you live now. So, can you? I really want to tell you this in person."

"Um, sure." I answered, thinking the worse

What if he's dying?

"I'll be there is ten minutes." I smiled warily, hearing him cough again

"Okay, I'll see you soon. I love you, Kelsey." Tears sprang in my eyes again and I smiled widely,

"I love you more." He hung up and I stood up, walking over to my suit case

I pulled out a pair of black skinny jeans and slipped them on before taking Kyle's shirt off and replacing it with a long sleeve purple shirt. I slipped on a pair of socks and my purple Vans before opening the door and running down stairs.

"Jim, Tyson, Talia, Talon, and Caroline, come on. We're going to the hospital." I turned and saw them already dressed with their shoes on, "Okay, guess we're ready to go."

Grabbing my car keys, I opened the front door and walked over to my car. I unlocked the doors and we all got in. Tyson glanced at me and his green eyes bored into mine with an intensity that scared me. I looked away and started the car, backing out of the driveway. I noticed that Kyle's car was gone. My heart sunk a little more as I finally realized that he runs away from his troubles instead of facing them. Is that how our marriage is going to be?

"So, how was your date?" Caroline asked, smiling at me through the rear view mirror

I shrugged, "Fun. Why is Easton in the hospital and exactly how long he's been there?"

"Um, I won't tell you why because I think he wants to tell you but, um, he's been in the hospital...for quite some time." Talon said, burying his face in his hands quickly but I saw the tears rolling down his tanned cheeks

"I-is there something wrong with him?" I asked, pressing down on the gas more, trying to get to the hospital faster

"...Yeah." Caroline nodded, her face puckering up as tears ran down her face like a dam

I clenched my jaw, "And why didn't you guys tell me he wasn't okay?"

"W-we thought it would be better. Easton was getting better so he didn't want you to know but, um, he just...got worse. As if over night." Talia shook her head, leaning into her twin, Talon

I pulled into the hospital and parked, quickly getting out. Waiting for no one, I walked into the hospital doors and to the front desk.

"Um, I'm here to see Easton Montgomery." I said shakily, noticing how my right hand kept twitching

"Are you related to him?" The lady asked politely

"Yes, I'm his sister." I said, brushing a piece of stray hair behind my ear

"Name?" She asked and I clenched my jaw

"Say my name." Talia whispered in my ear, "You're not on his form."

"Talia Montgomery." I answered, watching as the lady nodded and stood up,

"His room is on level 4, room 215." I froze, that's the cancer ward

"No, no, you have to have it wrong. Level 4 is the cancer ward. Easton can't be up there." I said, shaking my head and willing myself not to believe it

I've been in this hospital enough times to know where the cancer ward is. Easton can't be in there.

"Come one, Kelsey." Tyson whispered brokenly, grabbing my arm, "Easton is waiting." They led me to the elevator and pressed the button to level 4

I let Tyson drag me out of the elevator and down the hall with the others following. My mind was blank. No coherent though came to me. It can't be true, though. Easton can't have cancer.

"Um, he wants to talk to you alone first. Then, we will come in." Jimmy smiled, gently pushing me into the room

The door closed behind me with a soft click. Even though the click was barely audible, I flinched.

"You came." A weak, raspy voice said, making my eyes snap to the bed

The sight before me brought tears to my eyes and my bottom lip quivered as I took in the frail, fragile looking Easton. The once buff, big, bubbly Easton wasn't in front of me. A dead looking, hallow person was before me. I clenched my hands tightly and walked over to him,

"E-Easton?" I asked, not believing my eyes as his dull green eyes stared back at me

"Hey, big sister." He smiled and licked his chapped lips

My face puckered up and I broke down in tears, "How long?"

"I found out three years ago." He said in a tight voice and I knew he was trying not to cry

"Three years?" I repeated, shocked, "And you guys didn't tell me? Why not?"

"You were already working hard to get us out of Marc and Mallory's house. Why bother you with something that couldn't fix?" He shrugged slightly and lifted his pale hand up

I placed my hand in his and whimpered at how cold it was, "How could you keep something like this from me?"

