danielle POV.
"I want chemotherapy" I whisper to my parents as we sat at the dinner table. I looked up from my plate as I saw my parents nodding.
"Its your decision baby" I hear my mom say as I nod. I just think about what will happen to my body.
"C-can I maybe get a wig? I just... Don't want the school to know" I say softly to my parents. My father nods.
"Whatever makes you feel good Chiquita" my father says using my nickname.
(means small/tiny in spanish)
"Thank you mom and dad. For everything. I realise that you guys have done so much for me and I love you for that. Thank you" I say cleaning up as we all finished. My dad smiled and gave me a small side hug as my mom followed.
My mom cleaned up the rest as I went to sleep for the day that awaits,
-Next day at School/ lunch time-
I didn't want to go to the tables. I wanted to be with a little bit of people so I sat at a bench on my phone.
I heard footsteps approaching so I looked up and saw Ethan.
"Hey" I said lightly as he say next to me. I felt his large hand rest on my thigh and sigh.
"Danielle.. Please, when you feel comfortable.. To tell me why your feeling this way. Can you let me know?" His voice cracking in the end. I looked up to him.
"I'm fine Ethan" I say smiling. He looks at me his eyes resting at mine. He hasn't been sleeping.
"O-okay" Ethan said sweetly.
||After School||
I saw my mom's car and I have Ethan a small hug.
"Bye eth" I say planting a small kiss on his cheek. I felt his face turn to a large smile on my lips. I gave a small laugh as I went to the car.
"Ready Danielle?" My mom says. I gave her a shaky nod as we drove off.
-skip awkward drive-
"Okay since you have chosen chemotherapy, we decided injection would be best for your condition" My doctor says. I look to the side slightly scared. I hated needles. I will forver hate them now.
"Okay you'll need to stay for only a couple of minutes. Not that long" He said. I nod as they make me lay back into the hospital bed. I sigh as I see them set up.
I hate hospital smell. It smells like a strong alcohol and something else that's unknown to my senses.
"Okay honey, we need to find a vain so would you lift up your sleeve for me please?" I obey and she feels and looks for a sturdy vain.
She wraps a blue rubber strip around my arm. Ending it in a knot. She grabs a alcohol pad and wipes the spot to where I'm getting injected.
"Okay this will sting for a little" She states leaving me to look away as my mom's hand stays in mine.
I feel the large needle stick in my arm as I give a small whimper clenching my mom's hand. I let out a shaky sigh as I see the needle in my skin.
I see the chemo run into my body making me feel kind of tired.
"Just a few minutes" The doctor says. I nod tiredly as my mom wipes her eyes. I give her a weak smile taking her hand in my free one. She smiled as I went to look at the nurse come back in.
"Okay, let me just wrap it up and your free to go" She says smiling. She takes the needle out wiping the excess blood putting a band aid over the slit.
She helps me up since I feel pretty weak. We walk out the hospital the sun blinding me. My mom helps me to the car as I fall asleep the ride home.
Note- HDJWHWJ IM CRYING. I READ UP ON HOW CHEMOTHERAPY WORKS AND THE AFTER EFFECTS.
it saddens me how we have such a cruel sickness apart of our world. Just the thought of cancer hurts me and my aunt who had to go through the pain of this.
