Cancer

Sixteen

*mikey*
They all made their way down as soon as they got the call. They finished up the scan and let me go join Pete. I nervously ran over to Petes embrace.

"MIKEY," Gerard shouted as soon as he walked in, along with Frank, Ray, and even Bob. "What's wrong? Why did they call us down here?" He asked nervously.

"I don't know," I whispered honestly. This was beginning to kill me.

"Are you all here for Mikey?" Doctor Sharpe asked as she entered my room again. Everyone nodded and looked at her, waiting for her to explain what was so important.

"So based on the results of Michaels last scan, it shows here the tumors have been shrinking at a rapid rate. Based on these charts, they look like they could clear up some time in the near future," she tells us, giving a small smile at the end.

"Oh my god," I heard Pete mumble and pull me into a hug. I look around the room and everyone has a similar reaction.

"Are you serious?" Gerard said in shock. Doctor Sharpe just nodded, and smiled again. I guess she finally learned how to show some emotion. Gerard grabbed me and pulled me into a hug. I guess I'll have to hug everyone here.

"That's amazing," Frank said joining the hug.

"GROUP HUG!" Ray shouted, also joining. "Bob get your ass over here and hug us," he mumbled after wrapping his arms around us.

Bob just sighed and joined reluctantly. I could feel them crying, hopefully it's tears of joy. I just stood there, arms wrapped around my brother and Pete, not really believing what I just heard.

I had this feeling that this wasn't right. I don't know why, I just had trouble believing that I could actually become better. I had this whole plan of what would happen to me, endless possibilities but this was not one.

I had this overwhelming feeling coming over me, I guess its from all the hugs. I look over at Gerard who seems to get the hint.

"I'm gonna go set us up a dinner. It's gonna be great cause I'm making it. I'll call you when it's ready I guess," Gerard says making an exit. Frank looks at him weird for a second. "That means you have to come with me Frank, I'm your ride,"

"Oh yeah," Frank says following Gerard out the door. Ray looks around for a bit before also leaving.

"I guess I'll leave too then," Bob says, clearly feeling a bit uncomfortable here. I guess I understand, it's a hospital. Pete enters the room, with two waters, handing one to me.

"Thanks," I mutter once I can breathe again. I look over and see Pete staring at me concerned.

"You don't look too happy for a guy who just found out his cancer is going away," he tells me taking a seat across from me. "Is something wrong?"

I just sigh, I don't know why I'm not happy. Any person would be lucky to have my spot. I should be so thankful, I just don't understand, why?

"Why me? There are people so much better than me, who have this. Nobody deserves it, it's just how did I manage to do this?" I mumble, not even understanding what's coming out of my mouth. "Why out of everybody who has cancer, why am I suddenly better?"

Pete looked confused for a minute, but still listened. He looked like he was thinking, trying to come up with an explanation. An explanation for everything that's happened in the past year, but that's the thing; there is none.

"Things just happen Mikey, and you need to accept that. It's gone, nothing more. You are fine," he said cupping my face.

"Alright," I mumble and he places a light kiss on my forehead. "Now I think your brother said something about a celebratory dinner?"
