The brutal truth

*Ellie's POV*

His words lingered in my ears. As if he was saying it over and over again. I was completely speechless. "I'm in love with you" he said. Did he mean it? Of course he did. Why wouldn't he? He's here with me right now. All I could do was smile and hold on to him. I wanted to say something sweet but, i was so speechless. Fuck!!! I hated him because he did said things like this to me. Sweet and charming was all he was at the moment and I guess because I hate him so much I love him. Urgh its so weird. How could you hate someone for making you speechless but at the same time love them with all your heart because they made you speechless?

The thought of what had just happened carried on in my head as well. We were so close but, then the nurse rudely interupted us. I know she didn't mean to and next time I should take her advice on putting a do not disturb sign on the door for a while.

Honestly, I did not even know that I wanted him in that way until now. I mean yeah I wanted him in that way but, I didn't think I wanted it now until, now. I know it's confusing. I thought I should talk to him about it but, decided to wait until he mentioned it if he ever does.

It was early evening and neither of us has mentioned what had happened in the morning. Throughout the day I stuffed my face with food. I've been so hungry but, have been to busy sleeping. My mother had shown up around twelve with the food and ever since then, I've been eating like my life depended on it. Then again, it did.

Just a few minutes ago the doctor had dragged mother and Alex outside the room to talk to them without introducing himself. So I sat on the hospital bed just waiting for them to finish and tell me that I can start getting ready to leave this place.

The doctor, Alex and my mom walked into the room. Alex sat at the bed side to my left and grabbed my hand. Mom sat across from the bed in the hospital chair. While the doctor stood by head. By the way they came into the room I could tell that the news was not going to be the best news I've heard today. I took a great look at the doctot.He was your typical doctor. He was a middle aged man and white. Thats not what made him typical, it was the fact that he was in a hurry to get straight down to business.

"Okay Elizabeth I'm Dr.Karden." he began refering to my first name. "You fainted because you have not been eating and you were knocked out because your head hit the concrete. Is everything okay, how is your head?" he said filling me in with stuff I already know and filling with questions I didn't think he really wanted to know.

"My head is fine, I'm fine now so when can I go home" I said anxiously. The room filled with silence and I felt six eyeballs starring at me.

"What?" I said putting my hand on top of Alex squeezing it has tight as I can.

"Elizabeth...."

"Ellie" I said interuppting the doctor. "Just call me Ellie"

"Ellie...... I looked into your information and it says that you've been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. Now, the type of cancer you have been diagnosed with is very very serious and it is unlikely for a female to get but you got it. This needs treatment right away. Normally, this type of cancer like many is not diagnosed until its advanced. Your mother and I believe that you should stay in the hospital until your cancer cured," he said. I shook my head and released Alexs hand from my hold.

"If you don't stay in the hospital and receive treatment you will not survive a full year." The tears filled in my eyes after those words. The brutal truth. I looked up at my mother who seemed to be fighting back the tears as well. I knew this would be something that I could not argue about. Something I would have to face. My eyes turned to Alex who did mot seem to have any tears in his eyes. He turned his head to face me and gave me a assuring smile and grabbed hold of my hand again. I looked back at Dr. Karden and smiled

"When do I start"
