One sick love story

The lost past- part 2

"So basically, let me get this straight.
You and my mum had me and feye when you were very young. Then mum ditched us when feye was just born.
Then around 10 years later, you had another child called Sadie, and the mum ran off with her and you haven't seen her since.
That same year, feye got diagnosed with cancer, and she died 3 years later.
And this year, you've met someone else and had another child with another women who you are now in love with."
"Basically... But I'll be honest here. When feye got diagnosed with cancer I did some really stupid things, I was alone, I had no girlfriend or wife, I couldn't handle the stress. so I went to a bar and met this girl.
She didn't tell me that I got her pregnant, she just said she had a child. She didn't tell me until Sadie was 2 years old, cause that's when she got diagnosed with cancer. But that was 3 years ago, I don't know what's happened to either of them now."
"Well we can tell you."
"Wait what! Do you know Sadie."
"Yes, marvin, we do." I interrupt.
"Well how is she? How she doing?"
I look at ben and he nods at me and tells me to finish the story.
"When I met Sadie, she still had Cancer. But the funny thing was, she said she doesn't Remember her parents. She was the most intellegent girl I have ever met, she was just 5. She said that her parents had abandoned her when she was just 2 years old and she was living at the hospital her whole life. Her 'so called mother' obviously abandoned her and never told you."
"I'm sorry, I didn't know, if I did I would have taken her in. But what about now, this could be great. Ben, you could come and live with me and your new sister, and I could adopt Sadie."
"Well you can't... Okay."
"Well I can, she's my daughter."
"SHE'S DEAD OKAY!" He shouts then bursts into tears.
He doesn't reply so I finish explaining everything.
"It was 2 weeks ago, 22nd of December. She passed, from Cancer."
"Er... Oh... Well I'm-"
"Don't apologise!" ben screams. "You were never there for her, she died with no family by her side. Her mother and father didn't even turn up to the funeral. "
"Well I didn't know, otherwise i would have come."
"Sadie was like a sister to me, me and darcy spent many long days in the hospital with her. To find out she's my real sister... to have two sisters dead of Cancer... I ... I just can't..."
"Ben it's alright. " I whisper and cuddle close to him.
"Wait.. Hold on a minute." Says Ben's dad. "How do you guys even know Sadie?"
"From the hospital"
"Why were you at-"
"Because.." I start taking off my wig.
"Darcy don't-" ben says
"It's okay ben, I don't mind."
I take off my wig and marvins face turns blue.
"Yes, I have Cancer. Is that alright?"
"Ben may I speak to you outside please."
"Dad why are you being so rude?"
"Just come outside please, I would like to talk to ben alone. If that's okay with you darcy."
"Of course."

They step outside but their door isn't completely soundproof.
"What are you doing ben?"
"What do you mean, what are you doing?"
"She has Cancer, why do you want to put yourself through that again ben. You've lost two girls to it already, you can't go through a third."
"I'm not going to.. It's Not going to happen to her."
"Ben, be realistic-"
"No. How can you say that? She's a person, she deserves as much as anyone else does. Sure... There's a slight possibility that she may not make it, but there's nothing I wouldn't go through with her."
"Your the one who's telling me how upset you are and how much you hate Cancer. So why did you go and pick up another one and put yourself through it-"
"What! She's a person, not a thing, you can't say that. Is that what you did to feye is it?, she had Cancer so you just gave up on her like you want me to do with Darcy."
"No ben I-"
"You know what, I thought for a second you might have changed, but I was completely wrong. Darcy, we're going."
"No ben, don't go-"
"Shut up marvin, I'm going."
"Ben wait!" I tug him back. "We need to find out more about your past. There may be a good explanation for all of this."
"I don't care, it's highly unlikely."
"Ben please."
"You can stay if you want, but I'm going."
I let him walk out and I find myself stranded at a strangers house.
He slams the door and his dad (still with a newborn in his arms) turns to look at me.
"Cup of tea?"
