2024-10-29 19:42:56As Isla's best friend and cousin, I was devastated when I read the results of her tests. Leukemia. The word echoed in my head, a dark and ominous cloud looming over everything. I felt tears prick at the corners of my eyes, but I held them back, not wanting to add to Isla's distress.
I knew Isla was a fighter, but the news was still heavy. It was difficult to process the fact that my cousin was facing a serious illness. All I wanted to do was hold her and tell her that everything was going to be okay, even though I knew deep down that it wasn't going to be that easy.
But I also knew that Isla was a strong person and that she had a lot of people who loved and cared for her. I vowed to be there for her every step of the way, no matter what the future held.
I sat there, feeling helpless as I listened to Isla's sobs coming from the other side of the door. My heart ached for her, and I wished that there was something I could do to take away her pain.
But I knew

"I needed some space to think.""You can't just disappear for a week without telling anyone," my father said, his voice rising. "We were worried sick about you.""I'm sorry," I said, feeling a sense of guilt wash over me. "I didn't mean to cause yo

FELIX'S POINT OF VIEWI heard the sound of the front door opening and closing, followed by the sound of footsteps. I looked up from my book and saw my brother, Jake, standing in the doorway with a big grin on his face. I couldn't believe it - he was finally back from Australia after all these years.I quickly got up from my chair and walked over to him, feeling a mix of excitement and nervousness. We hadn't seen each other in so long, and I wasn't sure what to expect. But as soon as I saw his familiar face, all my worries melted away."Hey, little bro," Jake said, pulling me into a hug. "It's so good to see you.""It's good to see you too," I replied, feeling a lump form in my throat. "I've missed you so much."We spent the next few hours catching up and reminiscing about old times.

As we walked into Isla's hospital room, I couldn't help but feel a sense of sadness wash over me. It was hard to see my cousin lying in the hospital bed, clearly in pain. But I knew that we were here to help her forget about that pain, even if just for a little while. Max and I had planned this girls' night out for days, hoping to provide a much-needed distraction for Isla. Max had brought a variety of snacks, while I had picked out a movie that I knew we would all enjoy. As we settled in, I could see Isla's eyes light up with excitement. For a few hours, we forgot about the hospital room and the IVs, and the pain. We laughed at the silly scenes in the movie and munched on chips and popcorn. Isla even forgot about her nausea and ate more than we had seen her eat in weeks. As the night wore on, I knew that we couldn't make Isla's pain disappear entirely. But for a little while, we had given her a break from it. And at that moment, that was all that mattered.I sat down next to

"Thank you," I said, smiling back at him."Are you okay?" he asked, looking concerned."Yeah, I'm fine. I was just on my way to see my cousin Isla," I replied."Isla? I know her, Jake," the man said, extending his hand."Iris," I replied, shaking his hand.As we stood up, I couldn't help but feel a little flustered by how attractive and charming the doctor was.

But I really love him, and he loves me too," I said."Well, that's a good start," Isla said, encouragingly."I know, I just don't want to rush into anything too quickly," I said, still uncertain. "But I can see myself being with him for a long time. He's just so kind and caring, and we have so much fun together." Isla nodded in agreement. "That's important in a relationship.

The doctor's words echoed in my head: "There's something in your stomach, Max."My stomach churned as I waited for the doctor to explain further. Was it cancer? A tumor?
