On The Hunt

Chapter 26

This pain in my heart. So horrible. So fragile. You made me go mute. So now your the cause.
-Teynana McKinney

When I woke up 3 days later to a bright room. Same old beeping monitor in the same spot making the same steady sound. I remember what happened. I blacked out. Jacob cheated and Mason freaked out. This time I woke up to no one in my room.

Just me and my off entertainment monitor. I stared into space. Not daring to touch the nurse button. I wanted to think.

What can I do about this? I trusted him and he betrayed my trust.  But I love him. I love him so much that it hurts. I guess all he did want was sex. What would have happened if I gave that to him? He's such a sweet boy he wasn't really going to leave me was he?

He didn't want sex from me, right? So why, just WHY, did he go and have sex for someone else? I sighed only for aching pain to shot up my throat and my breathing hitched.

I started to pant. I could breath. As I choked my body shot up with it making the pain burn. Tears formed in my eyes as I struggled. I could here my monitor speed up causing it to flood with nurses.

"Okay, Teynana. You need to calm down. Just relax." One said while holding my chest gently as other popped in wires.

I shifted my bloodshot eyes to the nurse and tried it only hurt making me pant harder losing more and more breath. I started to cry. I cant breath. I'm choking. I'm about to die.

" Teynana. Stop. Calm your breaths please. Come on. Hold in your breath then let out slowly." The nurse instructed. I sucked in a breath trying not to choke out to quick.

Slowly I released my breath and it came out nice and smooth.

" Okay. Good. Do a couple more  of those.." Said the nurse.

I tried over and over and it became easier to breath.  Soon my breaths were even and I was calm. The doctor walked in and smiled. The nurses left and he sat down with his clip board.

" Hello Teynana McKinney. I'm. Dr. Nimon. Pleasure to meet you." he smiled brightly with his straight. (A/N Okay so like picture the dude who played on the new  The Amazing Spiderman movie! Oh yess.)

He looks a little young to be a doctor but hey who am I?

"So the first problem is that you cant talk and breathing is hard. That's why your hooked up to several different breathing tubes right now. My conclusion is that during the incident something disturbingly hard slammed into your throat causing it to swell. So now in times of discomfort or  nervousness you get choked up. Getting choked up at this point is very dangerous. Because your throat closes up and you get get air in our out your air ways. So we will give you pills to stop the swelling. If you take them after you eat including snacks you'll be ready to talk and breath in three to four days. Make sure you eat and drink really slow, bits by bits." He said. " Do you want this problem  to be confidential? Blink for yes and sniff for no."

I sniffed making him scribble something down on his clipboard.

" Next is you will have a wheelchair until your arms cast comes of in about 2 weeks or more and then we'll get you on crutches. Wrap your self tightly before bed. After baths and before school when you wake up in the morning. You don't want to get infected. Should this information remain confidential?"

I sniffed and he wrote something on his clipboard again..

"Last and most serious. We have found three tumors near your diaphragm. We have never dealt with this type of cancer and I don't know what it may cause. But you are at stage 2 of cancer right now. Should this reman confidential or no?"

I blinked.

I sat in my wheel chair, my breathing tube helping me breath properly. My wounds all wrapped my body still burning. My temple throbbing. My diaphragm eating me alive.

The door opened and all my friends poured in like water. Mason handed me flowers and kissed my cheek. Everyone was being cautious of me. Giving warm gentle hugs or not touching me at all. I got a big teddy bear from the girls and the bonus gave me individual gifts.

Mason steered my wheelchair going around in circles playing around as we made our way to the car in the  big parking lot.

"So your gonna do what Grover did in Percy Jackson and start whacking people with crutches?" Mason asked and I silently laughed only smiling widely. Mason is still such a stupid stupid boy. Mason brought me to David's car and got in the passenger seat waiting for David to start driving. Jacobs wasn't here. He was where ever he was making me feel hurt. But I'm done crying so I just stared at the window. Happy to be going home. I could began looking for Chrissy now. He's my important objective. I can't and won't be bottled up and pissed right now.

I should be happy. Even though I'm at pain. I'm still gonna do what I do best. I'm gonna stick to myself and ignore any and everything else. I'm going to die for my love ones. I already had an unknown cancer that my doctors don't know how to cure. I'm dying anyway. Who cares?

I'll die. You'll die. We'll all die. I knew that from the beginning.

Only this time I'm not afraid.
