Protect Me

Diognosis

I wake up to beeping. Ugh. Alarms. Wait...where am- Right, I'm in the infirmary...no....Hospital?

"Hey you" I look to my left and see Harry sitting on a chair next to my bed. He takes my hand.

"What's wrong with me?" I ask

"They're going over tests now. I called your mom. She's on her way."

"Ok" I breathe.

"What happened after we went to the infirmary?" I ask, the pain in my chest is still there, just not as prominent, they must've given me pain killers.

"You blacked out and the nurse called an ambulance."

"Thanks for staying with me." I say, "You should go, um, back to the dorms, get your packing done." I trail off.

"What I said earlier, about you being here and me being there...i take it back, I wouldn't be able to live without knowing you're mine." he says

Those words bring melodies to my ears.

As much melodies you can have when your chest hurts.

"Oh good!" a doctor walks in smiling, "You're awake." Her smile fades.

"Yes.."

"We went over the tests." she sits in the empty seat on the other side of my bed.

Harry squeezes my hand.

"I'm afraid we might've found a price of cancerous tissue in your thyroid.

What.

w.h.a.t.

"Excuse me?" Harry chokes.

"We're sorry. We are going to run more tests, and see if we can 100% confirm our findings. Meanwhile, I'm giving you more pain killer."

"Why is there pain in my chest anyway?" I ask.

"Reactions, everyone is allergic to cancer, it's going to be painful."

"But you haven't confirmed it right?" i choke out.

"Not yet, but we're 90% sure that's what it is."

I have cancer.

Shit.
