Acadia was taking a few hours to herself off of Peck Mansion campus. earbuds in her ears, music blaring Mindless Self Indulgence, She looked at the lake, then her sketch book, then the lake again. Seeing a pair of swans with their babies at the water's edge she started to sketch the swans and their babies, capturing the way the adult swans interact with their young. Giving a soft smile she put her sketch book down. She always love animals. She was waiting for the doctor to call with the results of her blood test, and bone marrow sample she had to give. She hasn't been felling 100% the past week. She was worried. It was possible that her Leukemia could be coming back. Highly unlikely, put it was possible. She prayed it wasn't the situation. But if it was. It was. She'd probably have to get another bone marrow transplant if it was back.
Acadia jumped when she heard her cell phone go off. Looking at the screen, her stomach dropped. Taking the earbuds out of her ears, she was afraid of what the doctor said. She was render likely infertile with all the chemo she's received. It was heart breaking to hear that it would be highly unlikely she would EVER be able to have a child. When especially since since she was younger, she knew she wanted a large family when she was older. Now it was highly unlikely it would ever happen. Her hands shaking, she clicked the send button. ''Hello?'' ''Hello Acadia. It's Dr. Toyniea I have the results of your blood tests. The good news or bad news first dear?'' The doctor said. "Just tell me" Acadia said her voice breaking slightly "Ok then. The good news. It's not back. The bad news, you white blood count is starting to slightly elevate. You will need to come in to the doctors office so we can do some testing. and figure out the right medication to put you on okay honey? Before it comes back." She asked Acadia. ''Uh... Alright I'll have to talk to someone up at my school about getting about a week off or so. I can get my homework ahead of time so I don't get behind'' Acadia said softly a few tears streaming down her face. She looked around, noticing it was getting cloudy, a light drizzle started to ascend from the clouds. ''Ok. We'll be in touch then. Alright Dear? Bye now.'' The doctor hung up. With a sigh 'yea. bye now...' Leaning her head against the tree, she was worried that her elevated white blood count could would raise even higher, and it would come back. Closing her eyes, more tears fell. She failed to see the shadow of a person standing there.

The lake was not a place Sammy usually went. But. an unlucky incident at the fountain made him find a new place to practice his dance. Unlucky incident being that he was dancing in the water and someone called the cops on him. He didn't get arrested, but now he had to explain to his mom why he now needed fifty dollars to pay a ticket. His only other alternative was to go to the lake and use his levitation to practice the dance. He wasn't very familiar with the area, though. He had ridden his bike out there.
As luck would have it, it was starting to rain. While a very cool effect while dancing, it was still a hindrance since he was trying to learn something new. He heard a voice in the distance and decided to see who it was before he started levitating about. He didn't need any more trouble. The town was supposed to not know about any of the Peck Mansion secrets. it was one of the things they were told when they first show up. Don't flaunt your powers around town. He walked around, trying to find the souce of the voice. When he did, he started walking toward her slowly, seeing she was on the phone. As he got closer, he realized he saw her in the school before, so his levitating wouldn't be a problem.
Unfortunately, the rain was also starting to fall a little heavier. Also, he noticed the tears streaming down her face as she got off the phone. That was one of Sammy's weaknesses. Someone crying. It just got to him. He was a helpful soul. A joker. He stopped, looking longingly at the lake and sighed as he decided to go talk to her. "Hey! Are you okay?" Sammy asked, dropping to a crouch and making himself eye-level with her. "I mean, you don't gotta talk about it if you want, but I'm pretty sure it'll help. I'm a bit of a self-proclaimed happy-maker....uh...person." He smiled, baring a full set of white teeth and sat on his knees, waiting for her to talk.

