My Illness

Part 10

Rosie pov

I was talking with everyone when I got a call from; Nurse Connors? I left and went into a private room to answer the phone.

~~ On-Call ~~

Rosie - "Nurse Connors?"

Connors - "Hey Rosie..."

Rosie - "Is everything okay?"

Connors - "I have some bad news"

Rosie - "What's wrong?"

Connors - "I don't really know how to tell you this"

Rosie - "Tell me what?! Nurse Connors, what's going on?!"

Connors - "Okay. They just found out that Killian's treatments have stopped working"

Rosie - "Wh-what?"

Connors - "I'm so sorry, Rosie. I know you two are dating"

Rosie - "Wait, how did you know?"

Connors - "I saw you two making out in the room"

Rosie - "How long does Killian have left?"

Connors - "Um, six months"

Rosie - "N-No. Please tell me this is some kind of sick joke. Please"

Connors - "I'm afraid not. They're calling his parents in the morning to let them know"

Rosie - "Oh my god..."

Connors - "I'm really sorry, Rosie. I just wanted to call you to let you know"

Rosie - "Thank you, Nurse Connors. I really appreciate it"

Connors - "Yeah, of course. And if you need anything at all, don't hesitate to call me"

Rosie - "I won't. Bye, Nurse Connors"

Connors - "Bye, sweetie"

~~ End Call ~~

I hung up the phone and felt tears forming in my eyes. I went back out to everyone else and they all saw. Addison ran up to me and hugged me while I just cried on her shoulder. How was I supposed to tell him that he only had six months left to live?! Everyone tried asking me what was wrong but I couldn't talk. I tried to but nothing came out and I just burst into tears again. They decided to leave so we did and went back to Killie's trailer. I sat on the couch and Killie sat next to me and hugged me tightly.

Killian - "Rose, can you please tell me what's wrong?"

I couldn't say it out loud because he told me that nobody else knew about his cancer except for Violet. So instead, I whispered it in his ear.

Rosie - "Your treatments aren't working anymore. You have six months. I'm sorry"

I burst out into tears on his chest.

Killian - "Hey hey hey. Look at me"

He cupped my cheek and tilted my head to face him.

Killian - "It's not your fault. You didn't do anything wrong. Do you believe that?"

I nodded slowly, still not wanting to believe it. Everyone else was around us, confused as to what we were talking about. Then Killie looked at Violet.

Killian - "They're not working"

Violet - (tears) "What..? How long...?"

Killian - "Six months"

Violet - "NO! I WON'T LET YOU! NO! PLEASE!"
