Meghan's POV

Joey closed the door to the drivers seat in our rental car and sighed.

"Whats wrong, honey" I asked him, he looked like he was in more pain than me.

"I'm worried about you babe, are you sure you're going to be okay for the operation?"

I laughed, "Well, I am getting a camera shoved up my ass, so I don't know!" This made Joey giggle, I was glad I made him happy. I knew what would make him even more happy, "Wanna get a smoothie?" I smiled.

"Any day!" Joey replied as he started the car.

As we drove, we talked about all the silly things we always talked about. Anime, other youtubers, until Joey said, "OMG girly!! We need to do the boyfriend/girlfriend tag! All I've been posting is my vlogs and pre-recorded gaming videos!"  

I light up inside, reminding myself that I was his girlfriend! Joey Graceffa's boyfriend! "I can't wait!" I said in response and he grinned. We turned around the corner and made our way to the smoothie shop. 

**At the hospital for the operation**

I looked on last time into Joey's eyes before I disappeared into the operation room. "Lie down." The same doctor as before ordered. I had my ugly, blue, hospital dress thing on. Once I was on the bed, the doctor started clipping tubes on to me, he pushed me over so I was on my side. Another person, a nurse I'm guessing, put a mask over my face.

My eyes fluttered as I inhaled the drug. The scenery around me blurred and the voices muffled, my vision went black after almost no time.

I woke up sitting on the branch of a tree. I looked down at the sunlit house with a little backyard. A little girl and boy were playing in that backyard. They looked familiar. I smiled as they ran around, they clumsy little girl tripped as she chased her brother. The little girl had dark brown hair that went down to her shoulders, she was clumsy, and she lived in a little house. She was... me. The brother laughed and helped his sister up... David. Why was I seeing myself as a child? I was tempted to climb down from the tree, but before I could-

"Meghan" Joey sang in my ear, "Wake up, Meghan, it's over" I hoisted myself up with my elbows and slowly came back to reality. I looked around the room and saw the doctor scribbling something down, then looking through cupboards. I then turned to my right and saw Joey smiling at me. I grabbed his face and kissed him. He giggled beneath our kiss. 

The doctor closed a cupboard and turned to us, I broke the kiss and he cleared his throat "You can put your clothes on, Miss.Camarena. Please wait in the waiting room for me to call you to my office for a brief meeting. 

"And again we play the waiting game!" I said under my breath but I knew Joey heard because he tried to hold in a laugh. 

**In the waiting room**

"Miss. Camarena?" the doctor called just as he said he would. Joey grabbed my hand and we walked together. The doc stood by the door and gave me a concerned look as I walked in, I questioned it but kept walking. "Sit down," again with the orders.

He took a deep breath before he spoke again,

"Meghan, you are dying" The words hit me, the word death was not so easy to me anymore. It rolled off his tongue like he said 'dieing' in slow-motion. My ears rang in shock and i didn't bother to look at Joey. He is probably taking it the same way as me. I kept repeating it, death, death, dying, die, dead, death, died. 

I laughed in disbelief, "I'm not dying!" I snorted. Joey and the doctor looked at me questionably, but I kept chuckling. "It's a joke, Joey!"

The doctor sighed again, " No, Meghan, it's not a joke." 

Then it hit me. It hit me like a slap to the face, but it got bigger, like the earth crashed into another planet. "What!?" I chocked half whispered, "how!?"

"Well, you have colon cancer. We can usually save someone who has come to the doctor earlier, but you came too late..." he kept explaining what it was but I didn't want to hear it. I just wanted to live, I wanted a life with Joey, I wanted to marry him, possibly have kids, but that will never happen. 

"How long do I have to live??!!" I screamed, he showed no emotion, he's seen this before. 

"I honestly do not know. I wish I could tell you..." 

I was too shocked to even cry. I wanted to leave, I wanted to do everything left to do in my life. But I wasn't going too, I'm just going to have to accept that.

A/N :OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO do you guys think Meghan is going to die?? I already know what I'm going to do to her but still!!!
