"We'll normally I torment why the nurses. I used to go out to lunch with my friends but my pass was taken away cause something that happened but normally I go out with them." Alec said by them he met Clara the rest were dead. "I miss my camaro," Alec said with a laugh.

"That sucks." Heather mused, casting a look towards the front of the room. "So essentially I can't just up and leave?" Heather had thought about it a few times but more often than not she had so little energy to do most things let alone sneak out.

"Nope you have to have permission normally your parents can get you out but in your case they probably wouldn't be able to." Alec said he sighed and looked at her. "But the good news this isn't your last stop." Alec said meaning its not like shed never get out of the hospital.

Groaning, Heather rubbed a hand over her eye, that was not good news. On the other hand, Alec was right, this was not her last stop, she refused to stay here forever."How long have you been here, Alec?" If you had cancer and you were in a hospital, didn't that kind of give the idea that this was where you'd probably spend the rest of your days?

"363 days." Alec said. If you were here more than a year you didn't jormally ever leave. Alec didn't like to think about that though if he did that meant he'd spend the rest of his life worrying about it when he didn't want that.

"2 days off a whole year." That was a long time to stay in one building. "Here I am thinking that being here nearly a month is bad, but damn, Alec that's a long time to stay in a hospital." Fingers tracing the title on her book, Heather tried to imagine staying here that long, she didn't want to.

"Its better than dying and don't feel bad about complaining I was just like you my first month." Alec said. He sighed. He had a twst today and it pretty much the sooner thwy determined how much closer he was to death. The tumor was hitting one of his organs and wven Alec knew it was he didn't need the test.

Heather guessed that most people had the same attitude she did towards hospitals, they definitely weren't viewed as a good omen in Heather's mind. "Do you go to the group therapy sessions or whatever they're called?" Heather had been invited to them but since she knew no one there, she'd declined going, talking about her feelings was not the kind of therapy she needed.

"Sometimes my parents force me but I domr like them. Irs so depressing half kids have atage one cancer and yhe ones that have worse are almost always forced to go. " Alec felt like the group sessions were just talks about death and that was it and it was really really depressing.

"Don't the kids from the Mental Ward go sometimes?" On a late night wondering, Heather has passed the ward, taking one look at the name plaque and carried on walking, night time and virtually crazy people did not seem like a good mix.

"No they have their own sessions based on their dieases and such." Alec said. "If yoj go I'm sure my friend clara and I wouldn't mind joining you shes been here longer than me." Alec said. He smiled at her as he tried to be friendly.

"Thanks, I'll keep that in mind." And she would, if she ever felt like going she most definitely would not go alone to what sounded like an hour of boredom mixed with too many morbid thoughts. Cracking a rare smile, Heather wasn't sure what to say for a moment before she felt like apologizing for her behavior earlier, "I'm sorry that I was a bitch earlier, this is all just very new to me. I guess I wasn't prepared for a welcome committee of sorts."

"I cursed a doctor out almost everyday my first month here." Alec said with a laugh. "It doesn't seem like j have an attitude but I can if you piss me off." Alec said he looked over at Heather and gave her a guikty smile.

"That's because it's rare to get a good doctor. For months I had multiple doctors tell me that what I was suffering from was growing pains and stress." Stress did trigger the pain though, so did cold weather but that was beside the point, the point was that her doctors were awful until she'd come here, not that she'd admit to that.

" It's just a matter of getting used To doctors and understanding that they dong always understand and don't wanna assume the worst." Alec said. It was true though. It was very rare to have a doctor who understood the feelings you were feeling because none of them had been through it
