Kate finally reached Marks home. Mark had his car front of his house and Kate saw from the window that in the kitchen lights are on. Kate was relieved, Mark was home. Kate ran to his door and rang doorbell many times. No one opened. She knocked many times. No one opened. She felt like her world just crashed down. She didn’t know what to do. Mark would have known what to do and what to say. Kate sat down on ground. She was crying. She just kept thinking about cancer and that she had no one to talk to. Suddenly door opened. Kate turned around and saw Mark on the door.


Mark looked at Kate. Kate was all wet, her mascara was on her cheeks, and her eyes were red from crying. Kate stood up and hugged Mark. She cried same time and hugged him even tighter. He asked ”Kate, what’s wrong?” Kate didn’t get any words out, she just kept crying hysterically and couldn’t stop. Mark asked her to come in. He told to Kate to sit on the chair and he went to get her glass of water.  He came back with the glass of water and said ”Drink this and take a deep breath, Kate”. Kate tried to drink the water but her hands were shaking so much that she just couldn’t drink. ”Kate, just tell me what happened” Mark asked. He was really worried, he wasn’t never seen her so upset. Kate had always been strongest person who he knew. He had seen Kate crying just in her granddads’ funeral so he knew that something serious had happened. After many deep breaths, Kate finally calmed down. Her voice was really weak and she just looked Mark in eyes and said ” I have an incurable cancer”.  Mark looked Kate and he didn’t get any words out. He sat down on the floor and he was as shocked as Kate was. “How, When Kate” he mumbled. “Doctor told me today, I just couldn’t take it and ran straight here”.  Kate told him and continued “Mark you have to tell me that this isn’t true, Mark please” Kate started crying again. Mark came near her, hugged her  and said “Kate don’t worry, this has to be misunderstanding. Don’t worry we will sort this out”.
