Walk with me

Chapter 2

There was a long silence the only thing you could hear was the annoying buzz of the yellowish lights that barely lit the room. "ARE YOU SURE?!" Michael was so angry that his fist was so tight that his knuckles where white! So I put my hand on his to calm him down and it worked because he loosened his fist. "Yes we are sure. We checked twice." She looked so sad she must really love her patients. "Let's talk about options. You can get----" before she had a chance to finish I said "I don't want any treatment" my voice was a bit crackly but they heard me. "Are you sure ms.Kelly?" "Yes. I mean it's a small chance it would work anyway." I was trying to sound less scared than I was but I don't think it worked. "Ok I will be back in a minute. The doctor wants to talk with me." And with that the nurse left. I looked back at Michael to make sure he was still alive because he never said anything since I said that I don't want the treatment. "Michael..... Are you alright?" I asked softly while looking in those soft eyes. Michael never responded he just stared into space. He looked like he seen a ghost. "Michael......" I asked again but this time he turned around and walked over to the window and just stood there. "Michael will you please talk to me!" I said it a bit irritated but I was! "What do you want me to say kell? You just chose death over life and I can't believe after what you seen your mom go through and my grandfather...." He was really mad but he was also hurt and he started crying. I only ever seen him cry once.
It was my sweet sixteen except it wasn't that sweet. You see my mom ended up getting sick we thought that she picked up something from work but at my party she ended passing out and we took her to the hospital and they told us,
me and Michael, that she had brian cancer and about two hours into the treatment she died. That's why I didn't want the treatment. And as for Michael's grandfather he ended up getting lung cancer and died. Him and Michael were very close because Michael's dad moved when he was born. But at the funeral he didn't cry because he felt like he needed to be strong for his grandma and his mom. Ever since those events he has been very sensitive about cancer. He donates $20 per week to different cancers. One week it's breast cancer the next it's lung cancer and so on.
"I thought you'd understand why I wouldn't want it! It killed my mom!" I'm shaking now and holding back tears and I'm practically yelling at him. "I'm sorry Kelly. It's just that I lost my granddad to cancer I don't want to loose you too!" He walked over to me and hugged me and then kissed my forehead. " we're going to get through this together" he whispered in my ear sweet and soft but with a hint of sadness. "Get some rest,tomorrow I'm taking you some place nice!" He's now smiling and it's 2:00am so I smile back and ask "where are you taking me?" "It's a surprise!" He kisses me and tucks me in and then he sings me to sleep. It's the first time I've heard him sing and he's so elegant! His voice is so beautiful it's just might make angels jealous! The next thing I know I fall in a deep deep sleep filled with wonderful dreams of us.
