Interrupted.(A Josh Hutcherson Fanfiction)

Chapter 6

Josh's POV
I feel myself slowly starting to wake up but i cant quite find the energy to open my eyes. i hear voices around me but i dont reconize either of them
"poor kid" a girls voice says
"i know hes already so beat up" a male voice says
"and he has got a long road ahead of him" the voices fade out and i think a few more people come in
who was that though? and what did they mean; were they talking about me? I finally wake up a little more, i open my eyes and find myslef looking up at a white celing. ilook around and see im in a tan walled hospital room with moniters hooked up to me and IV in my hand and a cannula in my nose.
"josh your awake!" i hear julia say happily and i look over to my right and see my whole family
"hey" i smile at them all as they come to my bed side
"how do you feel?" mom asks
i shrug "fine, i cant even feel my leg" i chuckle and so does everyone else
"so what did you guys do while i was gone?" i ask them sitting up
"we stayed in here and listen to julia talk to herself like a mad woman about how nervous she was" conner says acting annoyed
"i did not!" julia defends
"yes you did" they all say in unison
i laugh "whatever" she rolls her eyes chuckling
"so have you guys heard anything about how the biopsy went?"
they all stay silent for a moment then dad speaks up "um we did" he sits down next to me "Dr. O'Crysstal said that the CT didnt show the whole tumor"
"what does that mean?" i ask worriedly
"it means the tumor was larger than he thought. they couldnt remove it all"
i take in a shaky breath and look down
"um also, he said when they were in there they found another tumor that didnt show up on the CT"
i look up at him feeling too many emotions to describe. "i dont understand how neither of those things showed up." im so confused everything is just getting worse
"i dont know son. its just what we were told" he says sadly
"do you know when we'll know the biopsy results?" i ask anyone
"um he said he out a rush on them, so he'll tell us by tonight or tomorrow morning"
i just nod "um so im starving"
"oh what do you want ill go get something from the cafateria" julia starts to stand
i gently grap her arm, "no ill come" i sit up and swing my good leg over the bed
"josh, i dont think thats a good idea" mom says worriedly as i take off all the wires conected to me and pull the canula out of my nose
"mom its fine" i say lifting my other leg over the side of the bed "can you had me my crutches Con?"
"josh your mom is right, you probably shouldnt be walking yet, you just came out of surgery"
"guys please" i say just wanting them to stop "i need to do something i cant just sit here waiting to see if i have cancer"
"okay" they say
"thank you" conner hands me my crutches and i stand up on them. "do you have my clothes mom?"
"yah theyre in the bathroom" i go and change then i come out struggling with the stupid IV stand and cruthches
"um Jewels you wanna come and help me?" i chuckle
"ofcourse" she smiles
she grabs my IV stand for me "we'll be back soon"
"alright" mom smiles and we walk out the door
"thanks for being here and helping me" i look over at julia
she looks over at me here blues eyes shinning at me "theres no where else id rather be right now and even if you didnt want me here there's no way ii wouldnt be here cause you cant get rid of me"
i smile "its alright i think ill let you stay around for a little while" i joke
"oh thanks, thats nice of you" she says sarcastically
"what can i say, im a nice guy"
we get to the cafeteria get our food and sit down.
"are you okay?" julia asks as i take a bite of my sandwich
i sigh "im fine. why does everyone keep asking me that? do i look bad?"
she chuckles a little "no you dont, its just, if i were in your place i'd be freaking out. but you seam strangely okay?"
i sigh " I am freaking out" i say honestly "i am so freaking scared, because i am 99% sure that i have cancer, but im not about to be scared in front of my family who still has hope that im fine and this is nothing. if i did that it would be like telling a kid Santa isnt real"
she laughs a little "how do you do that?"
"what?"
"Even though your the one in the hospital with potential cancer you only care about protecting your family and I-I dont know how you do that"
"its easier for me to worry about others than to think about how terrible my own life is"
before she can reply a nurse walks up to us
"im sorry to interrupt Mr. Hutcherson, but i have to bring you back to your room"
"is everything okay?" julia asks nervously
"oh yes, you just need to be monitored for 24 hours after surgery"
i sigh and stand up on my crutches. julia gets our lunch and the nurse takes the IV pole. we get back to the room and i get back in bed. the nurse puts all the monitors back on my chest and puts the canula in my nose then leaves. julia puts our food on the tray on my ped and she sits imbetween my legs.
"why are you back so early,did something happen? are you okay?" my mom asks worriedly
"nothing happened mom, im fine" i reasure her
"alright" she smiles
~*~
i sit on my bed along with conner and julia as we play Rummey.
"Rummey" conner and i yell as julia lays down a card
"that was me!" Con says
"no way dude that wa..." i trail off when i the door opens to reveal Dr. O'Crystal
my parents stand up and Con and julia turn around
"hey, josh how are you feeling?" he comes over to the end of my bed
"good just a little sore"
"good" he smiles but i can tell somethings wrong "so, i have the biopsy results"
julia takes my hand in hers and gives me a comforting smile
"Well," my heart starts to pound against my chest. god i wish he would just spit it out " The biopsy confirmed Osteosarcoma or Bone Cancer stage IIB..
slowly everything around me starts to drown out. i drop julias hand and start to take shaking breats just trying to stay calm. i can hear my mom crying but its faint everything is faint. i have cancer. its the only thought running through my head. im seventeen and i have cancer. im never going to act in another movie again. my fans are going to be heartbroken. my family is going to fall apart. my parents are going to live through everyday worrying that their going to loose their oldest son today. Conner is going to grow up with out an older brother to tell him girl advise about all the dumb girls he'll date and tell everyone theyre the one. and julia oh god julia..no. no im not giving up. i cant. i cant let her loose her best friend. she already grew up without her dad. im going to fight and im going to fight like hell and beat this cancer for julia and my family.
