Chapter 9 – "More Bathroom Chats"

Janine was in her bathroom after the 3rd day of her treatment. Leaning against the bathroom wall, she looked at the toilet as she tried to fight the nausea. 'I hate this. Sometimes, I think the treatment is worse than having the disease.' Just then there was a knock on her bedroom door. "Come in" Janine croaked in a raw voice. Throwing up always made Janine's throat sore. The door swung open and who should walk in but Kitty and Kurt. "Hey, you want some company?" Kitty said.
Janine couldn't help but crack a smile, "Sure why not?" The two mutants joined Janine by sitting on the bathroom floor with her. "So, am I becoming you guys' new hobby or something?" Janine asked, obviously joking.
"Ja." Kurt replied with a smile. "Janine-Stalking is the latest sport. Everyone is doing it," The group giggled a little.
"Tell me more about some of the stuff you guys have done. Kitty, why don't you tell me more about being apart of the Bayville Sirens? That sounded really cool"
"It was!" Kitty said. She commenced in telling Janine the entire adventure. The three sat on the floor and talked for hours, with a few interruptions by Janine, who occasionally needed to throw up. When ever she had a long section of throwing up (or dry heaves), Kitty would get a wet wash cloth, and hold it against Janine's face to cool her down, and Kurt would get her a cup of water to sooth her throat and to put something in her stomach. "Are you sure you guys aren't mind readers?" Janine asked.
The two smiled, and Kurt said, "No"
These two people were amazing. They were the best friends she could have ever asked for. They helped her, but they didn't baby her. They were around, but they weren't suffocating. They treated her fairly normal, unless there was an instance that they had to treat her differently, like when she was throwing up. It was wonderful. Around them, she could act like a regular teenager. Janine was feeling like she'd give up just about anything to be normal again. In a joking manner, Janine replied, "If you're not mind readers, you've got to be angels."
Kitty laughed. "No, we're not angels, but if you want to meet an angel, I'm sure we could call up Warren, and have him come out here."
Janine was a little confused, "Whose Warren?"
"Warren is a mutant with big white wings. He actually looks like an angel. He lives in New York though." Kitty explained.
"You guys are so cool. It would be awesome to be a mutant." Janine said. Suddenly, Janine's mom poked her head into the room. "Janine, it's almost 9:00 and your friends have school tomorrow, so tell them good bye, and let them leave."
"Okay Mom." Janine said as her mother left the room.
"Bye guys. Thanks for coming. It was a lot more entertaining with you guys around..." Janine said as her friends got up and left the room. "Bye, Janine." They echoed. And then they were gone. Sitting on the floor by herself, Janine started to think. She envied Kitty and Kurt so much. They were so normal, even with the super powers. Janine wished desperately she could be normal again. 'If it weren't for these treatments, life would be fairly normal...my hair would grow back, I'd stop being nauseous, and I'd actually get to stay in school. But of course, if I gave up my treatments, I'd be giving up any chance that I could live a long life..."
