hey guys here the next part. Sorry it took me so long, but I had a death in the family I had to get though.



After being in the hospital for a few hours the doctor walked into Dawson room. Where Gretchen Gale and Mitch were sitting along with Dawson the doctor looked at them and said. "I have some bad news to tell you all."
Everyone just looked at the doctor, but it was Gretchen was spoke first. "What wrong doctor?"
"I'm sorry to say this, but Dawson has been diagnosed with a rare form of cancer," said the doctor. "I know this is news to all of you, but we are looking right now to get him the best treatment."
Everyone just kind of looked around the room, until Dawson said in a soft tone. " Am I going to die?"
"Son, I don't know the answer to that one right now. You are the first case in this hospital of this cancer. I'm trying to get some fact, and see if we can send you to a different hospital to get you treatment," said the doctor. "Right now though I think it would be best if we just kept you on the pain medicine."
As the doctor was walking away Gretchen stopped him in the hallways and said. "Dr is there anything we could do for him?"
"The best thing is just being there for him right now. That is what he needs the most," said the doctor.
"Okay," said Gretchen. She then walked back into the room, and sat next to Dawson on the bed. "I said it at your house, and I say it again. I'm going to be by your side though this all and I want you to get better." This time Dawson was able to give her a hug, and he held her tight.
That night Gretchen stayed by Dawson side the whole night. She had talked to the doctor to let her stay with him. She knew that he needed her right now more then anything, but she also knew that no one else would be here for him the way that they should be. His parents were busy with their new son, Joey and Pacey were getting ready to go to NYC for there freshman year of college. Jen had chosen to spend the rest of her summer in Boston. Jack and Andie were busy catching up on old times, before they were sent off to different school in different parts of the US. Gretchen was the only one who could be her for Dawson.
She looked at her watch and notice that it was only 11:24 she knew that her brother would still be up, and would much likely be at their house. She got up and walked out to the nurse station. "If Dawson should wonder where I am just tell him I had to go call some," said Gretchen to the nurse.
"Yeah sure," said the nurse. As Gretchen started to walked away. She walked down the hallway to where she had saw a pay phone when she walked in. She picks it up and dialed the house number. Pacey answered it in three rings. "Hello," said Pacey.
"Hey Pace I knew you would be up I have some bad new," said Gretchen.
"What is it?" Pacey asked.
"Dawson is really really sick," said Gretchen. "The doctor says he has a rare kind of cancer. I don't know if he's going to make it Pace."
"Why did you call me sooner? I would have been there for you and Dawson," said Pacey.
"I don't know. I guess because I wanted to spend some time with him. I feel it my fault for letting him get this sick," said Gretchen. "I mean you Joey, Andie, Jen, and Jack all are busy doing your own thing, and then you have Dawson and myself. I went away for two weeks and come back and he's sick as a dog. He has a fever of 104, and he can't even move."
"Don' you even think it is your fault Gretchen. No one could have known this was going to happen. If you like I come sit down there with you," said Pacey.
"I think I just want to stay by myself tonight," said Gretchen. "You can come in the morning."
"Okay," said Pacey. "If you need anything just remember I'm here for you."
"I know," said Gretchen, "bye."
"Bye," said Pacey before Gretchen hung up the phone.
She walked into Dawson's room and sat down next to him again.

"Joey I have to tell you something," said Pacey. After Gretchen had called he had ran over to Joey's house to tell her the news.
"What is it?" Joey asked taking Pacey's hands.
"Joey my sister just called me and told me that Dawson is in the hospital," said Pacey.
"Is he alright?" Joey asked.
"No he really sick Jo. She said that when she went to his house this afternoon his temp one 104, he couldn't move, and now the doctor say that he had a rare type of cancer," said Pacey.
Joey didn't know what to say she just started crying on Pacey's shoulder. Her best friend was sick, and there was nothing she could do for him. "Joey if you like I can take you to see him in the morning."
"That would be nice," said Joey
