Ryan's Pov
"She has... What?! " I practically yelled.

" she has colon cancer. One of the youngest cases I've ever seen. " The doctor says.

" Fuck. No. You're not serious. " I say shockingly.

" We had to do an MRI to see if she had any internal bleeding... But we found something much worse. " She says.

" What are we going to do? " I ask with tears rolling down my cheeks.

" Well... To make sure that cancer doesn't spread we need to do chemotherapy. " The doctor states.

" Fuck. Fuck. Fuck. Fuck. FUCK. Is she awake? I need to see her. Please. I really do. " I say wiping my tears.

" I'll take him. " The nurse says.

" Alright. "

I was pushed into an elevator. Going up to floor 7. Once we got to the room I mentally prepared myself.

" She's awake... I'll leave you two alone. " The nurse says.

" Thanks for all the help. " I read her name tag. " Haley. "

She nodded and I rolled myself into the room. There was some muffled noise. It sounded like Brendon but I don't really know.

" Dad! Sup bud. " Lilah says giggling a tiny bit.

I felt a twist in my stomach. It wasn't a bad one. I had a feeling Lilah already knew.

" Hi, Ryan! " Brendon shouts from the other side of the curtain.

I opened the curtain. " Hey, sweethearts. "

" Dad, guess what? " Lilah says sitting up in the hospital bed.

" Hm? " I ask, already knowing the answer.

" I have cancer. " Lilah says looking me straight in the eyes.

I look up at the ceiling. " Fuck. "

" Are you trying to cry but your foundation was $48? " Lilah asks laughing softly.

"She's coping. "Brendon's mouths.

" We're going to figure this out. " I say softly.

" I'm not going to have kids. " Lilah says softly.

I look at the bag of blood going into her veins. My heart was shattered into a billion different pieces.

" There's a way. " I say standing up.

She opened her arms and rubbed her eyes. I crawled into the hospital bed and wrapped my arms around her waist.

" I should probably rewrite my will now. " Lilah says softly.

" You're not going to die. " I say poking her side.

"It's possible. " Lilah says softly.

" Why am I so far? " Brendon asks whining.

" They don't like you. " Lilah says giggling.

Brendon and Lilah both had cuts on their face. Brendon had gauze wrapped around his head, he had gotten stitches.

" Yeah, I could see why. " Brendon says giggling.

" I'm going to snatch my own wig. " Lilah says snuggling into my chest.

" What's that one thing that kids with cancer get... Like wishes... " Brendon asks.

Lilah nods. " I want a million dollars. "

" Me too. " I say laughing.

" Are you allowed to wish for that? " Brendon asks.

" Don't think so. I've never seen snow... So that would be cool. " Lilah says softly.

" Where do you wanna go? " I ask.

" Maybe Scotland. But I also just want to hug Awsten Knight. " Lilah says laughing.

" Who the fuck is that? " I ask.

" The most handsome, funny, wholesome, loving, sweet, precious man ever... Next to Brendon. " Lilah says smiling.

" I Googled him," Brendon says showing him my phone.

I gasped. " He looks like a twink! "

" Shut up, he's a cutie. " Lilah says blushing.

" I want the curly haired one. " Brendon says.

" Otto? " Lilah asks.

" That's a strange name... " I say softly.

" Shut up, they're all precious. " Lilah says into my chest.

I play with her curly hair and rest my chin on her head. Lilah smiled softly and looked up at me.

" Ryan, you get the $48,000 I get in my bank account when I turn 18. Brendon, you get all of my weed. " Lilah says.

" You're not going to die! " Brendon basically shouts.

Lilah shrugged. " Ya never know. "

The doctor walked into the room and smiled. " Hello, I'm Dr. Megan Charles. I am one of the doctors for the cancer research floor here. "

" Hi. " Lilah says softly.

" Hello, sweetheart. " Dr. Megan says. "So, Lilah has colon cancer. Which is quite surprising for her age. "

" my body is fucked up. " Lilah says laughing softly.

" So... Chemotherapy is a must to make sure no other cancer spreads to another part of her body. We would like to start her as soon as possible... January 7th if that's okay with you. " Dr. Megan says.

I nod. " Yep. "

" How are you feeling, Lilah. " Dr. Megan asks.

" I-I'm okay... J-Just tried. " Lilah stutters out.

Lilah always stutters when she's scared. I've noticed that it's been happening a lot.

" Well, I'll let you guys get some rest. Press the button if you need anything. " Dr. Megan says grabbing her clipboard.

I kiss her forehead and crawl out of the hospital bed. I walk to Brendon's hospital bed and sit on the edge.

" how are you doing, babe? " I ask rubbing his thigh.

Brendon shrugged. " I'm okay, my head got cut up but it's all fine. "

I wrap my arms around him and kiss his neck. " I'm sorry, baby. "

Soft snores came from Lilah. I laughed softly and snuggled against his chest. Brendon pet my hair and rubbed my back.

" I love you so much. " Brendon mumbles so softly. " And I'm so glad you're okay. "

I smiled. " I love you with my whole soul. "

Brendon whined and kicked the blankets off of him. " these are hot. "

" I'm sorry, love. " I say softly.

" Shhh... Just get some rest. I know your sleepy. " Brendon says kissing my forehead.

I snuggled back into his chest and yawned. I stayed like that until my eyes got tired. I shut them and fell asleep.
