Chapter 28

Sara's POV

I groaned as I slowly opened my eyes, my head was still killing me and I knew that I didn't have a hangover. I saw Jess laying in front of me with her tongue out of her mouth and on the bed, staring at me. She licked my face and I laughed, she always knew how to make me feel a little better. I sat up, took my phone from the mantle and went on hotschedules to see what my schedule would be for the week.

"Ok, I'm off today and tomorrow, then I work the rest of the week.....great." I sighed and looked at Jess. She was being a idiot and rolling around like crazy while making noises. After a couple minutes of watching the weird animal have a seizure she gave me a look that said, 'let me out before I pee in the bed.' We went downstairs, I let her out the back door and I looked over at the couch to see Mitch sound asleep.

"That idiot." I said with a laugh. I let Jess back in after a minute and held my head. My migraine seemed to have gotten ten times worse that what it was last night, it was almost crippling. I got out my phone, and called my doctors office. The phone rang a couple times before I heard the receptionist.

"Thank you for calling Doctor shaw's office, this is his assistant Joy speaking."

"Yes this is Sara-" She interrupted me before I could finish.

"Oh Sara! Why you haven't been here for a while now! So what's the problem?"

"Well I have had this killer migraine nice last night and it is only getting worse and worse by the minute. I was wondering if I could come in sometime today to get it looked at?"

"Well, sweetie you're in luck. There is an opening for ten a.m. today. Does that work for you?" The time on the grand father clock showed that it is an hour from now.

"Sure, be there in a bit, ok?" She agreed, said her goodbyes and I slowly made my way upstairs. 'In this condition I can't drive,' I thought,' good thing there is a certain service I can call.'

I got upstairs, got dressed in under twenty minutes,and called Uber. God this service is hard to deal with but it's better than taking a cab. My driver called when he was in front of the house and I made my way downstairs. I saw Mitch still sleeping and sighed. He'll worry himself to death if he doesn't know where I went. I wrote a note, put it on the table and left the house to see what looked like a part Uber. Music blasting, neon trimming, and I felt like I should've had a burrito and a bottle of vodka so I could have fun before my doctor visit. I got in the car and the car drove off towards the hospital after I told the driver.

He dropped me off and I almost fell as I got out of the car. This headache was killing me, it was very hard to see or focus. I eventually made it to the doctors office and after a minute of waiting the doctor saw me.

"Hello ms. Gregg. I understand that you have had a migraine that has been occurring from a certain time last night. Will you please tell me what time that was?" He asked as he sat across from me.

"Well....it happened around 9:16 last night and it started out minor but it spiked whenever I got stressed out and I eventually made it through the night. I the had to deal with my infuriating partner and he just made it a thousand times worse and now it's just way worse than it was. It's hard to talk, stand, walk or do anything." I sound slurred as I said this. The doctor wrote on his clip board and we sat there for a few minutes. Things started to spin, slowly but surly, and things started to go dim. The doctor noticed and looked at me with a confused look on his face.

I could barely hear him through the ringing in my ears, "Ms. Gregg? Are you alright?" He continued to speak but he was drowned out by the ringing in my ears. I started to twitch, involuntarily, it was hard to breath and the doctor looked increasingly worried. The next thing I knew I was on the floor twitching uncontrollably, the doctor appeared above me and before everything went dark I saw him calling for someone.

"Joy get someone in here to help me she's having a seizure!"

Mitch's POV

My eyes opened to Jerome sitting in front of me with a look as if he wanted to tell me something but didn't have the heart to. He noticed that I was awake after I stared at him for a couple minutes, "...Morning Mitch....sleep well?" He said quietly. He sounded conflicted. I slowly sat up and stretched.

"Morning Jerome." I said and looked around. I saw a note on the table. I grabbed in and read it, I checked my phone to see what time it was, "It's two in the afternoon, shouldn't she be back?" I asked and looked at him. He had tears in his eyes.

"That's....the thing....Sara might not be coming back here for a while." My eyes widened. "W....what happened?"

******

I ran into the room to see Sara talking to a doctor. I was slightly relieved that she was at least awake. My smile quickly faded when I saw the forlorn look on her face.

"Are you Mitchell Hughes?" The doctor asked, I slowly nodded.

"Mitch will you please take a seat at the foot of Sara's bed so I can explain what's wrong." I complied and sat at the foot of her bed. I had a horrible feeling about this.

Sara's POV

My heart was pounding violently. I had a feeling that I knew what it was...but I didn't want to admit it. The doctor looked at me with a look of pity. I never liked that look whenever I saw it, It always felt horrible to see. My stomach churned as the tension grew. Why wouldn't he just tell us what was wrong already?

"I'm sorry to say this but....with the symptoms that you have shown, your blood results that came back from the lab here at the hospital, and your previous medical history......I'm sorry to say that you have one, if not several brain tumors. One on your temporal, a few on your cerebellum, and one on your frontal lobe..."

My heart shattered into pieces....cancer.....a previous battle that I had won before. I was sure that this time though, I would be the one who lost.
