Mum has Cancer

Tracy had cancelled all her appointments after Mrs Brown filled her in on what was happening, she knew Dave's depression had something to do with Amanda, but she never thought it was so serious, with the realization she was very sure they would not get back together, and with her ex in the picture, she didn't have anything to worry about, everything had worked well just the way she had wanted it.

She couldn't be happier, this time she didn't do much yet everything had worked well for her, she had been trying so hard for months to put an end to Dave and Amanda, but nothing seemed to work against them, and now Amanda had caused her own problems by herself.

Tracy had changed since she started working towards getting Dave back, she couldn't continue on the exact part that broke them up in the first place, she had left  her crazy boyfriend's, since none of them had been interested to walk her down the aisle, her family was already getting worried, and she couldn't think of another person other than Dave. He was the one man that had treated her with love, he had loved her, and wanted to take their relationship to another level, but her waywardness hadn't allowed her, and he had found solace in the innocent Amanda.

Dave could still hear their noise, but gradually, it began to fade away, and soon, he was arrested by sleep.

When he woke up the next day, he was feeling a lot better.

The next day, he could seat up, he was feeling better, and couldn't wait to go home, he wished he could go home, he wanted to see Amanda, and to know if she was ready to tell him the truth, he looked around him, and saw that his family members had left leaving Sonia and Tracy with him.

Sonia came with new clothes for him, Tracy was still wearing the same clothes, and she looked like she hadn't slept at all.

"Why are you still here? He asked, but seeing the hurt on her face, he tries to change the way he had asked the question.

That question didn't come out well, but he was only worried for her, he wasn't expecting to still have her in his hospital room when his own mother and father had left.

"I am sorry I didn't mean it that way" he quickly corrected, but Tracy only smiled knowingly.

"I know what you mean, you don't have to explain, I wanted your parents to go take a rest, when they return I will go, and come back later in the evening".

He wanted to tell her not to bother, but he didn't want her to feel bad,  he was really surprised she agreed to staying with him at the hospital, with the same clothes, she had on yesterday, that was so unlike her, she would never even wear the same clothes after a month let alone to go out, and allow people see her on the clothes she wore the previous day.

"You can go now, and come back later, Sonia is here, she would take care of me, also I am already getting better you do not need to worry" He tried sounding polite, Tracy could only smile at him.

She didn't want to argue with him, she knew he meant well, and she understood him perfectly, so she nodded and grabbed her bags giving Sonia sign to follow her which she did. When they got outside, Tracy whispered something to her to which she nodded in agreement, and she walked towards the exit, but stopped immediately as she noticed Amanda walking into the hospital with a food flasx,she quickly made her way back to the ward where Dave was pretending to have left something behind, Amanda also saw her rush in, but pretended she didn't as she opened the door to  the private room he was in, every other person in the room understood why Tracy had rushed back in, she wanted to see the drama that would be displayed.

Dave was surprised to see her, but he was somehow pleased to see that she looked better than she was yesterday.

"I brought you something, it would help you heal faster" she told him, and placed the flask, on the nightstand, close to the bed.

Dave could only stare at her in disbelief, she was bold and fearless, she was probably prepared to face anything and anyone, Dave would have admired such an entrance, but he still needed his answers, but also didn't want to embarrass her infront of Tracy, plus he was really hungry, he quickly collected the flask opened it, and started eating. He could sense the eye of Tracy and Sonia on him, but he really didn't care at that moment, she couldn't have poisoned him, could she? After all he had almost died because of her, so her poison would only help him die faster.

"Thank you"  he finally said after almost choking on  the food because of the pace at which he was eating, and that was when Tracy and Sonia realized that they had failed in that aspect, they had only kept him company all through the night, and never for once thought about bringing him food. Tracy wanted to yell at Dave for eating her food, but she decided against it, she must play calm and be sure everything would work for her in the end.

Amanda grabbed the chair Tracy had sat on before, and sat close to Dave.

"how are you feeling today? She asked him, holding his hand and entwining it with hers.

"I feel better". He said, and Tracy grew red with jealousy, she swallowed hard, and kept pacing round the small room, but funny enough, Amanda did not seem to notice her.

Dave wanted to hold her too, and tell her she looks beautiful, but then he noticed a tear drop on her dress.

"Are you okay? He asked, and she breathed hard before saying.
