after the embarrassing moment of Jenna and Sarah knowing what we had done in the show, Tyler and I were whisked away for various tests and chemotherapy that we both completely forgot about.
these things were stuff that were normal now; being poked and prodded by different doctors and nurses were usual. whether it had to do with needles or tubes or stitches or well, anything, we were used to it and reacted to i like it was something we did everyday. because, unfortunately, it was.
i sat in the small examination room as two doctors were on either sides of me; raising my arms and feeling my bones, pressing a hand to my spine or a palm to my ribs, or pressing fingers to various places on my neck to feel for my pulse.
and yes, i do surprisingly have a pulse.
after the doctors has left, Jenna would come in with her clipboard, do a usual examination that she does every other day, tell me how i'm improving before bringing me back to my room.
"you know," Jenna spoke over the squeaking wheelchair wheels, "that you are doing very good lately, the chemo is starting to kick up. you might even be lower in dosages after today."
good news was rare in the cancer ward. atleast good news that came so frequently. but we never really get our hopes up if we hear good news so often. if you get your hopes up, it usually brings upon bad luck; which nobody here needs, am i right?
"well, that's good. progress is good." i looked up at her an grinned.
"you're doing very well Joshua, you've gotten alot better since you started being here." she placed a hand on my shoulder an squeezed it.
i've probably been in here over six months, i can't really remember which is unfortunate. i'll have to ask some other time maybe, or check my texts. because i haven't talked to Brendon since i came into here really, but it isn't that much of an issue anymore.
i have Tyler.
we got back to our room to see Tyler and Sarah in our rooms waiting for us so we could go to our chemo appointment together. i stepped out of the wheelchair and quickly changed into more comfortable clothes, before sitting back down to get wheeled out the door once more.
i could hear Tyler behind me, chatting away with Sarah about how we was excited to see me today. the question popped up from Sarah, "how could you miss him? you see him everyday!." and oh, such a melodious laugh came from Tyler. he answered back so sweetly, "i'm always excited to see Josh, whatever the time is i'm excited. he's my bestfriend of course i'm always looking forward to see him!"
his cheerfulness erupted small giggles and smiles from the visitors in the halls, all showing happiness to a boy who was purely inlove.
we reached the elevator, and like always, Sarah and Jenna placed us side by side. though when i looked over, his ukulele sat on his pudgy thighs. he reached over for my hand, flexing his fingers as he waiting for mine to entwine with his. i reached over as well, placing the palm of my hand ontop of his, locking our fingers together for the few seconds we had before we were pushed out of the elevator. he smiled at me an brought my hand up to his lips, pressing them softly against my skin.
the elevator door opened which unfortunately broke our grip on eachother's hands, but it would quickly resume once we were in our chemo room. we were led in like usual, without help infact, into our comfy seats that were pushed together just for us. there was a tray besides Tyler's seat, a place of cookies and small bottles of water, along with folded blankets and a small laptop.
