"Okay how did you finish all your school work already!" Carlos screamed out as he looked at Evie who was sitting on Ava's bed holding the small toddler close to her while they were watching Dragon Tales again as Mal had no energy to do anything else.

It had been about a week since they had been discharged from the hospital and in that time Evie's adoption had gotten approved meaning she was officially living with them all and had quickly become one of Mal's favorites. Carlos had also finally given up on his idea of still going to Auradon Prep as he wanted to be close to his baby sister to be there for her.

Carlos was now going to the same school as Evie and Carlos was struggling with the transfer of schools. He wasn't used to how they did things and he was starting to really miss his old school.

Evie just laughed a little as she continued to rub her fingers through Mal's thinning hair making Ava groan a little as she had been telling Evie over and over again to not do that as it was better to not mess with her hair as much, but Mal felt comfort from it, so Evie kept doing it.

"Because I don't procrastinate! Unlike someone!" Evie playfully told her brother, making Carlos roll his eyes as he looked up from his project. "Hey I have an excuse!" Carlos screamed out causing Ava to lose it as she put her textbook down as she was getting sick of Carlos trying to use Mal's cancer as an excuse for everything.

She was struggling trying to make things work and here Carlos was using it as an excuse to get out of things and Ava knew Carlos wasn't trying to be insensitive, but it was just hard because she was struggling trying to provide for them all and pay for treatment while constantly monitoring Mal.

Ava couldn't risk anything as Mal could go from happy and healthy to basically dying in the matter of seconds right now. Ava just quickly looked at her brother in frustration as she pointed to the struggling toddler on the bed who was barely even awake as she was just feeling exhausted and sick.

"You are not using the cancer card!" Ava screamed out in frustration making Carlos sigh as he really was struggling in school. It was hard for him to concentrate knowing his sister could be dying, but he didn't want people to see that.

Ava was going through a lot and the last thing she needed was another struggling kid and Carlos was pretty good with holding in his emotions. "But it's true!" Carlos screamed out making Ava get more frustrated.

"I know it's true! But you're not using it!" Ava screamed out as she was just way too stressed and tired as she hadn't been able to relax let alone sleep for weeks after finding out about Mal having cancer.

Carlos just looked over as he got a small glimpse of his struggling baby sister and he quickly held back tears not wanting to look like he was struggling as he quickly put his act back on as he pretended to just care about not doing work when that was far from the truth.

"But I'm gonna fail this project!" Carlos screamed out, keeping up his act. Ava, still not able to see through Carlos' act just got more upset as she pointed to Evie who had completed all her work as Evie was a model student and had always been.

"That's on you! Evie managed to get hers completed!" Ava screamed out making Evie smile proudly about herself as she couldn't help it. She loved showing off it was just who she was. "Not just completed I got my grade already! I got a 100! Take that! I'm so getting into this school!" Evie screamed out excitedly as she was always working hard on her school work and just wanted to get into BHU so much.

Carlos just sighed as he looked at his sister. He loved Evie, but he could tell that Evie was just a better kid than he was and it was obvious that Ava was starting to prefer her over him. It was making him a little jealous even though he would never admit it.

"Yeah but you've been going to this school since forever! I just started!" Carlos quickly told his sister trying to stop the comparison between him and Evie as it was starting to bother him and make him feel bad.

He was trying his best, but no matter what he did he just couldn't figure it out while Evie could do it so easily. Evie quickly noticed that her brother needed help as she motioned for Carlos to come by her as she wanted to help him, but she also didn't want to disturb the sick toddler that was cuddled up on her.

"It's easy! Here let me help!" Evie told her brother wanting to make him feel better. Carlos just smiled as he looked at his sister happy that she was willing to help him, but Ava quickly stopped him as she didn't like that Carlos was using Evie for everything.

"No!" Ava screamed out as she looked at Carlos making him upset. "Come on why not!" Carlos screamed out making Ava roll her eyes as Carlos had tried this on her earlier.

"Because I know what you're doing! You're gonna make Evie do all the work!" Ava screamed out as she was just not in the mood and she just wanted to relax, but she couldn't risk it. Carlos just rolled his eyes.

"What! No I'm not!" Carlos screamed out making Ava get annoyed again. "I'm not stupid! You tried that trick on me earlier!" Ava screamed out making Carlos not be able to control it anymore as he slammed his books down.

"Ugh this isn't fair! Why do I even have to do school work when my baby sister has cancer!" Carlos screamed out causing Ava to lose it again as she couldn't take it anymore. Carlos wasn't taking anything seriously while she was struggling.

"There you go again! Carlos this isn't some joke! You can't just use Mal's cancer to your advantage!" Ava screamed out as she started to get really angry causing the small girl who had been peacefully watching Tv to start crying in fear.

Evie just quickly pulled the toddler closer as she hummed a little bit. "Aw it's okay sweetie. Ava maybe you just need a break! You look like you could use one!" Evie told Ava wanting to stop the fighting from escalating as she could tell it was getting bad.

