I'm Coming

Chapter 11

<Lyla> POV

"Lyla.. Lyla"

I woke up to my mum shaking my shoulder slightly.

"The doctor Is here to talk to you."

I turn my head to the right and see the doctor form last night and a female doctor standing beside him. The doctor takes my mother outside of the room and I can make out part of what he's saying.

"We have gotten the results back an.... to say....cancer, but we have ....form of cancer very early.... In Lyla's case ... treatment.. live more.. years"

I can here my mum sobbing before she walks in with a comforting smile and tears in your eyes.

"Lyla you-"

"I heard"

I don't have any emotion right now I don't even know how to feel right now. My mom forces a smile onto her face and nods at the doctor.

"Treatment options are surgery or chemotherapy. We could also use both if you would like."

"Is surgery safe for her age?" My mum asks.

"It has a slight risk to it but she could also have a boost from surgery to help her overcome this."

"Ill go with chemo." My mother looked at me shocked. I nodded.

"We will use chemotherapy." My mum said.

"Therapy will start in three days. We would like to keep Lyla here until her first therapy session to monitor her progression." The doctor said.

"Thank you" my mum waved him out of the door.

The doctor nodded and walked out of the door. Click.

I knew I had to tell Jeffrey.. I decided to call him. Alone.

"I need to call Jeffrey.."

"Okay Lyla, come on Eli let's go get some food.."

My mother gave me a caring smile before heading out. She knew this was going to be hard for me.

I dial Jeffrey's number and wait.

J= "Lyla! Is everything okay?"

L= "I got my results.. I do have lung cancer.. I chose chemo"

J= "I'm here for you Lyla"

I started to sob..

L= "I'm going to loose my hair.."

J= "Ill still love you"

L= "I won't be as pretty as other girls.. I don't want to die.."

J= "You'll be beautiful and you're not going to die it's okay.."

L= "I'm so sorry.."

J= "I choose to be here with you.. I love you Lyla"

L= "I love you to Jeffrey"

J= "You should talk to your mom and little brother okay.. Call me when you can alright?"

L= "I will.. Thank you. Goodbye"
