The Hard Truth - Part 23

The silence was thick. But so wonderful. Nothing was wrong in that moment. I wasn't in pain, and Jordan was resting besides me. But as we watched I remembered something.

"You're still to tell me the long term side effects, you know?" I said after a while the tv still playing softly in the background.

He tensed up, obviously not wanting to tell me anything. He sighed after a minute and replied, "Yeah, you will be phoned at some point to go and talk about any future risk with a doctor and your parents but... You aren't really going to be able to do any activity that puts a lot of strain on you lungs for the rest of your life. Your health will improve, but only so much."

I let out a broken sigh and continued watching. After a bit his grip on me tightened and I turned to be nuzzling into his chest. I whimpered into his thin frame, the sound becoming muffled.

It wasn't the bad news that made me do this though. Sure it would mean I'd not be doing P.E. anymore but I would live through that.

For the first time in my life, I was truly missing my parents.
