The Worst Of Luck

Chapter twenty six

I woke up the the sound of muffled voices around me. Groggily, I stretched and popped out my limbs before the memory of my surroundings sunk in. I opened my eyes to see the sterile hospital room around me. I glanced next to me, only to see Dr. David's talking to Vincent. I know Vincent wanted to be here for his son, but he was the last person I wanted to see right now. My mind ached with the newfound memories and information of the last few days. Aidan and I's entire lives have changed in the past 48 hours. And I wasn't even too sure how he felt of the situation, or if he knew the severity of it. I felt a headache coming on as I thought of all the people who I needed to tell our current situation too. "Ah, Luna, you're up. We're going to need to start Aidan on his first round of chemo today." Dr. David's said, glancing down to Aidan's sleeping form. I frown at the mention of it. My baby, loosing his hair, being nauseous, in pain. I hate this. I hate this so much.

"Okay." Was all I could manage to say. I still don't know how to react, how to feel. "Can I talk to you, Olivia?" Vincent said, glancing over to the exit of the room. I sighed before walking over to the exit with him. "What?" I asked, turning to meet his gaze. "I wanted to apologize, for what happened with Kyla." He mumbled, looking down at the ground. So that's the chicks name. "Look, I accept your apology. And I can forgive you, but I'll never forget. Regardless of how much hope I had in you changing, you proved that you'll forever be the same boy who used me for sex and then rejected me. I'm tired of letting people in only for them to hurt me. And I'm tired of loosing the people I care about. Right now, I don't have the time of day to stress about our relationship, my main priority is Aidan. So Vincent, do whatever you want. Sleep with whoever you want, but my words still stand from that night. We're over for good this time." I said, I was exhausted from having these conversations so continuously. I just need to accept the fact that Vincent and I will never work out. I need to get over him. But most importantly, I need all my focus on Aidan and making sure I spend all my time with him.
I walked away from Vincent's conflicted face and sat down beside Aidan once again. I glanced over only to be relieved that Vincent had left. I couldn't be around him right now. Hot stray tears ran down my cheeks as the pain in my chest only got worse, like a wound being reopened.

"What's wrong, mommy?" Aidan asked, shifting over in his bed. I quickly wiped off the tears and smiled, "Nothing sweetheart,". Aidan closed his eyes again, as I slowly tried to steady my breathing. This isn't the place for me to be breaking down. I have to be stronger if I want Aidan to survive. I just don't understand how someone's life can change so suddenly, a few weeks ago I was rebuilding my life, i was on my way to hopefully finding happiness. But now? Well now all of that is gone, and all that I'm left with is the cold, hard truth of reality.
