Alexa stop on her tracks on hearing Jason's voice.
"Wait please"
She turns to look at him
"I know i have been hiding things from you but am sorry. An sorry okay. I wanted to tell you but your mom insisted on not telling because you were in prison. That was a hard decision to make. Am deeply sorry. Please find a place in your heart to forgive me"
Alexa stares at him with tears running down her eyes.
I just don't know who to believe anymore. I called you bestfriend but i didn't expect it from you"
"Am sorry"
She sniffs "what stage is it"
Jason became quiet
"Answer me!"
"Stage 3, she is in stage 3. She didnt tell me i eas told by the doctor"
Alexa squats holding her head
"No no no!. Why!"
Jason bend down and hugged her.
"Am sorry. Am sorry, am sorry" he pats her back gently.
