I Won't Ever Let You Go

Chapter 9

1 month later

Breanna has done 4 rounds of this chemo and it makes her really sick. She has lost so much weight and it takes all her energy just to get out of bed. Seeing her like this is ripping my heart into pieces.
She barely has enough strength to walk, even if I'm helping her.
With all of the medications they have her on she isn't herself half the time, she is completely out of it.
"Baby it's time for you to eat so you can take your medicine." I say walking in her room with a bowl of chicken soup and her meds. "Can you set up for me sweetheart?"
She nods and sets up as I fix her pillow behind her.
She ate her lunch and took the medicine, without uttering a single complaint of how bad she felt.
"Do you need anything else princess?" I asked.
"I'm good."
"Ok, try to get some rest."
"I will." She replied then I left closing the door most of the way behind me. I headed downstairs to the kitchen so I could put her dishes away and eat lunch.
I was putting the dishes in the dishwasher when I heard Courtney come in. She was home for her lunch break.
"Hey honey, how was work so far?" I asked.
"It was ok. How's Brea?"
"She hasn't gotten sick all morning. She's asleep right now. I got her to eat some soup earlier."
"That's good."
I made us soup and grilled cheese for lunch but then she had to go back to work.

During the day Breanna was feeling good but tonight, everything changed.
I woke up around 1 to loud coughing and ran to her room.
She couldn't get up so everything got all over her bed. I grabbed a trash can and held it close to her while she threw up.
A year ago this sight would've made me sick to my stomach but now I've gotten over that,but didn't make it any easier though, I still had to watch the pain she was going through and how miserable it made her. My heart was shattered to see her like this, I'm breaking inside, but I can't show it because I have to be strong.
After a few minutes she stopped puking.
"Let's get you washed up." I said helping her out of bed.
I quietly led her down the hall to the bathroom.
I cleaned her face with a wash cloth and then got her washed up before putting a clean pair of pjs on her.
"I'm sorry daddy, I really didn't mean for that to happen." She said wiping tears from her eyes.
"Don't apologize, you did nothing wrong. Why don't you sleep in my bed tonight and I'll clean your room up."
"I can't do that, you won't have a place to sleep then."
"I'll be fine. You have get some rest if you want to get better."
"Ok."
I picked her up and carried her to my bed and laid her down beside Courtney.
"Good night princess." I whispered and kissed her cheek.
I made sure she got to sleep ok then I cleaned her room up and put her sheets in the laundry machine.
After that I laid down on one of the couches in the living room and went to sleep.
