It's been hours since I talked to Nash and I am quite worried if you ask me. I'm pretty sure he would've been here by now.
"Uh this came for you." A nurse walks over to me and places a wrapped gift on the nightstand.
"Thank you." I smile and glance at Cameron. He's asleep in the chair, his phone still in hand. I slightly smile and turn back to the box, pulling it off the nightstand.
It's small and wrapped neatly in green paper, a blue bow tied around it. I look at the note taped on the side. 'My dearest Rosie, I know that I can't be there today but I would never forget about you. Stay strong, beautiful. -Nash' I frown and pull the paper off, revealing a black velvet box. I raise my eyebrows and open the box to reveal a necklace. At the middle is a charm of an R with diamonds sparkling around it.
"Who's that from?" I look up, startled and a grin spreads across my face.
"Nash." He pulls me into a tight hug before kissing the top of my head.
"You sure look different." Nash smirks.
"So I've been told." I smile and put the necklace on the nightstand.
"Think we can get you out of here to celebrate?" He raises his eyebrows.
"I don't know. They need to bring back the test results." I shrug.
"Oh." He smiles and drops his bag on the ground, causing Cameron to wake up. "Good, now we could also say hi." Nash laughs and hugs Cam, Cameron smirking and pulling away after a second.
"Man, I thought you'd never come." Cameron sits by my feet so Nash could sit in the chair.
"I wasn't going to." Nash admits and scratches the back of his head.
"What made you?" I wonder aloud.
There's a knock at the door and we all turn to face it. "We have the results." My doctor walks in and puts the file down on the desk. "Good or bad news first?"
"Good." I answer for everyone and brace myself.
"You have completely healed from your accident and should be out of here soon." He smiles.
"What's bad?" I frown and Cameron grabs my hand. I gratefully smile at him and look at the doctor nervously.
"You have a tumor." He crosses his arms across his chest and gives a hopeful smile
"Uh, w-what does that mean for me?" I furrow my brows and bite my lip.
"It mean that we have to start chemotherapy." The doctor sighs.
"So how long will this last?" Cameron speaks up.
"It depends on how well she responds to the therapy. If things don't turn for the good, I'd say at most 2 years."
"That's it?" Nash frowns.
"For now. We just don't know much about it. The process of inducing a coma was dangerous, yet we never expected a tumor to develop from it." He shrugs.
"Can I leave now?" I jump off the bed and try my best not to cry
"Sure. Your mother already signed the discharge papers. We just have to see you soon to start treatment." He turns around and heads out the door.
"She's here?" I look to Cameron but he just shrugged.
"Well, do you have any other clothes?" I look at either of them.
"Your mom brought me some." Cameron gets up and goes to a drawer.
"I thought you didn't know she was here." I raise my eyebrows.
"I lied." He throws clothes at me and I go into the bathroom and change. Once I'm done, I stare into the mirror and watch absentmindedly as a tear rolls down my cheek. I should've known that something bad would come out of all my accidents. I just didn't expect this to be the final straw.
"You ready?" Nash knocks on the door.
"Yeah." I wipe my face and walk back out, smiling and following them through the hospital and to Cam's car. Apparently he rented one since he's been here for a week.
"You excited to see everyone?" Cam clears his throat and looks at me briefly before turning into my old driveway.
"I guess. My mom never sold the house?" I frown and glance at him.
"Your stepmother owns it." He shakes his head.
"Oh yeah." I sigh when I realize I totally forgot about her. "So my mom knows what's wrong?" I ask before we get out.
"Yeah. She was shaken up but she's starting the payments for chemo." Cameron bites his lip and gets out, opening my door for me.
"Thank you." I smile and wait for Nash, the three of us walking into my old house.
"Rosie!" My mom rushes to me and tightly hugs me, kissing my head repeatedly.
"Hey, Mom." I take in her familiar scent and smile more.
"We need to catch up. Nash and Cameron can stay and talk too." She waves them over and we head to the couch, talking about random things and laughing.

3 hours later
I look out the window and smell the sweet scent of cake as my mom takes it out of the oven. I don't want this condition to hold me back. I'm sick and tired of hospitals and want it all to end. This is getting way too tiring and I'm not sure how much longer I can take it. This birthday has been pretty good, except for the news.
"What are you thinking about?" Cam appears beside me and smiles.
"Life." I give him a slight smile and look back outside.
"Don't think too much about it. Think about your future and what you'll be able to do when you're much older and known for all your albums." He nudges me and I smile bigger.
"I want to go back to LA tonight." I announce and watch as his face falls.
"What about chemo? I'll stay, you know." Cam grabs my hand and looks helplessly into my eyes.
"Screw the treatment. Let me finish my life and live in the now. I want to go back to LA." I walk to my mom and watch as she takes the cake out. "I want to go back to LA."
"What?" Nash asks, sprinkles falling out of his hand.
"Honey, you can't." My mom touches my arm and closes the oven.
"I can." I shrug.
"The treatment. Your doctor is here." She frowns.
"There's other doctors in LA." I shrug and look at each of the 3 people in here that mean the world to me. "Besides, I don't want it."

A/N: I know, please don't kill me. I literally had to try not to cry at the last sentence. I value Rosalie so much as a character and this is just her taking out the fact she's done. Who knows what will happen, though? Only time can tell
