Chapter 92: Radiation Simulation

Andy's POV

A few days later, the guys came over while Jessica was taking a nap. She has another appointment with her radiation oncologist next week to start the process of radiation and it's scary for the both of us.  Since we had a treatment plan in place, we finally decided to start telling people.

There was a knock on the door and I got off the couch, wiping my eyes as I walked to let the guys in.

"Andy!" CC exclaimed.

"Shh!" I said, holding my index finger up to my lips. "Jessica's sleeping." I said, letting them in. I closed the door behind them and followed them into the living room. They spread out throughout the living room and I sat in the empty chair.

"So, what's up?" Ashley asked.

"I uh, have something to tell you." I said, my voice cracking. Their expressions became concerned, which made me start crying.

"Andy?" Jake asked. They had rarely seen me like this. I leaned back and put my hands over my face, starting to cry harder.

"Andy, what's wrong?" Jinxx asked. I shook my head and just kept crying.

"Is everything okay?" CC asked, his voice quiet and gentle.

"N-N-No!" I stuttered, breaking down. This was my first breakdown since we had found out about Jessica's cancer. I had tried to be strong for her, but I can't do it anymore. 

"I have cancer." Jessica said. I picked my head up and sat Jessica emerging from the bedroom. I looked over at the guys and there eyes were wide. I wiped the tears off my face and took deep breaths, trying to hide my breakdown from Jessica. She walked over to me and wrapped her arms around my neck, kissing the top of my head.

"It's okay my love, cry." She said and I shook my head.

"I-I can't. I-I have to be st-strong for you."

"Andrew, you don't have to do shit. Just be there for me. Cry with me. Sleep with me." She said. I nodded and started crying again. After five minutes, I calmed down and looked back at the guys.

"She has a deadly brain tumor. She's getting radiation and surgery. She'll be dead in less than three years." I managed to say.

"Oh my god." Jinxx gasped.

"I'm so sorry guys." Ashley said.

"It's fine. We just have to cope with it." Jessica said, rubbing my arm.

"Well, let us know if we can do anything at all." Jake offered.

"Thank you." I said, wiping my eyes. They got up and left. Jessica grabbed my hand and pulled me to my feet. She led me to the bedroom and we laid down, cuddling each other.

*One Week Later*

Here we are, back in yet another fucking doctor's office. I already getting sick of doctor's visits, even though this is already the beginning. I just want my wife to be healthy again. There was a knock on the door and then it opened.

"Hey Jessica, it's nice to see you again." She smiled, sitting down on her stool.  "Have your symptoms been any different since we last talked?"

"No, same thing." She shrugged.

"Okay. Well, today we are not going to actually start your treatment."

"Are you fucking kidding me?" I groaned.
