<MIKE'S P.O.V>
For the past few days, my chest had felt like it's burning, flames licking at my lungs.
I don't know why. But it hurts like hell.
I just sat there in bed, Lucy sitting next to me, reading a book.
"Whatcha reading?" I asked her.
"I'm not reading anything. I'm looking at pictures."
I looked over her shoulder at the book.
It was a family album.
"See? There's my sister." she said, pointing to a small girl.
She was in a wheelchair.
Dammit.
"Oh, she's beautiful!" I told Lucy.
She chuckled.
"Yeah, but she didn't think so."
I just smiled and pulled Lucy into my lap.
"Its okay..." I said.
Suddenly, I felt a piercing pain in my chest.
I screamed in pain, the flames devouring my lungs.
"DAMMIT!" I screamed.
Lucy screamed and jumped out of my lap, running down the hall.
"JEREMY!!!" she screamed.
I grabbed my chest, wincing in pain.
It can't be...
The cancer...
<JEREMY'S P.O.V>
As I was lying on my bed, watching "Sailor Moon", Lucy burst into my room.
"JEREMY!" she screamed, tears streaming down her face.
"W-What's wrong?" I asked her, turning off the TV.
"DADDY!"
Mike...
I heard him screaming.
I quickly stood up and ran to his room.
There he sat, his hand clenched against his chest.
"M-MIKE!!!" I screamed.
I scrambled over to him.
Tears streamed down his face.
I reached into the pocket of my hoodie, my hands trembling.
I pulled out my phone and called an ambulance.
<LUCY'S P.O.V>
I'm... scared.
Daddy is screaming.
Is he dying? What is happening?
<MIKE'S P.O.V>
This pain is killing me!
Those ambulances better hurry their asses up!
<NO P.O.V>
Suddenly, the bedroom door burst open.
And in walked the paramedics.
Jeremy sighed a sigh of relief.
As they put Mike on a stretcher, Lucy piped up.
"Hey! What are you taking Daddy?" she asked.
"To the hospital." they replied.
Jeremy looked over to Lucy, who was now crying.
<JEREMY'S P.O.V>
Poor Lucy.
"L-Lucy..." I said.
"H-He's n-not gonna d-die."
"P-Promise?" she asked, holding out her pinkie.
"I-I promise." I said, interlocking my pinkie with hers.
