Chapter 4: rounds of chemo.
Bella's POV
After Charlie got over the shock and…..*coughfurycough* he was happy that I had a couple of girlfriends to keep me company.
As we walked to the hospital, I trembled.
Today was going to be my first round of chemo.
I was going to lose all my hair and I was going to become weaker and bruise more easily…not like I didn't bruise before.
I entered the hospital with Rosalie and Alice on either side of me.
I started to hyperventilate. I was only 18!
How could I get leukemia!?
I didn't do anything wrong!
Did God do this to me for a reason?
I shook my head at myself.
There was no reason to angry at God.
He brought me Edward.
But because of me, he left.
I inteernaly groaned. Why couldn't I be enough?
I paused at the door to the chemo room and sighed.
"It's okay Bella." Alice murmured.
I took a shaky breath, "I know. Just taking the last few moments of whatever I have of my old life."
We stood there taking it in.
I took a deep breath and walked in with Alice and Rose by my side.
I was greeted by Dr. Sanders, "hi Bella. So today's your first day of chemo."
"I noticed." I said unenthusiastic.
"Well…Nurse Jen will take care of the rest." He said letting a nurse with chocolate hair and almost green eyes come u to me.
"Hey Bella." She said her voice a soothing murmur.
Can you sit down for a moment?" she said gesturing to a gray plush uncomfortable chair.
I nodded and sat down, "we're just going to check your blood pressure." She said in the same soothing tone,
I just sighed, 'better get used to this.' I told myself.
When she finished, another nurse came in with a needle. "Okay sweetlie, here goes." She injected the needle into my veins.
Then it was over.
I had survived my first round of chemo.
Rosalie and Alice grabbed my arm and tried to rush me out f the room.
But before we could take a step out , the nurse yelled out, "Wait!:
Alice and Rosalie paused, "we have to check how her body takes it." She said.
"And if my body rejects it?" I quipped.
The nurse shrugged, "you die."
I froze.
Who the heck first INVENTED chemo therapy?
I didn't' notice that they moved my frozen body onto the hospital bed until I saw them try to put an IV in my arm.
I shook the nurse's hand away from mine. "We have to see if it got through or not." She said frustrated now.
Then Alice did something I never thought she would do.
She slapped me.
I linked in shock. The nurse took that time to stick the needle into my arm.
"Sorry Bella. It was necessary." she said her chiming voice filled with sorrow.
I just nodded and laid my head on the flat hospital pillow.
This sucked.
Eventually,I fell asleep.
I have to admit that the bed wasn't as comfortable as the one at hom'my dreams were the same.
The best memory I had with Edward….and ym worst.
I woke up screaming, "Bella, go back to sleep." Rose murmured soothingly.
I nodded and fell back into a dreamless sleep.
