Wil: Morning.
Jason: Hey, morning mate!
Wil: How did you sleep?
Jason: ok I guess.
Wil: Thanks again for staying, what time are you leaving?
Jason: It's no problem. I was thinking about staying around today, Hope's going away for the week so I'll hang out with you. If that's ok?
Wil: Sure but my doctors coming later for this important check up thingy so I don't know what you wanna do?
Jason: I can stay for that, I'll be your social support isn't your mum away on a business trip?
Wil: How did you know that?
Jason: I, umm, I...I...
Wil: She asked you to be here for this didn't she?
Jason: Maybe....
Wil: Thanks anyway....
Jason: Anytime! I'm gonna go tell your nurse to cancel your breakfast you can come with me to eat in the cafeteria!
And that's what they did they went for breakfast they got some fluffy American pancakes with some golden syrup before they headed back to the room and waited for Doctor Hamid to come back.
Jason: So, are you nervous?
Wil: no, I've been having this check up every 6monthe for as long as I can remember, nothing's never wrong.
Then Doctor Hamid arrived.
Doctor Hamid: So Wil how have you been feeling?
Wil: Fine I guess, my lungs are a bit sore and full of liquid this past hour and I feel a bit out of breath but that's normal right.
Doctor Hamid: How did you sleep last night.
Wil: Ok I woke up a phew times but that's also normal!
Doctor Hamid: Ok so I'm gonna do this test quickly then we'll see if you need to take you for a scan, you know the drill! Now are you comfortable doing this in front of your friend?
Wil: yeah he's seen worse!
Doctor Hamid: Ok, just take your top off for me then please.
Wil: (takes his top off) ok.
Doctor Hamid: Your G tube is looking good does it feel ok?
Wil: Yeah I barely feel it.
Doctor Hamid: ok that's good, now can you cough for me as I listen to your heart?
(Wil coughs)
Doctor Hamid: They do sound pretty full, so I think the safer option is to take you in for a scan.
Wil: Ok what ever you think needs to be done...
Doctor Hamid then left and Wil and Jason sat there waiting for someone to come get them to take them to the scan, Barb then came to get Wil and he went to the scan and came back and waited for the results with Jason.
Jason: Have you talked to Stella today?
Wil: We've texted a bit.
Jason: Does she know about this?
Wil: no, and there's nothing to know about so don't say anything she'll only worry and there's no reason to worry either!
Jason: Wil, but what if there's something?
Wil: there won't be!
Wil was obviously worried and Jason could see that in him but didn't say anything as he knew that Wil didn't want to talk about it. They sat there in silent and then about an half an hour later Doctor Hamid came with the results.
Wil: So?
Doctor Hamid: Wil, your lungs are really full and we're afraid that there's something else there like a tumour or something where not sure what and to be able to tell what it is we're going to have to clean your lungs up and then if it is something take it out...
Wil: Are my lungs well enough to even survive the drugs?
Doctor Hamid: I don't know we'll have to see...
Jason: so your taking him into surgery with out knowing if he's strong enough.
Doctor Hamid: Yes it's the safer option, I'll let your mother know Will and we'll come get you in about an hour to prepare and take you into surgery!
And then in that moment Wil's world was turned upside down but he still acted like he was fine in front of Jason.
Jason: You'll be fine man, your a fighter!
Wil: yeah I know, It's not a big deal.
But in fact it was a really big deal, it was actually one of the biggest surgeries he had ever had, he could be in there between 5 and 8 hours! His mum was stuck in New York and couldn't get a flight back home for another 5 days which meant that Jason would be staying with Wil through all of this! But Jason was so worried and couldn't be alone while he was in surgery so he texted to a group chat that Wil wasn't in because he didn't want Wil to know that he was worried!
Jason~ Who can come to the hospital tonight?
Owen~ Why? are we having another movie night?
Jason~ No, Wil's having a really long and dangerous surgery and his mum's stuck in New York I don't want to be alone, I'm so fucking worried and so is he even though he won't admit it!
Owen~ I'll be there.
Katie~ And me!
Abigail~ And so will I!
Owen~ thanks, come as fast as you can, it would be nice for you to see him before he goes!
Time passed and it was now time for Wil to go into surgery but all of his friends arrived as he was being rolled off.
Wil: Barb, stop for a second!
(Barb and the crew stopped rolling him so that he could talk quickly)
Barb: You have 5 minutes!
Wil: What are you guys doing here?
Owen: Jason texted us!
Wil: You didn't have to come...
Abigail: Yeah we did.
Katie: Good luck Wil, I love you always ok!
Wil: Oh my god Stella! I haven't told her, or said good bye just in case!
Katie: I'll run and get here now!
Abigail: You don't have to say good bye, you'll be fine!
Wil: I hope so, I'm not ready to die (wipes the tear from his eye)
(Stella comes running towards them)
Stella: Oh Wil!
Wil: Stella I love you so much!
Stella: And I love you!
(Wil starts crying)
Wil: If I don't make it I'm sorry, I tried doing my treatments properly!
Stella: Don't apologise, and Wil, this isn't the end for us! I will be sitting in that waiting room with all of your friends waiting for you to come out and when your recovered we are going on the best date of our lives. ok!
Wil: Ok!
By now everyone was crying as they watched Wil being taken away to surgery!
