Carter

"H-Harry?" My voice is weak and my eyes slowly open. I look around the unfamiliar room and turn to see the annoying beeping noise next to me. My body is hooked up to machines and I'm no longer wearing my normal clothes.

The last thing I remember was me and Harry at the park. I couldn't breath and then I fainted. I close my eyes tightly before opening them again and trying to sit up. My head is pounding but it is a lot easier to breathe. I feel the cannula on my nose and follow the wire it is connected with which leads to an oxygen tank.

I jump when the door opens and in walks Doctor Anne. "Hello Carter." She smiles and walks over to the machines. She goes through the papers, "How are you feeling?"

"Tired and everything aches." I tell her and put my hand up to my head, trying to get rid of the migraine.

"Do you remember what happened?" She asks.

"I remember being at the park with Harry and then I couldn't breathe. I fainted." I explain to her everything I remember happening.

"I have something very serious to tell you Carter." Her mood completely changes from happy to sad and worry. "Would you like me to get your parents?"

I nod, "And Harry..."

She walks out the room and I feel a tear escape my eye. I'm not sure if I want to know what she has to say. I have a feeling that what I don't want to happen is happening and I know there's nothing I can do besides try and fight it.

The door opens and my mum and dad walk in, both in a sobbing mess. They walk over to me and sit on either side of the bed, holding me in their arms. "We've been so worried Carter." Mum cries and kisses the top of my head.

"I'm okay mum." I try and calm her down.

"You don't understand Carter...The doctor said-" The door opens again and we turn to see who's come in. My eyes light up at my Harry walking through the door into the room but I frown when I take in his appearance. His hair is scruffy and his eyes bloodshot.

I did this.

"We'll leave you two alone for a while." My parents move off the bed and give me a kiss on the forehead before leaving the room.

Harry walks over to me and I open up my arms. He immediately walks into them and starts crying. "I can't lose you." He cries and I rub my hand up and down his back.

"We'll get through it Harry. I love you." I assure him but not even believing my own words besides loving him.

"I love you too, so much." He whispers and cups my cheek, pressing his lips to mine.

After a while, Doctor Anne and my parents walk in, my mum and dads faces stained with tears. "Carter I'm afraid we have some bad news." Anne starts, "your condition is getting worst and we have found out that if we don't treat it right, you have approximately 2-3 months left."

This very day has haunted me for so long and  now it's finally my reality. It's too much and I can't bare it anymore. I feel the tears fall from my eyes and Harry pulls me into a tight hug.

"I'm so so sorry." Doctor Anne's voice breaks, "We will be starting chemotherapy as soon as possible and try and find a way to fight it." She says and walks out the room.

"We'll get through it all baby. You and me are in this together Jones." I laugh through my tears as Harry uses my nickname from him.

"You and me Harold." I kiss his cheek and we sit in silence for a while, letting the terrifying news sync in.
