"when do you have to be at the hospital?" was the only thing I was able to get out of my mouth.
"as fast as I could, but I'm pretty sure mom called to tell them that I can't make it today." Suddenly I felt wetness against my chest, Clare had turned around and had put her face on my chest.
Helen walked in Clare's room at the very same moment that I was thinking about calling her in here.
she sat next to Clare on her bed and placed her hand on her daughter's cheek.
"honey, I think we should still see that doctor today."
" I think you're mom's right. The faster they diagnose you, the faster you can be cured, the faster you can get home again." maybe I formulated my sentence a little wrong but I knew they both got the picture. Clare took a deep breath and lift up her face, her eyes met mine.
"only if you come as well." She said.
"I'm never leaving your side even if you're screaming that I need to leave.
I'll always be right there with you." She wiped her tears away with her sleeve and got up, then she turned to her mom.
"did they tell you I needed to pack anything?"
"well, they're definitely going to keep you overnight just for observation so just your PJs and fresh pair of underwear." Helen said, the desperate look on her face changed, to what I don't know.
More like softened. She was probably happy that her daughter had finally given in to be treated.
"I'm going downstairs to call the hospital, tell them we're coming." Her face changed again, to scared. She gave Clare a kiss on her auburn curls and went downstairs.
I also got up and pulled her in for a hug again, "it's going to be okay, babe, it's going to be okay."
She let go of me and I placed my lips on hers. It lasted for a couple of seconds, then I reminded her about the hospital. She opened her closet and threw in the first things she came across, then ran to the bathroom for some hygienically stuff and threw it in the bag too.
Lastly, she took her teddy bears and placed them in the bag too. " for good luck" she said as she zipped it up, lifted it from her bed and threw it over her shoulder. "I'm ready to go for an adventure." Clare half smiled.
"I know you are, we're going to make this through." I turned off her lights and closed her door.
We met Jake in the hallway who was also going with us to the hospital. When he saw his sister, I'm leaving out the step because the last few months they have really adapted to the brother-sister relation, he ran to her and hugged her as tight as he could until Glen yelled that it was time to go.
Clare, Jake and I took our seats in the back and I put my hand around her shoulders.
She rested her head on my chest and gave Jake a smile. Fatigue must have kicked in because she closed her eyes after a couple seconds when we got into the car. But she didn't get much time to catch some sleep because we got to the hospital sooner than expected. The Princess Margaret Hospital came into sight and Glen parked his car in the underground parking lot.
When the car came to a stop, all of us became very quiet. The radio wasn't playing anymore, no background noises, nothing.
Helen and Glen went to the hospital desk to sign up Clare. A nurse came to take Clare to the examination room, she instructed us to go wait in the waiting room .
Time passed by slowly, I played with the plastic cup in my hands. Those 3 cups of coffee did me no good. I looked around the waiting room to see Jake completely out like a light.
Helen and Glen were also starting to doze out.
My Clare was somewhere in these rooms and I couldn't go in to be with her.
