Anthony’s POV
“Anthony, I’m sick.” Ian says outside the doorway.
What is Ian talking about? If he’s really sick, why would he just now be telling me? Why would he not have said something sooner? I am so confused. If he’s really that sick, I can’t leave him now, can I? With that, I open up the door, with him and his big blue eyes, saying, “I guess I should explain..” He said.
Ian’s POV
I saw Anthony finally open up the door. His eyes are red from the tears, and his eyes are puffy. Thank goodness he didn’t do anything stupid in there. I look into his big brown eyes, “I guess I should explain..” I say, quietly. He nods slowly, and we both motion towards the couch, as we both plop ourselves down and he is giving me the biggest look of concern.
“I found out.....I found out 2 months ago. It all started when I started getting tired, more often than usual but that, I figured was from filming Smosh. Then, I started losing some weight, which was odd considering I haven’t been trying to lose any. I lost 10 pounds with no explanation. That worried me, but I didn’t want to go to the Doctor yet because, I guess I’m just stubborn like that.” I looked up at Anthony and he looks like he’s about to burst into tears again. This is what I was afraid of. I looked back down and sighed, “Then I noticed swelling and pain on my hip bone. It was off and on at first, but then, it felt like it would never stop. So, I finally went to see the Doctor. I waited to long-I-I could-I coulve maybe-I.” I say, about ready to burst into tears. I don’t think it has ever felt real to me yet until now, what is going on with me. “Ian-I-” I cut Anthony off, “I waited to long to get it checked out! I have cancer! I have chondrosarcoma! It spread to my liver already and the doctors don’t know what to do! I’m going to die and I can’t do this without you so please! Please don’t leave me! I can’t do this without you! Please! Please! I-I-I’m so sorry for just now telling you! I’m just sooo scared! Please don’t go!” I’m sobbing so hard right now, I can’t control it. I haven’t cried over this yet. I didn’t even want to believe this was real yet. I haven’t felt anything over this yet, until now. Until I’ve finally told someone.
Anthony’s POV
My heart is broken right now. I feel shock go all over my body, and heartbreak, and regret. Ian is sobbing into my lap right now. I have to stay strong for him right now. I have to.
“Ian. No, please, calm down. It’s ok, I am NOT leaving you. You got that? I am NOT leaving your side.” I slowly lift his head up as we hug tightly, with him still sobbing, “Please don’t-” I interrupt him, “Don’t even worry about it, I am not leaving you. Never. It’s not going to happen and that should be on the least of your worries right now. You’re going to live, got that? You’re going to fight this Cancer, and you’re going to kick its ass, you can do it. I know you can..” “No-no-n-no I can’t! Please Anthony don’t-t leave me!” “It will get better Ian, I promise, I’m not leaving you.”
