Better in time – Leona Lewis.

Chapter One:

It's been the longest winter without you
I didn't know where to turn to

Mitchie Torres sat in her bedroom alone, for the 3rd weekend in a row. Its not that she's stuck in there. She isn't grounded, she isn't sick. She's grieving. It was only last week that she got the call that changed her life. Her boyfriend, the love of her life was on the other end of the line. Not only had she not seen him for 2 months, but the first words that cam out of his mouth was "I have cancer." she reacted like any normal person would. She broke down crying. Cancer. She still couldn't get her mind around it. He's only 20, how can someone so young have cancer? What upset her even more was the fact he was half way around the country and her parents wouldn't let her go see him. Shane's mom said as soon as a room was available they would transfer him to a hospital closer to home, making it easier on the rest of his family, and that she was more then welcome to visit him. As much as mitchie wanted to jump on the next available flight to New York, which is where Shane was, and see him, a part of her was still scared. How sick was he? Would he even be awake? The only thing he had told her was that he had cancer, he never said what type. A knock interrupted her thoughts. She mumbled something, and her mother soon appeared in the doorway.

"Mitchie, Shane's mom just rang. He's being transferred tonight, she invited you to come along, just come downstairs when your ready hon." And with that, she left. Leaving Mitchie alone.
