Scary News

The next morning I watch as Leo walks out the door to go to school, and I find my coloring book to keep me busy till the nurses come with my breakfast. I am even more suprised when my brother Matt, walks into the room.

In shock I ask, "Arent you supposed to be at work?"

He nods and takes a seat in the chair, "I took the day off."

I am little surprised, but it's perfect timing,  for when the doctor walks in to see me. "Morning Ms.Lierz.." He hesistates as he takes his next words very slow, "We took some mri's the other day," I confirm this with a nod,"and we have found a tumor..." 

I am unable to hear him as my whole body freezes and time goes slow and I hear the doctor in the background, "It is on her brain and and pressing against her spinal column, even if it is cancerous or not. It will be fatal to remove, cause one wrong move and we can kill her."

I feel my brother take my hand as I feel tears rushing down my face and I scream. My brother takes me in his arms as I sob into his arms as I sob against his chest. 

A few hours later after learning the risks of during the surgery I agreed to do it tomorrow morning, after writing a long text to my friends sending it to them, I looked up to see it was only nine am. My brother left cause he was to stressed to stay.  Sighing lonely I color with in my book listening to music as I hear a knock on the door.

Looking over I see my friend Quinn with my favorite, Roses with chocolate. "Need some company?" He gives me a smile as I motion him over to sit next to me on the bed.

"Yeah the hospitals are always so lonely," takes the chocolate eating it, as I watch Quinn. Thinking to myself I realize he is kinda nervous I wonder whats going on. "Everything okay? You seem nervous."

He nods and faces me looking me in the eyes, "I got accepted into Juliard. Its an acting school, and I have to move there in a week if I wanna be able to go." I stare at him in shock as he keeps going handing me a letter, "Can you give this to Leo. I don't know if anyone but you knows, but I am gay. I have fallen so hard for Leo, yet I never got to tell him. Can you give him this please?"

I nod still a little in shock. "When are you leaving exactly?"

He looks away, "I wanted to be here for your surgery but I leave tonight," Quinn looks at his watch jumping up, "speaking of which I need to go." 

I tear up hugging him and watches as he runs out the door. 

The rest of the day I just watch as time ticks by, wishing time would go faster.
