Pieces of the Puzzle
note; hey guys, this is a little one-shot, maybe story possibility. leave me a review so i know if i still have my writing talent(:
As Sonny Munroe looked out her window, her stomach got another churn of pain, and she again ran to the bathroom. It had been the 3rd time today she lost her 'lunch' or whatever you want to call the glass of lemonade and 2 crackers.
Jackie Munroe heard the pounding footsteps from upstairs and she too, also knew that her sister had to throw-up yet again. There was no doubt about it that Sonny was sick, very sick. The Munroes had come to accept this and there was absolutely nothing they could do to change her, a girl set in her own stubborn ways.
Sonny flushed the toilet, brushed her teeth, and grabbed her blackberry as her fingers flew across the keyboard. Tawni was texting her, filling her in on all the latest gossip at Condor Studios. Just because Sonny was sick, doesn't mean she could miss out on her best friend's life.
Tawni Hart was holding back chocolate brown hair, as her friend emptied her stomach's contents for the unbeknownst time today. This charade that Sonny was pulling broke her heart, but it did that to everyone who knew her before she turned into this monster. No matter what, they had promised to be there for each other all the time, and that's why Tawni was sticking around so long.
"I'm sorry." Sonny choked out, wiping her mouth on her shirt's sleeve.
"Don't be sorry honey, apologies are gonna get you nowhere with me. Let's get you some ginger-ale, hmm?" Tawni asked, trying to settle the disturbed stomach.
Sonny simply nodded her head as tears slipped down her face, unhappy with what her life has turned into. Tawni went into her kitchen to pour her the drink and then returned upstairs to tuck her in bed.
"Thank you Tawni." Sonny looked up at her with wet, puffy eyes.
"It's no problem, Sun, no problem at all." And with a warm smile, Tawni closed her door to allow the sick girl some much-needed rest.
Jackie logged into her computer, checking the Condor Studios schedule for her and her sister, Jackie belonging to Mackenzie Falls, and Sonny belonging to So Random!, of course.
The 14-year-old tip-toed into her sister's room, trying not to awake her. The old L.A. home decided to wake up Sonny, because it creaked as soon as Jackie set foot on it. She held her breath as she heard her sister awakening, ready to be screamed at.
"JACKIE! You know I don't sleep well or feel good! What are you doing in here?!" Sonny yelled in frustration at her younger sister.
Before Jackie was given the chance to answer, Sonny's face turned ghost-white and her body shook a few times before stopping.
The blonde haired girl stared in shock at her sister's seizure, because one of those had not happened for a long time. She panicked and called for their mother to come quickly, and used Sonny's blackberry to call 911.
Connie, Jackie, and Tawni were all sitting nervously in the hospital waiting room to hear what the doctors had to say about Sonny's seizures.
"The..Munroe family?" A young, intern looking nurse called into the bustling waiting room.
Suddenly all three girls there for Sonny stood up and quickly followed the intern into a waiting room.
"The doctor needs to speak to the legal guardian, alone please." The nurse eyed Tawni and Jackie, leading them out of the room.
The girls once again were waiting impatiently, worried about the brunette they care about so much.
"I wonder what's wrong with Sonny.." Tawni half-asked, half-stated to Jackie.
Jackie pretended to shrug her shoulders in confusion, as if she didn't know what was happening, but she had a pretty good clue.
When Sonny was allowed to leave the hospital a few days later, she noticed her mom acted like she cared a little bit more, and tried a little bit harder to be kinder to her daughters. She wasn't sure if it was because she had bad news and she was trying to sugar-coat it, or if she was scared for her family.
Sonny climbed the stairs slowly and with help from Jackie, who also tucked her in with her laptop and a little snack. The brunette knew better than to touch the food, but she did however use her laptop to browse the internet and reply to all the 'Get Better Soon' emails sent to her by friends and family.
Jackie contently listened to see if she heard anymore footsteps to the bathroom from where she was sitting, her room right next to Sonny's, but all was quiet. She was concerned about her sister, afraid that whatever was wrong wasn't going to stop until it tore the family apart, starting with her sister.
Tawni called Sonny and they talked for a good half hour about stupid, girl stuff until she asked what was wrong. Sonny inhaled sharply and thought about ways to tell her best friend how sick she really was.
"Tawni..I have brain cancer." Sonny managed to choke out, and the line went dead. Sonny's entire body shook, except not from a seizure this time, from the sobs of almost dead girl.
Don't forget to review, you never know it could turn into a 5-6 chapter story if enough people like it. Chad will eventually come into play if I continue. Thanks guys(:
