365 (Dream Team)

Chapter 9

Ugh, God, I have such an awful headache right now.

Why did I drink that much last night? No amount of Advil or water could make this go away. I regret all my life decisions.

Thank every God in existence that Clay was the designated driver and he didn't drink anything. Everyone else was pretty drunk, even Darryl. Darryl is the weirdest drunk ever.

After Clay dropped everyone back off at their house, he was really tired so I offered him to stay at my house. He took the offer graciously. He slept on the couch and I got to sleep on my bed.

Once I went out to the living room to see if Clay was awake yet I found a note in his place.

     Hey Gogy. I'll be gone when you wake up. I made you pancakes since your mom still isn't here. Call me when you wake up so I know you didn't die in your sleep or something.

♡ Clay

A heart? What is he playing at? Does the heart mean anything or is it nothing?

I trudge out to the kitchen to find a plate of chocolate chip pancakes on the counter. A sticky note placed next to it with a smiley face on it. I grin and grab some pancakes.

So, you know how in Chapter 4 I said how I wanted total and complete peace and I didn't get that? Well, here's how.

Being a cancer patient, sometimes I experience the feeling of sicknesses of vomiting. Wellllllll, let me tell you something. Feeling sick when you have cancer makes you think you might be dying in that second.

I started feeling like I was going to throw up and I got pretty worried. I remember how my doctor told me this would be normal but this doesn't feel very right.

My breathing gets a bit shaky as I reach for my phone with trembling hands. I pull up my mom's contact and tap the 'Call' button. I pull the phone to my ear and get a little light-headed.

"M-mum? I don't feel so-" I say before everything fades to black.

I wake up in a hospital with a nurse in the room checking on something next to me. I mutter something so indistinct that I don't even know what I'm trying to say. The nurse looks over at me and shouts something that I can't hear.

I very blurry see people rush in the room and come to my sides. I recognize one as my mother but I can't tell who anyone else is. I hear words being spoken but I can't make any of those words out. I fall back into the darkness.

~•~•~•~•~•~•~

After going in and out of conciousness a few times I finally wake up for good. My mum and Clay are always there when I wake up. I've seen Nick, Darryl, and Zak a few times but not everytime.

I feel like I've been here for days now but it's still Sunday afternoon. This day will not end, will it? Wait a second, I still have to go to school tomorrow, don't I?

I hear the room's door open so I look to see who came in. It's Zak.

"Hey, George. Hey, Clay. You guys want anything to eat? Darryl and I are going to the Chick-fil-a since Nick keeps complaining about how hungry he is."

I look over at Clay and he gives Zak my order. Clay and I have been friends for so long that he knows literally everything about me. Well, everything except for the fact that I have liver cancer. I'm sure I'm going to have to tell him the reason I fainted like that though and he knows when I'm lying. Maybe telling them will be a good thing.

(I'm not sure if you guys realize this or not but the way this is written is hinting at something. Just saying to make you guys think a little harder.)
