You Are Worth Saving {COMPLETED ✔️}

Seventy-Seven

Abby

"She should wake up any second now, right?" "She will, don't worry."

I hear all these voices around me, but I don't know whose or where they come from. The only thing I see is black. Just black. Am I still alive? Of course I am. I never died. Did I?

Slowly I start to feel. I feel a pillow underneath my head and a blanket over my body. I feel I lay on a bed. Then I hear more voices. "Does she look different to you?" I hear Jeremy say. "Jeremy, just stay calm. She will be fine," Jenna says. I wish I could smile at him. He is worried about me, a little too worried, but still.

I try to open my eyes. Luckily that is easier than I thought it would be. I first see a bright light, but then I start to see colors and people. I smile when I see everyone is here. I see Jeremy, Jenna, Alaric, Stefan, Elena and Damon.

They all smile at me, but nobody seems genuinely happy. I bet they are just glad I woke up.

Damon stands next to me. I just now feel his hand in mine. I smile at him and see how he smiles back to me. "Hey, how do you feel?" He asks. I take a moment to think about how I feel, to give him the most honest answer, instead of just saying I feel fine.

"I am okay," I tell him, "I feel tired, but I am okay." Damon smiles, "I am glad." I look around the room again. Then I realise doctor Williams is not here, while he promised me he would. "Did anyone see doctor Williams?" I ask.

"He was here a few minutes ago. He told us he would come back in a moment," Jeremy says. I smile and nod as a thank you. "Do you know the results, yet?" I ask. I can't imagine doctor Williams would share them without me, but I feel like I have to ask.

Everyone shakes their heads. "I believe he left to get them," Stefan says. I nod again and sigh. I am in no way ready to hear the results. If Stefan and Damon say there is one thing that can't be cured by vampire blood, there is no way the results say any different.

I squeeze Damon's hand a little. He looks over at me and smiles. "I keep my promise," He tells me. I notice all the confused faces around us, but I just smile at him. "I keep my promise as well," I tell him. Damon leans in and kisses my head. Like I would ever be satisfied by just that.

When he moves away, I put my hand in his neck and pull his face to mine. I press my lips on his and feel how he smiles against my lips. Because we are not alone in the room, we let go and move away.

The door opens and doctor Williams walks in. As soon as he sees me, he smiles. "Welcome back, Abby," he says. He walks over to me, holding a clipboard. "I have the results here already. Before I start, do you want everyone to leave the room?" He asks. I shake my head, "everyone can stay."

Doctor Williams smiles, "Okay." I look at everyone one more time. Jenna holds Alaric, just like Elena holds Stefan. Jeremy stands close to me, not sure what to do and who to hold. So I reach out for him and grab his hand. He looks at me and smiles. I look over to Damon. He still holds my other hand. I see how nervous he is, all though he doesn't want me to see it.

"Let me just tell you right away, Abby. The results are positive. We found hints of cancer in your system," he says. I feel my heart break. Is this really happening? Do I really have Cancer? No, I can't be!

But then I see the serious and concern look in doctor Williams eyes. "I want to ask you to stay here for the next few days. We will try to cure you starting with tomorrow," he looks around in the room, "but I will first give you a moment. I will be back in a moment." He walks out of the room and leaves us alone.

The first minutes, nobody says a word. Everyone seems to process the words doctor Williams just said. I even have to process them myself. How could I have cancer? Why does that happen to me?
