Stormies POV
The nurse bought Ross some soup with 2 bread rolls and some apple juice. "Here. Eat as much as you can" she smiled before placing it on the table near to Ross' bed. I pushed in so it was Infront of him. "Can the rest of my family have food?" He asked. The nurse smiled "of course. Shall I bring you some up?" She asked. "No it's fine. Rocky, Ryland and I will go grab some" Mark smiled. The two boys nodded and stood up. The nurse nodded before leaving. "We'll go grab food then" Mark smiled. I nodded as he walked out with my two sons following. Rydel and Riker moved closer to the bed as Ross crossed his legs. "There's room on the bed" he told his siblings. "It's your bed. What if you wanna sleep or something?" Riker asked. Ross furrowed his eyebrows. "There's food Infront of me. You think I'm gonna wanna sleep" he laughed. My two eldest laughed before sitting on the bed. "You're amazing" Rydel told Ross. "Thanks Delly. But it's only a needle" he laughed. "You know what I mean. Through this entire thing you've been so...happy. You've been happier than us and you're suffering with it" she told him. Ross nodded "well. You just Gotta see the best in things you know? It's hard but I'll get through it. I've got all your support. So it's great" Ross smiled as he ate a spoonful of soup. "That's why you're so amazing. You find the best in things. Even when they're at the worst" Riker told him. Ross shrugged "well I sorta knew it was too good to be true. I mean. A 4 season show, 2 Disney movies, voices and appearances in other movies or shows, an extremely popular band, 2 new movies and a Broadway show with 4 KCA's and 3 TCA's. I mean. It does seem abit dreamlike. Something bad was waiting to happen. It just turned out to be this" Ross shrugged. "Oh Ross." I whispered, hugging him. "It's fine though. I don't wanna think about my...potential death. Did you tell the fans?" He asked. "We posted a picture of you with no explanation. They're gonna say at the interview tomorrow" I explained. He nodded slightly and yawned. "If you're tired you can sleep" Rydel said. Ross shook his head "no I'm fine" he smiled. "Okay. If you are tired though-" Ross cut Riker off. "I will." He assured. I rubbed his arm. "You're amazing."
2 weeks later
Ross' POV
8:00am
2 weeks of chemo.
2 weeks!
It isn't helping.
My whole life at the moment is Chemo, Scans, eating, sleeping.
The fans know. '#PrayForRoss' is trending. And it has been for 2 weeks.
I haven't even been able to thank them. I just can't encourage myself too.
Riker's keeping his promise. He doesn't leave. Mom and dad do. Court came once. I broke up with her. I couldn't break her heart. But if I do get better. I said we can try again.
I opened my eyes and saw Riker still asleep. My eyes were so heavy. It's one of them days. My arm was itchy. I'm getting the rash that the doctor told me about. Plus I've got some Mouth Ulcers or something. I don't know but they're fucking painful. Riker shifted and woke up. "Hey" he smiled slightly. I just stared at him and he moved closer. "One of those days?" He whispered, running a hand through my hair. It hasn't started to fall out yet. Luckily. I nodded slightly. "Oh baby bro. You're so strong." He whispered. I smiled slightly. "Oh. Your rash is getting worse." He mumbled, looking at my arm. "Let's see your mouth" he ordered. I opened it as far as I could and he looked. "You've got a few more. I'll run and get the nurse" he smiled. I grabbed his hand. "Nuh" I coughed. "Okay. I'll stay okay?" He whispered. I smiled slightly. Riker pressed the help button and momentarily a nurse walked in.
"Good morning boys. Ross let's check you over" she smiled. "His rash is getting worse and the mouth ulcers have increased" Riker frowned. "Oh Ross" the nurse frowned. "We'll give you some more antibiotics and see how it goes from there. You seem to be decent right now. Apart from your mouth and arms. Is anything hurting? Any nausea?" She asked. I shook my head. She smiled "that's good. Right. You don't have chemo today so that's good. You can have a break day apart from your blood transfusion and maybe a scan" she smiled. I smiled "not really much of a break then. Especially if I'm in Alot of pain" I whispered, hoarsely. "We'll sort that. Be right back with your antibiotics" she smiled before leaving.
"You're amazing" Riker smiled, leaning back on his seat. "Can you make the bed go up abit?" I whispered. He nodded before moving the bed up. "That okay?" He asked. "Can you hold me?" I coughed. "Hold you?" He asked, concern flooding his eyes. "Everyone's treating me like I've got the plague. I need cuddles" I told him. He smiled and nodded before laying next to me. I placed my head on his chest. "I love you" I whispered. He held me "I love you so much" he whispered back. "You're so strong." I shook my head "you're stronger. You haven't shed a tear at all. You're amazing" I told him. The nurse walked back in and gave me some antibiotics. "Thanks"
12:00pm
I opened my eyes and saw Rydel talking to Riker, who I was still asleep on. "Hey rossy" Rydel smiled. I smiled slightly. "Hey" I whispered. "The nurse has given you more antibiotics" she smiled. I nodded "are you hungry? D'you need anything?" She asked. I shook my head "m'fine" I assured. My older sister smiled and kissed my head. "I love you so much. Everything is gonna be okay"
