the girl that survived

chapter 5

Everyone had to leave the room other than Jessica's mum. The doctor told Jess there was some bad news and good news.

The doctor told her with a straight face.

Jessica you have cancer.
Jessica's face dropped a few moments later tears were rolling down her pale cold face. Her mum held her tight and promised Jess she would be ok.

Jess cried for hours she didn't want to see her friends.

The doctor came back to Jess and her mum,
He said that they might be able to stop the cancer. She needed chemotherapy, the doctor told her that she might lose her hair and that it might not work Jess said she would take chemotherapy to at least try and get better.

Her mum went outside and told her friends
Her friends were happy that she agreed to chemotherapy but they were so worried, they kept asking to see Jess but Jess wouldn't let them in.

Jessica's mum told her friends to go and get some rest they all listened to her even though they didn't want to leave

Jess was told that chemotherapy would start in a week Jess didn't want to loose her her but she didn't want to die, Jess was told to do something she always wanted to do before she had chemotherapy because after chemo she would be very weak, her mum was advised to let her do whatever she wanted to do as long as it was safe.

A few hours had passed, Jess asked her mum if she could have a horseriding  lesson before chemo, her mum said yes of course you can, Jess was exited to do this she had always wanted to horse ride but never been able to or have the time.

The doctor came back with her father, her dad was devastated.

Jess was going to be released from hospital in a few hours since the hospital were letting her go early there was two rules ; no drinking , no smoking. 

She didn't go to school for a while she started losing her hair and she didn't want people to call her the sick girl, she started to regret smoking and drinking but she blamed it on her dad.
Jess got into the shower and washed what was left of her hair chunks were falling out piece by piece Jess was crying her eyes out but didn't want anyone to know she was distraught by this.

Her dad messaged her everyday she ignored him for weeks and he didn't bother going to get house to check on her so she didn't bother with him, Jess told her mum that her hair was falling out quicker than she thought, the only option Jess had was to shave her hair off. She was crying her eyes out saying she would never go to school of she was bald she didn't want anyone else knowing she was sick her mum agreed on buying her a wig that was realistic and like her normal hair so Jess and her mum went out to buy a wig, Jess found this stunning blonde wig but her mum said no and to get a brown wig like her natural hair Jess said that she said she could tell everyone she bleached her hair but her mum refused to buy the wig after looking for an hour they got settled on a wig for one thousand pounds.

She had to go back to school soon so she told everyone that knew about the cancer to not tell anyone.
