I'm Gonna Love You Through It... (A Kendall Schmidt love story)

Chapter 2... I promise ♥

Cancer.... That word hurts people's hearts all around the world. It destroys lives, ruins lives, and even takes lives away. It doesn't just impact the person who has it, it impacts everyone around them too.

Kendall and I are upstairs in our bed now. It took us three hours to move to this mattress, but we finally got there. I sit in-between his legs sideways with my head plowed deep into his neck. His T-shirt is stained from all my tears along with some that are his own. His head leans down to where the side of his forehead is resting on my cheek. Even though he's here, I feel so alone. I mean who would think, me, a 28 year old women, in good health, would have cancer.

"It's going to be okay, you know" I hear his voice speak blankly. It was the slightest whisper, but it felt like he was speaking into a microphone. I don't say anything. I have no words to say anything. My mind has been erased not only from the world but my past too. His arms that were tangled around me move. One rest on my stomach, holding me closer, and the other grips my neck.

"I love you Kay, nothing is ever going to tear us apart." I wrap my arms tighter around his strong body.

"You're wrong Kendall, this is going to tear us apart. What happens if I don't make it! Have you not thought about that? I have a daughter to take care of, a husband to love and yet I'm on the verge of losing it all" he pulled himself slightly away and held up my face to line eye to eye with his.

"Don't say that, you're going to make it through it. This is just another thing we have to fight though" I shut my eyes and the tears escape my eye ducts.

"I can promise you one thing though." He takes his thumb and wipes the bottom of my eyes. "I am going to love you through it" I clutch my jaw and my cheek twitches because I'm scared.

"You promise?" I sniffle out. He lets a small smile peak upon his lips.

"I promise" I pounce back on him and he laughs. He pulls me back and kisses my forehead. It takes some time but the air I'm breathing isn't so tense anymore, but I feel my husband's body still stiff. He's trying to make me feel better, but now i need to show him I'll be okay.

"Kendall"

"Yeah babe?"

I pull away and smile.

"I'm going to be bald!" I never thought about that I guess. I can't change the fact of it because as soon as I have to start chemo therapy my hair will gradually fall out. I grab my long brown locks and hold on to them. Kendall pulls my hands away from them.

"You'll be even more beautiful without it" my eyes grow big and I want to cry again. I've always been insecure. My hair has always been what hid me away from the world. He sees my expression and hold me close once again.

"Trust me" was his final whisper of the night. We lean back into the pillows and finally fall asleep.

My brain stays wide awake though. Every single possibility of what could happen is running through it. I open my eyes and look up to see Kendall's stained eyes were shut. I wasn't going to make him cry anymore. I hate to see him cry. I was going to fight, no matter what kind of pain, agony, or remorse I was in; I wasn't going to let it show. This so called "killer" of women wasn't going to get the best of me and it sure in the hell wasn't going to rip everything I have worked so hard to get in my life away from me either....

So i know, it wasn't the best chapter, but i just wanted to get a look into how things felt. The next shall be better i promise. Hopefully it will sound more like the actual struggles of people with cancer. Anyways, i hope you liked it and i'm very happy with everyone who has shared their story with me about people close to them that has fought or lost someone to cancer. These story you guys have been messaging me have given me ideas but the most important thing is they have touched my heart. I've cried with everyone i have read. I hope they'll discover a cure soon!
