Petals

It's been a few days since my diagnosis of Hanahaki Disease, I haven't really told anyone else about it yet because saying that you have a disease where flower petals will actually kill you isn't really the best topic to bring up. I fear I might need to tell them today because as the doctor predicted I started to grow flowers on my face, I tried ripping them off but it felt like I was ripping off a piece of my own skin it hurt so bad. In fact the flowers weren't just growing on my face, they were growing on my neck, back, and even a little on my chest. I really wanted to skip work today but I knew that wasn't really an option. I decided to call in late so my friends aren't too worried about me. While I was home I was trying to figure out how to get these petals off my skin without it hurting so much, after hours of me tugging on the petals (I didn't rip any of them off because it hurt so much) I decided that there is no way I can hide this and I just went to work. As I was walking to the firehouse I saw people look at me funny and I even heard one child say "Mommy, why is there flowers growing on her face?". I was so embarrassed that I covered my face with my hood and finally I got to the firehouse. "Hi Holtz- HOLY SHIT WHY ARE THERE FLOWERS ON YOUR FACE!?" Abby said as I walked in. "The doctor said I have a disease called Hanahaki Disease, it makes flowers grow on my skin and lungs" I explained. Everyone was shocked, "That sounds awful, are you gonna live?" Patty asked me. I paused, I didn't want to tell them about my crush because Erin will be embarrassed and the others would make a big deal about it, "Uh, I can get the flowers surgically removed but it's a bit more complicated...but if I don't get cured from this soon, then I'll probably suffocate". "Holtz, you don't have to come to work if you're suffering from a fatal disease. Also you probably should get the surgery if it means you'll live" Abby said to me as she was tearing up. "Abby I'll be fine and if I get the surgery I could die from that too" I tried to comfort her. Erin then left the room while covering her mouth, I went to go follow her. She went into the bathroom and closed the door behind her, "Erin...I promise I'll be fine, it's just petals" I said to her. "So you have Hanahaki Disease? the disease where you regurgitate flowers because the person you love might not love you back." Erin responded. I was shocked "How do know-". Then Erin opened the door and I realized there were flowers growing on her neck. "I have it too." Erin replied.
