"Okay so we have that huge test tomorrow, so what did you get for number five," Ava asked her friends as it had been a few days since they had gotten back from the hospital and they were waiting on the results.

     Ava had quickly fallen back into her normal routine and right now she was studying with her friend while Mal was just quietly playing with her toys next to her as Mal still barely had any energy.

      Ava was interrupted though when her phone rang causing her to groan as she saw it was an unknown number. Ava was going to ignore it until she remembered that she was still waiting on Mal's results.

      Ava just sighed as she hit answer not expecting it to actually be anyone though. Ava was surprised when she heard someone actually answer though. "Hi is this Ava Jalali?" The person on the phone asked Ava making her roll her eyes as she didn't know who was calling.

      "Um yeah who is this?" Ava asked, making the receptionist sigh. "I'm the receptionist at Oregon Children's Hospital. We have Mal Jalali's results and we would like to see you right away," the receptionist told Ava, making her freeze up as she dropped the phone and broke down sobbing.

       Dylan and Caitlin immediately became concerned when they saw Ava break down sobbing on the floor as they quickly ran over to her. "Ava what's going on!" Dylan screamed out in concern.

      Ava just ignored him as she kept sobbing and then grabbed her alcohol as she started chugging it trying to numb the pain. Dylan and Caitlin quickly became more concerned as they ran over to her again.

      "Ava! What are you doing!" Dylan screamed out as he was worried about her. Ava just ignored him again as she kept chugging. "Ava seriously you're freaking us out! What happened!" Caitlin told Ava making her lose it.

       "WHAT HAPPENED? WHAT HAPPENED? REALLY! YOU WANNA KNOW WHAT HAPPENED! FINE THAT WAS THE HOSPITAL THEY WANNA SEE US RIGHT AWAY! WHY DOES LIFE HATE MY FAMILY SO MUCH! WHAT DID I EVER DO TO MAKE LIFE HATE ME AND MY FAMILY SO MUCH!" Ava screamed out as she continued to just sob and drink.

       Caitlin just ran over and hugged Ava as she wanted to help. "Ava calm down. It's going to be okay," Caitlin told Ava, making hefr scoff as she pushed Caitlin off of her.

         "HOW CAN YOU SAY THAT! YOU SAY THAT EVERY TIME! AND EVERY SINGLE TIME IT GETS WORSE!" Ava screamed out making Caitlin sigh as she just wanted to help her friend.

        "Ava I'm just trying to look at the positives," Caitlin began to say, but Ava cut her off not wanting to hear it. "WHAT POSITIVES!  THERE ARE NONE! NOW IF YOU WILL EXCUSE ME I HAVE TO GO!" Ava screamed out as she picked up the toddler and left.

         The small girl just looked at Ava in confusion as she didn't understand what was going on. "Mama why you ma?" Mal asked Ava who sighed as she buckled Mal into her car seat.

        "Mal sweetie it's very complicated," Ava told the toddler who nodded. "Otay! Mama wew we go?" The small girl asked Ava, but quickly started crying when she saw them pull up to the hospital.

       "NO!" The small girl screamed out making Ava sigh. "Mal we have to!" Ava told the toddler who started screaming more, not wanting to go back into the hospital. Ava just sighed as she got out of the car and picked up the screaming toddler.

     "NO! NO! NO!" The small girl screamed out making Ava sigh. "Mal we have to!" Ava screamed out as she just held the thrashing toddler and entered the hospital.

      Ava sighed as she entered the hospital and then sat down in the exam room waiting for the doctor to explain the results that she already knew was gonna be bad.

     "Mama!" The small girl asked Ava, making her sigh. "Yeah Mal?" Ava asked the toddler who just looked at her. "Why we hew aben?" Mal asked Ava who sighed as she hated this.

       "Because the doctors have to tell us something," Ava told the toddler who nodded. "Oh otay!" The small girl screamed out as she went back to playing on her tablet. A few minutes later the doctor entered looking sad making Ava sigh as she knew she was about to get bad news.

        Once the doctor entered she just looked at Ava. "So I can tell from your reaction that you already know her results weren't good," the doctor told Ava sadly making Ava nod. "I figured," Ava told the doctor who just nodded as she sat down by Ava.

      "I really hate having to say this but unfortunately your child has Leukemia. I am so sorry," the doctor told Ava and those four words just hit her like a ton of bricks as she realized her worst fears were happening.

      "She has cancer?" Ava asked as she didn't know what else to say. She couldn't believe this was really happening. "Unfortunately yes I am so sorry!" The doctor told Ava who just broke down sobbing again trying to wrap her brain around what was happening.

        "She's lucky it was caught early though. And I know this is hard, but she has a very high survival rate. Most children diagnosed with Leukemia go into remission and live long lives. But of course it's going to be a long and difficult journey," the doctor told Ava trying to reassure her that this wasn't the end.

        Ava just nodded as she kept crying, not even really listening as all her brain was thinking about was how her baby sister had cancer. "Mama why you cwy?" The small girl asked Ava as she saw her break down crying again.

        Ava just looked over at the happy and smiley innocent toddler as she just broke down crying more as she thought about how much Mal was going to go through. "Mama! No cwy!" The two year old screamed out as she tried to wipe Ava's tears away, but Ava just started crying more.

