Chapter Eleven

Kalebs POV

As if my life couldn't get more stressful, I had to go with my mom to her doctor appointment this morning. At first I quickly declined the invitation of being her company in a room full of coughing people, but after glancing at her worried face I knew it could be something serious.

Quickly shaking those thoughts out of my head, I finished getting dressed and headed downstairs to lead my mom to the car.

The whole way there was silent, which was different, but comforting. I didn't think I could handle her telling me what was wrong, even though I'd be right beside her and know either way.

Walking into the doctors office I glanced at the clock and it was eight am. I was late for school, but I'd get there eventually.

On cue, there was people around me sneezing and coughing, but what caught my eye was to my left. She looked to be in her mid thirties, she was skin and bones and looked like she was going through chemo or something since she had absolutely no hair.

The first thought that came to mind was cancer. I looked at my mom and she quickly turned away and then it all clicked. My mom was complaining about a lump in her breast a few weeks ago, I ignored her because no son wants to hear about his moms breast but my mom had no signs of the flu, or any sign of a cold, it must be cancer, or a thought of having cancer.

I was about to start asking a hell of a lot of questions but I was quickly interrupted.

"Mrs. Presley the doctor will see you now."

"Okay." My mom whispered. "You stay here okay, I'll be out in a few."

"No mom, I'll go with you." I said kind of loud and it earned me a few stares.

"Kaleb, I'll be fine, I'll be out in a few." She said and gave me those mom eyes so I listened and watched her walk through the door.

I wanted to know what was going on, what they was doing to her, and why she had to have me here. I understand I am all she has left but this way getting to be to much. All of the stress I have been through my entire life was just unfair.

I felt like my blood was boiling at a hundred degrees fahrenheit, so I decided to get some fresh air.

I pulled my phone out of my pocket and decided to call the one person who I knew that I could talk to about shit like this and that was Maci but after realizing she was in school I got even more pissed off.

I knew I had to hold it together for my mom but my anger problems always got the best of me. After I cooled down I went back in and sat down to wait for her.

About two hours past and she came out and was crying her eyes out. I jumped up and quickly hugged her knowing that I was right.

"Breast cancer." She whispered through years and I clenched my jaw and held her as tight as I could.

I led her out of the doctors office and placed her into the car where she sobbed with her hands to her face.

About 10 minutes after her sobs slowed down and she started breathing normal.

"Mom, I need to know what they said."

"Kaleb not now please." She begged.

"But mom I need to know."

"Kaleb, I have breast cancer. They don't think I can survive it, they said it's Infiltrating lobular carcinoma. This cancer begins in the lobules of the breast where breast milk is produced, but has spread to surrounding tissues or other parts of the body." She cried. "They said it's been prolonged, and I have had this lump for awhile, I am completely inflamed and there's nothing that will help me. They defined it as a tumor, regardless of size, that has spread to places far away from my breast, like my bones, lungs, liver, brain, or distant lymph nodes." She sobbed and I felt my tears falling.
