

"did you tell her?" i heard max say

my dad nodded as he pulled away from my hug we were in

i wiped under my eyes and looked up at max, he had mason and maddie hid behind his back

"do they all know?" i cried

"we do now" mason frowned

i nodded as i pushed past everyone as went to my bed

"i'm going to sleep, i don't want to talk right now" i said to them

they knew that i wasn't in the mood to talk, so with that, they left me, alone.

"hellooo?"

ross.

"shit hey" i sniffled picking my phone up from my bed as i sat crossed legged

"kenzie!? what happened? are you crying? why? what? when?" he rambled

"ross, listen to me" the tears were coming back

"what?"

"i don't know if i'll be able to see you" i mumbled

"what? why" he said in confusion

"my mum...we think she has cancer" i cried

"baby no, i'm so sorry" he said quickly

i shook my head and wiped the tears "facetime me please, i don't want to think about it"

it went silent for a second before my phone vibrated against my ear, i pulled it away and saw ross' face looking worriedly into the screen

i accepted it but threw my phone down

"i'm going to change" i told him

he didn't reply, so i'm guessing he just nodded, but i didn't see

i changed into one of ross' shirts that smelt exactly like him still, with some joggers i didn't bother brushing hair or anything, i turned the light off and just crawled into bed

i put my phone on my bedside table standing up so it was facing me

ross couldn't see much because of how dark my room was but i was still kind of visisble

"do you want to talk?" he asked with guilt in his tone

i shook my head

"just be there, that's all i need" i whispered

i saw him nod before leaning his phone up as he layed down in his bunk

"goodnight beautiful" he whispered
