Cancer Ain't Gonna Stop Me

❀Chapter Thirteen❀

Chapter Thirteen - Good or Bad news?

Rivera and I have been spending more and more time together. Well– in and out of the hospital, cause she was indeed my doctor.

The more times we spent together– the more I forget I was even sick to begin with, which was obviously a good thing. She has taking my mind off the darker side that's been running in my mind and the only thing that was on my mind was her.

The only other thing that I wasn't quite sure about was, if we were a thing.

Only because neither of us has popped the question and we've been doing things, which I assumed is what couples do.

I wanted to talk to her about it, but then again..I didn't wanna ruin what we have right now;I mean I know we should discuss these type of things, cause it is important and plus I don't wanna be thinking that we're something and we're not.

I also wanted to talk to Joanna about all this, but every since I've been spending more time with Rivera. I actually haven't seen him and the only times that I do is when we have classes together, but since the day of me and Rivera's date. He's been different and it worries me.

“What are you thinking about?” I felt Rivera wrap her arms around me from behind.

We were in the hospital and I was hooked up, getting my dose of chemo.

I didn't know whether if this was the right time to bring it up;I mean when is really the right time?

I sighed deeply “Aren't you scared?” I asked, feeling Rivera tense up a little bit.

“Scared of what?”.

“That your time with me is limited” I felt Rivera take her arms off me.

“I know that isn't true” She made me face her “You need to stop thinking that way” She looked into my eyes with hope and I felt her kiss my forehead.

“I believe you can get through this and beat this thing” She took my hand in hers, kissing the back of it, which made me feel good inside.

“Can I ask you something” It's better to ask now then never. Because I know I can't wait any longer.

“Sure, anything”.

I just sighed before asking the question.

“Are we da-” I was cut off short, hearing the door swing open with Rivera quickly letting go my hand, but when she noticed it was just Jean. She relaxed.

“Guess what?!” Jean exclaimed.

“Calm down woman and spill” Rivera got off the bed, picking up her clipboard and checking the bag, as she wrote something down on her clipboard.

“I overheard Brooke saying that they'll accept Ava into getting her surgery” Jean announced.

“You sure?” Rivera looked happy from the news.

“Mhm” Jean hummed with a nod “I'm sure she'll be talking to you about it” She told Rivera, which when Jean mentioned that– the phone rang.
