Forever in a Day
Chapter 1- The terrible news
CLARE'S POV
I sat there in a very uncomfortable hospital chair and waited for the result's of Eli's MRI. His mother made him get one after he passed out in gym class after running half a mile. There was definitely something wrong here, but we needed to know exactly what it was and I was so terrified that it was going to be horrible. After about an hour the doctor came out, but Eli wasn't with him, he came over to me and Cece
and he began to speak in a low voice. "I'm very sorry to tell you this, but Eli has lung cancer, we will do everything we can to cure it but at this stage we can make an estimate that he only has about 5-8 weeks to live."
ELI'S POV
I was very bored while I just simply sat there and stared at the room, I hated that stupid MRI machine, but I hated it even more that nobody would even tell me what was going on. I don't remember how I got here exactly, all I really remember is running for a really long time in gym and being really tired. Then next thing I know I wake up here in this crowed hospital room in an big white tube, that I knew had to be an MRI machine, cause I mean what else could it be. It was so quiet and I had to lie in there and be perfectly still for like three hours and they made me take off all my jewelry too. Wait a minute here, something came back to me when I rubbed the back of my head and found that there was a little bump, then it all came back to me ,well kinda. Anyway now I remembered I must have passed out in gym class, ok now I'm embarrassed what kind of 11th grader passes out after running in gym, I think ... oh yeah I couldn't breath and I guess I just passed out then... oops, well whatever then how did I get here and why would they take me to the hospital just because I fainted after running. " what the hell, I'm really confused now." I muttered to myself.
CLARE'S POV
"WHAT! NO!" I screamed after I heard then I lowered my voice a little after people started to stare at me. I felt my eyes well up with tears as I asked " E-Eli doesn't h-have t-to stay in the h-hospital d-does
h-he?" I didn't wait for the answer before I started to cry my eyes out, I just couldn't believe this was happening to him, to me. I loved him too much to let him go like that and I was also kind of angry that he knew he was sick and didn't say anything until this happened. The doctor said this stage so he must not be on the first stage cause it would be easier to cure it then, I wondered how long he had been like this and Why he hadn't told me or anyone for that matter.
Eli's Pov
"how much longer is this gonna take." I complained to no one in particular. A female voice answered "Just a few more minutes Eli, Dr. Flask is talking to your mother and Clare." Talking to Clare and my mother, I thought well when do I get to know what's wrong with me I'm the patient here.
