Dying inside

Charlis POV:
We arrived at the hospital the next day to check in. I was scared. Really scared.
The doctors told me they'd go with chemotherapy and radiation to try and get rid of the tumor. They said if that didn't work and the cancer spread they'd do surgery to try and get the tumor out. They told me that option was very risky and there was a good chance I would end up dying from the surgery alone. So I'm gonna hope that doesn't happen.

They also told me they'd have to use a very high dosage of chemo. This cancer is dangerous and it can spread very quickly. We need to get rid of it as fast as possible before it spreads to my lungs or my heart.

Il be forced to stay in the hospital for awhile. Since it's so rare to catch the cancer this early, they want to make sure it doesn't progress.

Ivan: "Are you sure you are ready for this?"

Does it look like I have a choice?

Charli: "I don't want to die. Im doing this."

Delilah was still hugging me and crying

Delilah: "did you tell mom and dad"

I shook my head

Charli: "they've never cared about me why should they care now."

They don't care about me. They only care about Delilah. I was always second choice for everything. No one ever picked me including my parents.

Delilah: "of course they care! You have one of the most deadly cancers in the world?? You know what percent of people have lived more then 10 years with pancreatic cancer?! 2 percent! How are you supposed to live your whole life with it!"

Someone did their research.

Charli: "Thank you for your encouragement. Hearing I have pretty much no chance at living is something I love hearing."

I did my research too. I can beat this. I don't plan on living with pancreatic cancer. I plan on doing my treatments and being cancer free.

I changed into my hospital gown and a nurse set me up in a room. It wasn't great but it wasn't horrible. I had a nice view of the beaches of San Diego.

I sat down on the chair they gave me to take the chemo and there was a knock at the door.
The door opened to Chase standing there with flowers in his hands. He wore a baseball cap that he wore backwards, and a graphic tee shirt with sweat pants.

Chase: "before you kick me out. No. I'm not leaving."

He came up to me and handed me the flowers which were daisies.

Chase: "clearly, you don't have a lot of family"

He pointed to the 2 people next to me

Chase: "and weather you like it or not, im staying because I am your family. I know you don't want me to be but I am. So I will be here for your first round of chemo and I will be here for your last."

He pulled up a chair beside Delilah and sat down

Chase: "and before you say no-"
Charli: "ok."
