Girl Meets World (Season 8) Chapter 6:Girl Meets Sinking In Part III, a girl meets world fanfic

Previously on Girl Meets World…

"The cancer has spread to his lungs. I'm afraid there is nothing more we can do."

"He has, at most, a few days."

"How are you doing?" Riley asked.

"With what?" Farkle asked. "The fact that my son is dying and there isn't anything I can do, but pray? Or the fact that my wife won't even let me hold her and hasn't talked to me since we got the news?!"

"You can't take him. Not yet. He's not ready. I'm not ready."

Now we continue Girl Meets World…

Katy's POV

I walked into Luke's hospital room. It was one in the morning. KC was sitting there, watching him sleep.

"KC, you should go home and get some sleep," I said.

"I don't need to, mom," she said.

"Yes, you do," I said.

"I'm not leaving him."

"Farkle said you haven't talked to him since you found out." She just sat there looking at Luke. "Why haven't you talked to him?"

"I can't," she said.

"He's hurting too, KC," I said.

"I know, but it's different," she said.

"How is it different?"

"He didn't carry him for nine months," she said. "He wasn't his saving grace."

"What do you mean?"

"I'll try to sleep in the chair," she said. "Can you please go, mom? I'm sorry, I just can't talk right now."

"Anything you want me to tell your husband?"

"That I love him, and I'm sorry." I left, hoping that she meant that she would sleep.

KC's POV

I only was able to sleep for a couple of hours from 6 to 8. When I opened my eyes, Aaron was staring at me.

"Are you okay, mommy?"

I had no idea what to say to him. Mom walked in.

"Hi, grandma," Aaron greeted her.

"Hey, sweetie," mom said. "KC, can I talk to you out in the hall?"

I knew she wasn't going to take no for an answer. I followed her out of the room, keeping my eyes on Aaron.

"What do you want to talk about?" I asked her.

"Did you sleep?"

"A little," I said. "I couldn't sleep much."

"I think you need to get some air, you've been with him since you were told the news," mom said.

"I don't need air, mom," I said. "I need to stay by his side."

"No, you are driving yourself crazy, Katy Carmela," she said. "You need to talk to your husband and get out of this hospital."

"It's too hard right now, mom. I don't know what to say," I said. "And if I leave this hospital, and Lucas Aaron dies, I will not be able to live with myself. I will lose my mind."

"You said last night that he was your saving grace," mom said. "What did you mean by that?"

"When Jaxon died, Aaron was all I had," I said. "He gave me purpose. He kept me steady. If I didn't have him when Jaxon died, God knows what I would have done. If I didn't have a purpose, what would be the point?"

"KC—" she said.

"And don't try to tell me you wouldn't be the same way as I am right now if Maya or I died or were this close to it because I know you would be," I said. "At least with Maya."

"What do you mean by at least with Maya?"

"Let's face it, mom, our relationship isn't the same as your and Maya's," I told her. "You had her for her entire life. You just got me back a few years ago."

She looked hurt by my words.

"You may have not died, but you were ripped out of my life when you were barely younger than he is now," she said. "I lost you once, I don't want to lose you again. Not to death, and not to this."

"I'm sorry, mom," I said. "Maybe I do need a breather."

"Try to clear your head, okay?" Mom asked. "We'll be here when you get back."

"Thanks, mama," I said. I walked away from her. There was only one place I could think to go. The hospital Chapel.

Lucas' POV

I tried focusing on work. I started working as a secretary at Topanga's law firm in July. I was attempting to write an email, but I couldn't concentrate. My mind kept going back to my nephew. He only has a couple of days left, according to the doctor, my mind reminded me. I remembered the day he was born.

KC pushed for the last time, and I heard the cry of my nephew. I smiled. The doctor offered to let me cut the cord, but I declined. That was Jaxon's job. The doctor cut the cord instead. They wrapped him in a blue blanket and handed him to her.

"What are you and Jaxon naming him?" I asked.

"Lucas Aaron Friar," she said. I smiled.

"You're naming him after me?"

"Yeah."

My eyes started watering, and I suddenly got angry. I swung my arm across the desk and knocked the computer monitor off, breaking it. Tears streamed down my face. Topanga walked out of her office.

"Lucas, what happened?" She saw the busted computer monitor on the ground and my face. I just looked at her. "Lucas, I want you to go home, you have the rest of the day off." I slowly nodded. I stood up from my seat and walked out of the law firm, looking at the broken monitor on my way out.

KC's POV

I was sitting in a pew. I looked down at the proof of life growing inside of me. It killed me knowing that she may not have her big brother. I silently prayed for God to spare him. I looked up and saw the upright piano on the side of the room. I went up to it and sat down. I ran my fingers across the keys. I had to let everything out and I knew the exact song to do that with. It pretty much described what was on my heart right now. I pushed down the soft pedal and started playing.

Like a childhood room when you're home for a long weekend/ Everything's the same but it all feels different/ I remember when I used to/ Know that I was safe next to you/ Now I'm standing in the same place/ And I don't feel anything at all

I stared straight forward.

'Cause letting go of you/ Feels like I'm letting go of me/ Without you here/ I won't know who I am or who to be/ If I walk away, I'm scared I'll never see you again/ But I'm fighting for a memory I'm starting to forget/ 'Cause the thought of losin' you is sinking in

Farkle's POV

I decided to get some coffee and hot chocolate for KC and I. I know this is killing her. She needs me, and I know she's not trying to push me away.

KC's POV

You were the ground that I used to stand on/ Now the familiar's gone, and I'm trying to hold on/

I remembered his familiar smile and how it hasn't shown since he was admitted here. I've never seen him so weak. Even when he was thrown out of the vehicle, he didn't change.

I've been trying to resist it/ Trying to keep it at a distance, so/ But I'm standing in the same place/ And I don't feel anything at all

Farkle's POV

I went to Aaron's room, and didn't see KC.

"Where's KC?" I asked Katy.

"She went to clear her head," she said. I knew where she was in that instant. The only way she can clear her head is by praying or singing. I walked to the hospital chapel. I heard her singing.

Don't leave me here/ don't leave me here/ don't leave me here/

I started walking towards her.

Don't leave me here/ don't leave me here/ don't leave me here/

I could hear the pain, and that she was now crying, in the sound of her voice.

Don't leave me here/ don't leave me here/ don't leave me here/

She yelled out the last three lines of the bridge. I slowly walked up next to her as she sang them.

Don't leave me here/ don't leave me here/ don't leave me here!

She saw me. I saw how soaked in tears her face was. Mine matched hers.

She looked at me. I sat next to her at the piano. I pulled her into a hug and she started bawling into my chest.

"I'm here," I said through my own tears. "I love you." I held her. That was the only thing I could do.

"I love you too," she said.
