Chapter 25

She'll Make it Through

[Sunshine's POV]

"You feel okay?" Tori asked me as she rubbed my arm.

They started my first Chemo session just 30 minutes ago and everybody is already up my butt. It's not that serious people….sit down!

"I feel fine Tori." I smiled, but really I don't feel fine. I feel horrible. I feel like all the energy is being sucked out of me, and I've been feeling this way since the day I was brought in. I don't feel like I'm getting any better even after all the meds the doctors have given me, they don't seem to work. I feel like if I tried to get out of this bed, I will fall on my face because that's how weak I'm feeling, but I don't show it. I'm great at hiding pain and weakness. I still sit here with a smile and a laugh that takes everything out of me to do but I do it because I don't want them to worry about me. If I say I don't feel well, or that I feel sick then everyone will be worried and I don't want that.

I hate the thought of someone being worried about me or crying over me. I hate that. I really do. I know everything will be okay, so why make them worry now for no reason? I won't let that happen.

"You sure? You need anything?" She asked with concerned eyes.

I giggled. "Yes I'm positive, and no I'm good."

Today's treatment is supposed to be about two and a half hours and the doctors told me they will keep me here for about four weeks! I don't see why! But okayyyyy.

"Here." Jade said as she walked in the room with a pink and black teddy bear.

"Is this for me?" I said as I reached out and gently took it from her. The bear was medium size with the name Ke'mo sewed onto its stomach.

"It was at the gift shop. It's for kids going through Chemotherapy. I thought you might like it." She shrugged.

I smiled as I hugged the bear. "I love it. Thanks Jade."

She gave a side smile as she pulled Tori up from her seat and sat down letting Tori sit back down in her lap.

"The chair was more comfortable." Tori complained playfully.

"Oh so what are you trying to say? That my legs are boney and uncomfortable?"

"I didn't say that-"

"-Idiot."

"Will you stop calling me that!" Tori yelled as I laughed.

Jade smiled as she leaned up and gave Tori a soft kiss on her lips.

"Aww." Said with my eyes partly open because I was falling asleep.

Tori chuckled. "Get some rest Sunshine, we'll still be here when you wake up."

I rolled my eyes under my closed eye lids. Of course they would be here, they never leave!

"Okay now we add 2 cups of water! You got the water!?"

"Yes!"

"Ok poor it in there Sunshine!"

I laughed as I threw the water on her instead.

She stopped as she looked at herself before she looked back up at me; a small smile creeping onto her face. That's when I took off running.

"Oh you better run!" She yelled as she chased me around the house and back into the kitchen where she caught me. She held onto me with one arm as I screamed and laughed for help. She grabbed the sink dish sprayer and started to spray me with it with the coldest water.

"Mom stop! It's cold!" I scream as I pushed her trying to take it from her.

She ended up spraying up making it rain all over both of us and onto the floor before she turned it off.

"Oh my gosh we are soaked!" She laughed as she stood up pulling me up too but we both fell again because the water made us slip.

She laughed. "Maybe we should crawl out!" She suggested and I agreed.

"Get on my back."

I did as I was told and sat on her back as if she was a horse.

"You're heavy for a 6 year old Sunshine! Lose some pounds!" She teased as she started to crawl out of the kitchen.

We made it to the living room which she then rolled over making me fall off of her and onto the soft carpet.

I laughed. "I love you mommy."

She tapped my nose. "I love you to Sunshine and I always will."

"Sunshineeeee, wake upppp!"

I opened my eyes slowly to a bunch of bright hospital lights.

I heard a huge sigh. "Hey, you feel okay?"

I had a headache out of this world and I was so cold. "Mhm." I stated as I rubbed my eyes. I opened them again to see Evelyn sitting in the same seat Jade & Tori were in before I fell asleep.

"You scared me there. You wouldn't wake up."

I looked over at Evelyn confused. "Where did Tori and Jade go?"

"They went home a little while ago."

"What? What time is it?"

"8:35 pm." She said as she rubbed my arm.

"Whatttt? I just went to sleep like a minute ago. It was only noon."

"You've been sleep since I got here which was about 4. The doctors said you slept through Chemo and everything. Which everything went great by the way." She smiled. "Did you not get any sleep last night?"

"Yes I did. I slept well."

She chuckled. "Well now you are going to be up."

I smiled but I don't think I'll be up. I'm still so sleepy. I really just want to go back to sleep now.

