Thoughts And Emotions

Chapter 5: I Have No Where To Go

It wasnt. My eyes begin to open and reality was coming back to me. My mother was there, along side Delilah's parents. The smell that I thought was Delilah, was only the panda bear she slept with. My emotions got the best of me and I broke into tears. My mother came to comfort me. She had told me that I had fainted ever so suddenly. She didn't know what to do so she sent me to the hospital.

It was a good call. They found traces of what could be brain cancer. They said that it was caught so early on that I would be able to go home in a matter of weeks after some treatment.
Though, that didn't matter much to me, since I didn't even care if I went home or not. To be completely honest, I didn't care whether I lived on or not. Is it bad that I wished they never caught the cancer in time?

I lay there in the old hospital bed. I stay motionless for a few minutes. My mother on her laptop trying to find movies for us to watch and Delilah's parentals silently starring at the wall, blinking every 5 minutes. They haven't talked much ever since Delilah. I guess that's something them and I have in common.

I tilt my head up looking over to Mrs.Derano, Delilah's mother, and notice she has a bag with her. She noticed that I was looking at her bag. She smiled and says with a soft - hushed voice, "Care to have a slice?"

She pulls out of the bag three of her best pies. Voted 1st place in the annual Bake Off three times in a row. She never makes these pies for anyone, only on VERY special occasions. Why would she make these for me? I'm neither important nor special. Oh well, why complain? It looks like I'm stuck here for the time being.

Might as well enjoy it. . .
