"I'm srry to say but you have lung cancer, and it's spreading quickly, wish we would of caught this earlier."
I sat in the doctors office with my moms hand squeezing mine. I have cancer, I was scared. I'd never thought this would happen to me, but hey what could I do; it's natural, it's life.
"So there's no way of taking the cancer out?"
"no mrs. Rostine, if we would of caught this earlier, we've would had the cancer out."
My mom just sat there weeping next to me.
"So how long"?
"How long what"?
"How long do I have to live"?
"Well since the cancer hasnt spread all the way, so about 6-8
months." once my docter said those words my mom started crying even louder.
I'm sorry isabella. He said to me and stood up left his office so me and mom could be alone.
I leaned over the desk to grab a tissue for my mom. I thought back in my family tree, no one had cancer so how could I have it? I got up and motioned for my mom to get up, she was still crying her eyes out. We left the hospital and went back home. Once I was in my room, I got my computer out and laid it on my bed. It was a school night and I had to a essay on bullying. I couldnt come up with anything. I was never bullied kids at Woodward high was never bullied, so I wouldn't know. I stared at the blank screen when my phone whent off. I checked the caller Id, it was my best friend Jason. I known Jason practically all my life. I know what you guys are saying the best friends always fall in love, well nope I dout that, cause he's gay only found out last year when he and some guys where watching porn,( I know disgusting right) told me when he saw 'female parts' as he likes to put it, he nearly throw up.
Hello
Hey isabella how did the doctors go?
Um...well I found out I have cancer and.... I don't have long to live.
Oh my, I'm coming right over.
But I didn't ask u to come over.
Well your my best friend and cause I love you.
Well I love you too, and it's nearly 8 pm
Ok and I'm coming over and that's final.
With that he hung up. I swear Jason is being a parent who's trying to protect his little girl. I wish I had a father who would protect his little girl. My dad had left me and my mom for some girl who was half his age befor I was born. So maybe having my gay best friend act like a protective father is a good thing.
*********
Ok tell me every word the doctor said. Jason said as he rushed into my room.
What no hello?
Sorry hello, now tell me! He whined. I told Jason everything. He just looked at me with sad eyes. I hated that look, that was the look ppl give when the feeling sorry for you. It was the same look Jason gave me when he found out I didn't know who my father was. I remember him saying 'every one needs a father, esspeshally girls.'
Since it was friday I let Jason sleep over. We talked about guys, make up tips, the ditzy air head females who stalk the halls of Woodward high. Those girls thought the world spun around them. Once our favorite tv show came( bad girls club) we been waiting patiently to see the new episode.
Sadly I couldn't keep my eye lids from closing.
Well... Tell me what u think is good is it bad does it need work. Let me know pls!!
