Sirens (Cheryl fanfic)

Chapter 28

Max's P.O.V.

I'm here at the hospital by myself. Its been three week ls and many happened. Mam started with the X Factor auditions and mum has been supportive. Actually, she's leacing in two weeks cause her short vacation is over and we're gonna miss her so bad.

And me, My attacks got worse and I'm having headaches more often now. Nobody knows about that. Not mam or mum. Not anyone else.

Actually, I just sneak out of the house to go here taking the advantage that mam and mum are at an auditon in Glasglow.

I need to know what's going on with me. What's happening to my body that's why three days a go I was scheduled for check up and today, I'll find out the results and I'm really nervous.

"Ms. Davis, I have the results and I'm sorry to tell you. Its bad news." He said softly as he looked at his clipboard. I swallowed the lump forming in my throat and sniff as I felt emotions taking over.

"J-Just tell me straight away." I whispered and he sighed.

"I'm sorry to tell you that your heart is very very weak and there's no chance in fixing it...Ms. Davis, you're dying." I sat there trying to take it all in.

I'm dying

Everything the doctor said after that has been muffled in my ears. I don't know what to think or even what to do.

"H-how much longer?" I said but it came out as a whisper.

"In your case, maybe four to seven months. It really depends." I stood up and stormed out of the room running out of the hospital. I just want to get out of there.

I put on my hood and slow down my pace as his words echoe in my ears like a broken record playing over and over again. The only difference is the words aren't making me feel good, They're killing me.

------------------------------------------------------

Finally, I got home and luckily mam and mum aren't here yet and as soon as I collapse in bed, my tears fell instantly and suddenly I can't stop.

What will I do, will I tell them. It'll just bring sadness in their lives. I think I'm just gonna keep this to myself and just let them find out all about it themselves. I know I might be selfish in some other way but I just want them to not worry about me just for a time and not treat me like I'm fragile glass that if they touch will break.

Suddenly, my breathing got heavier so I reached to my back pocket and took the inhaler and took it trying to get my breathing into a normal pace.

The world is so cruel. I just met my mam and got a long pretty well after sixteen years. And now, in a short matter of time, I'll be taken away. I wish God didn't made a way for me to  meet mam. I wish he just didn't let it happen. Maybe it'll be easier for me to go. Cause I'm having a really hard time coping with my situation right now or let alone accepting it. It's just against my will to leave.

------------------------------------------------------

I sat here on the sofa at the front room staring at nothing with the TV blaring. Its already half past nine and I'm waiting for mam and mum. I want to be with them in every second of the day. Cause at this moment, time is at the top priority for me.

Suddenly, I heard the front door close snapping me out of my stare. I composed myself as I walk towards the door to see mam and mum talking. I immediately cut their conversation by hugging them both squeezing them like its the last hug I'm giving to them.

"Well, its so good to go home to this." Mum whispered making me look up as I try my best to keep fresh tears in and a lump form in my throat.

"Babe, can you let us in yea. We bought pizza and we can't eat it here can we?" I pulled away and sniff making them look at me.

"Are you okay? Do you have a cold?" Mum asked as she sat by the sofa pulling me into her lap while mam went to the kitchen. I shook my head and just burried my face on the crook of her neck swallowing.

"Are you tired? How was your day by the way, Did something happen?" I shook my head. She held the sides of my head lifting it up so she can look at me properly.

"You don't look okay, Do you feel something?"

"Feel what?" We turn to see mam with plates in her hands so I immediately stood up from mum's lap and rush to mam taking the plates from her and I placed it on the table.

"Okay, let's eat." Mam said as she sat beside mam on the sofa. I sat on the couch and stared the both of them taking note of their beauty. I don't know why but I'm acting different now. It's like everyday is the last day for me. I don't know when will it happen and I'm really scared that I haven't be able to show them I love them.

"Maxene, what are you doing sitting there. Come here and eat you-"

"I love you guys so much." Its the first words I've ever said to them since they walked in the front door. They exchanged looks before mam placed her plate down the table and gestured me to sit on her lap. I immediately stood up and sat on her lap.

"Are you alright?" Mam asked. I gave them a fake smile and nodded. I planted a kiss on their cheeks and slide off mam's lap and in between them. I leaned on to mum's side and played with mam's hand.

"Now eat you need food in you." I obeyed mam and took the pizza off my plate eating it.

I had to make most of my time with my family until I still have them cause maybe soon I'd be leaving cause this world isn't for me.
