Only Time Will Tell

Prologue

I didn’t know what was going to happen, all I knew was that something was wrong with me and I needed to know what. I prayed that it was something small, nothing to really worry about. Its almost 4 pm now and I’ve been in this blasted doctors office for about 2 hours already. Doing tests, scans, whatever you can think of. I paced the tiny square room while I impatiently waited for my nurse to come back with the results.

I hated the doctor’s office, hospitals, anything in that category. It held very bad memories for me. I looked around at the room, there were beautiful paintings of the beach hanging, a window that allowed sunlight to shine in the dark, clammy room. There were lovely white roses on the counter for decoration I guess. It all was there to make you comfortable and feel relaxed but just knowing I was in a doctor’s office waiting for results for whatever was wrong with me, didn’t make me feel relaxed.

I sighed and jumped onto the hard little bed that every room in the building has. I leaned my head up against the wall and tugged my fingers through my long auburn hair, nervously. I knew whatever it was, I could handle it. At least that’s what I told myself over and over. All I remember was just picturing the sunny beach, the blue ocean waves crashing on the shore, the warm sand beneath my feet, it all made me feel better. I played that image in my head until a low jingling sound snapped me out of my thoughts.

I quickly cocked my head up to see it was the door knob making the noise. The door slowly creaked open and the short, usually always smiling, nurse slipped in. But only this time, she wasn’t smiling. She wore a frown, her face was paler than usual and her eyes scanned my face. They held pure sadness and an apology in them. This can’t be good.

“Hello Kennedy.” She forced a smile in my direction; her voice was no higher than a whisper.

“Hello. Did you get the results?” I slung my feet off the bed and landed on the floor silently. Even though I would never admit this, I was scared. I dreaded hearing the answer to my question, but I needed to know.

She took a step closer to me and nodded her head. “There really is no easy way to tell you this,” she began, “but we know what has been causing your headaches, blackouts, and balance issues..”

She rambled on for a little using tons of medical terms and phrases that I didn’t understand completely. It was until she finally told me what has been causing everything that I found it hard to speak, move, do anything except stare blankly at her.

“You have Medulloblastomas. A brain tumor, Kennedy.” She sighed, stepping closer and closer until she was close enough to rub my back gently.

A brain tumor. This is it. I stared at the wall. Unable to comprehend anything further than those 4 words I never thought I’d be hearing. I felt numb, but I refused to cry. I just knew I needed to get back to my apartment. I needed to call my parents. I needed them to know what was going on. I didn’t want them, most likely my mom, to freak out over it though. I wanted more than anything just to stay here in sunny LA and continue to live my life. But I knew that wasn’t possible anymore. I would be on the next flight back to London once I told my parents. Which is good, I guess. I would need people to take care of me, because I don’t know if I can do it myself. I quickly hugged the nurse and ran out the room, out of the building into the warm air.

All I said to myself is, this is life changing…life ending..?
