Sunshine, Starlight | Aryan Simhadri

Part 113

"I don't know, I haven't seen her in really long though, we talked over the phone a bit but it's not the same"

"Yeah I understand, it's not the same"

"Yeah, well I'm here, just need to get to her room" I said walking into the hospital building

"So what are you doing today ?"

"Uh, well visiting Darcy and then I want to stop by Michael's cause he's been acting weird I want to know what's going on" I heard Aryan hum through the phone but he didn't say anything "what are you doing today ?"

"I don't know yet, I'll probably hang out with a few friends from school, when they finally decide what to do"

"The usual struggle" I laughed a little, greeting the woman who sat at the front of the children cancer clinic "alright I see Darcy's room, I'll talk to you later yeah ? Have fun I love you"

"I love you too, tell Darcy I said hi"

I hung up the phone and knocked on the door before opening it, Darcy was sitting on her bed not doing anything but just staring at a random point in the room

"Hey Darc" I smiled at her walking up to her bed

"Belle ? Oh it's so good to see you" I sat down next to her and hugged her a little shocked at how pale and exhausted she looked

"Are you okay ? You look a little pale" she smiled at me and nodded

"Yeah I'm good" I frowned a little, she was not good, even saying she was okay would be pushing it, I guess she figured out what I was thinking because she sighed "I don't know Belle, I'm feeling sick, like throwing up most day long, I feel so tired even though I slept over 12 hours and I don't even have the energy to stand up" my expression changed to pure worry "I don't know what's going on but it's scaring me" I saw the tears rise up into her eyes and pulled her head to me hugging her carefully

"Hey it's gonna be alright, you got past these before"

"But it's different, I have never felt like this before" I heard that she was crying through the way her voice was shaking and it broke my heart

"You're strong Darcy, you're gonna get through this"

"I don't want to die Belle" I felt every hair on my body rise hearing those words

"You're not going to die"

"But it has gotten really bad"

"You're going to be okay"

"And what if I won't"

"You will"

"You can't know that, no one can know that. Stop saying things that you don't know if its true"

"I'm sorry" I just held her for a while, letting her cry on my shoulder and just trying to silently comfort her, I ran my hand over her back slowly. She was right, I couldn't know. I had no way of knowing. But just the thought that this might be a sign of the cancer taking over made me physically sick

"I don't want to die" there she was, a 15 year old girl crying because she doesn't want to die yet, how unfair is life ? How did she deserve to suffer through this ? Darcy is one of the sweetest and kindest people I know, so how could she have such a terrible faith ? How can a person who's normally filled with so much life have so little left in her

I sat there comforting her for an hour before I went on to trying to distract her

I couldn't stay long since she looked really exhausted and I wanted to let her get her sleep but every second I saw her that unmotivated a piece of my heart shattered

I didn't know what was happening to her but I was terrified of it, I was terrified of the amount of possibilities

I put my headphones on after I left the hospital and just walked around a little, I went towards Michael's house but then stood in front of it without moving for around 10 minutes

I wasn't sure what I was gonna say or what I was expecting him to say, but i wanted to have this behind me

Michael and I had gotten closer after all the shit that happened to me with Jason and Valeria, I had few actual friends that time and Michael was definitely one of my closest, he always stood up for me and was by my side

I also feel like I still owed him, I shared my homework once or twice to make it up but I feel like that couldn't make up what he did that day back in February

I felt strangely nervous standing in front of the house, they had a huge house, more like a mansion and it was kind of intimidating

I rang the doorbell and just waited a bit, I didn't know what I was gonna say, i tried forming sentences in my head as quick as possible

Michaels older brother Elliot opened the door and frowned at me

"I haven't seen you around here in like years"

"Years is overdoing it a little isn't it"

"Nah"

"Is Michael Home ?"

"I don't know, he's probably in his room or something. You can just go up"

"Alright, thank you" I went upstairs and spotted Michael's room knocking on it and waiting for an enter or you can come in, but not hearing anything. I knocked again and this time the door opened

"What do you-" he stopped when he saw me and looked rather confused "Belle ?"

"Yeah"

"What are you doing here ?"

"I wanted to see you" his eyes quickly wandered over me and landed right back on my face

"Why ?"

"Well I was coming to that. Can i come inside or are we gonna talk about that here ?"

"I don't mind either way"

"You're acting weird"

"I'm not"

"Yeah you are. And I want to know why ? Did I do  something ?"

"You didn't do anything Belle just forget it"

"I must've done something if you stopped talking to me"

"You didn't, just drop it" I bit my teeth for a second but just started talking

"Michael I've had a really shitty day so please, please don't make this worse than it already is and just tell me what your damn problem with me is"

"You want to know what my problem is ?!"
