Trixies pov:
"I don't wanna do this again today...I'm too tired..." I pouted clinging onto my bed refusing to get up. I was two months into my chemo therapy and I hated it. After all the tests and medicine and this and that, it leaves me exhausted. I'm too tired to eat or do anything afterwards so they gave me a feeding tube which I find strange and uncomfortable for the first time since I kept fucking sneezing.

"Well Trixie you have to. Do you wanna get better or not?" nurse Ginger snapped at me as I still refused to leave my bed. I liked the other nurses better, like nurse Kim who was starting I become a good friend of mine.

"I can't walk...I'm too weak..." I whined more as she made me sit up.

"Yes you can, cmon now lemme see you stand up, I know you can I saw you do it the other day" I looked at my legs and tried to stand up. The problem was I was telling the truth. All this treatment is making me weak since it's slowing everything down. I genuinely tried to stand but I sat back down shaking my head.

"I-I seriously can't do it..." she sighed angrily and grabbed my arms making me stand up. I shakily tried to gain balance but before I knew it I was being dragged down the hallway.

"Cmon Trixie, you cant fake this to get out of treatment." I tried to hold onto anything to keep my balance, but eventually my legs gave out and I collapsed to the floor.

"Oh my god, seriously?? Trixie your overreacting" Ginger put her hands on both of her hips looking at me disappointedly. I looked up at her sadly as I was about ready to cry.

"Mom! Oh my god what happened?!" Thank the gods for my daughter. Dolly came over and quickly helped me up holding onto me tightly as she glared at ginger.

"So you just let my mom fall to the floor and not even try to help her?! What kinda nurse are you!" She spat at her as she held onto me more. That's my girl right there.

"Your mothers faking it. She's trying I get out of-" before Ginger could continue to speak Dolly cut her off.

"No! She is physically weak and your not helping at all! If she says she can't walk today then she can't! You don't know what it's like to be her right now! She's fighting a horrible disease that's making her sick! She needs helpful people who will make sure that wherever the mutated cells are go away so she can get better! Cause that's your job! I don't need you taking 'care' of my mother anymore! Give me a new nurse!" Ginger looked at her in complete shock before making a face and storming away. I couldn't help but smile.

"Oh my god...I didn't know you had that in you babygirl..." Dolly grabbed a wheelchair and sat me in it before pushing me back to my room. She smiled blushing softly and helped me back onto my bed.

"I couldn't stand there and let her do that to you anymore...you don't deserve I go through that..your already going through so much..I want to make this fight more pleasant..." I laid back and held back tears looking at her. I opened my arms smiling widely and she walked into them and hugged me tight.

"What would I do without you...I'm so glad to be able to call you my daughter...I'm so so glad.." I kissed her cheek over and over again as she giggled. Nurse Kim came in and checked to see if I was ok.

"I heard everything that happened and I got worried, can you try to stand up a bit so I can see how strong you are at the moment?" I nodded as she softly took my hands and I tried to stand up. Again I failed and I sat back down sadly.

"I hate this...I'm just getting weaker and weaker each day..." they both looked at me sadly and dolly hugged my side.

"This is all just part of the process mommy...after this you'll be strong again...I promise..." I smiled a bit and hugged her back as nurse Kim checked me more.

"Well looks like we'll be doing treatment in bed today...and I wouldn't worry about weakness...you'll have good and bad days...you'll be walking again soon" she gave me a reassuring smile as I laid back again.

I'm just glad as long as I have my family and friends by my side, I'm sure I can win this fight.
