Chapter 2……a single tear
Gabriella slowly got up her legs shaking with effort but then collapsed back down. she sighed loudly as a single tear rolled down her once beautiful cheek she hated how her life had turned out but that didn't stop her fighting she would make it for her mum she was determined to. That's right Gabriella Montez had cancer, lung cancer to be exact but it didn't matter anyway it was believed to be incurable but she was determined to show them wrong- she would pull through. she put her small hand up to her hair and ran a hand through it smiling that it was still there. That was the only good thing about the cancer she had somehow kept her locks even with chemo.
"Gabi" her mum called her soft voice echoing through the small room. " we have to leave you need your next treatment". Gabi sighed as her mums face come into view her eyes were puffy and cheeks wet. She knew it broke her mothers heart to see her daughter go through what her father had struggled with all those years ago.
When they arrived at the hospital they where greeted by the staff. Everyone of the hospital workers knew of Gabi's condition as it was so rare and they visited so often for the last three weeks. As Gabi walked past one of the nurses whispered to a male nurse " she fights so hard and I hope one day she will win that fight" the male nurse sighed , he was older and had cared for her father. Her father had been a strong man and Gabi was a small young girl to him it looked like she was fighting a losing battle but he knew how determined to beat the cancer she was, not for herself but for her mother. Gabi just kept walking pleased and annoyed with what shed heard. She didn't want pity but was pleased to know that they thought her determined.
"Gabriella montez" the doctors husky voice rang through the room .
Gabi got up slowly, she felt as if everyone's eyes were on her, she sighed loudly, sometimes she felt like she must have a huge sign over the top of her head, look at me , she sighed again and slowly made it up into the room.
Her mother knew how much she dreaded this, after chemo Gabi would have no energy, not be able to keep food down and just plain be a mess. It was hard to deal with but she would take it any day if it meant more time. That was Gabi's one fear time- she was terrified of what she'd miss leaving her mother behind, her friends and more importantly troy. Even though she broke it off she wished with all her heart he could be here with her. Even though it was a selfish thought and it would have put him in more pain by knowing her condition she still could wish right?
Gabi fell asleep straight after chemo and she was glad, her sleep was dreamless and she didn't have to face reality. In her sleep she could just be care free Gabi not Gabi with an incurable cancer having to fight for every week she lived. Once more in that day a single tear creeped out from under her delicate eyelid and rolled down her pale face.
