Zach POV
I watch in terror as my girlfriend is surrounded by doctors and nurses, one of them being my mom. Avia's parents rush in and soon surround her too. I'm ushered out of the room and go to the only place I know to go. My mind is completely numb as I make my way to the gameroom, guided by memory. I don't even notice the tears that fall from my face until I feel someone lace their fingers with mine. I look over to see Emmi. She's in her wheelchair as she rolls next to me at the same pace I walk.
"She'll be okay. I have faith in her. There's no way she's going to leave us...." Emmi trails off. Her hand is freezing cold and I see that she's wearing a black tee with a big red and yellow 'Oh Well' on the front. Jeggings cover her legs and her prosthetic and converse cover her feet, making it hard to tell she's even wearing a prosthetic. She's wearing a red and black beanie over a blonde braided hairstyle.
"How can you be so calm?" I choke out in a sob. "Your sister is like, dying."
"I know she won't die because even though she's mad at me right now, she'd never go without saying goodbye." She looks so certain and confident, happy even. I stare at her and notice how her jaw is clenched and the knuckles on the hand I'm not holding are white as she grips to her chair. I crouch down in front of her and her smile gets wider but it doesn't reach her eyes. She sucks in a breath through her teeth and I give her a hug as she let's sobs wrack through her, shaking choppy sobs as tears soak my shirt. I don't mid though and I'm crying too. "She can't leave me. I need her. I need to tell her I'm sorry. I'm so so sorry for what I said. She might never know that. I hate myself for what I did. I hate it! I hate the cancer and the hospital and the chemo and the seizures and the bullies and the the the pity and I hate it all I I just want to be normal just want to have a normal life. I want a normal family. I want normal bones! I want a normal Avia with normal cells and normal blood. I hate everything about cancer and everything that comes with it. I hate hate hate it!" She cries harder until she can't speak and is decimated to sobbing and uneven breaths.
"Your sister is strong. She'll push through and beat it. Everything will be okay. You said so yourself. Nothing bad's going to happen. "
"You know what?" I look at her face. "I bet a million people in this hospital who are about to die just said the same fucking thing!" she spits the words, tears still falling as she rolls away, leaving me a mess on the floor.
