Pulse Of Love

Chapter two

Previously

I have cancer. I'm most likely going to die from it, because there isn't a cure yet for any type of cancer. The one thing I'm not going to do though, is freak out about this and worry my family more, when they are already so fragile. I'm absolutely scared out of my mind, but I know I have to stay strong and fight this. Not just for my family or friends, for me. I just don't know how I'm going to fight it yet.
-------------------------------------------------------

It's been a few hours since I found out the news. My family left about a half an hour ago, and I could tell they were trying to lift my spirits, but it didn't work. I lay on the hospital bed, just staring up at the ceiling. This is what it must feel like, to be depressed... Or to know that you aren't going to win an argument even If your right. I feel miserable right now, and the smell of the hospital, isn't making things any better.

My eyes are droopy, and I feel like I want to stay awake, but I know I have to sleep, I'm just afraid that if I sleep, I'll fall into another coma, and this time I won't wake up from it. I stare up at the t.v. screen, hoping that it could take my mind off of this, but I know it's going to take a while to get used to this. I don't even know what type of cancer I have, but what I do know is that now, I will have to take so many more precautions of what I do.

I turn on "The Vampire Diaries" My absolute favorite show in the world, and for the next hour, it does sort of take my mind off of everything. I don't know if I can choose between Stephen and Damon, and though I usually like the good boys, I like how Damon acts all tough sometimes, but then around Elena, he just doesn't pretend with her.

One day I hope to find a guy who likes me for me, is funny and cute and is a genuinely nice person that is honest and understanding and... caring. I start to doze off, but right as I do, someone knocks on the door. "Um... Come in." I say, sitting up. A nurse peeks her head in. "Hi honey." She says with a grin on her face.

"My name is Rebecca, but please call me Becca. I'll be your nurse for the time being." She says, holding out her hand. I shake it, gently. "So, sweetie I know that when you woke up you met a few doctors and maybe a few nurses who already asked you questions today, but I just have to ask you, so that I can know. I know, I'm sorry it's my job." She smiles. "No, that's okay. Please go... right ahead." I say.

I'll answer any questions, or do anything just to keep my mind busy and clear of every word that was said earlier today, because I do not want to cry for the billionth time today.

"Okay. First off, what is your full name?" She asks, pen in hand along with a clipboard in her other. "Gabriel Madison Blackwood." She smiles. "That's a beautiful name." She replies. "Okay, and how old are you?" She asks. "Sixteen." I answer. "Okay, just two more questions now. Do you remember why you're here and are you in any pain?" "Yes, the day that I came here I was out running, Because I've always loved running, I'm on the track meet at school, and I got this awesome feeling of freedom, like I had no cares in the world, and then it all just sort of stopped all at once, and I began to feel dizzy, and I was having trouble breathing and I fell." I look up at her, and watch her write on the clipboard, and it looks like she's scribbling, but most doctors and nurses write really fast, and don't have the best handwriting in the world.

"Also, now that you say it, no I haven't felt any pain, whatsoever within the last two weeks or even before, except for when I was being lifted onto the ambulance in the gurnie. I felt an excruciating pain in my stomach, and it hurt so badly that I passed out."

At that moment, she looks up at me and I see a hint of sadness flash through her eyes, for not even a mere half of a second, but as soon as it comes, it goes and her eyes go back to the bright blue eye color they were. "Alright, thank you honey. That's all I needed. Now I'll be back in a half an hour to check on you, but if you need anything, just press this button on the side of the bed right here, and me or another nurse will come. Okay?" She says.

I nod. "Thank you." I say and I watch her ponytail swing side to side as she gets up and walks out the door.

This is probably going to be a long night.
