Cancer's a B****

**The next morning**

I woke up to the door being opened, Becca (aunty) walked in and went straight to her bed, crashing down on it, her breathing slowed and I knew she was asleep. I bet her work had made her do another overnighter, she works at some law firm in town and sometimes they need her overnight to help them with something even though they know that she works 7 days a week. She had to get a job at this place because following her dreams of becoming a photographer didn't pay enough where as the job that she is in does. I got up and changed out of my pjs (flannelette shorts and a t-shirt) and into some clothes (High-waisted shorts and a 'Lower' top). I brushed out my just below shoulder length, chocolate brown hair and pulled it into a plait that sat on my right shoulder then bobby-pinned the loose bits. I went out into the corridor and saw Haley bringing around everyones breakfasts, she had just started so I went down to the trolley and took out the next one down "JOHNSON, Timothy". I went into the room straight in front of me and saw Tim and Carol watching SpongeBob, I handed Tim his breakfast and left the room to help Haley finish the rest of the breakfasts. We handed them out in record time so I sat at the nurses station with Haley, eating my breakfast,

"So, who have I got today?" I asked Haley.

"You've got me till lunch then Kim after lunch, and I hear you're going out at lunch,"

"Yep, with Kim, we're going to the shopping centre to see if j can find some new clothes that I can wear next week for when Justin Bieber comes to New Zealand. I'm so excited,"

"Well I think it's cool that you have something good going on in your life, I know that the last few years have been tough for you and your aunty, you know, with your parents' deaths and all,"

"I think it's been pretty alright, I mean, at least the cancer hasn't gotten any worse,"

"But it hasn't gotten any better either,"

"It will, it always does, anywho, I'm gonna go see if my Becca's awake yet, they had her working late again last night, she came in this morning looking like she was dead in her feet,"

"That sucks, ring in and say she's sick, she can get some more sleep,"

"Yeah, I might do that,"

"Ok, and when do you want that port un-accessed?"

"It doesn't need to be, I have surgery this afternoon so I'll just get it unclipped from the machine so they can still use it,"

"Ok, well I'll be down in a few to do that,"

"Ok," I walked down the hallway and into my room to see Becca getting ready and not looking much better than she did when she walked in.

"Becca, you're not going go work today,"

"Yeah I am, I have to,"

"No, I'll ring you in sick, you need sleep,"

"We need the money,"

"It'll be a sick day, you get paid, you have a certain amount each year and you haven't used any so you're going to use one now," She didn't say a word after that, just collapsed back onto the bed and let her breathing slow once again.

The next few days flew by; Becca went back to work but she wasn't as tired as she usually was, she only did overtime once a week so she didn't get overcome with fatigue (A/N: That means sleepiness right?), they did a scan instead of surgery because my surgeon was busy operating on an emergency patient (I haven't got the results back yet), I picked out a really cute outfit from Glassons with the help of Kim and Haley (who we had invited at the last minute) and before I knew, I was watching Justin Bieber stepping off the plane live on E! while changing into my outfit. It cut to the news presenter lady saying,

"We have been told that Justin Bieber's first stop in New Zealand is going to be Starship hospital..." I let the tv drone around while I squealed and jumped around, still trying to get dressed, after I had finally pulled my top over my head I got my hair straighteners and and straightened out my wavy hair, I pulled my bangs back over my hair and clipped them. I looked in the mirror and thought, 'Im happy with this' then walked down to the nurses station, Kim was there, typing away on the computer while listening to the radio, it said that JB was about 20 minutes away. I heard the loud beep that signals that someone is ringing for the nurse, I looked down the corridor and saw the number box outside Timothy's room was lit up,