       The doctor just looked at the confused toddler as she felt so bad for her. "Hi sweetie do you wanna go play over there with the toys?" The doctor asked the toddler wanting to keep talking to Ava without distractions.

        Mal just giggled and nodded as she ran over to go play with the toys. Once she knew the toddler was occupied the doctor looked at Ava who was still sobbing as she couldn't believe this was happening.

     "Now I understand this is hard but we need to talk about what to do next. There is this really great children's cancer treatment center and I can arrange for you to get an appointment to discuss treatment and what to do next moving forward," The doctor told Ava who just nodded as she was just feeling numb right now.

      "Okay I just set it up. They can get you in there right away," The doctor told Ava who just nodded again, still barely able to say anything as she just looked at the toddler. "Mal let's go!" Ava screamed out making the small girl smile as she came over to Ava.

       "Mama we go howm?" Mal asked Ava who sighed again as she picked up Mal and buckled her into her car seat. "No Mal we have to go to another place now," Ava told the toddler who nodded.

       "An den howm?" The small toddler asked Ava who just tried not to cry as she honestly didn't know when they would be home. " I don't know," Ava told the toddler who just nodded as she bounced around to the music not understanding what was going on.

        Ava just started silently crying again as she drove to the children's cancer center she was being sent to. Ava sighed as the small toddler continued to just giggle in her car seat.

       "Baby Sawk!" Mal screamed out excitedly making Ava groan as she didn't want to listen to a cheerful and upbeat song. "Mal please I don't feel like listening to that right now," Ava told the toddler, making her start crying.

       "Baby Sawk! Baby Sawk! Baby Sawk!" The small girl screamed out as she started kicking, making her nose start bleeding again. "Mama! Bweed!" The small girl screamed out again as she felt the blood.

        Ava just groaned as she looked back to see Mal's nose bleeding again. "Sh**! Okay Mal I got it!" Ava screamed out as she pulled over into the nearest parking lot and got out a napkin as she applied it to Mal's nose to stop the bleeding.

       "There is that better?" Ava asked the toddler who just nodded while still crying. "Baby Sawk?" Mal asked Ava again, making her nod as she got back into the car not wanting another nosebleed.

        "Okay fine here Mal we'll play Baby Shark," Ava told the toddler as she put on Mal's favorite song and kept driving. The small girl smiled happily as she clapped her hands. "Yay! Baby Sawk!" The small girl screamed out as she began to bounce in her car seat again.

        Ava just groaned as she didn't want another nose bleed. "Mal no! No bouncing around right now! " Ava screamed out, making the toddler stop as she looked at Ava in confusion.

         "Why no?" Mal asked Ava who just groaned as she wasn't having a good day and didn't like arguing with the toddler. "Because I said so!" Ava screamed out making the toddler nod. "Otay! Mama!" The small toddler screamed out making Ava sigh again.

       "Yes Mal," Ava asked the toddler. "Why you cwy ad da pwace?" The small girl asked Ava, making her sigh. "Mal it's complicated okay. Just listen to your song or I'm changing it because I'm really not in the mood for a song like this right now," Ava told the toddler who just nodded as she went back to singing Baby Shark.

       Ava just started crying more as she pulled over into a random parking lot. "Okay I can't do this!" Ava screamed out as she grabbed her phone and started dialing Alison's number. Alison picked up right away to Ava's relief.

       "Hello?" Alison asked over the phone making Ava keep crying. "Alison I need help please!" Ava cried out over the phone as she couldn't do this by herself. Alison immediately became concerned as she heard Ava crying.

       "What's wrong?" Alison asked Ava in concern making her freak out. "I can't do this!" Ava screamed out in distress. "Okay Ava calm down explain to me what's going on?" Alison asked her friend as she began to worry that Ava was going to do something.

       Ava just took a deep breath as she answered. "Mal's test results came in and she... she... she... she has Leukemia! I can't do this! Alison I need help!  Please you're a mom help me!" Ava cried out as she couldn't handle this and needed help.

       Alison just held back her own tears as she took in Ava's words. "Oh my gosh! Ava I'm so sorry about Mal! It's okay where are you?" Alison asked Ava as she was worried by the way Ava was talking.

       "In a random parking lot. They want me to go to this Children's Cancer Center to talk about treatment options, but I can't do this! It's too much! I can't do this!" Ava screamed out making Alison nod.

       "Okay Ava stay there I'll be right there," Alison told Ava as she quickly went to her car car and got in her car to help Ava. "Okay thank you so much Alison! Please hurry! I need someone here right now!" Ava told Alison who just nodded.

        "Don't worry I'll be there really soon! I'm on my way now," Alison told Ava who just calmed down a little bit. "Okay thank you!" Ava told Alison as she hung up and looked at the toddler who was confused.

        "Wa go on?" Mal asked Ava who just sighed. "Nothing Mal everything is fine. Alison is just going to come for a little visit," Ava told the small girl who just smiled. "Yay! I wob hew!" The two year old screamed out excitedly.

          Ava just nodded as broke down crying again. "Mama! You cwy aben! No cwy!" The toddler innocently told Ava making her look at the innocent little girl as she started bawling.
