Gloria's Battle (On Hold)

"L-Leukemia?" London stuttered.
I nod my head, tears threatening to spill from my eyes.
London walked over to me and embraced me into a hug.
"Don't worry Gloria, you'll get through this, and I'll be here to help you whenever you need it, I promise." London whispered.

I was at the park with Jason, wishing my older brother would come home from war.
Jonathon has been fighting for his country since two days before my thirteenth birthday. I don't know why he couldn't come home, but I wish he would.

My eyes immediately filled with tears. "Jonathon!" I cried throwing my arms around my older brother and began to sob.
"Sh, it's ok little sis, it's ok," Jonathon whispers.
"I missed you so much," I whisper.
"I missed you to Gloria, oh god how I missed you." Jonathon whispers back.

"I'm sorry I wasn't here when you found out you have Leukemia Gloria. I wanted to go home as soon as I heard, but I wasn't aloud to leave," Jonathon tells me.

Jonathon nods his head, "Ok,"
