"Mel I am here can you hear me?"
I open my eyes and see all white walls. Miles is sitting in a chair beside me. I can already tell that I am in a hospital. The smell of bleach and the bright lights gave that away.
"Miles? What's going on?"
"Mel you passed out again. This time you were out for about half an hour." Miles tells me I can see the concern on his face.
"That doesn't seem possible."
"The doctors are running a lot of tests and your mom will be here shortly."
"Miles it's fine, they are just going to send me home by morning. You should go back to the dance." I attempt to get up but my body is too weak.
"Melanie you don't understand."
"Miles you never call me by my first name. What's going on."
Miles lays me back and grabs my hand. "It's serious they think you might have a brain tumor."
"What you can't be seriously?" A brain tumor. How is this even possible.
Miles doesn't say another word.
"This has to be some sick joke."
"Mel listen to me whatever happens we will get through this together."
"Why don't you go pay Declan than you two can take turns" I snap.
"I deserve that. I am sorry Mel. I made a stupid rational decision and look at where it led us." Miles puts his head down in disbelief. I can tell this has taken just as much of a toll on him if not more.
"Knock knock." The doctor says as he enters the room
"I am Dr Kane. How are you feeling Ms. Fields."
"I feel fine doctor when can I go home?"
"I am sorry ma'am but we will have to wait to go over your results once your parent or guardian arrives."
"I am here! I am Melanie's mother. Please tell me you have figured out what has been going on with my daughter."
"Mrs. Fields please have a seat." The doctor says as he pulls up a chair on the other side of my bed.
"Melanie I want to go over some symptoms with you and I want you to nod if you have any." I nod in agreement.
* Headache - I nod
* Nausea - I nod
* Vomiting - I nod
* Blurred vision - I nod
* Balance problems -I nod
* Personality or behavior changes - I shake my head
* Seizures - I shake my head
* Drowsiness or even coma - I shake and nod at the same time.
"Doctor you practically listed every system Melanie has been struggling with. What is the diagnosis?"
"I hate to inform you that your daughter has the symptoms and her test show signs of Pilocytic astrocytomas."
"What does that mean?" I ask
Dr Kane continues "Pilocytic astrocytomas are tumors that grow slowly in children and young adults. Surgical procedures are the best option on demolishing the tumor with chances of never returning."
"A tumor?" I say in shock.
"I wish we could have caught this earlier. I am not certain how they were not seen until now. I promise that we will take good care of you Ms Fields. We will have to prep you for surgery as soon as possible." The doctor walks out of the room and by the time the door closes I give into my emotions and cry.
Miles cradles me as my mom grabs for my other hand. God I don't care about what Miles did. I don't even care about school or boy problems. I know our relationship has been rocky but please I don't want to die.
After an hour of prepping for surgery the doctor asks for my mom and Miles to exit the room and make their way to the waiting room. Miles storms out saying every curse word in the book which isn't like him. My mom kissed my forehead before leaving the room.
As the nurses were pulling me through the hallways, Miles runs down the hall after us.
"Mel I have to tell you what I wanted to say all night."
"Miles I can't talk right now."
"Please just hear me out."
I nod and Miles continues "Mel no matter what happens I am here for you."
"I know Miles I will be okay." I try to reassure Miles and myself.
"Mel promise me."
"Miles I promise.
Miles grabs my hand and is crying before finishing " Mel I love you."
I was in shock. Miles is confessing his feelings to me and before I could tell him how I feel the nurse had already pulled me into the operating room.
"No wait! I have to tell Miles I love him too. Please wait! I am begging you."
A nurse reaches for my hand as they put the anesthesia on "Don't worry sweetheart you will be awake in a few hours and you can tell him how you feel." and I started to fall into a deep sleep.
