The World Is Crashing Down- Part 13

Emily’s P.O.V

 

          Thoughts were racing through my mind while I was sitting on the couch with Bill. Too many of them in fact. I wasn’t trying to think about the cancer, but it kept popping into my mind. It was taking over my mind and life. I mean, I was about ninety-five percent sure the cancer was gone and the treatment had worked, except for the last time it failed…

 

Flashback

 

Emily’s P.O.V

 

          I was lying in the hospital bed. I was in so much pain from the treatment they gave me. It was basically like my body wanted to give up on me, but I wouldn’t let it. I just stared at the wall and lost tract of everything. It was so silent and peaceful. If only my life was like that. Then the doctor came in and ruined it.

          “I have some bad news Mrs. Abigail.” He said to my mother as he walked in. “The treatment failed to work on Emily. We can try it again to see if it will agree to do the job the second time if you want.” Come on! If it didn’t work the first time, what makes you think it’s going to work the second time? I just looked the other way away from their faces. I starred at the door. I wanted him to leave. If I could feel my legs and be able to walk, I would have kicked him out.

 

Calli’s P.O.V

 

          I walked into the room where Emily was. She was starring at the door. I could see the pain in her pale blue eyes. I knew she wanted it to leave and for her to leave the hospital. I knew, right then and there that the treatment didn’t take effect. I didn’t know what to do. She had the expression on her face, a blank one.

          I walked up to her and moved her dark brown hair from her face. It was getting a little longer. The only good thing about it was that her hair was growing and not falling out anymore. The doctors have been trying to get rid of the little bit that was left in her. It wouldn’t go for anything.

          She finally looked up at me with a small crystal clear tear falling from her eyes. I knew she couldn’t hold it in anymore. I bent down and gave her a hug. I didn’t want to let go of my sister. I could feel her nails going through my shirt. She had a pretty good grip on me. She didn’t want to let me go either. That was all right with me.

 

End Of Flashback

 

          I came back to reality when I heard Bill call my name. “Emily, Emily!”

He said snapping his fingers in my face. “What?” I said in a confused voice looking around. “Oh, yeah. Sorry. I kind of zoned out there for a second.” “A second?” Bill said in a hesitant voice. “It was more like ten minutes.” he said laughing. “Are you ok?” “Yeah, I’m fine.”

          I felt like I was lying to him. It was like he had a feeling I wasn’t telling him something. He probably knew I was. I felt so guilty. How could I tell him? I didn’t want him to feel sorry for me. I also didn’t want him to think I was lying just to get to him.

          “Bill, I have something to say. I-“ I started but then my loud moth mother walked in. “I’m home” she walked into the kitchen and unpacked the food. Great mom. Way to kill a plan!

 

Calli’s P.O.V

 

          I had mixed emotions after Tom and I got dressed. I mean, it was magical, but I just met him. I felt bad because of my sister’s results. So many thoughts at one time. After we got dressed, we went down stairs and I saw that my mother was home. She looked at me with a “you better not have done it” look.

          “Were you and Tom in your room Calli Layne?” my mother said glaring at me. I had to think quickly. “No, no! Not at all! I was showing Tom the house.” She just nodded and went back to putting the food up. I knew she didn’t believe that. I saw from the corner of my eye that Bill and Emily were glaring at Tom and I  coldly like they did earlier. I had a pretty good feeling they knew what went on.
