Chapter 18

Baby we could be enough...

♥♥♥

"Are you sure you want to do this?" I looked up at Harry as we walked to the hospital doors.

"I told you already Carter, I want to be there for you." He kissed my lips.

"No one apart from my parents have ever seen me at my appointments." I muttered.

"Hey..." He lifted my chin up and made me look into his eyes, "I love you. We're in this together Jones."

I smiled up at him and grabbed his hand, intertwining our fingers as we made our way to the cancer department.

Since I told Harry that I had to go through a bunch of tests to see if I could go on this trip, he insisted on coming with me and I, falling for his convincing puppy dog eyes, said that he could but now I completely regret it. No one, besides my parents, have seen me go through my numerous amounts of injections and scans. It was embarrassing for people to see me in such a vulnerable state. 

Once we arrived, me and Harry sat down on one of the blue chairs whilst my mum went up to the lady at the desk. My pulse quickened and Harry must have sensed my nervousness. He grabbed my hand and stroked the back of it with his thumb. He leant over and whispered, "It's okay Carter, I'm here for you no matter what shit happens." He smiled and pulled me onto his lap. I put my head on his shoulder and he wrapped his arms around my waist, pressing a kiss to my cheek every few seconds.

Eventually, the nervousness inside of me went away and all I thought about was me and Harry traveling to Greece together. "Carter Jones, Doctor Anne will see you now." The lady smiled and lead us to a room, different to Doctor Anne's room.

We walked in and my grip on Harry's hand tightened. There were lots of machines around us and there was a big MRI scanner. I hated having MRI scans. I only had them once a month and I had to lay still for an hour and fifteen minutes just looking at nothing.

"Harry, I didn't know you'd be here." Doctor Anne smiled.

"I wanted to be here for Carter." He smiled and looked down at me.

"We're going to do an MRI scan and then take a couple of injections, okay?" I nodded, use to the amount of tests and injections I have to go through.

I walked into the other room to put on a hospital gown, once I had come out Doctor Anne smiled at me and told me to sit on the MRI bed.

"The scan will take at least an hour so just relax." She instructed.

"It's not like there's anything else I can do." I mumbled.

Mum and Anne walked to into the other room, leaving me and Harry. I looked up at him and he took my hand, holding it up to his lips and kissing it. "You gonna be okay?" Harry asked.

"Besides being bored shitless, yeah, I think I'll be okay." I giggled.

"I love you, I'll be right outside." He bent down and pecked my lips before leaving the room. I laid down on the bed and the scanner turned on. I stayed very still the whole time and couldn't stop thinking about the fact that I could be going to Greece. I've already planned all the things I'm going to do with Harry; all the adventures we're going to go on. I couldn't wait for my final adventure abroad.

An hour later, the scan had finished and I went into the other room. Harry wrapped his arms around me and kissed my forehead. "That did look very boring." He said.

"Yeah, you have no idea!" I complained.

"Okay Carter, let's do your injections." Doctor Anne said.
