Little Mix Imagines

Cancer - Jesy

You are sat in the doctors office in disbelief. It's strange how one word can ruin your life. Cancer. A word dreaded by all. It slowly destroys you until you can only die. Yes, you had some symptoms, but you never expected it to be cancer. To be specific, you had lung cancer. 2/3 people die within a year of being diagnosed. And if you were unlucky enough to be in the 1/3 that survive, 19/20 die within the next 10 years. What's worse, you have to tell Jesy, your girlfriend. How do you tell the love of your life you're dying?
"I'm so sorry to have to deliver this news. No one wants to be in this position."

"You think!? I've got to tell the love of my life I'm dying, could you do that?"

You end up storming out with tears in your eyes. How? How could you have cancer? You exercise almost everyday. You've never smoked. You were in perfect shape.

You have to pick Jesy up from rehearsals. You know Jesy would suspect something if she saw you in the state you were in, so you went home and washed your face and reapplied some make-up. You rarely wear make-up so you make it as light as possible. When you pick Jesy up, she doesn't suspect anything. You are pretty good at hiding your feelings and acting like you're fine.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A few months have passed and your condition isn't getting better. If anything, it's getting worse. Jesy still doesn't suspect anything. You have been going for treatment every month but Jesy thinks you're going out with friends.

One day, you and Jesy are curled up on the sofa watching movies. Right now, you are watching 'Nativity!'. One of your favorites. Partway through the film, you get up to get snacks. You get a packet of popcorn and put it in the microwave. After the popcorn is ready, you start carrying a bowl full of popcorn to the living room. You get to the door but suddenly you can't breathe. You grab onto the door-frame and drop the bowl. Jesy hears the bowl smash and immediately jumps up and rushes to you. You are on the floor and still unable to breathe when she gets to you. Everything starts to go black and Jesy calls 999. She is panicking. You're still not breathing when the ambulance gets to the house. By this point, Jesy is hyperventilating.

Jade was the closest one of the girls at the time so she got there the fastest. She is trying to calm Jesy down. Trying being the key word. In all honesty, Jade loves you like a sister. She's pretty much as panicked as Jesy, she's just not showing it. She knows that if Jesy saw her panicking, she would immediately assume the worst. Neither could survive without you. None of the girls could, but Jesy and Jade were the closest to you.

They don't know what is happening. You have told no-one about the cancer. You thought it would be best to not let them stress. You thought you would be fine, that you would beat it. So far, it hasn't happened.
