Chapter 2: The News
1 Year Later
Lizzie and her mom were on their way to the doctor's office for Lizzie's yearly check-up. When they got there, they signed-in and then
went to sit in the waiting room.
"Maybe we'll find out why you've been sick so much." Her mom spoke.
"I hope so." Lizzie replied.
They continued reading magazines until the nurse called them.
"Elizabeth McGuire?" The nurse said.
"Right here!"Lizzie replied.
Then Lizzie walked back into the check-up room, she wanted her mom to stay in the waiting room since she was 15.
The nurse asked her a couple of questions, then she got weighed and measured.
"The doctor will be in here shortly." The nurse told Lizzie.
After it felt like an eternity for lizzie, the doctor finally came.
"Hi lizzie!"Dr. Hanson greeted her.
'Hi doctor." She said.
Dr. Hanson did the regular check-up and then asked her some questions.
"Anything unusual?" questioned Dr. Hanson.
"I've been sick a lot, and weak at times." Lizzie replied.
"I better run some blood tests." said Dr. Hanson.
Then she told the nurse to tell Lizzie's mom about it while she went to get the needle.
Her mom walked in and sat beside her. Then the doctor came back in.
She put some alchohol on the crease where the needle goes then she pushed the needle in.
Lizzie squeezed her mom's hand tightly and shut her eyes.
"All done." said the doctor.
'That wasn't so bad!' Lizzie thought.
Dr. Hanson told her to keep the cotton on and keep her arm bent while she sent the blood to be examined.
15 minutes later Dr. Hanson came back in and gave Lizzie a bandaid for her arm.
"Follow me into my office." She said and they followed.
They walked into her nicely furnished office and saw a big desk and chair with a laptop computer and two chairs in front of the desk.
"Please, sit." She told them.
Then she began to speak.
"The blood test results are not very good." The doctor explained, Lizzie looked a little more interested.
"They show that Lizzie has the same disease as her father did, Leukemia." She went on.
Lizzie eyes started watering and tears ran down her cheeks, her mother's eyes were red with tears building up.
"Oh my god!" Her mom reacted.
"I'm very sorry. She has the same type as her dad, that means you, Mrs. McGuire cannot help her in the bone marrow transplant."
After those words were said Lizzie's mom was in tears. She hugged her daughter and they left, feeling gloomy and sad inside.
When they got home, her mom explained what she had to Matt, he knew what it was since their dad had it.
"So, Lizzie's gonna die?"Matt asked.
I'm afraid so, unless we find a match." Their mom replied.
Matt wasn't happy, why should he be? He was crying.
Lizzie ran upstairs and called Miranda and Gordo. She told them what she had.
"Oh my god, Lizzie I'm so sorry!" was all they said, Lizzie could hear them sniffling and holding back tears.
