Love Made Me Better ~ A Byler Fan Fic

014

It had been two weeks since Will had seen Mike at the hospital, they had a phone call here and there but Will was worrying. He turned to look at his mom, glancing at her with a confused look.

Joyce looked back at him and smiled, "What's the matter honey?" She asked as she set her phone down to pay attention to her son.

Will bit his lip and sighed, "Have you seen Mike lately? I haven't seen him in two weeks and I'm just worrying." He admitted to her as he nervously played with the hospital blanket that was wrapped around him.

Joyce shook her head and shrugged, "I haven't seen him, Jane did say that they were really busy with school work because of tests coming up." She informed Will, "He's probably cramming last minute like he always does." She laughed, earning a smile from Will.

Will's smile slowly turned into a frown as he remarked under his breath, "Or Jane's probably trying to suck face with my boyfriend the fucking who-" Will raged before he got cut off.

"Woah! That's enough out of you!" Joyce sighed as she shook her head, "Look, I don't know what's going on with Jane and why all of a sudden she's kissing other people's boyfriends but don't call your sister a 'fucking whore'." Joyce sighed as she pinched the bridge of her nose.

Will rolled his eyes and slammed his sketchbook shut, weakly getting out of bed as he held onto portable IV drip, "I'm gonna go see Chrissy." He grumbled as he left the hospital room, leaving Joyce alone.

Will made his way to Chrissy's room, knocking on the door before walking in, "Hey Chrissy." Will sighed as he pulled his IV drip along with him and sat down on the chair.

"Oh Will! You don't seem a chirpy as you usually do." She laughed lightly as she removed her beanie to reveal small, blonde curls forming, "Look! I have hair!" She smiled widely.

Will gasped and hugged her tightly, "Oh my gosh! Your cancer is finally going away?" He asked as he held her hand tightly.

She nodded excitedly, "They say I might even ring the bell next week!" She squealed happily as she looked at Will shivering slightly. "Are you cold?" She asked.

Will shook his head and smiled, "No, this radiotherapy is kicking me in the ass, I had to start wearing my glasses again!" He sighed rolling his eyes.

Chrissy laughed and fixed the beanie back around her head, "Where has Mike been? I haven't seen him since that time in the cafeteria when I wasn't long out of surgery and really drugged up."

Will shrugged, "How would I know? He's probably kissing my slut sister." He grumbled.

Chrissy frowned, "Don't be so sour Will, I know that man loves you." She informed him, "I'm actually really jealous over what you two have."

"Yeah, so is my sister." He spat angrily, balling his hand into a fist weakly. He took a deep breath and tried to moisten his lips, but was met with a dry mouth again.

"Is your mouth dry?" She asked as she reached for a bottle of water, but when she turned around Will was sliding off the chair with his body limp and eyes closed.

"Holy shit!" Chrissy shouted as she grabbed her bed remote and repeatedly hit her alert button.
