The Worst Days

Chapter 6: The Freedom

SCOTT

I came to Chloe's hospital room, with only one thing in mind. I opened the door, and saw Chloe lying there on the bed, playing with her fingers. I stood there for a few minutes, until the beautiful girl noticed me.
"So did you come to give me something or just to talk?" Chloe remarked. I lightly chuckled at that.
"Why, hello to you too!" I reply back chirpily.
"You didn't answer my question!"
"Oh right! Sorry! I came to do both!"
"Huh! I was not expecting that!" She says and laughs lightly.
I pulled out an army guy with an attached parachute.
"Ok, so I know you're trying to make me feel better, but I'm not an eight-year-old boy." She says being dead serious.
"Yes, yes, I know, but this symbolizes freedom," I say.
"I have never heard that before. It really means that?" She asks.
"No not at all, but my little brother gave it to me when I 'graduated' from junior high," I reply.
"Ok, but how am I 'free'?" She ask, using quotes around the word 'free'.
"Becaaaaause, I was talking to one of your doctors and they said you can leave this 8x10 room!"
"What! Really?!"
"No, I was lying," I reply sarcastically.
"Oh really? Cause I know if people are lying or not so HA!" I laugh at her smart comment.
"Hmmm...I didn't know you were the fibbing police..."I trail off.
She gets off the bed, comes over to me, and wraps me in a bear hug. A tight one too. I hug back and say, "So I take it you haven't hugged a lot of people?"
"Oh whatever. So you came with big news, buuuuuut I have bigger!" She brags.
"Oh yeah? Prove it!" I demand.
"Are you ready? Because this is pretty big news to take in all at once?" She asks.
"Ok, so are you going to spill the beans here? I'm on the edge of my seat. COME ON!!!" I whine.
"Yes, yes ok. The doctors did a scan to see if i had cancer and it came up negative, but they are going to do another scan just to make sure, but they said that normally when it comes up negative in the first scan, and normally comes up negative on the second too!"
"Oh my gosh! That's amazing!" I say with a smile. I pull her into another hug and she nuzzles her head in the nook of my neck.
"Thanks for coming," she breathes.
"Of course."
