Shhh...It's a secret. (Jc Caylen Fanfiction)

Chapter 25

We walked around the hospital, Shawn and I. We talked about Devin. Shawn said she won't talk to him. Chase came over yesterday. He brought me flowers and I added them to my collection. Many people have brought flowers, stuffed animals and chocolates.

Jc came to see me when my parents left. He only stayed for twenty minutes. I miss him like crazy.

Thankfully the doctors are allowing me to go to prom. I'm not really excited for prom but I just can't wait to see Jc afterwards.

I can't handle anymore crying people or "get well soon"s because it's freaking cancer. I'm not going to just get well soon. I won't get better. I'm going to get worse. There's no point in crying. It's almost been two weeks since I was diagnosed. I've accepted it.

That means it's been almost two weeks since Devin shut me out. After I hung up the phone I nearly couldn't breathe. Life was messed up, to have your best friend tell you you were going to die when you're trying so hard to convince yourself you won't. I turned right to Shawn, the only person who hadn't turned me down. He assured me it wasn't just me, Devin had freaked out on him too. Which, just really confused me.

Did I mention how much I hate tests now? Not pencil and paper school tests, these are I-am-going-to-take-your-blood-tests. Though some of you make object on the behalf that school basically makes you feel that miserable, you would shut your mouth after a single one of my tests.

I am tired all the time. I miss my life, the one where Shawn and Devin would pick me up and we would shop all day. When Devin didn't shut everything out.

It's starting to make me so angry. Who is she to tell me I'm going to die? I've always been there for her! And when I need her most she freaking tells me I'm not worth it?

"Woah Bray," Chase's voice breaks me out of my trance. "Put the cup down, what did it do to you?" he joked. I looked down at my hand. I was clenching the restaurant's glass in my hand so tightly my knuckles were a ghostly white. I instantly let go, rubbing my sweaty palms on my pant legs.

"Sorry," I muttered. The quiet voices of people around us sounded through the the hospital cafeteria.

"So how's the hospital life treating you?" Chase laughed.

"Well the nurses are bitches but there's this one nurse and he's hot as hell so I always request him. His name is Shawn." Shawn, Chase and I bust out laughing at the joke.

"Well I mean I am pretty hot. But you and I seem to be the only people to think that. Stupid straight guys."

"Awe Shawnie, someday you're love will come." I give him a side hug and messing up his hair with my hand.

"Gah gah don't dooo thaaat!" He wines.

My eyes skid to quiet Chase. He checks his phone for the tenth time in five minutes. He doesn't seem like himself.

"Chase are you okay?"

"Yeah it's just Devin. Ive been waiting for her to text me back for forever." He checks his phone again. I look to Shawn with a worried look.

"Wait, what do you mean?" I questioned Chase. His head was lowered as if he had been smacked.

"She hasn't talked to me," he mumbled, and I whipped my head around to Shawn.

"You told me she was talking to Chase!" I hissed, and his eyes were wide with worry.

"I assumed she was! Why would she shut everyone out?!" Chase's head flew up.

"What do you mean she shut you two out?" He demanded. I explained how Devin had basically told me I was going to die. My eyes filled with tears and I blinked rapidly to clear them.

"Chase can you talk to her? Go to her house and try and get some answers?" I take another bite of my salad. Stupid cancer diets.

"Defiantly. I will go right when I get done here. If she tells me anything I will come straight here. You don't deserve that or the way she's treating you." He touched my arm and looked me right in the eyes.

I can see why Devin loves him. He is a very attractive man. He's the sweetest. He always knows just how to make Devin feel like she's his queen. He takes pictures of her all the time and he buys her things all the time. I can't see why she would treat him like that.

"How many people have come to see you?" Shawn spoke breaking the awkward silence.

"Probably half the senior class." I listed some people. My teachers all came to bring me homework. It was very kind of them don't ya think?

"I better go." I stood up and hugged Chase and he hugged Shawn.

"Wanna go watch some college basketball while we bug nurses for more ice cream?" Shawn's wide grin made me feel good. He always knows how to cheer me up.

"Race you!" I picked up my hospital gown and sprinted towards the elevator.

Chase's POV

I pulled up to Devin's house. It looked empty but I went to the door anyway. I knocked a few times, nobody came.

I walked around to the back and took my key. Unlocking the door I called out for Devin. Nobody answered. I walked around the house looking in each room.

Upstairs the lights were on inside Devin's room. Her record player was still going. She just left. Her bathroom door was closed.

I knocked and then slowly opened the door. The shower was still wet on the walls.

"What is going on?" I whispered under my breath.

A pink box catches in the corner of my eye. I instantly turn and look towards the trash.

It's a pregnancy test... and on it laid the test, the positive test.

"Hey you've got Brayden. I'll call you later when I get this."

"Brayden. I know what's going on. It sounds insane and completely crazy. I don't believe it myself. It may not even be true but I don't see how it isn't. Devin she, she's pregnant. "
