Chapter Two
"Hello, Is this Isabella Swan speaking?" a woman's voice said over the phone. I switched the phone to my other ear and set down my laptop.
"Yes, this is she," I said into the phone. There was the sound of typing followed by, "This is Dr. Clark's office calling. We were wondering if you could come in sometime this afternoon," she said in a quick voice. I though for a second about my schedule and then gave a quick, "yes". (I am having it so the Cullens' left Bella during the summer)
I threw on some clothes and made my way to my truck. I yawned as I started the truck and began driving. The truck roared to life, engine clunking. I walked into the waiting room and noticed a woman holding onto a rather pale child. I child coughed a really wet cough and then fell asleep. I sat down beside the woman and she said, "he has Pneumonia. We already saw the doctor, we are just waiting for our ride".
I nodded and gave a small child to the boy. He looked no older then four.
Just a man stepped in and waved to the woman, Dr. Clark came and called me into the office.
"Hello, Bella. How are you today?" he asked closing the door.
"Oh, I am fine. It's summer. I have been hanging around La Push," I said.
"Okay, well, we have the results of your tests and from what I am seeing here, your white blood cell count is significantly low. That can either mean anemia or Leukemia. That is based on your blood test. Because of the bone marrow exam we have narrowed out Anemia and confirmed that you have Acute Leukemia".
He started going on about how we need to act quickly and begin with chemotherapy as soon as possible. He went on about how I would have to go into the hospital once and week over night for chemotherapy and then once and a while as an out-patient.
As he spoke, I didn't hear a word he said, I was still in shock over hearing the word Leukemia.
"T-there must be some sort of mistake. That's cancer..." I stammered. The doctor shook his head. "I am so sorry. But it isn't a mistake. I want you to go to the hospital for your first round of chemo on Wednesday afternoon, okay," he said. All I could do was nod. I was in shock. I couldn't do anything.
I staggered out of the office. I called the first person I knew would help me.
"Jacob, I need you. Can you come get me?" I cried into the phone. He was like my brother and right now I needed him.
"Okay, where are you?" he said quietly, not asking questions.
Next chapter will be longer, I swear! Tell what you think.
I have decided who Bella will fall in love with, hint, it's not Jacob.
