I walk into the Curtis and the whole gang greets me but, I'm not in the mood to greet people. I look at there happy faces, I can't tell them I have cancer, but I'm leaving so what am I supposed to do. I know, lie. I loudly say, "I have an announcement to make." The whole gang gives me there full attention as I announce, "I have to go away for a little bit for my uh job but, I'll be back I promise." As I say 'I'll be back I promise' tears well up in my eyes. Will I be back?

"When you leaving Basil?" Steve asks.

"Tomorrow afternoon. I have a performance today then tomorrow I'm going but, I'll be back," I say unsure.

"Well, Darry cooked you food you look weak," Soda says. I do as he says not wanting to eat because, I well have stomach cancer. As I finish eating I get really nauseous and run to the bathroom to throw up. Everything I just ate appears in front of me in a toilet. I flush it and lean against the wall with my knees brought to my chest, my hands cupping my hands and I sob. After a few minutes I hear a soft voice asking, "Basil are you okay?"

I look up to see Johnnycakes and I sob into his chest, "no, Johnnycakes, I have stomach cancer. I have to go to Jersey to get treated and the doctor tells me I'll be fine but, what if I'm not. Oh Johnnycakes, I'm on stage IA. I must have gotten it after I 'left'. What am I supposed to do?"

"Basil, I don't know what to say minus, you'll be okay just come out and talk to the gang," he says.

"Just don't tell anybody please," I beg.

"Okay, I won't," he swears. I go upstairs and get ready for my performance. I put make-up on to cover my pale face, and dark circles under eyes. I then brush my hair pulling chunks of it out of my head, crying a little every time, I wear, my light jeans, with a red tank top, brown jacket, regular jewelry, and black converse. We all go together but, I can tell Dal's upset that I'm leaving. I feel so bad about it but, I have to.

We pull into the restaurant and I immediately jump on stage. "Hey ya'll so this is my last performance here for a while. So I want to sing something special. I want to dedicate this one to my twin we're friends again, my kid brother, my best friends, my boyfriend, my best girl friend and my older brother. So in other words to my gang plus Sylvia. I love ya'll so much. (I'll look after you -The Fray)

If I don't say this now I will surely break

As I'm leaving the one I want to take

Forget the urgency but hurry up and wait

My heart has started to separate

Oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh

Be my baby

Oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh

Be my baby

I'll look after you

There now, steady love, so few come and don't go

Will you, won't you be the one I'll always know?

When I'm losing my control, the city spins around

You're the only one who knows, you slow it down

Oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh

Be my baby

Oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh

Be my baby

I'll look after you

And I'll look after you

If ever there was a doubt

My love she leans into me

This most assuredly counts

She says most assuredly

Oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh

Be my baby

I'll look after you

(After you)

Oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh

Be my baby

Oh, oh, oh

It's always have and never hold

You've begun to feel like home

What's mine is yours to leave or take

What's mine is yours to make your own

Oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh

Be my baby

Oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh

Be my baby

Oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh

Be my baby

Oh, oh, oh

Well I guess this is it for now. Goodbye." I walk off stage and sit down next to gang plus Sylvia. They're all eating, I'm so hungry but, I don't want to eat. I sit there with my head down thinking this could be my last dinner with the gang. Out of nowhere I feel hot tears rolling down my eyes. "What's wrong?" Sylvia asks.

"I'm just going to miss ya'll so much. I love you guys," I sob hugging Dal. After that I pack my stuff soon falling asleep in my bed tired of the day I've had. This could be my last night in this bed.
