The Cancer Girl

Chapter 12- All About Us

This chapter is the story's that led to all of us ending up in the this hospital. From the day they knew they had cancer to the day they felt at one with the hospital.

Tyler and Mark Twain-

Tyler POV

"I'm sorry to say you have Lung cancer." The doctor was cold when talking to me, her voice ran chills up my back. But her voice wasn't really they thing bothering because all I could think about was my brother.

"What about Mark?" The question kept repeating in my head as I looked past the doctor into a mirror and saw how my eye were, puffy, red and sad.

"We are running some test now," What if he does have cancer? "Are there any questions?"

I knew I had one very obvious question, but I was always afraid to ask things like this, always afraid of the harsh truth but maybe it was time for some harsh truth. Maybe this question would save me from something. "What's the cause?"

I knew the answer before she said it, maybe I had always know it but it still hurt to hear. "Second hand smoke." My parents looked down in shame. They did this to me and my brother, I don't know what's worse, that they cause my cancer or that even when they knew the harm of smoking, they never stopped.

Four days later.

We were called into the hospital and we were led straight to the doctors office.

"Good morning." The doctor said it trying to fill the sad room with happy thoughts but we were far from it.

"Please just say it." Mark said it with tears in his eye. He knew we were twins and he had a high chance of what I had. He wanted the truth and I don't blame him for it.

"I'm sorry to say that both of your sons have lung cancer, our plan is to move them to the best hospital for them. Graceview. They will be together." Together, that word was like an island in the middle of the stormy ocean, safe.

"That's three hours from here!" My father shot up in anger. But I knew that's where our new home was going to be no matter how long my dad shouted at the doctor.

First day at Graceview.

Walking in the hospital is hard and it's like a reminder that this could be the place you die, knowing your leaving the sunshine forever.

We were sent to our room. It was large and clearly made for two. We got use to everything faster than expected but that first day was the beginning of living while dying.

Shortly after we arrived a small bald girl came into my room with a boy. They we nice and crazy and something you wanted to hold on to and something I wanted to keep forever.

And they stayed forever even when my parents didn't even visit. They were the only ones who supported my brother and I. They were close, predicting each others moves knowing, even than I knew they were going to make it out together and some day I believe they will.

Louis Film-

Louis POV

"I'm sorry to say you have Leukemia." The doctor looked into my eyes trying to get a read off of my emotions but I knew what it was, my sister had died from it 5 years. I knew what it did to your body, I watched it happen.

My Aunt and Uncle were silent.They were thinking what I was, I had already lost so much. My Mom and Dad to the car crash and my sister to cancer.

The rest of the doctors appointment was a blurred filled with words I had already heard one to many times. I remember that I'm going to Graceview, it sounded peaceful like a good place to live out my days, 16 hours away and way out of my price range but I didn't get a chance to mention that before I was pushed out the door to the car and all the way home.
