IN LOVE WITH MY BABYSITTER

Chapter 22

Brooklyn's P.O.V

I woke up and had the shock of my life. I was in the hospital with a needle drip in my arm. I looked around and saw my dad with Joshua and the doctor.

"Brooklyn how are you feeling?" The doctor asked me.

"Tired that's all." I said slowly.

"How did I end up in here?" I added.

Joshua sat on the chair next to the hospital bed and took my hand.

"I knocked your door open after I you never replied when I called you then I found you laying on the floor unconscious. You really scared me you know." He said with a sad look on his face. I don't remember any of that. The only thing I remember were when I choose out my outfit then everything after that was a blur.

"What's wrong with me dad?" I asked looking sat his red and puffy eyes.I could tell that something wasn't right.

"Brooklyn." The doctor said.

"Yes...." I said slowly.

"You have stage 4 of colon cancer. Your first operation is due tomorrow." He told me. My throat began to feel rough and I began to tear up. Me, having stage 4 cancer it can't be. Am I getting linked or something.

"No it can't be why me, why." I said through my tears. I ran my fingers through my hair and Joshua was tearing up to.

"We think that you had gotten it because of your mother as side. If we can cut all of the cancer out then we will have to put you on chemotherapy." My dad said.

Joshua hugged me and I hugged him.
"Joshua is this really happening?" I asked him. My tears soaked into his hoodie.

"I'm afraid so." He said. That's when reality hit me. I had cancer and I might die.

"Look I understand that your upset but you need to save your strength for tomorrow's operation." The doctor said.

"Dad can I please speak to Josh alone?" I told him.

"Sure thing sweetie." My dad said then him and the doctor exited the room.

"Brooklyn, baby, look I need you to be strong you have to fight ok." He said then whipped the tears from my face.

"I can't do this Josh, I can't do this I'm only 14 and I haven't even began living my life." I told Josh.

"You won't do it alone I'll be by your side every step of the way. Nothing will happen to you as long as I'm here." He said then pulling me into a hug. He sat on the bed next to me Ann's I rested my head on his chest. I heard his heart beating. He rubbed my shoulder and it relaxed me. I felt sleep overtake my face and I fell asleep.

I woke up at 23:35 and Josh was sleeping. We were still in the same position that we fell asleep in. To my surprise my dad was sleeping in the chair. I was surprised that he didn't tell Josh to move away from me. I realised that I had taken my longer for granted. I was afraid of dead say if I never got rid of the cancer and then what?

"Brooklyn, honey you awake?" Josh asked. I never knew that he was awake.

"Yes...." I told him.

"What you thinking about?"

"What might happen tomorrow I'm afraid that I might not wake up or something Im just really am afraid of death."

"Dont think like that. Nothing will happen to you just please think positive."

"Ok but promise me that if anything happens to me that my dad knows about our relationship." I said. If I died I wanted my dad to know about US.

"He already knows."

"What....? He does?"

"Yes he told me that he approves of our relationship."

"That cool."

"Brooke you should try and sleep some more remember you have a big day ahead of you."

"Ok."

"Josh?" I added.

"Ya."

"I love you."

"I love you too."

Then we went to sleep.
