(info: erin, coreys gf, had like this rash on her back a couple of weeks ago and it turned black. When they got it checked out the doctors said it was cancerous. Shes 15.)

Last nite my brother was acting really depressed. Cherry & I went to Starbucks, and he called me on my cell saying that he was sad cuz he tries to be so good to his gf (or theyre on break so i guess shes his "best friend that he likes a lot) and he feels like she just walks all over him. He said she always goes out with people (guys) and wont tell him who, & she text'd coreys friend Brandon saying that she liked him & shit. We came home to find Erin (the gf) & her mom at my house. (my dad was out)

She pulled me aside and said "Coreys in the car. He's a mess- hes so upset. He was talking about killing himself." Erin was at the movies with Brandon, and corey text'd her saying that he had no more reason to live & he just wanted to put a gun to his head (which he has.)

Erin cried and told her mom they had to go. They came to pick corey up so he wouldnt be alone. When I got here, I told corey to come inside & tell me everything. He was so choked up he couldnt talk- Ive never seen him like that- or even cry before I dont think. He wouldnt answer my questions & just said that "everything" was wrong. Then he finally said that he was sick of seeing my mom try & screw my dad out of money & talk shit about him, and I mean divorce is hard on kids, but not THAT hard.
Then he said he & erin were having problems, but it didnt seem like that would make him that upset. He was shaking and covering his face trying not to cry loudly. Then erin & her mom came inside and we talked abuot why he was upset, & we just decided that he and erin were having troubles & that he should just go over to their house for a while & be with her. (this is 10pm at nite- erins mom never lets him be over past like 8...)

As they were walking out, corey said "I need to talk to my sister alone" and took me aside. I was like WHAT IS WRONG trying to pry it out of him, cuz he was really in bad shape.
Then, as if to spite me for pestering him, he blurted "ERIN HAS THREE FUCKING MONTHS TO LIVE" and he broke down. He hugged me (which hes NEVER done before) & cried so so hard. He was like "what am i supposed to DO? My best friend & the girl I love is DYING!"

I didnt know what to say. I was asking questions like "is she still going to school?"
"No" he said.
"When did they find out?"
"Yesterday. They dont want anyone to know."
"Oh my god. How is she handling it?" I asked.
"Pretty good. Thats the sad thing. Im the one thats all a wreck & making them sad."

It broke my heart.

He left to go to her house, and I came in and cried and cried. She is the sweetest most beautiful girl and I couldnt imagine corey & I going to her funeral. Corey has never had anyone close to him, or anyone he even knew for that matter die before & god knows what he would do.

I called my mom & told her. She said "Call your dad. Its not my day."
It made me mad because this was part of the reason corey was upset- the divorce and how my mom was acting because of it.
I told her she was a bitch & hung up in her face.

So I called my dad who was out w/friends. He didnt believe it at first. He wanted Erin's mom's phone number to see what was going on.

(my dad)"Hi, this is Corey's dad. I heard about your daughter- whats going on? Corey said Erin told him she had 3 months to live."
"WHAT?! ERIN COME HERE! Did you tell corey you had 3 months to live?"
(erin) "no..."
(her mom) "Im taking corey home. Im going to have a chat with my daughter."

She got off the phone and yelled at Erin. It turns out she is very sick, but wasnt given a terminal deadline or anything. I guess she has been getting in fights with her mom and getting pushed around so she wanted attention from other people & to have them feel sorry for her.

Her mom took her phone away & just about everything else. I guess she deserves it for hurting corey like that & making him think he was going to lose her. It was so fucked up. I slapped her in the head today & told her it was really messed up. Now shes gona go to counciling & work out her family issues, & corey has to go because of the whole suicide thing, and he needs to learn how to handle things differently. He called brandon today & yelled at him for going to the movies w/erin. He was like "were you even going to tell me? what kind of a fucking friend are you!?" & made him feel all bad. Brandon has always been an asshole in my book, & this doesnt help him any.

It was really wierd and hard to see my brother like that. Last night sucked. I was so sad, then confused, then mad.

David came over & comforted me, cheered up corey & brought us coffee & movies. My hero.
