What is Love?

Aubree's Point of View

Masons mother and I both burst out crying. Tears ran down my face. I wanted to say something, anything, but I could only be silent. His dad held his face in his hands, and Max let a few tears fall. I think Kendal was to young to completely get what was going on. She came over to me and sat on my lap. 'Why's everybody crying.." She questioned me. I didn't answer her. I couldn't tell her that her brother could die.

"Guys please don't cry.. I'm probably going to be fine. The doctors think that they caught it early enough, I'm going to be having surgery sometime next week.." Mason told us. "But what if you're not, Mason? What if it's too late? You can't leave.. I won't have anyone left, I won't have anywhere to go..." I whispered, just loud enough for him to hear. "Don't think like that Bree. I'm not going anywhere." Mason assured me, pulling me into his arms.

After that news, no one really wanted to talk. We tried to explain to Kendal that Mason was sick, but he was going to be okay. Mr. and Mrs. Foxx went to sleep, along with Kendal. Mason was getting ready to sleep right now. "I'm going to be okay I promise.." Mason told me. I nodded my head. "I love you." I told him. "I love you too." He then kissed me and went to his room to sleep.

Sighing, I pulled on a sweatshirt and old black converse sneakers and tip-toed downstairs. I needed to go somewhere. I needed to think and assure myself that everything would be okay. I opened up the door and was about to leave, when Max came up behind me.

"Where are you going...?" He asked. "Out. For a run.. I really don't know." I told him. "You're not leaving, are you?" Max mumbled. "No.. I'll be back soon." I said. "Okay.. please come back.. I can't lose you too.." He said slowly. Tears started pouring down his face. He ran into me, and I pulled him into a hug. "Max, I'll be back I promise. And.. Mason's going to be fine." "Okay.. Bye" Max answered, letting me go.

I ran into the street. It was pretty dark out, I wasn't even sure what time it was. It had to be around 10. I ran with tears streaming down my face, not looking where I was going. What if he wasn't okay? I kept asking myself that question. When I looked up for the first time, I realized maybe I did know where I was going. Maybe I needed someone. To just talk to, someone to be there for me. And maybe I had led myself right where I needed to be.

I was at Aiden's house.
