My Reunion

•31•

I open my eyes a little bit to see faces looking at me. My eyes grow heavy again and I close them darkness surrounding me.

I force them open again to see a man looking at me putting an oxygen mask on me. He tells me things but I don't understand what he's saying.

I see cam from the corner of my eyes crying his heart out. He tries calling someone but he has no luck. My eyes get heavy and I close them once more.

This time I hear beeps of a machine. I open my eyes slowly staring at a white ceiling.

Pain.

That's all I can feel. Pain. I look to see Cam asleep on the chair beside me. His face red from crying. Gah I feel bad. I look to see gifts around the room.

I reach for the bed remote but it's too far away. I let out a small whimper that wakes up Cam. He looks at me coming close. He kisses my forehead holding me close.

He pulls away and he grabs the remote handing it to me. He wipes his eyes covering his mouth with his hands. He lets out a big breath his leg shaking.

I put the bed in a sitting position. I grab his hand squeezing it with my strength. He kisses my hand. The doctor comes in with a clipboard.

"Hello Hazel how are you feeling?"

I try speaking but my throats hurts so I put my hand over my throat.

"Don't talk. Your vocal cords were damaged in the crash. I have a white board for you. Now down to the serious problems. You have a few broken ribs, broken wrist, small concussion-" He gets interrupted by some of the guys coming in.

"Sorry doctor this is her family." Cam says.

Hayes looks at me crying. He comes beside me grabbing my hand kissing it.

"It's fine. And you had some internal bleeding but we patched that up. Which we found something else." He says.

The room gets dead quiet. We all look at the doctor my hands getting sweaty.

"We found cancer on your liver. I am so sorry." He says.

Tears fall down. Cancer?

Cam gets up and walks out Nash following close behind. My hand loosens from Hayes's and I lay my head back.

"I'm so sorry. Another doctor will come in to discuss radiation with you." He says and walks out.

Like I said. Pain. Emotional, Physical, Mental. That's all I feel.

Pain.
