Hii! Exciting news, look I actually updated in a decent amount of time. I changed the rating from K+ to T, because of mentions of death. Go ahead & read on(:
Connie Munroe arrived home from work, ten o'clock, the middle-aged mother's usual schedule. But this time, she didn't hear laughing, or fighting, or even puking. No, the noise she heard was much worse. It was silent.
The 3-story, old and Victorian style home creaked with eeriness as no one filled it's lavish rooms stuffed with overpriced furniture. Connie was very concerned, since Jackie and Sonny were always awake at this time, no matter what.
The mother became a detective, and searched the house for clues as to leading where the girls were. Finally, the last room she checked, Jackie's, had some evidence.
Her blankets were thrown about, clothes strewn on the floor. Plastic bags and trashcans were in the room, meaning Sonny had thrown up again. Connie sighed aloud, knowing her daughter would not survive her disease. While lost in her thoughts, she scanned the room one last final time. A single piece of stationary paper taped on the vanity counter brought her attention back.
Dear Mom,
Sonny got sick again, so Tawni came over and drove her to the hospital. We'll be sleeping there for the night.
Jackee
Connie noticed the tear and mascara stains on the paper, also her younger daughter spelled her name wrong. This made her realize the seriousness of the situation, and she immediately headed to the place where she had become too familiar with, the children's hospital.
Sonny Munroe woke up to the sound of footsteps nearby, and in walked her worried mother. The sickly girl had brought age upon her mother, new silver hairs on her scalp, wrinkles carved into her face. She winced, and scratched her head, but was alarmed when she brought her hand back down. There was a piece of her chocolate brown hair, laying in her hand.
Sonny's hair was falling out. She knew that this would eventually happen, but she didn't want to lose all of her hair. Suddenly, the doctors who had become her worst nightmares, appeared in the small, shared hospital room.
"Sonny, we want to do a cat-scan of your brain, to see if the cancer has progressed, or if the radiation has helped." Nurses hooked Sonny up to moveable machines, and wheeled her to the cat-scan room.
Connie, Jackie, and Tawni were all in tow as they made their way to find out whether their daughter, best friend, or sister would live to see the future.
After the 2 hour long test, Sonny was exhausted. Radiation and chemo had made her body weak and vulnerable to infections. She just really wanted to wake up one day and be cancer-free, but everyone knew that day was a dream.
The sympathic nurses wheeled her back into her room, where she noticed a curtain had been put to obviously separate the space for another patient.
"Who else has been put into my room?" Sonny asked curiously, hoping for someone to understand her pain.
"Oh, just a boy receiving dialysis, we can remove him if you'd like." The nurse replied to her, furrowing her tweezed brows.
"No, no I don't want to make any more trouble. I don't have a problem with sharing." The cancer patient offered a weak smile and asked to be left alone to sleep.
Sonny thought of her future, if there was even going to be one, and she also thought of the boy who was also sick. He must have had a disease similar to hers to be getting diaylsis. Many of these thoughts were floating around in Sonny's head as she tried to get some rest.
Sonny slowly opened her eyes, and out of her peripheral vision, saw a blonde haired boy, like the nurse had said, receiving dialysis.
She turned her head to get a better view, and gasped. There sat the obnoxious, cocky, talkative, tall, blonde haired, blue eyed boy named Chad Dylan Cooper.
"Chad..?" Sonny asked the boy in the room.
"Sonny?!" Chad looked at her in complete confusion.
"What are you doing here?" They both questioned at the same time. The pair lightly laughed at first, but then raised their eyebrows at each other, persistant to know the answer.
Chad spoke first, "I have leukemia. My liver is failing, and I need a transplant. So I've been coming here, getting dialysis until they find a match. Why are you here?"
"I have brain cancer and I'm dying." Sonny spoke wincing as she said her fate.
"Sonny, I'm so sor-" Chad was cut off by Sonny opening her mouth once again.
"I don't want you to feel bad for me. I'm sick of sympathy. Your just as bad off as I am Chad." Sonny laid the information out for him.
"Sonny, I've been sick a really long time. I've just become used to coming here every day to get this done." He said, pointing out the needle in his arm.
"I just got diagnosed with this a month ago.." Sonny said and trailed off.
"I am sorry though." Chad offered some sort of a comfort to her, even though nothing would help.
"How does it feel? I could die any minute. What stops the cancer cells from attacking my brain?! Nothing. So as I'm saying this, 10 minutes later I could be dead." She confessed to him, finally having someone to listen to her.
"Don't worry, you'll be okay. The doctors, if they knew you'd be in critical condition in 10 minutes, they'd be here right now." He gave her a genuine smile.
Sonny thought about what Chad said, and immediately started crying.
"Sonny..dont cry..come on." The blonde haired boy moved over in his hospital bed, and patted the spot next to him. "I would come lay with you, but I kinda can't." He said motioning to the machines all around him, pumping his blood.
The brunette looked around, and tip-toed barefoot into Chad's bed. She joined him under the covers and he put the arm that the IV was not in around her, providing safety.
"Why..are you being so nice to me? Before any of this, we hated each other." She looked up at him and questioned.
"Because, Munroe, your actually not that bad." He told her, meaning every word he said. Sonny smiled for once in a long time, and closed her eyes while lying in Chad's strong arms.
I've decided to make this into a multi-chapter story. It's only going to be 5 chapters or so, meaning Chad needed to be introduced now. I wanted to do something different, making both Sonny and Chad sick. Please review!
