chaelisa Head Vs Hart

Ch.5

Rosie POV

Lisa stopped calling me. But her two best friends keep messaging me, cursing me, and slapping me with all their harsh words for leaving lisa.

It's only one day, but my inbox is full of hate. Well, I deserve it. I'm dying anyway.

What do they want me to do? Tell her that I love her, then what? Tell her that I'm dying, that there is a 10% chance for me to be with her? I'll hurt her even more if I do that.

I still have two days before leaving Korea. Tomorrow is our graduation day.

Alice and I are on our way to get Dad to the airport.

The man who keeps pushing me to finish college even though I'm already throwing everything away and spend more of my remaining time with lisa.

I told him that I plan to go home to Australia to be with them, but he insisted that I need to finish college since I only have two months left in the university. That is why I'm crying in that School comfort room where I bump on lisa.

Is destiny really love playing with me? I get to be loved by the person I love, finally. What else does this destiny want to do with me?

I tried to look on my phone if lisa sent a message, but no. She never messaged me.

We waited in the airport's waiting area for Dad; instead of being excited seeing Dad, I'm worried because I can't stop thinking about lisa.

Is she eating properly, did she locked her door. Is she crying? I can't ask her friends because they hate me right now.

I feel guilty for doing this to her, but what should I do? What is the right thing to do?

I looked around and saw a man who looks like me. I feel the corner of my lips stretched up. Dad finally arrived; we waved our hands at him as he walks towards us. He immediately wrapped his arms around me and kissed my forehead.

"I'm home, baby. You are finally graduating," He said.

"Does it even matter?" I pout.

"Of course! You will pursue your passion, and It will all be worth it." He said while trying to hide his teary eyes. "You will live, baby."

But Mom did not live. Mom and I have the same Illness. She took the surgery, but she did not survive. So, I'm not expecting to survive this too.

I only sigh. I only have a 10% chance to survive if I took the operation; Mom's chance to live before taking the operation is 50%. Maybe this is really goodbye.

I still don't know about my current condition because my doctor is supposed to call me today for an update.

"Dad" Alice looked sadly at Dad and hugged him.

"No giving up," Dad smiled at Alice as he caresses her face.

They are both trying not to release those tears forming from their eyes in front of me, but I know.

"I love you both, and you know that, right?" I said.

Alice drove the car, and as we arrived, Dad cooked us some lunch.

"Aren't you tired? or having jetlag?" I pouted.

"No, I want to cook for my Princess," he smiled.

"But"

"No, but. Go and take some rest, get some beauty rest even though you are beautiful already," Dad winked.

"Yeah, so Mom sees that you took care of me well when we see each other," I joked.

He widened his eyes and scolded me, "Not a good joke Roseanne Park!"

"I love you," I chuckled.

Ring ring ring

My phone.

"Dad, I think I need to answer this," I said, and he doubtfully smiled at me.

I breathe heavily before answering it. It should be good news.

"Hello, Rosie." He said.

"Yes, Doc"

"You said you sometimes lose consciousness. And your headaches are getting worse, and I feel bothered because you said you always vomit lately. Rosie, your symptoms are getting worse. You need to get the surgery now. according to your latest MRI, the bleeding in your head got worse from last time,"

" I told you, I'm not planning to do the surgery anymore, 10% chance to live. Are you kidding me?" I sigh.

"Yes, you are going to take the surgery! We talked about this already," Dad said, looking at me.

"Dad, I'm dying; we don't need to spend a large amount of money for the surgery" I saw tears forming from Dad's eyes.

"I'm willing to lose all my money for your surgery, just live," Dad cried; I hugged him and put back my phone in my ear.

"Mom did not," I whispered.

"But you will, Rosie."

"Okay, okay, I will do the surgery, don't cry, Dad, continue cooking, and I still need to talk to the doctor," I said, and he nodded, walking back to the kitchen.

"Doc, 10% chance to live. I still have doubts, but is that possible?" I said, looking around, making sure Dad is not listening anymore.

"We don't know, Rosie. And it's already a 4% chance to live because it has gotten worse. I told you, you should have taken the surgery last month." He said.

I did not take the surgery last month because I still want to spend my time with lisa and my Family. I really don't care about the school anymore. So, I indulge my time because I can't die without spending time with the people I love, until I decided not to take the surgery anymore. After all, it is not worth it.

" Four percent. Okay, I will ready everything. I will say goodbye to everyone for real. " I chuckled.

"Rosie, I'm sorry." Doctor said.

"Such a waste of money," I laughed. "But, yeah, for Dad."

"We will do our best, and I will talk to your doctor in Korea to prepare if something happens to you anytime. Do you want me to send a letter to sign for emergency surgery?" He said.

"Doc, If something happens to me while I'm still here, I guess, It's meant to be. I will only sign for the surgery when I arrive in Australia."

"But, you have your Dad to sign it, right?"

"Doc, I trust you. That's why I'm talking to you right now, don't let him know about this." I said.

"Okay, okay. See you in three days, Rosie. Have a safe flight and congrats on your graduation. I will send you the prescription you need to take while we are waiting for you,"

"Thank you, doc. Bye," I said and ended the call. My eyes are starting to get blurry again and stop.

"Rosie, Come here," my mom voice, who is calling me.

"Mom!" It's me—the kid version of Rosie running to Mommy.

The surrounding are all white, and the view is a short distance from Mom and me.

I'm walking to her with the small version of me beside me.

"Rosie? What took you so long?"

"I'm here," I said.

"Princess. Let's Eat." My dad said, which made me come back to my consciousness. I shook my head and walked to the dining table.

"Dad, take care of Hank and Orange for me, okay?" I sadly said.

"Shh, I told you, you will live; you don't want to leave her, don't you" He painfully smiled at me.

"What do you mean?" I said.

"You are not really planning to tell me, huh?" He said.

" When are you planning to introduce me to your wife" He smiled.