Acadia's heard a voice come from beside her. Her head snapped to the side, holding a hand to her chest, eyes widened, her heart going a mile a minute. Seated at her side is a boy from Peck Mansion, with a grin on his face. She looked up and the rain abruptly stopped. "Erm.. Sorry... you startled me.''Giving the boy a slight smile. She had seen him many times around campus. ''Truth be told... I've been better... I've been getting sick. Fatigue, weakness, night sweats, bruising. I've been fearing this since I went into Remission nearly eight years ago.'' Acadia looked over at the swans again, smiling softly again. The sun peaking out from behind the clouds ''It's highly unlikely to come back after 5 years the bloody ignorant doctors say.'' she said rolling her eyes with a slight scowl on her face. There was a rumble of thunder. "Sorry... When I get all emotional.... It sometimes sucks being able to control the weather.'' Acadia said sighing again
"I have... to go back into the hospital.... again... I've been fighting Leukemia for........'' Tilting her head to the side, trying to figure out how long it's been. "Been almost 11 years. I just puts such a strain on my family. I was 11 when I was told it would be highly unlikely I'd ever be able to have a child. It was so heartbreaking to hear those words come out of the doctors mouth. Why am I telling someone I don't know very well at all... ah.. I think maybe.... your the first guy I haven't been wary of since I've come to Peck Mansion. Most of the guys at Peck Mansion, would be the type like my ex... Well... Maybe not.. I don't think they'd hit their girls... cheat yes.. hurt psychically.... You don't seem to be the type. Anywho.. I guess I do have to get it off my chest. I have to go in for testing, to figure out what medications to put me on. The raised white blood count is a sign it's starting to come back. The doctors want to get me into the hospital ASAP so they can get it under control i guess... Sometimes I wish it was just all over..." She said softly Word Count: 401 Tagged: Sammy

Sammy's eyes widened in a bit of a surprise. Not only from the girl's content of word,s but the fact that she opened up so quickly Usually that either meant a drama queen, or someone who had held back their feelings for far too long. He wasn't normally at a loss for words. But what she had said was a little shaking, even for Sammy, who was an all around therapist at times. But, he would by no means just walk away, leaving her feeling worse. In fact, talking to her now could be the beginning of a beautiful friendship. And that was something he was sure to not turn down. The rain had stopped, though, and that made things a whole lot easier. The ground was still a little damp. but, being under a tree had it's advantages. Sammy shifted his weight and sat cross-legged on the ground in front of the girl.
"Oh hey. No, don't say that. It's bad, but don't wish for it all to be over, ya know? I mean. I don't understand at all, and I'm not going to say I do, because I'm sure you get that all the time from doctors and stuff." He sighed and looked up sheepishly, knowing he probably sounded like a puts. He sighed and ran a hand through his damp hair. It was starting to frizz because it was already long and curly. "And hey. I guess you're right about me. Except I don't get girl, ever." He laughed slightly at that, trying to lighten the mood. Though, he didn't want to sound like he didn't care. "Have you maybe tried talking to some of the healers at Peck? I mean, I know they exist there. I don't know if they could heal you, but I'm sure they could probably help keep it in check, right?"
Sammy chanced moving a little closer, moving to sit in the same direction as the dark-haired girl he was talking to. "If I were in your shoes....I think I would try and live as much as possible. Of course, I try to do that already. Easier said than done. But the question I need you to answer is....do you want to talk about it? Or do you want to get your mind off of it? I know I said I'm a happy-maker, but I'll at least admit that my handbook doesn't cover this. But, I'll lend a listening ear if you need it." He smiled over at her and bumped her with his shoulder lightly, playfully. "My name's Sammy. I levitate. Nothing cool like controlling the weather, Storm" He chuckled a bit, referencing the X-men comics he used to read as a kid.

Acadia laughed when she called Sammy called her Storm. "My name is Acadia. I control the whether, and have Telekinesis." She said smiling a real smile, the first real smile in a long while, bumping his shoulder back. "I usually don't open up as quickly as I did now. I'm the type that tends to keep to herself. Keep emotions bottled up until they explode." She said softly. "The disease, I meant. I wish the disease would just go away, that it would just end. If this treatment of Chemo doesn't work when I go to the hospital... I’m going to give in and go to the Peck healers. Just to see if they can help me... It might be unlikely, that they can... but who knows.... My Doctor might be shocked if I were suddenly cancer free though. She's known me for around 5 years. She doesn't know I have any ability... though I think she suspects something... as whenever I go in to see her, it suddenly starts raining, or snowing.. or something. And yes, I guess I do want to talk.''
She heard him say she was right about him, except he didn't get girls ever. "Glad I'm not the only one who's not straight as an arrow at Peck. I'm a curved arrow. I suppose one could say. Bi... as simple as that. Though, now I'm more for gals rather than guys...'' She said with a slight blush appearing on her pale cheeks. ''And I do fight. Live to the fullest every day. It's just, every so slowly, I'm getting weaker and weaker, and it’s getting harder and harder. I just hope that when I DO go back into the hospital they have caught it in time, and I don't get out of remission. But if that's the case... I'll be out of school for months while I get chemo and a possible another Bone Marrow transplant. I just hated having to put my sister through it the first time... '' Acadia said softly.
“I hope my hair doesn’t fall out… again. An side effect to various meds, besides being sick, you hair starts to fall out in huge clumps…’’ She said frowning, touching her hair. It was long , and fell to about the middle of her back.