"How's Kulado?" I asked.

"He's fine. Beck brought him and Roxy by earlier, but you were still asleep and we didn't want to wake you up."

"What about mom. Did you ever go look for her?" I asked remembering the dream I had.

She looked down as if my words just cut a knife into her. "Yeah I found her."

"You did!" I said in the most excited voice I could muster but I just didn't have the energy.

"Yes."

"Is she coming?"

She shook her head. "No. But she did tell me something."

"She did, what?" I asked with my eyes closed.

"She told me to tell you that she loves you so much."

I smiled. "She did?"

"Mhm, she did and I love you so much too."

"I love you too Evelyn." I said opening my eyes to look at her. She looked hurt though. She looked scared. I could tell she has been crying and I hope it wasn't over me.

"Why have you been crying?"

She shook her head. "Nothing gets passed you does it?"

I smiled again.

She reached into my hair and pulled out the red flower. "This is moms isn't it?"

I nodded.

She smiled as she placed the flower in my hand. "She'll be home soon Sunshine. Don't worry okay."

I nodded as my eyes closed again. "I just wish mom was here now. I miss her so much..."

"She will be soon okay, don't worry." Evelyn said as her voice cracked. I wanted to sit up and hug her and tell her it's going to be okay, but I just don't have it in me.

"Get some rest okay. I'll stay here with you tonight." She said as she kissed my forehead.

I nodded before I drifted back off to sleep.

[Shiloh's POV]

I sat in my room as I held on tight onto one of Sunshine's stuffed animals. I hate that she's in the hospital. I hate that she is so sick. Me and Bailey went to see her again today, but she slept the entire time we were there and I didn't want to wake her. She looked so sick. She didn't look that bad yesterday. Is that what Chemo does to you?

A single tear fell from my eye.

Why does it have to be her that has to go through this? What has she ever done to anybody? It's always the good ones! You never hear a story about a serial killer getting Leukemia and looking miserable and having to stay in the hospital for fucking ever now do you?

I just want her here. I wish none of this has to happen. I want her to get better as soon as possible so we can forget all this mess ever happened.

I love Sunshine so much. She's everything to me. She's always been there for me, and I've always been there for her, or at least I try. I don't know what I'd to without her in my life. She is my love. She's my life. Without her, I don't have one.

I heard the door open slightly. "Shiloh you sleep?" I heard a whisper through the door, but I couldn't make out if it was Jade or Tori.

"No." I said back.

The door opened more before I heard it close again and within seconds I felt a body on the bed next to me and an arm wrapped around my waist.

"You okay?" This time I made out the voice that belonged to Jade as she sat her chin on my shoulder.

I sighed. "No."

"Is it Sunshine?"

"Naw it's Rainy." I said in a stupid mock voice.

"Hey, watch it." She said as she sat up.

I sighed again as I sat up as well before I leaned against the headboard.

"It'll be okay kiddo." She said as reached over and put some hair behind my ear.

"I know. I'm just worried I guess. Upset that someone like her would have to go through this. You wonder why? You know."

She nodded. "I know. Everything will be okay soon though okay. I don't want you worrying and stressing over this."

I nodded.

"I love you Shiloh."

"I love you too mom."

The mom word must have touched her heart because she gave a heartwarming smile before she reached over and pulled me into a tight warm hug. "You want to come sleep in the room with us?"

I nodded into her hug. I mean since I was the only one in the house besides them, why not?

We both scooted off of my bed and walked hand in hand to her room where Tori was laying down reading a book.

"We have company tonight." Jade stated as she closed the door behind her and let go of my hand.

Tori smiled as she took off her reading glasses. "We do." She pulled back the covers. "Well c'mon." Tori stated with a smile.

I smiled as I ran over to the king sized bed and hopped on top. Tori put her book aside as she scooted further under the covers as Jade climbed in on the other side. She pulled the covers over me and Jade as she put my head on her chest and put her arm around me.

She gave me a kiss on my head. "I love you Shiloh. Everything will be okay."

Jade reached over and turned off the light before she scooted closer to us wrapping her arms around me as well.

I felt like a child again. I haven't slept in the room with my parents since I was younger when I would have a scary dream or it was a loud thunderstorm. They always made me feel safe and I feel safe now. I know everything will be okay. I feel I don't have to worry anymore.

And I won't worry. Sunshine is strong. She'll make it through.

Thanks for reading. Please review! :)
