Chapter 27
Cruz
It's been one difficult week since I heard her sweet voice. My family has completely left me alone. I still haven't left the hospital and I only leave Autumn's room if they ask me to. Today the doctor said he has some news and hopefully it will be better.
I'm sitting on the chair next to her bed and once again her hand is in mine. Her mom enters the room and comes over to hug me. I hug her back and let her cry into my shirt. She pulls away and looks at me with heavy eyes. A noise brings both of us to look at the door. The male doctor walks in and holds a white clipboard in his hands.
"Good evening. We have some news regarding..." he trails off but we both stiffen as we know what he was going to say. "We have done as much as we can and we have decided that she will be doing treatment. The treatment will strengthen her and hopefully keep her alive longer. There is one condition though," he says while looking at Autumn. Mrs Dalia holds my arm and I try my hardest to keep the tears away. His voice brings my attention back to his face, "There is a possibility that her body could reject the treatment which could interfere with her health and make it worse. It's your choice." I feel her stiffen next to me as her voice comes out horse, "We will take the risk. If there's a chance my baby will live longer im going to try everything." The doctor nods and walks out of the room. Tears stream down my burning cheeks and I wipe them away with the back of my palm.
The colours all around this room fade to an uninvited black and I sit down. My head feels like its spinning and for a split second, this all feels like a bad dream. Her voice brings me back to this sad reality, "She's gonna forever say 'I got this' even with tears in her eyes. She's a brave girl but she needs you and I can see it, Cruz."
There's a sadness to everything she says or does and it kills me to see her hurt. Yes, I don't know Autumn's mom well but I know that she needs me as much as Autumn does right now and I will be there for both of them no matter what happens.
