The Moon and Her Sun

Two: "Doctors Appointment"

Carla @ 1:55 p.m. : Hey are we gonna go to the mall today when i get out?

Me @ 1:56 p.m. : Sorry I have homework to do

Carla @1:57 p.m. : Okay tomorrow then

I feel bad for lying to her. I mean I've known Carla since sixth grade. I tell her everything. Well except for the fact that I'm dying from Esophagul Cancer.

The main reason why I don't tell her is because I don't want her to worry about me. I don't like anyone having to worry about me really. I hear my mom's phone go off. Time to eat.

"It's time for you to eat Luna." My mom says to me.

"Can I eat when they call my name?" I ask her. Main reason because I want to be comfortable during my,so called, "Doctors appointment".

"Okay." She says "but you will eat ."

I nod my head and just my luck. "Luna Garcia." Says my oncology nurse Rebecca. I get up and grab my book bag along with my English book.

While my mom bring her purse and my feeding machine with her.

We get closer to Rebecca and she greets me. "Hey Luna how have you been?"

"Good how about yourself." She says "How about you mom?"

"Good." My mom replies.

We walk through the room trying to find me a chair. Then Nurse Rebecca finds a seat for me and my mom. I sit in  the famous brown chair  and set my book back beside me. With my book on my lap.

"Are you ready to start?" Nurse Rebecca asks.

"No not yet." My mom says "We have to feed her."

I roll my eyes at her. "Don't roll your eyes at me." My mom says "Who do you think you are?"

"Sorry mom. I just don't feel like eating." I say.

"You'll just eat for two hours and then you'll eat the rest at home. Deal?" She says holding her hand out for me to shake it.

"Deal." I say shaking her hand.

My mom sets up my food while I insert my       g-tube into my button. Once I'm finished my mom has food ready. I insert the feeding tube into my g-tube and my mom starts the feeds.

My oncology nurse Rebecca continues to look at me. "Ready?" She asks.

"Ready." I respond. Then the nurse starts my treatment.

"Okay let me know if you need anything." Nurse Rebecca says.

Let the Chemo Therapy begin.

***

Two hours into my Chemo Therapy and my energy is already drained. Mom stops my food.

On the other hand I accomplished a lot with my assignments. I'm glad that I took 7 class my freshmen to sophomore year that way this year I could relax.

I mean I finished my A.P. Calculus homework. Along with my Anatomy and physiology. Finish writing my paragraph for Spanish. And of course reading the scene at the party of Romeo and Juliet.

I mean the fact that Juliet lets Romeo kiss her hand is just disturbing. I mean come on Romeo you don't know where Juliet's hand has been. Let alone Romeo's mouth. We don't know what he's been doing with it. Or who with it I should say.

I try to fall asleep when my mom decides to talk to me. "Anything new at school?" She asks me.

I shrug my shoulders "Nothing much, just got a new kid in my A.P. Lit class."
