Luminary h.s

Chapter 9

“I will leave you to rest, call me if anything happens, Okay?” those were Harry's last words before he grabbed my phone, typing something and getting out of the room, leaving me to the coldness and the darkness of the hospital room.

I wanted to stop him but I didn't want to make him to think I'm clingy, so i just let him leave. I’m gonna have to call Joey and apologize, all he wanted to do is visit and he got out with a black eye and a bloody nose. Talking about Harry's mother was wrong, but Harry's reaction is way worse.

His reaction made me very curious to know what happened with his mother to make him so sensitive over people talking about her.

I lied on my bed, this headache wasn't going to let me sleep, it was the worst. I decided to call Karen from the beside phone, i dialed 225 and i was in line with the nurses’ office. 

"Can I speak to Karen please?" I said politely into the phone

"Sure" seconds later Karen's Voice filled the small speaker of the telephone.

"Is everything alright Ana, honey?"

"Yeah, well no. I have a headache, I took the pain killers.." I paused, glanced at the clock then continued, "one hour ago, it is still hurting. and I can't sleep.” i explained.

"I'm gonna come right now" she said, and true to her words she entered the room minutes after, with doctor Peter behind her.

"Explain to me how do you feel Ana, physically?" he asked and I repeated what I told Karen on the phone, he nodded and stepped closer.

He did the normal check-ups any doctor would do to any sick person, check your temperature, check your blood pressure and so on.

He scribbled something on a paper and handed it to Karen, she took it and read what it said before nodding and exiting the room.

"Is everything alright doctor?" I was afraid of the answer, really afraid.

"Well, I'm assuming your cancer is spreading even more," he said before continuing, “but, I can't make sure for a couple of days"

I opened my mouth to speak but closed it again, wanting him to explain further without speaking, "Karen's gonna give you pills, they're gonna help decrease the pain, and you'll be able to sleep. You are going to take two pills a day, and it's gonna last for a week, when you're done with it, we're gonna do an ex-ray on your head and we'll see. I do sincerely apologize if that's not what you were hoping was going to happen, and you should know that we are trying our best"

“Thank you, doctor” my words made him smile apologetically before exiting the room.

Why did I have to have cancer? couldn't it be anyone else in the world? why did my cancer have to spread? why didn't I have a caring family? why didn't I have anyone to care about me? why wasn't my family rich?

why wasn't my family rich..? wait a second.

If i was certain of something, is that I come from a rich family, not necessarily the richest on the planet, but we had some money. I remember having my mother's number saved to my phone, i never actually tried calling her, she didn’t care. One call only, i said to myself as i pressed the green button on my phone. It started ringing, if she doesn't answer, I'm never gonna call her again.

"Hello" an unfamiliar voice talked through the phone.

“Diane? Diane Black?” I asked politely.

"Yes, may I ask who's calling?"

"I'm Ana, your daughter" my heart was beating in my ear, I was nervous. I hadn't talked to my mother for so long, Three years, that's when we had the family gathering, and I hadn't spoken to her since, I was left alone by my own mother.

"Oh hi Ana, is there any reason why you're calling?is aunt Jackie okay? are you okay?" she asked, seeming slightly bored.

"Aunt Jackie Got arrested?" I asked unsure, aunt Jackie told me that she called my mother the day she was arrested, and explained everything to her and she decided to leave me alone.

"What? when did that happen? where are you? why didn't you call me? are you okay? why did she get arrested?" she fired all kinds of question at me, seeming more interested, I imagine that if she was sitting she'd be standing now.

"You don't know?" I asked knowing the answer.

"Know about what? is there anything else your dad and I aren’t aware of?"

"I have cancer?" a loud gasp left her mouth and I was equally as surprised, aunt Jackie told me that she informed her.

“What? how did I not know? you're still In London right?" her tear stained voice talked though the phone.

“yes I'm in London. Aunt Jackie said that she told you, i can’t believe you don’t know about that" my eyes started tearing up, why didn’t aunt Jackie tell my mother, i thought she cared about me.

”She never called, i assumed you were okay. I knew I should've taken you with me, please tell me that you received the money your father and I sent"

"What money?"

"I sent you money every month"

"I didn't receive anything, the only money we lived on was from Aunt Jackie's job" I explained.

"I still can't believe that my daughter has cancer,” she sobbed.

"Your dad and I are coming to London as soon as possible, I'm never leaving you again" she said and we exchanged tearful goodbyes before hanging up.

That was the last thing I ever expected to happen; aunt Jackie betrayed me and my mother in the worst way possible, I don't like her anymore, in fact, I hate her.

I was glad that I'm meeting up with my parents once again, she didn't tell me when she's coming, but I was hoping it would be by tomorrow or the day after.

Karen peeked her head through the door, eyeing me before entering the dimly lit room.

"I heard you talking on the phone, who was it?" she asked in concern, taking one pill out and placing it in my hand. I placed the pill on my tongue and chased it down with water, feeling it refresh my dry throat.

"It was my mother"

“Really? what did you talk about?”

"I called her to tell her that I needed money for my operation and she didn't even know that I had cancer, can you believe that!" I sat on my knees on top of the bed, I purposely avoided talking about aunt Jackie's arresting issue, because no one knows about it, except Harry.

He seemed to get that information out of me with ease, he was scary enough to do it.

"Are you okay? do you need to talk about it?" she asked worriedly, I had forgotten she was here, thinking about the toxic boy.

"No thank you. she's coming soon, I'm so excited." I almost jumped from excitement, but I didn't.

“It's lovely to see you happy" she smiled warmly, i was about to reply when her badge dinged, signalling she was needed somewhere.

The pill started to relax my aching head, maybe today is the day that my luck turns upside down.

I just couldn't help but hope for the best.
