One-shot Wonderland

Not Goodbye

This idea randomly popped into my head and I thought it would make for a good one shot. Sorry it gets a little sad I'm in my feels rn😭

Eva finds out she has leukemia and she doesn't believe she'd make it. When she tells her best friend Noah he immediately shuts her down.

I can't believe it at 18 I'm diagnosed with leukemia. The kind I have is rare and hard to fight I did my research. The likely hood of me making with my plethora of other medical conditions is highly unlikely.

It all started with feeling tired all the time, nausea, throwing, fatigue, and fainting spells. My mom was with me when I found out and she hadn't been able to stop crying. Her little sister passed from leukemia at the age of 16 and it was very traumatic for the whole family. I'm basically a miracle baby and my family was super scared that I wouldn't make it past my first year because of what the doctors said. I defied all odds and had a pretty normal childhood and then boom now I have a malicious form of cancer where the odds are stacked high against me.

Now I'm telling my family because I asked my mom not to tell them. She waited in the car in front of the house for a bit so she could stop her tears and in her words "pull herself together". I gave her a long tight hug and made my way out the car into the house. All of my siblings were home and in the living room since I had texted we were having a family meeting. Usually family meetings are for important things so everyone took this seriously.

"Where's your mom?" Dad asks as he sits on the love seat where he and my mom usually sat during these meetings.

"She's coming in right now" as if on queue she walks in and I give her a soft smile before she sits down with my dad. Who immediately notices the look on her face and realizes that something is terribly wrong. He looks at me with worried eyes and I take a moment to gather myself before speaking.

"So you guys know how I went for a check up today?" I ask and they all nod their heads. I can see the worry creep up on the features and I immediately feel terrible for even having to put them through this. My siblings and I do fight sometimes but in the end we all love each other and news like this would devastate us.

"Is everything alright?" My dad asks eagerly.

"Not exactly, when I got tests done they found a rare form of leukemia. I have cancer and the change of beating it is slim. I'm sorry that you guys have to watch me in pain and especially you mom. I know this is hard for you and I want you to know that I'll always love you no matter what, all of you" I couldn't help but cry as I spoke and immediately my whole family engulfed me in hugs.

"You're going to beat this Eva" my eldest brother Ethan says hugging me the tightest. Sometimes it feels like Ethan is my second dad and he does that on his own.

"We'll get the best doctors and specialists. I'm not letting my little girl go" there hasn't been many instances where my dad has felt the need to cry. But when it comes to his family he'll cry and not care what anyone around him thinks. It's very admirable but I also hated seeing him cry. I hug him tightly and we all sit processing the news.

"Have you told Noah yet?" My older sister Julie asks.

"I'm telling him tomorrow" I say and they nod understandingly. After a bit more talk we decided to lighten the mood by watching a movie. The feeling of the room was still quite gloom but we tried to make the best of the news and cherish any moments we have together. By the time we finished watching movies it was pretty late and we headed to bed. My siblings and I had a little talk when my parents went into the room. We shared our favorite sibling moments and held each other until the tears stopped flowing. Me being the baby of the family with all the medical issues really has them scared. I'm glad my parents always treated my siblings with the mindset that they're just as important as me. It makes it easier for all is us to get along and share moments like this.
