The second I heard the knock on the door, I got nervous. My hands were shaking and my heart was racing. My parents walked in first, a worried look on their face. They sat down on the bed when Daniel came around the corner, literally running. "Baby what's wrong?" he said while sitting next to me and pulling me into his chest. Daniel's family followed with a questioning look on their face, I think they were debating wether they could stay or not. "I'd actually like for you to be here as well, if you want obviously." they nodded and sat down on the bed as well. I was glad that Max asked Blair to be here as well. "Girl I knew something is going on tell us what's wrong." she said worrying.
I looked around and then reassured while looking to Max. He nodded and slightly smiled, but he saw how much I struggle so he came to me and held my hand. "It's hard for Amilia to talk about it, she doesn't want to hurt you. She trusted me with her issue and I promised her to help her through it. That means I also help her talk to you. She told me in summer break, when she was at the doctors back in the netherlands. She told you that everything is fine. I promised to keep it a secret but told her that she has to say it. She didn't want to ruin your season Daniel that's why she waited until now." Max said and I was relieved when he started this.

"I was at the doctors back in the Netherlands and at first he thought it's nothing serious. He called me back and told me it is in fact serious. He suggested a therapy immediately but I told him I can't manage that since we are traveling a lot. He transferred me to a doctor in Monaco so I can start my therapy when the season is over. Max helped me all the time, I had very bad days when he wanted to tell Daniel but it would've only been a distraction. We called a doctor for IV's then and it was better after that. But you all recognized that I'm exhausted quickly and that I lost a lot of weight. And i had nose bleeds more often. I tried to ignore it because I was scared it's gotten worse. Maybe that's why I tried to push away the day I tell you." I said and the worried looks on their faces increased. Daniel had a tight hold of my hand. "Ok tell them what it is." Max said silently. "I...I have a lung carcinoma. It's a kind that I can fight against with a therapy and the chances are high that I'll be healed because it's still small." I said and it was silent. I looked around and no one said something.

It took a while before someone said something. "You could've told us earlier, we'll be there for you all the time. We'll fight with you." my parents said. I looked to them and they had tears in their eyes but a smile on their lips. I smiled back at them and hope they can cope with it.
"I know we don't know each other for long but it's such a big thing that you told us. You grew into our family immediately and we'll be there for you, all the time." Daniel's mum said and hugged me. I hugged her back and we both smiled at each other. "I know you'll fight like a lion but if you ever try to give up I'll kick your ass. I need you, we grew so close to each other." Blair said and tried to push back her tears. I pulled her into a hug and left a few tears.
Max wiped away my tears and calmed me down. I'm glad he's here with me and that he helped me to tell them. The only one who hasn't said anything was Daniel. He sat there and stared at the ground. Max initiated for the others to give us some space. "We'll see you tomorrow, if you need anything call us." they said before leaving. I thanked them and closed the door. I walked back to the room and Daniel looked at me.

He stretched his arms out and pulled me onto his lap. He hugged me tightly, and I wrapped my arms around his neck. "I'm so sorry Daniel." I quietly said. "Don't be sorry it's not your fault. But how were you able to do this? You were acting so selfless just for me to finish my season. I'm kinda proud of you even though in these circumstances this is a bad phrase but....I can't believe how strong you are. You tried not to hurt anyone even though you're the one that's hurt." he said and that calmed me down. "I wanted the best for you." I replied and looked at him. He smiled at me and replied "And now we can fight together. I'll never leave your side, I'll be there for you. Max and I promised this to you. We'll get through this." he said and placed a kiss on my cheek.

After calming down Daniel and I laid down in bed. He cuddled close to me, making sure everything is comfortable. I tried to fall asleep but I was still feeling bad. "Daniel?" I ask because I wasn't sure if he's still awake. "Yes Princess." he replied and looked at me. "I left the party because I was not feeling well and I thought it'll be better but it's still not good, I think we should go to the hospital." I said as calm as possible and he nodded. He grabbed his phone, called Max and turned on the lights. He helped me get dressed, he pulled one of his hoodies over my body and helped me tie my shoes. Max arrived and they supported me on our way to the car.
