still her friend. She tells him about how she has been feeling lately. Kay
and Reese goes to the hospital and finds out what is wrong.
Chapter 2 ********* One Week Later
Kay has been getting a little worse sence she saw Dr. Russell. She had nosebleed for no reason and she had a bruise everytime she slightly bumped into something. She knew something was seriously wrong. Tomorrow she would know but she needed someone to go with her. She decided to ask Reese. She went over to his house and knocked on the door. Reese answered it and was surprised to see Kay here, she never came to his house.
"Kay what are you doing here?" said Reese
"I need to talk to you."said Kay
"Ok, come on in."
"Can we talk privetly, are your parents here?"
"No, they are out, what is it."
"I want you, well I need you to come with me to the doctor tomorrow."
"What, why, whats wrong?"
"Well, I haven't been feeling very well for the last month and I haven't been getting any better. I went to Dr. Russell to ask her if she thought anything was wrong and she said she doesn't think there is anything wrong. But she said if I felt better to have the test then she would do it. I had a couple of tests done and she said come back in a week. Well sense then this past week I have felt worse and I gotten bruises everyone time I bumped into something. Plus I got a nosebleed the other day for no reason at all. I know something is seriously wrong and I am so scared to go alone and I know I can trust you."
"Of course I will come with you Kay."
"But you can't tell anyone in my family or Simone or anyone for that matter ok. Only you, me, and Dr. Russell. Alright."
"Ok, I won't tell anyone. Do you want me to pick you up or meet here or the hospital...?"
"Um, I think it would be best if you picked me up, I been dizzy a lot and I don't think I should even try to walk that much."
"Ok, I will pick you up when...?"
"Dr. Russell said she would call me tomorrow. If she says its nothing or she would like me to come down...I would just call you ok?"
"Ok. I will see you tomorrow then. You want me to take you home?"
"Yeah, I don't feel really strong enough to even walk. Thank you."
"Ok then, lets go."
Reese drove Kay home and she went straight to bed and slept till mid- morning. She woke up and went downstairs to the livingroom and saw Charity, Jessica and her mom watching a movie. She sat next to Jessica on the couch.
"What do you want Kay?" said Grace
"Why is it everytime I come down here I always get the third degree. I don't want anything I just want to be left alone." yelled Kay
"Kay you don't have to be mean about it, Aunt Grace was just asking a question." said Charity
"Whatever."
Kay just sat there just staring at the tv not even watching it, thinking about when Eve was going to call. Then the phone rang and Kay quickly answered it.
"Hello?"
"Kay, its Dr. Russell."
"Hello Dr. Russell."
"Oh, here Kay give me the phone." says Grace, thinking it was for her sense she and Dr. Russell were such good friends.
"It isn't for you, its for me." says Kay
"Well Kay, I think it would be best if you came down to the hospital to get the results." says Eve in a very concerned voice.
"Ok. When would be the best time?"
"I think right now is best."
"Ok, I will be there. Goodbye."
"Bye."
Kay hung up with Dr. Russell and called Reese.
"Hello?" says Reese
"Reese?"
"Kay, did Dr. Russell call you?"
"Yeah, she wants me to come down there right now"
"Ok, I will be there right away. Bye"
"Bye"
Charity, Jessica and Grace who have been listening on both calls, are now glaring at Kay for some reason or another.
"What was that phone call about Kay?" asks Grace
"Non of your business. Now I am going out for awhile."
"Oh no your not!"
"Mom, just let her go." says Jessica
"Fine. Whatever."
Kay went outside to wait for Reese. He finally got there and they drove straight to the hospital. When they arrived they were told to sit and wait for Dr. Russell. Kay wouldn't let go of Reese's hand, she was so nervous and she was shaking like crazy.
"Its going to be ok. I will be there for you."
"Thank you Reese."
"Kay?" says Dr. Russell.
"Yes."
"You want to step into my office, I will give you the results."
They all walked into the office and sat down and waited.
"Whats wrong with me Dr. Russell?"
"Well, I hate to tell you this but aparently from these test you have Leukemia. Basicly your bone marrow has stopped producing blood cells. As you may know blood cells carry oxygen through the body. It also contains components which clot the blood and fight infection. Essentially, you have no immune system. Therefore, you have no defense against illness. Also, your blood cannot clot on its own. At this point, even a superficial injury is dangerous."
"What can be done? It is curable?" asked Reese concerned for his friend.
"Some cases are curable. You Kay, are a relatively young woman, and overall in good health."
"What do we do?" asked Kay
"Well, you will be givin antibiotics and will be put on drug thearpy."
"Drug thearpy?"
"Yes. Basically, we will use drugs to try to jump start, so to speak, your bone marrow into functioning on its own again."
"What if that doesn't work?" "Then we look for a bone marrow transplant."
"Are they successful?" "It veries from case to case. But in your case we found out in early stages so that is a plus. We usually find matching bone marrow in the family. Now I would like to start you on these treatments as soon as possible. I would say the earliest would be, today is Tuesday, so I would say about Thursday, I need to call up the perscriptions for the antibiotics and let the speacialists know about the drug thearpy. Now we need someone to help you along."
"I will help." said Reese
"You will, oh thank you Reese." Kay hugged Reese. "Now Dr. Russell I don't want my family to know about this ok. I know they should but I don't want them too. They could careless about me. They don't need to know."
"I will only tell if you want me too but sooner or later we might have too."
"I understand that but right now, I don't want them to know."
"Alright. Well, I want you here on Thursday at 8:00am. Ok."
"Alright. I will see you then Dr. Russell."
Kay and Reese left Eve's office and was now in the waiting area.
"I am so scared Reese." " Don't worry I will be with you every step of the way."
"Oh thank you." Kay hugged Reese and kissed him on the cheek and then they left the hospital to Kay's home.
Next Chapter *************** Its Two years later and Kay is still getting treatments. Everyone is at the church because Charity and Miguel are getting married. They went through so much they felt that they should wait a couple of years to get married and so they did. Well, actually Charity-miss-prime-and-proper-cheerleader-type called off the wedding for a long time. She felt she wasn't ready. (I hate Charity by the way). Anyway, their all at the church waiting for the ceremony to start.
