~Hope's P.O.V.~
I wake up and I still feel like crying. I realize that Isabel isn't here. I already cleaned the house so I have nothing to do. I keep thinking about Carlos. I need to get my mind off of him. I take a walk end up right next to the hospital. It's not the first Saturday of the month but I am still allowed to see Jake. I walk inside.
The fat lady is at the front desk and I tell her my name.She gives me a sticker and tells me to follow her.
" Jake is going to be getting surgery in 2 weeks." she says. " If the surgery works you may take him home and If it doesn't....."
" What?" I say in a worried voice.
" There could a possible death." she says.
" Since you are 18, you are allowed to choose if he gets the surgery or not.There is one more thing I need to tell you. If he doesn't do the surgery the cancer will spread fast and eventually he will die. I hope you choose the right decision." she says.
There are tears in my eyes. I don't know what to choose, either way he will possibly die but I need to make the right decision. We are at the room where Jake is. He looks old for a 13-year-old. The nurse leaves us alone so we can talk.
" Hi Hope." he says in a low voice.
" Hey. Are you okay?" I say.
"Yeah but I'm really tired."he says. "When are you leaving Isabel?" he asks.
" The night of graduation but if I leave I'm going to try come visit you every month like I always do. " I say.
He starts to fall a sleep. It was probably a side effect from the drugs they gave him. He looks so peaceful when he is sleeping. I kiss his forehead and walk out of the room. I go in the hallway where there is a crowd of nurses talking about something I don't understand. I tell the nurses in a confident voice" I know my decision."
