Chloes POV
Currently I'm sitting in fourth period biology class and I start getting the sharp pain in my knee again. I frown and start rubbing my knee only to be hit with a wave of nausea. Alex notices the unsettling look on my face and mouths an "are you okay?" from across the room. I nod, but I'm not sure if I'm reassuring him or myself. The bell finally rings and marks the beginning of my free period. Thank Goodness....
Alex rushes over to me and puts my arm around his shoulder. I blink a few times and hiss in pain as I start getting a sharp pain in my elbow.
"You need to get to the nurse," Alex says and starts leading me out of the room.
"I'm fine," I manage to mutter out but he ignores me and keeps walking. Every thing around me is spinning and it sounds like someone put pillows over my ears. My eyes flutter but I manage to keep standing. I see Josh rushing up to us out of the crowd of people laughing and talking.
"What happened!?" I hear before I'm swallowed in total darkness.
*******************************
I open my eyes and every thing is blurry. As soon as everything come into focus, I instantly recognize the room. The room where I spent most of my days and nights feeling dreadful. The room where my worst memories were. A hospital. I sit up with a groan and see my dad and brother asleep in two chairs. I try not to wake them as I adjust how I'm sitting, but when I bump my knee on the side of the bed, I can't help but groan in pain. They both jerk up in sync and give me a concerned look.
"How are you feeling sweetie?" My dad says first. "Are you okay?" Brandon then says.
"I'm okay, I'm okay." I say with a gentle wave of my hands.
"I'll go get Dr. Lewis," Brandon says jumping out of his seat and rushing out of the door. Everything feels fuzzy as I look around the room. My eyes land on my dad who is giving me a gentle smile. I manage to return the smile and put my hand on his. I hate putting my family through so much worry. Brandon and Dr. Lewis walk into the room and we both look up. Dr. Lewis has been my doctor my whole life. She gives a soft smile and moves toward the side of the bed.
"How are you feeling, Chloe?" she asks with a warm smile.
"I could be better. I'm still kind of lightheaded." I tell her with a shrug.
"Any pains anywhere?" She asks scribbling something down on her clip board.
" My knees and elbows." I say as she examines my knees and elbows.
"Looks like there is some swelling happening." She say and my heart drops. Another symptom...
She looks over at my father who has a concerned look on his face.
"We're not exactly sure yet, and we still have to run some more tests, but we are pretty sure the cancers back." She says with a grim look on her face. Tears well in my eyes and my heart drops. My lip starts to wobble as I look over at my dad and brother who are currently in the same state as I am. It was so hard to fight it....And now it's back.
A sob rips through me and my dad comes over and embraces me gently. He pets my hair and whispers reassuring things in my ear as sobs rip through me. Dr. Lewis leaves the room while my brother is sitting with his head in his hands crying softly. I continue to let the dark thoughts sweep over me and cry until I run out of tears.
