It was now four-thirty and I'm being wheeled down to the lab for testing. My body was shaking all over, and I'm extremely nervous. The door was opened by a friendly nurse. "Hi sweetie. All we're going to do is take a sample of your blood and urine. Then we're going to scan your lungs and other parts of your body." she smiled. I nodded. "Okay, drink all of this water please." she said and handed me a huge bottle of water. I was actually very thirsty so I chugged the water down. "Now I'm going to draw blood, and you'll have to urinate in this cup for me." she shrugged. I sighed as she got a needle ready. Needles don't affect me anymore. She sat down beside me. "Okay, please stay very still. Do something to occupy yourself." she said as she cleaned my skin. I bit down on my lip and hurried to get on Twitter. I scrolled through my feed until I felt something prick my skin. She hurried to draw the blood and I wanted to cry so bad. "Okay, please go to the bathroom. I'll give this sample to the doctor." she said and hurried out of the room. I walked to the bathroom. This is so weird... peeing in a cup? I quickly peed in the cup then left the room. I handed the sample to the nurse and she walked away to give it to the doctor. Now I have to be scanned with some cancer scaner. I laid on the table thingy and two nurses walked in. They set up the machines adn started doing weird things to my body. "Oh my god." one whispered under her breath. They started screenshotting the scans and hurried to report them. "We will have your results back in tomorrow, darling. For now you can go back to your room." the original nurse told me. I wheeled myself down the hall, and decided to give myself a tour. I rolled down the cancer treatment hall. Two little girls were playing in a play room. I wanted so badly to rush up to them and hug them. They looked so delicate and happy. The lights above me in the hall started flashing red. "Emergency!" a nurse ran through with a very sick looking boy on a bed. They rushed him into a room. Of course I was curoius so I rolled myself to the room window. They began an immediate surgery on the boy, but he didn't look like he was going to make it. "He isn't going to make it!" a nurse screamed. They hurried around the boy, but it was no use. The heart monitor next to him started beeping like crazy, then stopped. Tears were forming in the corners of my eyes as I watched the nurses craddled his hands. "He's gone." the doctor said. I couldn't look anymore. How could I be so selfish to try to kill myself, when these little kids are fighting so hard for their lives? I feel so stupid and selfish now. "This happens everyday." I noticed the nurse that drew my blood was standing behind me. I jumped a little. "Last week, a child was in a coma from a horrible accident and the mother took him off the life support. He had been in one for nearly 8 months. But the family was low on money." she said. "That's horrible." I whispered. "Yeah... just be greatful for the life you have, at least you aren't living like them." she told me and turned away. The nurse seemed a little mean about that. More like saying, "you have a great life, stop acting like a selfish brat when these children can't do anything about their decaying bodies." I wiped a few tears away and kept rolling down the hall. A girl, about my age was walking in the hall with a cute boy clung to her side. The girl was bald, obviously from cancer, and she had long slashes across her chest and top of her head. The two sat on two chairs in a waiting area. I watched as his eyes filled with tears as she told him a story. "I have to go baby, please be strong tonight." the boy said to her. he kissed her gently on the cheek then left. The girl sat there for a few more minutes, staring at the floor. I decided to wheel myself over to her. "Hi." I smiled. "Hello." she waved at me. "are you a new patient?" she asked. "I am.. but not for cancer. Just inguries." I whispered. "Oh..." she trailed off. "I'm Courtney." I held my head out. "Natalie." she replied and took my hand. "do you want me to walk you back to your room?" I asked. "uh sure." she mumbled. I wheeled down the hall next to her, she told me about her boyfriend, how she was diagnosed with Brain Cancer three years ago, and now only has about four more weeks to live. I told her about how I might have lung cancer, blah blah blah. "Well Natalie, from now on I promise to be your friend and stand by you." I told her after she explained to me about how she has no friends. I waved bye to her as she went into her room. Once I got back to my room I was greeted by my mom, Taylor, Nash, Carter, Matt, Cameron, Jack J, Jack G, and Hayes. We were only missing Shawn and Aaron. "We were so worried about you! Your testing ended two hours ago! Where have you been?" my mom asked embracing me in a tight hug. "I was in the cancer hall..." I answered. "Do not go in that hall! You shouldn't be down there. For two hours Courtney? really?" she said. "I watched a little boy pass away... and I have a new friend, who only has four weeks to live. Stop worrying about me. I did good while I was away, and I learned a few things mom." I told her. "you watched someone die!? " she excalimed. "Mom! That's not the point. I made a girl feel good.. and yes I watched the cutest little boy fight for his life and die.. right in front of my eyes. I'm done feeling sorry for myself." I said shaking my head. Everyone looked at me weridly as I broke down crying. I felt so bad for trying to kill myself... those little kids would love to have my life. "Courtney.. what's wrong?" Taylor asked. "me... these cancer patients. I feel so bad... trying to take my life when they're fighting for theirs. I'm such a selfish person." I sobbed. I felt  so awkward. "guys.. I'm sorry, but I want to spend the night alone... well I don't want anybody here right now." I whispered. "Do you want me to stay with you?" my mom asked. I shook my head. "well baby, I guess if you really don't want us here, we'll go." she told me. I nodded slowly. They all proceeded to give me  slow hugs and walk out. Nash stood there lastly staring at me. "I'm not leaving you.. .I feel like something bad's going to happen." he told me. "nothing is go-" I was cut off by three nurses rushing in. They pulled my bed out of the room. "WHAT'S GOING ON?" I screamed at the nurse. "You're being rushed to immediate surgery Miss. Caniff. We found you have a brain tumor and cancer is spreading to throughout your body. you also have a lung disease." she told me. I gripped onto the railing of the bed. They pulled me into a surgery room and I felt hot tears spilling down my cheeks. I reached for someone. Nash. "Nash! Nash!" I yelled. He wasn't by me. "where's Nash?" I asked. "He's coming, calm down honey!" the nurse said. Nash turned the corner and I quickly reacehd for his hand. He grabbed it and wrappe his large ones around mine. "Please call Taylor..." i said. While he was on the phone the nurses drugged me, and I passed out, but I had Nash's warm hands gripped tightly but softly around mine. 

So some have asked me about my character Wyatt, he WILL be in the story again. I'm hoping next chapter or the next. Obviously Courtney is diagnosed with cancer, but not lung cancer. She has brain cancer, well a tumor, but lung disease. I honestly know nothing about cancers and diseases so if it doesn't make sense, I'm sorry. Lmao. Natalie will be a very important character, so make sure you pay attention to her small parts right now. But she will play a major role and her life impacts Courtney A LOT. Just thought I'd clear up the chapter for yah. Update Wednesday!
