Too Good To Be True: A Tyler Hoechlin Love Story

Chapter 9- Meeting the Cancer

I finished putting on my makeup as I heard a knock on the door.

"Almost done?" Tyler said through the crack in the door.

"You know it is not very gentlemen like to rush a girl."I smirked.

"Yeah, well I am not a gentlemen." He joked, and grabbed my hand. "You look great by the way."

"Thank you, you do as well." I blushed.

"You ready now?" He smiled.

"Let me grab my purse, then we can go." I said walking towards the table.

We greeted Sam and Paige at the hospital.

"So does Laila know she is meeting the cast or is this a surprise?" I smiled asking Sam.

"She thinks the doctor is coming for a visit, but she doesn't know y'all are coming!" She smiled. "I can't thank y'all enough."

"Don't mention it." Tyler grinned.

Paige guided as to the room, along with Sam. The cast following us not too far behind.

"Laila, honey. The doctor is here to see you." She said before entering the room.

I saw a girl lying on her side facing the opposite way. "Hey mom. I was just about to wake up." Her voice was filled with sleep. She slowly turned towards us. "Mom I think it is spreading on my -" She stopped and stared at the room of people who stood in front of her. Her eyes filled with tears, and she cupped her hand over her mouth. Her head was shaved, and her underlies were filled with sleep and purple. She looked white, and pale.

"Oh my god. What are y'all doing here?" She smiled and cried.

"We heard you are pretty big Teen Wolf fan. So we wanted to meet you." Tyler said. The cast nodded.

She started crying hysterically. "Thank you." She got up, and ran to Tyler and threw her arms around him. Her hospital gown followed her. Her hospital bracelet on her left arm. Tyler had no time to say anything, because she ran for an embrace too quickly. Tyler hugged her back, and Sam cried.

"Your welcome." Tyler smiled as he slowly let go of her.

She ran to Holland and hugged her, then Arden, Sprayberry, Dylan, Coltan, Posey, Crystal and the rest of them.

"I just want to know why." She could barely make out the words.

"Your amazing younger sister, Paige, told us about you, and we just wanted nothing more than to help you. We heard your mom couldn't pay for the surgery alone, so we brought up some fans." Jeff walked in with a check in his hand, and gave it to them.

"Your paying f-for my s-surgery?!" She cried out, once again putting her hands over her mouth. "Thank you!" She fell to the floor and began to sob.

"Your welcome." I gave Tyler's hand a squeeze.

She ran up, and hugged me. I don't think she even knew who I was, but it felt good to help her. It really opened my eyes.

After a while, the rest of the cast left leaving Tyler and I. They all took pictures together, and gave her some Teen Wolf themed things.

"So when did you get cancer?" Tyler asked.

"I got it when I was fourteen, it wasn't as bad as it is now, but I had it. I had it for a good two years. I was clear of it for about ten months, but then I started getting headaches again. And they just gradually got worse. We went to the doctor, and see if they could tell us anything. They said the cancer was just starting again, but it wouldn't cost that much to take it out. It would be a couple of weeks before they could remove the tumor from growing. But a few weeks just wouldn't do it. A couple nights after I went to the hospital, I woke up in the middle of the night. I couldn't breathe, I felt like there was needles in my head. Like it was a bunch of nerves from my head slowly. I started to loose my vision, and hearing. It was like the pain was going throughout my whole body. I was throwing up, and having a seizure. But I couldn't control it or move. It was like my head had gallons of water in it. My mom drove me to the hospital, and they had to take it out immediately. The doctor guaranteed that it wouldn't grow or anything when we went to see him, but it did. But, when they tried to take it out, they found another tumor growing in the back of my head, close to my neck. When they finally took the first tumor out, they decided they might as well take the other tumor out. But when they did, the tumor started to burst causing me to go in shock. I was unconscious for days, they had to put me on that awful liquid food machine. They tried everything, needles, medicine, chemo treatments, X-rays, but everything failed. But they had something that they never tested, they didn't know if it would get worse. But I was going to die if they didn't do something soon. So they tried to start feeding me this medicine through a tube, and right when I was taking my last breathe, the medicine started to kick in, and I woke up. It should have been the end, right there but it wasn't. But I was supposed to get another surgery to take the tumor out, but it costed so much money that my family couldn't afford. But then you guys came, and this could be the end of my cancer story. I could be a normal girl again." She started to cry into my shirt.

"Wow, I am so sorry. You have been through so much. You deserve it." I whispered.

"Yes you do. I am glad we are here to help make it happen." Said Tyler

"Thank you." Paige whispered into my ear.
