Love wasn't on my bucket list (Complete)

Chapter Ten

......

I wake up feeling groggy with an aching pain in my chest, i open my tired eyes and can feel the crustiness in them and look around, noticing I am sitting in a large white room. I feel pressure on my hand and look over to see a large tan hand grasping my tiny one. I squeeze the hand i see Lucas jerk in the uncomfortable hospital chair and wake up from his not so deep sleep and look at me

"Danny" he says, smiling his beautiful smile

I try to sit up but immediately lay back down when the dull ache in my chest turns to extreme pain. I suck in air through my clenched teeth to keep from screaiming.

"Take it slow alright? Everything is going to be okay" Lucas says, stroking my ratting hair

"the doctor says we have to stay for a couple more days, then I booked a flight home" all i can see his pain in his sad green eyes

"i-" Im cut off by the doctor walking into the room, Casting me a look of sympathy before he looks at the chart at the end of my bed

"Danielle, I'm doctor sully. your condition has worsened, I have contacted your oncologist back in Canada and he has recommended you go through treatment when you arrive back at home, but for now, were just going to give you some pain killers and something else to keep your heart rate under control when you start to feel it race, because what happened the other day, was you got home from a very stressful day and instead of you feeling the pain of a heart attack, your body just shut down and then one of the arteries in your lungs burst and that why you coughed up the blood, we think you had a nose bleed due to a reaction from the Vicodin so we are taking you off that, and giving you something else"

"Okay thank you" i say nodding silently

He leaves and i look over to Lucas to see him crying silent tears. Someone told him

"Danny, I am going to be with you every step of the way, were going to get you treatments and everything we can to make sure you live a long happy life"

"Im not doing that Lucas, I don't want treatment"

...

Its been a few weeks since Danny got out of the hospital and i have been staying at her house and working. She has good days and she has really bad days. They said either she gets a surgery which probably won't work or she gets a heart transplant which is a mile long list but she was put on it anyway.

I'm on my way home from work, picking up dinner for Lucy, Patrick, Danielle and I when i hear my phone ringing.

"Hello?" i ask, waiting for an answer behind all of the loud music and shouting

"Lucas?" i hear my mothers raspy voice on the other end of the phone call

"What do you want" i ask, as my mood instantly turns sour

"I'm in trouble lucas, I need a loan" she begs, i can hear her crying through the phone

"I'll be in the mail tomorrow" i say cutting out the bull shit

"I want you to bring it to me, i need to see my boy" she says, starting to sob uncomfortable

"No, goodbye"
