Chapter 36
Abigail's Pov
I stared at the time on my phone, it was 12:51 A.M. Later today, I would be going into surgery. I wasn't ready. What if I didn't make it? What if everything went wrong? I wasn't ready to die. Not yet. I stood up from my bed and walked toward my droor. I opened it and pulled out the letters I had written. If I didnt make it, I'd make sure they found them. I put them under my jewelery case, making sure you could tell the letters were there. I sighed, would this be the last time I ever stayed home? Maybe it would be. I just hoped it didn't. I went back to my bed and laid down. I stared at the cieling, feeling a headache coming. I groaned. Sometimes they were so bad, that I could only see a blur. I grabbed the pills that were next to my bed and swallowed them with water. Hopefully it would go away in a while. I let myself fall asleep. I would need it for later.
"Abby, wake up baby," My mom said shaking my shoulder slightly.
I opened my eyes and looked at her sadly.
"How much time until we leave?"
"Two hours."
I nodded and she left my room. I went to my bathroom to take a shower. When I finished, I went back to my room and changed into loose clothing. I didn't know what else to do. I couldn't eat because I was so nervous. Even thinking that I couldn't make it made my eyes tear up. It really wasn't fair, but when was life fair?
Before I knew it, we were leaving. The car ride was silent. I guess because no one really knew what to say. Beau was with us and he was holding my hand. When we arrived at the hospital, I changed into a hospital robe and waited for them to call me in. When the nurse came to take me away, everyone started speaking.
"We'll be here sweetie. I love you," My dad said.
"Be brave Abby. I love you," My mom said.
"Sis, I'm so scared for you, but I just want you to know that I love you. You're the best sister ever," Chase said.
Beau came over to me and kissed my lips,"I love you. Please just make it out. You're strong. I don't want to lose you."
I couldn't find the words to say to them, I just nodded. Even when they were wheeling me into the room where the surgery was going to take place. They injected something into my arm, and seconds later darkness swept over me.
Beau's Pov
We sat in silence the entire eight hours of the surgery. I don't think anyone could voice their opions over what was happening. Another family was sitting beside us and the girl came over and sat beside me.
She smiled softly at me,"Hi."
"Hey."
"So, what are you here for?"
"My girlfriend. She's in surgery."
Her eyes widened,"I'm so sorry."
I breathed heavily,"I am too."
We sat in silence. I could tell she didn't know what else to say.
"Why are you here?"
"My mom's in surgery too. She has breast cancer."
"I hope everything turns out well."
"I do too. She actually got on to us for crying. Isn't that weird? She said that she was going to see us in a few hours, so she didn't see the reason why we were crying."
I smiled,"She's really confident. I can tell she really cares."
"She does. That's why I'm scared."
"I'm scared too, but I think that's something we all have to go through. We're going to be scared of something. I think our worst fear is to lose someone we love."
"I think so too. Well I'll be going now. Hopefully everything goes well."
"Thanks. Same to you."
She walked away and I sat down thinking over what she said. The doctor came into the waiting room, and we all jumped out of our seats. I think you could see the desperation in all of our eyes.
"Lopez Family?"
"That's us," her dad said.
"Very well. The surgery went well. We're not sure if we took out all of the cancer. We'll be taking a few tests when she wakes up."
"What do you mean when she wakes up?" I blurted.
He sighed,"She entered a coma. I'm not sure when she'll wake up. I think it's because of the surgery. She should be awake in three days maybe a week."
We all breathed in relief. She was okay!
"But if she doesn't wake up soon, there's a more possibility of brain damage. We don't know how long she'll be in this coma. There's a possibility that she won't wake up at all."

Ergh! This is so short, but I mean I had to give you something! This book's coming to an end. Two more chapters and an epilogue, I THINK! haha, there will not be a sequel. I'm sorry ;/ But I will be posting two more stories. The names are "My Winter Love" and "One More Time". So please check them out when I post them? Yes? I'll love you forever if you do :D Haha I'll love you guys forever anyways.
The description for My Winter Love is this: "Reagan Davis does not want to visit her aunt in Maryland. One reason and the jerk's name is Darren Porter. Ever since he insulted her when theywere young, she can't even stand the sight of him. So, what happens when the people closest to her betray her and the arms of the "jerk" are wide open to comfort her?"
The description for One More Time is: " "I love you" is one of the biggest lies I ever heard. You know what the sad part is? It's that I believed you. I just want to know, how did you move on?" ( I might change that one though)
Thanks guys, for everything you've done for me these past few months. I love every single one of you!
