Chapter 12

[Charles' POV]

I was awoken early to start the chemotherapy. An IV nurse named Bryan came in. "Hello, Mr. Trippy!" He said brighly. "How are you doing?" He asked. "Excited!" I smiled. "Wow!" I said. He looked confused. "Not many people are excited for chemotherapy." He explained. "Well I'm the minority!" I said. Bryan inserted an IV in my arm. He got an IV bag apparently filled with chemo, and hooked it up to the IV in my arm. "There you go Mr. Trippy, on your way to being cancer free!" He smiled. "This bag will run for twelve hours, and another bag will be started tomorrow." He explained.

Alli was awake now and I was laying on my bed. I had chemo, fluids, and antibiotics running in my IV. I was really tired, I felt like I was going to throw up, and on top of that everything hurt. Literally everything in my body hurt. "Fuck chemo." I said aloud. "Never mind, fuck the side effects." I corrected myself. Chemo was great. It was making me get better. It was just the side effects that sucked. "Why baby, what's wrong?" Alli asked, coming over to my bed. I just shook my head. Alli reached down and hugged me tightly. I began crying into her shoulders. "Why me? Why do I have to have cancer?" I asked, sniffling. "I feel like I've done everything good in life, I've done good for other people, what did I do to deserve this?" I asked even though there wasn't an answer. "Charles you are so strong, anyone else going though this situation wouldn't be able to handle it, but you can and that's why this happened to you. Someone has to have brain cancer and since you are so strong, since you are able to fight this shitty brain slug and win, that's why it was you." Alli whispered in my ear. Yes, that's why. Because I'm strong. Because I can, and other people can't. I nodded and tried to sit up, but that just made the pain worse. I shut my eyes tightly and drew my breath in sharply. "Baby, I can't get you any help unless you tell me what's wrong." She said gently. I reached out my hand for my phone. Alli handed it to me and I unlocked it. I went into notes and typed:

Tired

Nauseous

Pain

I handed the phone to Alli. She sat down next to me. "You're doing great Char." She said. I cracked a smile. "Want to vlog?" She asked. I nodded. I turned the camera on. "Hey guys. Little update. It's the first day of chemo and so far..." I began. "Boo!" Alli said, giving a thumbs down. "He's been feeling pretty crappy, like really tired, nauseous, and just in pain in general." She shut off the camera. I got on my phone and began to read tweets:

@shaytards_ctfxc_and_me @charlestrippy feel better from nerdfighteria! Don't worry cause soon this brain slug will be sorry he ever messed with the awesome Charles Trippy.

DM from @JohnGreen:

Charles, check your email. I sent you the Paper Towns movie trailer. Feel better and DFTBA!

@ilove_ctfxc @charlestrippy we love you! Stay strong and keep kicking cancers ass!

@charles_trippy_family_x_core Feel better and stay strong @charlestrippy! Best wife award goes to @allitrippy!

I smiled. I kept reading tweets until I fell asleep.

[Alli's POV]

I laughed as I saw Charles, laying on the hospital bed in an extremely weird position, with IVs in his right arm and his phone still gripped by his broken wrist arm. I counted the bags, one (chemo), two (fluids), three (antibiotics), four (pain medication). He slept for about 2 hours. Suddenly he sprung up. "Hi baby how was your nap?" I asked him sweetly. He began to say something but began throwing up all over the floor. He finished and sat back up in his bed. "Are you okay?" I asked quietly. "Yeah." He said hoarsely. That day he took a lot of naps and threw up two more times. I felt so bad for him, he shouldn't have to go through all this shit.

[Charles' POV]

A different nurse did my chemo this time. I went back in the room and laid down on the bed. I turned on the TV and got interested in this show called Cosmos. I kept watching it and before I knew it it was lunchtime! I had a hamburger for lunch. I was on my laptop, watching the Paper Towns movie trailer when I began feeling nauseous again. I quickly put my laptop to the side and rushed to the bathroom. I felt Alli's hands on my shoulders as I heaved up my hamburger. I finished and sat down on the floor. "I'm sorry you have to go through this shit, Char." Alli said, hugging me. "Thanks Al." I replied. Without her I wouldn't know what to do. She is the best wife ever. "I love you so much Alli, and baby Trippy too." I smiled, placing my hand on her small bump. She placed her hand over mine. "THIS WOULD BE SUCH A GOOD INSTAGRAM PHOTO!" I blurted. She laughed. We took a picture of us, with my hand on her stomach and her hand on top of it. I put the caption as "The Trippy Family (the human part of the family)"