"Kelsey," He started gently, "I-I really don't know what to say to make any of this easier. I really don't. You couldn't do anything so why tell you? You were living your life. Being a teenager. You raised us. Took care of us our whole lives, Kelsey. But you couldn't help me through this one. Of course, it would have been great to have you there at all of my Chemo's and whatnot but...I didn't want to put you through anymore pain. We all love you, Kelsey. More than you'll ever know. We didn't want you to have to drop your new life for me. The others didn't like it but finally agreed because it was what I wanted. I didn't even want to tell you tonight but the doctor said I don't have that much longer. I couldn't leave without saying good bye to the best big sister in the world." He smiled and gave my hand a light squeeze

"H-how long do you have?" I asked in a high pitch voice as my throat felt like it was closing

"Until the end of the month." He smiled, "Wow, I feel great now, knowing that you know and being able to see you. I missed you, so much."

I smiled through my tears, "I missed you too, East."

The door opened and Jimmy's nappy red hair came into view. Then, they all walked in, smiling.

"Hey, guys." Easton smiled and pressed a button, making his bed lift up

"Hey, bro." Jimmy grinned, sitting down on Easton's right and grabbed his cold hand, "How you feeling?"

"I've been better." He shrugged, his green eyes sparkled just how they used to

"What cancer do you have?" I asked, moving to the side so Tyson could grab Easton's hand

"Leukemia." He said, still smiling, "I missed you all, so much that I was starting to go insane!" He chuckled but it quickly turned into a coughing fit

"He needs his water." Ty said, reaching over me to grab a cup full of water

After Easton finished, Ty held the cup to his lips and held the back of his head, the water slowly went into his mouth. Ty pulled the cup away and set it down.

"What made the cancer get worse?" Talia asked, standing at the end of the bed

"My bone marrow donor quit. She had to move out of state. They can't find another match and none of you are a match. I know because the doctor told me you all tested. I didn't appreciate it." Easton glared at them all, "I'm glad you guys weren't a match. Bone marrow transfusions hurt. Like a b*tch." He smiled and shook his head

"If I were a match, would it be too late?" I asked, feeling hopeful

"I won't let you." Easton stated, not even glancing at me

"I'm doing it." I said, already walking to the door

"If you do, I will never forgive you. Not even in death." He said, making me close my eyes to fight the tears

Suddenly, a though came to me and I quickly turned around, "I can heal you!" I can, I know I can with my powers

"I don't want to be healed, Kelsey. I just want to go home." He sighed, "Go home and eat peanut butter cookies and skittles till I die. That would make me happy."

"Please, please, let me. I know I can heal you! It might take a few days but I know I can." I said, walking over to his side again, "Please, Easton. We need you."

"How can you heal me?" He asked, letting out another sigh

"I'm a healer." I stated, slipping my hands under his hospital gown

"Whoa! Okay." He muttered, eyes wide, "Kelsey, stop."

"No, I can do this." I closed my eyes, blocking everything out as I channeled my healer powers

Let's hope I can do this.

A/N: Okay, I’ll admit. I cried a little writing this. Mmm, I’m lying. I cried a lot. This really hits home because my grandma died of cancer a few years back buuuuut, I was so young I don’t really remember. Anyway, I hope you liked it and I’m sorry for not updating in so long. 3:)


Chapter 30: Done With It All


Easton frowned at me, "Please, Kelsey. I don't want to go through anymore pain. I just want to go home and live my last moments with you guys."

"I'm not letting you die, Easton." I stated, gritting my teeth at how calm he was about all this, "Shut up and let me do this."

He opened his mouth to complain but quickly shut it, sighing, "Okay."

"Thanks." I said shortly, closing my eyes again, focusing

Soon, I felt he familiar rush of energy leaving me. Gasps erupted around me and I tried to ignore them. I need to focus. Easton has to get better. I need him. We need him.

I moved my hands up to his cold chest that was slowly gaining warmth. A smile threatened to break through but I held it back, pushing more energy into him.

"Where does it hurt, East?" I asked quietly, not opening my eyes

"Um..." I felt him shrug

Sighing, I set a hand on his chest and the other on his thigh. I pushed energy out of me, feeling it go all over his body.

I opened my eyes and sat down, feeling dizzy.

"Kelsey, are you alright?" Jimmy asked, rubbing my back

I nodded, "I'm fine. What about you, East?"

"Fine." He smiled slightly, "How did you do that?"

"I don't even know." I chuckled

"Uh, Declan is calling." Ty stated, confusion on his face

He put the phone to his ear, "Hello?"

"Um, yeah, she's right here. What's wrong?" He asked, frowning

Ty's eyes widened, "Here, tell her."

He shoved the phone in my hand and I put it to my ear, "Yes, Dec?"

"It's Kyle." He sighed, making my heart drop, "He was in an accident. They're taking him to Mercy hospital right now."

"I'm at Mercy
