Some How...Callies P.O.V

Chapter four: Bad But Good News

Just as I got comfortable someone knocked on the door. "Callie? Look I understand. Your home while Jude is in the hospital probably hoping you were there. But he's going to be okay. There is nothing wrong with him. As much as we all know. The hospital is there for him to get better not to let him suffer. Okay? No ones going to let him suffer." I turned my head to look at him. I laid on my stomach looking at him.

He walked closer and kneeled down to me. "You can't be silent forever." His sarcasm was starting to make me smile.

"I can if I want to be." He looked into my eyes before moving his head closer to kiss me.

I felt like a rebel at the moment. We are in the house upstairs alone with the family downstairs doing something foster siblings aren't supposed to do. But it didn't matter. I pulled back when Jude came into my mind. "I'm still going to bed." I smiled at him. "Now go. Before someone notices."

When Brandon went downstairs Mariana came into the room. "What happened in here. Oh wait don't tell me. It might be too much information." She smirked.

"Oh. Ahhaha. Very funny. Nothing happened in here." That was a horrible lie.

"I'm not dumb Callie. I know you two were kissing. What was it like?"

"Mariana!! It was nothing. Okay." Just thinking about it made me smirk.

"It was not nothing. Your smiling. But whatever." Her sarcasm though.

My smirk went away when I reminded myself about Jude. I wish I was with him. To comfort him. To make sure he's okay instead of just believing he is through a doctors trust. 'Its only asthma. They have a lot to treat that' I thought to myself, trying to make things positive. But it wasn't working. Why can't I looks at things the positive way? Why can't I make things easier for myself? Grey not I'm being selfish.

Before I knew it, I fell asleep with worry and regret for leaving Jude. When morning came I was miserable. Thumping down the stairs I heard everyone in the kitchen. I can here the pouring of drinks, the sizzle of bacon and footsteps. I walked into the kitchen and sat down. I put my head in my right hand. I felt Stef and Lena look at me. I can feel they felt bad for me. "Hey love! Do you want anything to eat? Some eggs or I can make pancakes?" Stef asked. I just shook my head. "No thanks. I'll eat later." I looked down. I knew everyone was looking at me with sorrow.

"Okay well everyone get ready. We're going to visit Jude." Lena said.

"But mom? Don't we have school?" Mariana confused.

"Yes sweetie. But we're going to see Jude and stay with him until lunch and we'll all go to school after lunch." Lena explained. I didn't know she was aloud to do that.

I ran back upstairs. I dressed myself in my old jeans, and a grey long sleeve shirt and my converse. My old dark almost light blue converse. I ran back downstairs were everyone brought their backpacks into the car and were ready to go. I followed them out the door and we were on our way to see Jude. I wasn't excited, I was just relieved that I didn't have to worry about him for the rest of the day not knowing if he's okay or not.

When we pulled up the hospital, I took a deep breath to calm myself down. We signed in everyone for visitors passes. "Okay loves. Lets all let Callie see Jude first." Stef remarked.

I walked quickly down the hall to room 479. Turning the corner into his room he was sleeping. The tube he had was still on his nose and he still had the IV. And he still looked miserable. Except this time in a more peaceful look. He looked comfortable laying on his side. The more I looked at him, the more he looked peaceful and the more I felt relieved. I walked over to the side of his bed and rubbed his shoulder. Before I knew it, he woke up. "Oh sorry go back to sleep." I felt guilty for waking him.

"It's okay. I was up for a couple of minutes." He lied. He didn't have to lie.

"How you feeling?" When I asked him that he make a small smile and then it faded.

"I'm okay. Still the same. Nothing really changed. But I'm sure I'll feel better soon. Can you help me up I need to use the bathroom?" He started to take his feet off the bed.

I took his left arm and wrapped my arm around his stomach and pulled him on his feet. I held his hand and his IV pole and helped him walk to the bathroom. Everyone walked in while he was doing his business. "How is he?" Mariana asked.

"He's okay. He's umm he's in the bathroom right now so..." I didn't have anything else to say.

I heard the bathroom door open and I helped him back to his bed. Just then the nurse walked into the room. "Hi Jude. How are you feeling?" She was a pretty nurse. Young, maybe in her late 20s. Her voice was sweet and innocent. "Okay well. I have some bad but good news."

We all turned to her. My jaw dropped. I looked at Jude who looked calm. But I can tell, deep down inside he was scared as hell. The nurse took a sheet of clear plastic and put it on a projector that was on the wall. "As you may not be able to see as it's small. There is a tumor perhaps right by his lower lung." I swallowed the breath that I had just choked on. And broke the silence that was left after she spoke.

"So he has cancer." I blurted out.

"Not necessarily. Not all tumors are cancerous. A tumor is just a swelling of a part of the body, generally without inflammation, caused by an abnormal growth of tissue. But it's not cancerous. However, he will be needing surgery to remove because it may grow and become cancerous." She explained everything. But all I heard was 'not cancerous' and 'needs surgery'.

"So I'll be fine after I have surgery?" Jude questioned.

"Of course. You'll be fine. And you'll be asleep so you won't feel anything. And then we'll give you pain medication. Don't worry you'll be fine." She gave us a smile. And I became nervous again.

"Okay well would it be okay if we bring him into surgery with in an hour?" The nurse asked.

"The sooner the better." Stef said.

I walked over to Jude and rubbed his shoulder. I made a fake smile on my face to show that I wasn't worried.
