Chapter 6

Louis and the rest came back and we all just sit and talk, Stiles likes Louis because Louis bought him a Batman teddy from the gift shop, those two are talking about comic books and super heroes and all the other guy stuff and Nan turns to me “So, are you and Louis a thing yet?” she ask “What? No. He is a friend” I say “Hmm, I have a feeling you two would be together soon” she says “Yeah alright then, well see” I say and turn to Louis. He is a great person. How his blue eyes shine in the moon light, his laugh is like the gates of heaven have been open and him, he is pretty cute as well. Stiles and him are laughing and it’s nice to see Stiles smile since he has just been told he has lung cancer, the nurse comes in “So Stiles, we are just going to do some blood tests now, are you scared on needles?” she asks nicely “Nope” he says brave “Great, this is just to numb the area” she puts on a wet wipe and rubs it over his arm, and puts the needle in and he flinches but try to hide it.

The doctors told him what’s going to happen to him and they don’t know if he will make it but I know he can. My Batman has to, he is my hero.

It’s been a week. Stiles has had trouble, he couldn’t breathe about three days in so he has this oxygen can if he needs it in public but he usually stays home and watches his cartoons and eating little. He is always cold though but he isn’t, and he takes a lot of pills. He doesn’t want to do chemo because he says he wants to fight it on his own and we all respect that but I don’t think he knows what’s going to happen to him “Stiles, I’m just saying chemo can help you a lot.” I say and continue “And I need my batman in this world, I need my little brother, I need my best friend” I say crying “Mia, Its okay. I know this sounds stupid but I think I don’t need chemo. I just need my family and that’s it” He says “Stiles! I want you to get better! You don’t understand, I need you!” I shout from anger “Mia! I’m going to die! I may be 10 but I know that I’m going to die, even if I have stupid Chemo!” He says, and my face softens “Stiles, you’re not going to die. We can beat this. I know you can” I say and walk across the wood boards to him, “Stop saying that I can beat this!” He shouts, he is in pain. He gets angry when he is pain. “Stiles, take your medicine” I say putting two pills in my hand and grab his water. I hand him them and he swallows, good.

After Stiles and I talked, he feel asleep again. He is always tired and out of breath. I decide to go to the tree, I haven’t seen Louis since hospital. I walk up the hill I always remember and he isn’t there, I decide to sit on the grass today. I sit down and look at what’s in front of me, then I feel somebody sit behind me and puts there chin on my shoulder, I turn around and its Louis “Hey” I say quietly “Hi” his smile is amazing. We sit there for a while with his arms around my waist and I lean back into him, I know it sounds cliché but it felt really comfy and I feel protected.

I open my eyes and I think I feel asleep on Louis because my hand is on his chest and I’m all cuddled into him, I look at him and he is sleeping as well with him lying on the ground. I decide to get a good look at him. His face is perfect actually, he has this small freckle just under his eye and his hair is all messy with a beanie covering half his head. A gust of wind comes and I start to shiver, Louis then wraps arms around me like he is awake but not, I guess he knows I’m cold. I lay back down and then fall back to sleep again.

I wake up in my bed, what? Was that a dream? I get up and walk to the kitchen and Louis and Nan are talking “Good morning” I say confused “What you doing here?” I say walking to the fridge. “Well, you feel asleep when we were at the tree so I bring you home about an hour ago” he takes a sip of his tea “Oh, thanks” I feel awkward because he had to carry my weight, I hope I wasn’t too heavy. I take out the orange juice and pour it into my cup, “Mia, Stiles is still asleep but I have to go with Pop to the doctors. So can you stay and look after him?” She asks “Yeh sure. Louis can stay if he wants to” I say smiling at him, he winks. His cheeky wink, oh god.
 

Nan and Pop leave and Louis and I are on the couch watching Teen Wolf. It’s up to the bit were Allison dies, and it’s really emotional because Scott is crying and I’m crying and oh god “NO! SHE CANT DIE!” I shout at the TV “Mia, are you crying?” Louis asks laughing “Yes I am. One of my favourite characters just frigen died.” I say about to punch someone. I only just started to watch Teen Wolf and I’ve got like one or two seasons to watch also. Louis decides to poke me and I punched him in the face, wait I just punched him in the face? Whoops? “OW” he shouts “Sorry!” I say getting up, “You actually punched me, hard” he says laughing, “I’m so sorry. Want some ice?” I ask “No thankyou” he says touching his eye, I couldn’t help but laugh, I actually punched him.

 It’s like 12:00pm now and Stiles is still asleep, I should go check on him. I enter his room and he is just lying there, I look at the machine and is working I think, I try and wake Stiles up but he isn’t waking “Stiles?” I ask him “Wake up” I say shacking him a bit, I check his breathing, he isn’t breathing. I start to panic, “LOUIS!” I shout and he bolts in, “Stiles isn’t breathing!” I shout, his face turns sad. I place him on the ground and remember what I learned in school, CPR. I start to do CPR on him, “Stiles c’mon” I say crying, “Come back” I say, I continue to do it for 20 minutes until the ambulance, Louis probably called, “Help me! He sent breathing!” I say, they bring out an oxygen mask and they begin to do everything that can do, and he finally comes around. He coughs and they put him on the stretcher and they bring into the ambulance, I hug Louis, “It’s okay” he says “I thought he was dead Louis, I thought he was dead” I say, “C’mon. Let’s go to the hospital” He says and we follow the ambulance and once they get in we park and follow them. I look at Stiles and he looks like he is in pain and isn’t copping well, is he actually dyeing?

They told Louis and I to stay here while they do some cat scans and some tests and we sit in the same waiting room as before “Mia, If Stiles does die, he dies as a hero not a weak person. He will always be your brother” Louis says, he is so loving “I know Lou. I just don’t want him to leave” I say, “I know Mia, I know” Louis looks also sad, does this remind him of his dad? Louis, I feel he is different. Louis fakes smiles and pretends to be okay but I feel he isn’t okay. I just feel him acting different lately.

After 2 hours a doctor says to us “He just got out of operation and his cancer has bread to 65 percent of his body. I know this is hard but I’m so sorry to say but Stiles only has 4 months max” He says, I drop to the ground and cry, no. No. no. He isn’t going to die. He can’t. I need him. Stupid cancer. Louis comes down to my level and hugs me, he doesn’t say anything though “Louis, I can’t lose him” I say and he nods to the doctor and he walks away, everybody is staring at us but I don’t care.

I cried when I enter his room doors, Louis holds my hand again. I see Stiles waking up when we enter “What...” “Stiles it’s okay. You were at home and you stopped breathing” I say touching his head and pushing his hair out the way, “Turns out the cancer has spread bud” I say tears falling down my checks, “oh..” he says, should I tell him?

“Stiles…” I say starting to cry again “You have 4 months left” I say and burst out crying, Louis comes to Stiles and I. Stiles starts to cry and hug me tightly, Louis looks at Stiles and says “my little Lad. So sorry to hear that” He says rubbing my back, “Louis, I think you are a nice guy and when I’m gone, take care of Mia” Stiles is ten but is smart.

Stiles got discharged a week later and now we are home. Louis had to go home to do some stuff so Stiles and I are watching Transformers, his choice not mine. I look at Stiles and he is so pale and his lips are so dry and he has bags underneath his eyes. He started to cough so I based him the oxygen mask the doctor gave us so if he struggles to breathe he just uses it. We sit there and Stiles drifts of to sleep. As usual.
