" I guess when you watch it you're more interested in learning how to help. Or in your case live through it," Leah said. She looked over at him. "I want to help so badly but there's nothing I can do...." Leah sighed. She wished she knew. A cute for cancer and wished she could help Alec.

Ashton nodded. "Exactly," he said. He'd always wanted to be a doctor, but having cancer made that dream so much more real for him. Eventually he wanted to go into cancer research, if he ever got the opportunity, since it such a serious subject for him. "Cancer sucks. And it sucks even more when you know that there's nothing that can help. But don't give up hope, okay? I know you've probably heard that a million times, but seriously. They told me I had three months to live when I was fifteen, and look at me now."

"Alec doesn't have a set time, I hope he never does," Leah said quietly she just looked over at Ashton. "To feel like you're gonna die it's horrible right? Like when you found out you were dying what did you wnat more than anything? " Leah asked.

Ashton sighed, then laughed a little. "Want to hear a funny story?" he said. "You see, when the doctors first told me that I only had a few more months, my first thought was 'Shit. I'm going to die a virgin.' But then I just wanted to be with my family more than anything." Ashton then remembered what he'd overheard the other day while checking Alec's vitals. "Wait a minute, Alec didn't tell you, did he?" he asked suddenly.

"Tell me that he didn't wnat to die a virgin? He's told me that plenty of times and I refuse to play match maker," Leah said with a small laugh. She looked over at Ashton. "No guy wants to die a virgin."

Ashton shook his head. "No, that's not what I meant..." Ashton had no idea how to say what he needed to. He knew that if Alec didn't tell Leah, there was a reason for it. But Ashton figured that she deserved to know. "The doctors...they've given Alec a few more months, tops. I'm so sorry, Leah."

Leah laughed a little nervously. "Right tags funny ashton," Leah said sarcastically. "Yknow I for once thought someone was cool and now this. You tell me that. There's some jokes in this world but that's not something you just around about. Fuck off ashton just fuck off." Leah said. She felt so hurt she didn't know how someone could joke about that.

Ashton shook his head. "Leah, I'm not joking. I wish I was joking," he said, his eyes begging her to believe him. He, of all people, would never joke about that sort of thing. He couldn't believe that Alec hadn't told his sister about the news. But obviously she was clueless, and he was afraid that this would ruin any chance he had at being friends with her.

Leah felt her self start to cry. "No that's not true he would've told me," Leah said quietly. "He would've told me!" Leah said mainly trying to convince herself. She leaned back against the wall in the car garage. "He would've told me, he wouldn't let me think that." Leah said unable to stop herself from crying.

Ashton wanted to just wrap his arms around Leah and let her cry, but he wasn't sure if that would be too friendly or not. "Leah, I'm so sorry. I figured he would have told you. I didn't know." Ashton stood there awkwardly, unsure of how to react to this. He was never very good at comforting people.

Leah just sunk to the ground and wrapped her arms around herself. Last time she was told that her dad died a few days later. "I can't lose him I don't wanna lose him. I just want him I wanna go back," Leah said. She had never had a full on break down in front of someone but now she was. She hated it so much.

Ashton put a hand on Leah's shoulder, deciding that was probably still along the friendly line. "I know," he said. "I'm sorry." He wasn't sure what else he could say. For someone who wanted to be a doctor, he definitely had no idea how to comfort someone after giving them bad news.

"I need to go back. I need to see Alec, " Leah stood up and began to walk back even though she felt really dizzy from standing too fast. She wasn't sure if Ashton was following her and at this point age didn't Carr. She wanted Alec that's all.

Ashton shook his head. "Leah, stop," he said. "You need to rest. So does he. He'll still be there in the morning, okay?" Ashton kept his hand on her shoulder, noticing how dizzy she was. He wasn't sure if he wasn't handling this well, but he was trying his best.

"How do you know he will be?!" Leah yelled. "He could die tomorrow. He could die tonight! " Leah said. "Last time I heard this I watched my dad die a couple days later. I was next to him on his bed when he died!" Leah yelled. "And I'm spending as much time with Alec as I can."