Sammy could almost beam. He had gotten her to open up and talk to him. And that was always his main goal. However, when she made a reference to being gay, he perked up. Now he was at a crossroads. She thought he was gay. if he came right out and stated he wasn't, would it look as though he were trying to get close to her in a romantic way? He didn't want to come off as the guy who listens to get something from a girl. That wasn't him at all. In fact, he was pretty much dedicated to Amelia, but Amelia was oblivious or thought he was joking all the time. It probably didn't help that he always laughs after hitting on someone to lighten the mood. Instead of saying anything at the moment, though, he listened until she was finished talked and ran a hand through his hair, hoping it didn't cause him rejection of any kind.
"It would be a real waste if your hair fell out. Looks like you've been growing it for a long time. Of course, I could cut my hair today and have this mean fro again tomorrow." He laughed and shook his head, forcing himself to go one talking, even though he was usually the listening type. "But about what you said...about not being straight as an arrow. I'm straight. I mean, it's cool that you're not. It's actually kinda hot. I just don't get girls cause I'm lame." He laughed again and shrugged, "Most girls want bad guys. what can I say, I just dance. I don't do all the things bad guys do. Like drugs...or skating. I just got my feet and some music. I don't really do anything cool." He shrugged and leaned back against the tree. His hat was pushed down slightly over his eyes by the friction.

"see.... I'm sorry. I almost always come to the wrong conclusions...'' she said laughing, covering her face briefly with her hands "This is awkward.. This is why I'm not good at making friends. She sighed softly, cheeks red. She sighed again. Her phone went off. Checking it. it was her mom sending her a text, asking the results she typed quickly on the phone "I have to go into the hospital again. When can you guys get here?''- Ace She looked swans again, they were migrating to the other side of the lake. ''Eh.. Sorry.. I didn't know my mom now texted... I guess she can now understand her cell... It's only taken 2 years'' Again the cell beeped "We'll be there the day after tomorrow- mom''
"Guess I'm heading to the hospital the day after tomorrow. I guess... If my hair falls out, it does... It grows like a bloody weed though. I wonder when I'm in the hospital, if friends will come visit... It seems I've already possibly screwed up this friendship. She looking at her hands, she hated the fact that they were trembling, almost violently. Sighing again she brought a trembling hand up to her throat, gently rubbing the scar on her neck. She remembered seeing the tube sticking out of her neck.
''About 2 years after I moved here, I found a boyfriend. My first ever boyfriend. It started out like any relationship would. Dates, small kisses, flowers. But then it got to the point, that if he heard I even TALKED to another boy, he'd yell at me.. Then he started hitting me. It turns out besides being overly protective of his 'property', yes. that's what I was to him.. property.... he had a nasty temper. His past girlfriend told me to leave him. Not because she wanted him back, but because it's that he beat her into a coma. When I broke up with him, He didn't beat me into a coma, just unconscious. I had a concussion, broken wrist, and various defensive wounds. He didn't get out of the battle unscathed. When I woke up from being unconscious my roommate was a gorgeous girl. I found myself thinking 'oh she's pretty' That's when I figured I was bisexual. I told my parents their fine with it. I just hope that one day I can find a male that doesn't hurt me for talking to other men'' Acadia said softly, looking at Sammy out of the corner of her eye. She changed the subject
''I did a bit of dancing before i was diagnosed with leukemia. I stopped it though. But I've seen you dance. You put so much heart into every dance step you dance. It's amazing to watch. Really amazing. She said looking at him again with a faint smile.
