Cancer: The Killer Disease
Chapter 1: Surprises
"Ha-Ha!" laughed Cindy.
"What's so funny?" asked an angry Jimmy.
"You and your invention." answered a laughing Cindy.
Jimmy, instead of arguing, simply walks away. He is not in the mood for arguing. In fact, since 9:30 that morning, the only emotion he was feeling was anger and sadness.
Flashback
"Okay, the next presenter will be Jimmy." said Ms. Fowl.
"Oh great!" said Cindy.
"Shut it!" warned Jimmy.
Cindy was a little taken back by Jimmy's edgy tone, so she shut up almost immediately.
"As you can tell, I'm not in a good mood, not that any of you care. I will not bore you. I'm just going to say that I'm going to present you will my new invention. It's a detector of…well, it actually tells you when you're going to die. I can show you if you want." said Jimmy.
With that said, the class burst into laughter. This caused Jimmy's anger to explode.
"Shut up. I'm sick of everyone laughing at me, and mocking me for who I am and what I invent. You mock me, but if I was to disappear or die, you'd…never mind. You don't care, none of you." said Jimmy.
Jimmy then burst into tears.
End of flashback
Jimmy's class has been mocking and laughing at him ever since. Luckily, after a few hours, the school day was over. Jimmy burst from the school, angry tears flowing from his eyes. Suddenly, Jimmy started to wheeze, and he became short of breathe. As sudden as it happened, it stopped. He was not asthmatic, so he didn't understand why he was having respiration problems. Nonetheless, his parents made an appointment to see the doctor, which was going to be today. For you see, Jimmy has become short of breathe on several occasions over the past week. He sees his parents parked, ready to drive him to his doctor's appointment. He silently enters the car and closes the door. The whole time they were diving to the doctor's office, Jimmy and his family was silent. Soon, they were at the doctor's office. Jimmy, after exiting the car, walks into the waiting room of the doctor's office; the office was painted white, had an aquarium, and various catalogs about random things. After an hour of waiting, Jimmy goes into the examination room.
"Hello Jimmy. Can you tell me what's wrong?" asked Dr. Rome.
"Lately I've been having problems breathing after a long run or after extreme emotions and stress." explained Jimmy.
"Well, let's have a look." said Dr. Rome.
After 2 hours of medical examinations and blood work and test, the doctor comes into the room.
"I'm afraid I have some bad news. It seems that after years of second-hand smoking, you have been diagnosed with lung cancer. Worse than that, it seems that you only have 3 days to live after today. I'm sorry." said Dr. Rome.
Dr. Rome leaves the room. He can hear Jimmy crying behind the door.
Poor kid.
Soon the Neutron's left and went home. Jimmy, once he got home, runs to his room, still crying heavily. He closes the door and locks it. He runs onto his bed, where he has another wheezing attack. Once the attack is over, he stops crying. That is when Goddard comes and sits on his bed.
"What's wrong?" asked Goddard, in his new mechanical voice.
"I have lung cancer, and after today, I have three days to live!" said Jimmy, with tears running down his cheeks. "Goddard, options!"
"You can accept your death!" said Goddard.
"Only if I have too!" said Jimmy.
"You could commit suicide!" said Goddard.
"Hell No!" said Jimmy. "Sorry about the language."
"It's alright. You can develop a cure!" said Goddard.
"I don't have the time!" exclaimed Jimmy. "I guess I'll just have to accept my death."
Goddard whines and 'Cuddles' with Jimmy.
"How am I going to tell my classmates?" asked Jimmy, to no one in particular.
"Suddenly, there is a knock on the door. Jimmy unlocks it, but doesn't open it. Instead, he sits back on his bed.
"Come in!" said Jimmy.
The door opens. In the doorway stand Cindy, Libby, Carl, and Sheen.
"What do you want?" asked Jimmy.
"Were sorry about earlier." said the four friends.
"Apologizes accepted. Now leave!" said Jimmy, with authority.
"What's wrong?" asked Cindy.
"I'm emotionally and physically drained. Now please leave. I'll explain tomorrow at school." said Jimmy.
The four friends look at him with concern, but fulfill his request and leave, closing the door behind them. After they left, Jimmy attempted to fall asleep. Tomorrow was going to be a long day, or is it?
