Tucker's POV***
I miss her. On the plane all I can think about is how weak the chemo therapy is making her. The little girl that I have known since preschool is dying. I started to cry. How was I going to make it through another semester in Brazil. By the way Audrie looked she wouldn't last another week. She wouldn't eat anything and the pain, oh, the pain I saw in her eyes and on her face was excruciating. I turned my head and fell asleep.
Audrie's POV***
When I woke up I had tear stains on my cheeks from crying so hard. I missed him. I was so caught up in my thoughts abput him that I didn't notice when Nurse Anne walked in. She asked me some questions but I didn't hear. I was depressed
The next day I got a surprise.My older brother Drew who is a pilot in the U.S. airforce walked in the room. He ran over and wrapped his arms around me
" How's my princess?" He asked me I half smiled at the nic-name I'd had since I was four.
"Not great." I said He sat down giving me a keep going look. My weak form told me to sleep, but I rambled about the past events. How much I missed Tucker and my old life. I started to cry, which is something I did alot. Then Nurse anne came in with those same two guys and I remembered that it was Tuesday. I got a sick feeling. They lifted me onto the hospital bed. "Can he come with me?'' I ask and they nod. When Drew gets next to me I hold out my hand and looks at me with pitying eyes. I was getting tears in my eyes. "I'm scared." I whisper to him.
"I know you are, but I'm right here for you princess." I loved my big brother. So very much I loved him. They wheeled me in the white room and I started feeling nausiated just thinking about it. The nurse comes in with a doctor. I shifted uncomfetably.
"We have to get a bone sample, I swallowed. I swung my head and looked at drew he looked upset. I could feel my lower lip start to quiver. Anne tried to console me, I just shook my head. They put a mask over my face and i started to feel loopy. Then I was out.
Tucker's POV***
I miss my baby. I am just now getting off my flight and catching a cab back to the dorm. I get in the backseat and pay the fare. I can't stop the memories from flooding in my brain. I can see her body still and weak from the chemo. I hear my cell ringing and I pull it out of my jeans pocket.
"Hello?" I answer.
"Hey it's Suzan." My heart stopped,Susan was Audries mom. "Audrie is having a bone chip removed to see... to see if she has bone cancer." Mrs. Susan was crying. "If she tests positive then she .... will have to have... chemo therapy put into her bones. The will put a needle in her bone and leave it there. She is talking about you while she is on silly gas. She really loves you." I can't take it I tell her that I'll be back as soon as I can and then hang up. I have just now arrived at my dorm and I go inside and lay down on my bed. I laid down stuffed my head in my pillow. Audrie did not disserve this, her whole entire life and she loved every minute. And now what was I supposed to think for her. I just wish I would give my life for Audrie to be out of that hospital, out of that sickness. I loved her. She couldn't die, and I wouldn't let her.
Audrie's POV***
I woke up with an extremly fuzzy mind. I didn't even care that They had take a chunk of bone out of my arm. I heard the door open and I whipped my head around to see if it was Tucker, but it was just my night nurse. She checked me over and I just lay there not caring at all what she said or did. I was going to die. I knew it. If I just had motavation, someone. I missed Tucker and all I wanted was a special boy. The only boy I wanted. My weight was now seventy-four pounds and I had a problem of never being comfortable. I couldn't ever get into a position that my bones didn't pull my skin.
Drew came every tuesday and held my hand during chemo, but today was different. I was laying down in my room and Drew walked in. His strong arms picked me up and carried me to a different room than my usual chemo room. I looked at him and his facewas grim. I got shaky. I leaned my head on his shoulders.
Drew's POV***
"Drew?" Audrie questioned. My face was pale and all I could do was shake my head. A big tear rolled down my cheek. All I could think was what she was about to go through, the physical pain, the mental pain. I couldn't bare the thought. Tears threatened to go down my cheek but I held them in for her sake. Audrie didn't deserve this. I couldn't stop myself from breathing hard. Finally, we arrived in a large light blue room and they had me sit Audrie on a bed in the middle. Eleven, I counted, machines sat there. I knew that all of them would have something going into her. I wanted to stay and hold her hand but two male doctors pushed me out the door. Since I couldn't do anything about it I sat on a chair. I waited and waited and waited,Then I heard an ear splitting scream.
Audrie's POV***
I was upset and intemadated by the large room compared to the little one I was used to. I was layed on a hospital bed and they laid ai warm blanket over me. They brought my arms out and I felt them rub my arms with disinfectant. They put an oxygen rate on my finger and my blood pressure. It was a little low, but they decided to go ahead and do the chemo. They I see makes me get scared, not just a little scared but I was terrified. I shook all over. A needle that had a port you close and open by putting in a tube. This would go in my fore arm. I shook, this was going to hurt like all get out. Nurse Anne gave me some pain medication. Then, they did something unexpected, they took my left wrist and put it in a strap and I couldn't move it. Then they did my right wrist, then they did my ankles. I couldn't move and I started to get anxious. My head spun and I was getting nervous. This had to really hurt if they were hooking up a girl who could hardly move by herself. They put rubbing alchohol on the place the needle would go. The doctor brought out the insert and found the right place. I closed my eyes and got prepared for the inteanse pain. Then I felt it go through the skin, then the muscle, and then it hit the bone. It wasn't so bad until I saw the doctor push down hrd th needle went into my bone, and I let out a blood curdling scream. Then black ruushed to meet me.
