The Other Girl

Chapter 5

The doctor and Liz's mom walked in. The doctor said "I have some news on how your life will be with cancer over the next year or years!" Liz and Cortney looked at each other with a worried look on their faces. " You will have to do 6 rounds of chemo, 3 tests per month, and a weekly check-in at the clinic" He said. Cortney added  "Don't worry, I will be there for you and will take you also!" Liz felt loved and wanted, she didnt get that much since she got bullied at school!! The nurse that handles food came in and had a tray of food. The tray included chicken wings, garlic bread, mashed potatos, banana pudding and a huge glass of apple juice. The doctor left and Cortney's mom showed up. She stopped in to pick up Cort and left. When they got home, Cortney went onto Myspace and told everyone that Liz has cancer. Everyone was commenting " is she ok?" And a ton more. People seemed to care and that shocked her! 2 days later, Cortney went back to the hospital and showed Liz her Myspace, She freaked out!! Liz said " OMFG, HOW COULD THIS BE HAPPENING." They kept scrolling down through about 500 comments. Cortney paused and pointed at one of the comments, it was from Chloe. Chloe was one of the mean girls who Liz spotted before she ran into the bathroom last week. The comment read "Liz, im so very sorry for your diagnoses with cancer, I wish we could start over. Can we? Me and my girls are so very sorry for everything we ever did or said. Hope you get better!!"  A little tear poured down from Liz's  cheek, she said " This world is messed up. We are so rude to others but when something happens to them you feel sorry for them and try to act like nothing happened, but, you cant change the past and the truth is you cant change the future either. People dont change, just their attitude towards you does but that doesnt keep them from being rude and bulling others, does it?" Cortney was shocked, she has never seen Liz speak her feelings, she usually kept to herself and only wrote her feelings into songs. Liz could sing and dreamt of being up on stage and being so huge that Taylor Swift would open for her. But since she was dying there was no chance that would ever happen.