Ava just looked at her sister as if she lost it as she couldn't believe Evie would bring up something like that when she knew how much care and attention Mal required right now. "I can't! Mal requires constant surveillance!" Ava screamed out making Evie smile a little as she carefully got up from the bed with the toddler and stood by Carlos.

"But Carlos and I can handle it!" Evie told Ava making Ava look at the younger two as if they had lost it. They had no clue how dangerous that could be as Mal was very sensitive and anything could make her go from happy and healthy to dying. She wouldn't risk that.

"You're 14! I'm not leaving two 14 year olds in charge of a toddler with Leukemia! Her health can go from 0-100 real quick!" Ava screamed out making Evie hold back her urge to cry at Ava's tone as it was starting to remind her of her foster mom, but Evie quickly recovered as she looked at Ava.

"What about your friend Alison!" Evie asked her sister trying to calm her down as she remembered the really nice lady that had taken time to talk to her and get to know her when Ava was too stressed out to even look at her.

"What about her!" Ava screamed out not getting what Evie was saying causing Evie to start getting more scared, but she quickly covered it up again as Ava hadn't fully lashed out on her yet.

"She can be here too, so that way if anything does happen there's an adult! I'm really worried about you! You barely sleep or eat! And you look super stressed!" Evie told her sister as she was really worried about her big sister and just wanted to help her.

Ava just completely lost it after that as she was just not in the mood for anything causing her to lash out on Evie without realizing it.

"Of course! Our baby sister who I am raising as a 20 year old in college has cancer and can go from totally fine to needing to be rushed to the hospital! How can I possibly not be stressed! And you are not helping! I don't need you to constantly baby me! And your cheery voice is just so annoying and not helpful at all! Just stop trying to help all the time! You can't fix anything!" Ava screamed out to Evie causing Evie to start crying as she started getting flashbacks to her foster mom who would yell at her like that.

"I am so sorry! I was just trying to help! My foster mom was right, I'm nothing and I'm just a burden to everyone!" Evie sobbed out as she started gasping for air causing Ava to quickly snap out of her anger as she ran to Evie in concern.

"Evie, calm down! It's okay! I didn't mean that! I am so sorry! You are not a burden and you do help a lot. I'm just really tired and stressed and I really shouldn't have taken it out on you. Come here I love you okay. Please I am so so so sorry! You're right Evie I need a break. I just worry so much about Mal and what if something happens while I'm gone! I'll never forgive myself!" Ava cried out as she pulled Evie close to her making Evie relax as she looked at Ava.

"It's okay you just really reminded me of The Evil Queen for a second," Evie told Ava, making Ava look at Evie in concern as Evie had a panic attack because she thought she sounded like her foster mom.

"Evie am so sorry! And what did your foster mom do to you," Ava told Evie making her shrug a little as she picked up the toddler. "Oh you know just yelled a lot and sometimes she would throw stuff at me. You know the usual, but it's fine now! I mean I have a nice home now with amazing siblings. And Ava please just call Alison you really need a small break," Evie told her sister, making Ava sigh as she still wasn't sure.

Carlos decided to join in after that as he walked over to them all. "I agree with Evie!" Carlos told Ava making her roll her eyes as she knew Carlos was just trying to get out of his work.

"Of course you do because you think it'll get you out of your school work!" Ava told her little brother, making him roll his eyes as he just wanted to help his sister, but Ava was still being stubborn.

"No I'm serious! Ava this isn't good for your health either! Just call Alison! She can be in charge for a few hours!" Carlos told Ava, making her sigh as she looked at her concerned siblings.

"Alright fine! I'll call Alison, but I still feel like I shouldn't do this," Ava told her siblings as she grabbed her phone and called Alison to come help. Ava sighed when a few minutes later she heard a knock at the door as Alison had arrived already.

Ava just looked at her friend still feeling uneasy about this. "Are you sure about this! What if she spikes a fever or something! Or what if she needs another blood transfusion! You know what, I can't do this! I'm sorry for wasting your time!" Ava rambled out worriedly to Alison as she wanted a break, but there was just too much that could go wrong.

Alison just quickly pulled her friend into a hug as she was worried about her friend as well as Ava looked like she was struggling.

"Ava, look at me it's going to be fine okay. Just go relax a little bit. I promise I have everything under control. And I have your list right here of all signs and all emergency numbers. Along with what medicine to take and when. Everything will be fine as long as you don't do anything stupid!" Alison told Ava trying to reassure her that she had everything under control.

Ava just nodded, still not feeling right about it. "Okay, but I still feel like I shouldn't do this!" Ava told Alison who just smiled as she pushed Ava out the door. "Go I promise I can handle it!" Alison told Ava as she made Ava leave and then turned her attention back to the others as she figured this would be easy. It couldn't be that hard right.
