Barry is a heathy, cocky, cheeky eighteen year old kid. Healthy and fit, just a normal teenager but when he suddenly collapses in school and is diagnosed with a terminal brain tumor his whole life changes.
To make his day worse, his year had to give a presentation in three days time in an assembly in front of the time and he had been nominated to be spokesperson along with Imogen Stewart. He knew people had voted just to piss him off.
Barry followed Imogen to the stage although he felt very lightheaded. Imogen did her part of the speech and then passed the mic to Barry.
"Thanks..."' Barry slurred as he reached out to grab the mic he then pulled his speech from his pocket but he couldn't read a word as the words started dancing around the page. Barry felt as if he was floating, as if the world was spinning. "First.....Firstly...." He spoke but he felt sick as the room started moving.
The next thing came as a shock as Barry collapsed on the stage, his vision going blank and his body limp.
An ambulance arrived within 10 minutes and prepped Barry for hospital. He started fitting in their arrival though. This was a terrifying ordeal for his sisters.
Carol was in a state when she got the call she felt a tad guilty as on a couple of occasions Barry said he had a headache but she thought he was lying to skip school
