Is it fate

Mother

After a long moment of silence, a tear dropped from my eye and my mouth was wide open I could not feel any part of my body. The room was so quiet I could hear my heart beat,I felt so cold at a certain point I felt my whole world freeze.

"My Angel..

Hearing my mother call made me get back to reality and just right there I could not control my tears but the moment i looked at my mother I imagined what she could be going through and here I was crying like I was the one caught with Cancer

"Baby girl am really sorry I only thought it was about time we told you,we have kept it from you long enough"

"Dad it is only that you caught me by surprise,I wonder how you have managed to keep such news from me"

"My Angel you where writing your exams and we did not want to disturb you and thought it will be best after writing your finals while waiting for university"

My emotions where all over the room ,I wanted to question my parents and blame them for alot but I couldn't.I told them to excuse me as I needed a moment to think about the news I just heard.

"Aurora I guess you have told them and it didn't go so well just by looking at your face"

"Leon am really sorry I need to be alone right now"

"Wow it was really that bad"

I just gave Leon an eye which he just looked at and raised his hands and said"sorry boss".I just decided to go for a walk which I without realizing it I was standing in front of Aarons house wondering if I should call or not.

"Hey baby"

"Hey how did you know I am out here"

"I just saw you through the window,what's wrong you look lost.Did you tell your parents about us?"

"Yes"

"Ooh was it really that bad,you look like someone just died".

Upon saying that I burst in tears,that scared Aaron so bad that he did not know what to do he them just got me and we went to our spot.

"Baby what really is the matter you are scaring me"

"Babe telling my parents about us isn't why I look like this, dad told me something really disturbing"

"We both knew Mr Johns was not going to take this news well,don't mind what he has told you he will come around."

"No babe what he told me is nothing to do with us.My mother has cancer"

"What!when did they discover this?is she on any treatment? what type of cancer?

"I really don't know,I haven't asked any questions"

upon hearing this Aaron made me realize that my reaction wasn't the best for I could have atleast asked the questions to know more about what my mother is passing through instead of walking out for they kept it a secret to protect my future and that I should go back home and talk to my mother.He escorted me home and helped me put my thoughts together.

"Thank you babe good night"

"he became serious over a sudden and looked straight into my eyes and whispered I love you little girl"

A smile finally appeared on my face and said Babe I m not so little.we both has a smiles on our faces, Aaron then told me I am now ready to talk to my mother.while walking in the house I promise my self not to cry.

"Mother I am sorry,that wasn't the best reaction.

"It is okay my Angel,your father should have seen you are not ready"

"How are you mother?"

"Right now I am much better, I was diagnosed with Cancer a year ago,I am doing Chemotherapy which my doctor says it is going well it is only that I have started loosing my hair"

"what type of cancer do you have?"

"I have Leukemia"

"Baby girl let your mother rest if you have any more questions do it tomorrow".

I went to my room and did alot if research about leukemia,I wished dad didn't tell me but the other part of me was glad he did.While busy researching Leon crossed my mind and remembered I didn't leave him in a good state.i then grabbed my phone and texted him to come over.

"Hey boss we can talk now"

Looking at him I told Leon everything he hugged me so tight it only made me bust into tears,we laid down and dozed off,I felt so comforted having having my best friend.Dad later on came to the room and found us sleeping and turned the lights off.Early in the morning we heard sounds and I woke up.Leon was gone.

"Mother what is happening?"

"don't worry angel it is nothing"

"Mother you look pale,your hair!!"
