I had begun to felt like a big sister to her. At the pizza party, all of us had bonded a lot more because we kind of had to. Who else were we going to hang out with?

Aimee
Hi

Isabelle
Just wanted to check up on you

Aimee
I am okay

Isabelle
Really?

Aimee
No. That was a lie. I don't feel so good because I refuse to let the doctors work

Isabelle
Oh, Aimee, that's not good. I get it, I refused to be fed, but my head is much clearer now that I am being looked after.

Aimee
Really?

Isabelle
Yeah... you're gonna come to chemo tomorrow, right?"

Aimee
I guess, yeah. I am really scared

Isabelle
Yeah, I get it. I'll be there! I am coming back to hospital tomorrow morning

Aimee
Good. I might let them give me medicine and food now

Isabelle
Great idea! I'll see you tomorrow, sleep well.

"Who are you texting?"

"Aimee,"

"From the hospital?"

"Yeah,"

"How is she getting on?" Ashton asked, turning the film on.

"She said she might eat and let the doctors give her medicine now, so I guess she hasn't been doing either,"

"Bless her little cotton socks,"

"Do her parents stay?"

"They work out of town, so no,"

"Oh, that must be hard,"

"They do visit all the time, they just can't stay,"

I nodded and turned my phone off, putting the dvd in the tv since they were eating now. Kaykay threw a blanket over me and tickled my chin, but I swat her hand and dropped my jaw.

"I am 16!"

"And?"

"I'm not a baby ,"

"You wanted me to cuddle you all of last night,"

"But you don't need to tickle me!"

Ash sniggered and I turned to him, raising my eyebrows.

"You did it too!"

"When?"

"When you fed me,"

He broke into laughter and I hit his leg, grinning myself.

"I am sick, but I am still 16,"

"She's back," Kaykay said, "The sass is back,"

"The sass never went. Now shush, the film is on,"

I tried not to think about going back to that dreaded, boring and quiet hospital room tomorrow and enjoy the film. Kaykay gave me a little bit of cake to eat, and then I decided to squish myself between them and rest in Ashton's arms.

Thankfully he wasn't sick anymore, because I really couldn't do that again.

He traced small hearts on my arm as we watch the film, and I was finally able to relax.

"You guys make me so happy,"

"You make us happy!" Kaykay said, squeezing my shoulder, "Shall we go and pack some bits for the hospital?"

"I guess,"

"They're gonna crank the heating up soon, it's getting colder, so I'd take some tshirts incase you get hot," Ash said, "I am gonna call my mum if that's okay,"

He kissed my cheek and then I followed Kaykay upstairs, opening my wardrobe.

"Izz, do these clothes all fit? I mean, these look tiny,"

"No. We were gonna order comfy clothes, remember?"

"Oh gosh, I am so sorry. We can do that in a moment,"

"The clothes should fit," I mumbled, "I am always too swollen,"

"Well we can always save them for after your treatment,"

"They're years old anyway,"

"Pack what fits and I'll tackle the rest,"

I put my joggers in the bag, as well as my jumpers, but most of my tops were tight fitting and when I tried one on, I just got upset.

"We can get Ash to lend you some, then order new tops,"

"Okay,"

"You're still beautiful,"

"I have tubes poking out of me,"

"It doesn't matter. You are my very gorgeous little sister,"

"I am quite little compared to you,"

"I know. When they said they were having you, it was quite a surprise,"

"Probably wanted to have something else to glue them together once you were gone,"

"Maybe so," she mumbled, "That didn't work I guess,"

"At least I am here now, with you guys. You have no idea how wanted you make me feel,"
