Chapter 13 - One Year...

"Dad?" I said shakily.

"Lori." He said my name so breathy, and his eyebrows furrowed in a worried manner.
The look on my mom's face worried me even more.
Patrick, which is my dad, slowly inched himself towards my monitor-surrounded bed. When he got close enough, I pushed my arms out as far as they could go, and buried my face in Garyn's chest. I felt Patrick tap my arms with his chest and jump back.

"Get the hell out of here, Patrick! No one gave you the okay to come back here. You left, and we're just fine without you." My mom was breathing heavily after her rant, and honestly, I was glad she said what she did.

"I have a bloody right to come and see my daughter after I find out she has cancer." Dad stressed. His face was red and it looked like his veins were about to pop.
Garyn slowly turned me around as much as he could with all the wires attached to myself, and held my shoulders gently as I looked deep in his eyes. I could see the fear in his eyes, but what was worse was that I could see my own fear being reflected.

Garyn slightly shook his head quickly, and I assumed he was trying to assure me, but himself as well. I couldn't stop staring at him. I shook my head as well and pulled his hands down off my shoulders, bunever let go of them. It's like I wasn't able to. You know, the cliche "He's my love, my stabilization," but in this specific dilemma, it's true.

He is, he's here for me, and so is Les, and Adem, and Tyler. And my mom is fighting for the both of us.
I felt Garyn breathe deathly hard, rapidly, and he nestled his head next to mine, and hugged me all crunched up like that, and when I looked up with just my eyes, he was crying. When I saw that the stress hit and hot tears rolled onto his shirt from my eyes.

All of a sudden I heard something really loud as my chest pounded as hard as it could, it was actually very visible. I was startled by my heart monitor standing tall, next to me, went crazy. Everyone in the room stopped and stared at me in shock, like I meant to do it. Garyn wiped my tears and said something, but I couldn't hear him. Quickly a nurse rushed in with what I assumed were some more security guards.
"Sir, you need to leave immediately." Nurse Jackson said, very intimidatingly. I'm not going to lie, I smirked a bit at her being so protective. She was another mom to me.

"One year."
Two words. That's all it took to break me down. What could be worse than having cancer that's killing you quickly? Learning that cancer is killing you faster.

This meeting between Dr. Rork and I, I made private. My mom found out first by herself, then I found out.

I just kind of stood up from my chair and stared at the distinctive stitches of blue and green and red strands, and occasionally the stray thread pulling out of the seam. By then I had zoned out completely and just kind of walked out of the room while Dr. Rork was still talking. Rude, I know. But how and I supposed to react?

I walked back to my room, and waited for Les to climb in the bed with me, and mom, Tyler, Adem, and Garyn to pile into my room with me as well. Mom was the first. Just as I had feared she showered me in hugs and cries but I just sat there, which made her cry even harder.

"Yeah, okay, thank you very much." I heard Garyn say as he slipped into the door with a huge grin on his face.

"Hey." he said to me smiling, and bending down to kiss me on the nose.

"um excuse me Mr. Lovey-Dovey. But I was sitting there." Garyn had scooted into the bed and pushed Les straight out of it. She huffed onto the couch and got on her phone.

Garyn looked at me and smiled a huge goofy grin that I loved.

"We're going out tomorrow."

I mirrored his smile.
