Now on with the story!
2 months later…
"It's ok honey!" Mimi Moon said as she gripped her son's hand. Ally was on the other side of him gripping his other hand. Austin had been in the hospital for two months and so far his cancer had worsened. Right now he was going through some painful chemotherapy. He gasped as the final needle went into his arm. Ally gripped his hand extra tight and stroked his hair. She looked at who used to be her healthy, cheerful boyfriend lying in that hospital bed. He was so pale that he was almost albino and he had deep dark circles under his eyes. He had many coughing fits and he hardly had the energy to even stand. No matter what he looked like, Ally still thought that he was the cutest guy in the world. The nurses finally finished and left the room. Austin slumped back onto his bed, trembling.
"Shh, it's ok. Your ok," Ally said as she stroked his hair. That was the first lie that she ever told him, because Austin Moon was obviously NOT ok.
"Ally, don't feel like you have to lie just to make me *cough* feel better," Austin managed to say. Ally tried hard not to cry. She could hardly stand to watch him suffer.
"Sweetie, we know that something will happen. This cancer WILL leave your body," Mimi told her son. She too was fighting back tears.
"Son, I have faith in you," Mike Moon finally spoke up. He stood up and patted his son's head. After these two months, Ally couldn't recall him shedding a single tear, but she figured that different people dealt with things in different ways.
"Thanks you guys," Austin said as he managed a weak yawn.
"We'll let you sleep," Ally said. Mike and Mimi got up and left, but Ally stayed behind for just a minute longer.
"Hey, Austin, I love you," she whispered. Austin smiled slightly, and with all his strength, took her hand into his own.
"I love you too," he whispered as sleep overcame him. Ally bent down and kissed him gently, as if he were about to break under the slightest pressure.
"Sweet dreams," she said as she looked at Austin one more time before slipping out.
Ally went back into the waiting room to see Mike, Mimi, her dad, Trish, and Dez all waiting. Dez walked over to Ally and was the first to speak.
"So, how is he?" he asked. Ally didn't say anything and just started to cry. Dez pulled her into a comforting hug.
"He looks worse than he ever has before," she said as she sobbed into his shirt.
"Shhh, it's going to be ok Ally. He's my best friend you know, and if there is anything I know about Austin it's that he's tough. He'll fight it out."
"I sure hope so," she said and cried even harder. Mike, Mimi, Lester, and Trish immediately joined in the hug.
"I know that he's sleeping right now, but I really want to go see him again. Just be in the same room as him."
"Sure, we'll all go with you," Trish said. They went into his room and he was still sleeping. Ally thought that he looked so peaceful. This was the one time where he didn't look like he was in any pain, though it looked as if he might break at any moment. Just then, Dr. Saxon walked in.
"Hi Doctor," Ally said.
"Hi, Ally. Now, I am going to need to speak to all of you about something. We just got Austin's latest test results, and I am sorry to say that the cancer has spread to one of his kidneys. The kidney is a vital organ and if he got a kidney transplant, not only could we save him, but his cancer could be gone for good. But there is a problem, all of the kidney donors for O- blood type are taken and Austin's parents have a history of bad kidneys, so they are ineligible to donate."
"So what your saying is," Ally said, afraid of what was going to come out of Dr. Saxon's mouth.
"If we don't find an eligible kidney donor soon, Austin could die." Ally started to cry even more. She looked over at Trish who was holding onto Dez, which was a different sight. No one said anything for a minute until Ally finally spoke up.
"How long does he have?" she simply asked. Dr. Saxon let out a small sigh.
"Five days, a week at the most. It's eating him from the inside, out." Dr. Saxon left as everyone cried.
"A week? But, what about him and I? There was so much that we never got to do together! It's not fair!" she said as her dad hugged her.
"Don't worry, we have a week to find him a donor," Trish said.
"Trish! Look at reality, do you know how hard it is to find someone with his exact blood type that is willing to donate their kidney on such short notice?" Trish knew better than to fight Ally, so she just backed off. Ally obviously needed her alone time, so eventually, everyone left. Ally looked down at Austin who was still sleeping. She reached out to touch his face, when his eyes shot open. This caused her to jump with shock. Austin just looked at her before speaking.
"I knew that this was going to happen," he said. Ally sighed. She knew what he was talking about.
"You heard, didn't you?" He nodded his head slowly.
"It's not a surprise, I knew this was coming."
"Don't talk like that," Ally said.
"Hand me my acoustic guitar. I wrote you a song while I was in here. I wasn't going to sing it to you until a moment like this." She handed him his guitar and with all the strength that he had left in his body, began to strum. It was a miracle that he didn't cough during the song.
Turn away
If you could get me a drink of water
Cause my lips are chapped and faded
Call my Aunt Marie
Help her gather all my things
And bury me in all my favorite colors
My sisters and my brothers, still
I will not kiss you
Cause the hardest part of this
Is leaving you
Now turn away
Cause I'm awful just to see
Cause all my hair's abandoned all my body
Oh, my agony
Know that I will never marry
Baby, I'm just soggy from the chemo
But counting down the days to go
It just ain't living
And I just hope you know
That if you say
Goodbye today
I'd ask you to be true
Cause the hardest part of this
Is leaving you
Cause the hardest part of this
Is leaving you
Austin coughed as he finished the song. Both had tears in their eyes. Ally leaned in to kiss him. They both kissed each other as of their lives depended on it, because it could be their last kiss. They finally broke away and Austin gave Ally a small smile. He was getting tired again and his eyes were starting to droop. Ally leaned him on the bed. When he fell asleep, she set his guitar back against the wall. She stroked his hair, and before leaving, she kissed him on his head.
"Always and forever, never forget that," she whispered into his ear, and then she was gone.
A/N: Well, that was really sad! Don't worry, it will get better. Oh and every time, I hear that song, it makes me cry, so sad! Well, anyway, stay tuned!
Xx, Katherine
