Chapter 14
Angel woke up in the hospital with the doctor standing over her and Spot sitting in a chair next to her. She tried to sit up, but was too weak.
She cleared her throat and spoke: "What happened?" "What's wrong with me?"
Spot just sat there and looked down at the floor.
"I'm ok…. Aren't I?"
"Angel McGill, the cause of your pain and unconsciousness yesterday was from a disease in your ovaries…. Cancer to be exact.
"Oh my god."
"We could have just taken out your ovaries, but the cancer has spread, so there is really no point in doing so now."
"Am I dying?"
"I'm sorry Angel, nut you have only weeks to live now." "I'm truly sorry, I'll leave you two alone now."
By this time, Angel had tears streaming down her face. Spot scooted his chair over so he could sit next to her.
"Your little body is slowly breakin' down, you won't have the sparkle of your fantastic past, if ya climb one more mountain…. It could be yer last."
"I'm not that ill…. Bad moments come…. But they go. Some days are fine, some a little bit harder. But that doesn't mean we should give up our dream…. Have you ever seen me defeated? Don't you forget what I've been through and yet…. I'm still standing."
Spot let one lone tear role down his cheek, but Angel wiped it away with her hand.
"I think I'll wait to tell everyone about this Spot."
"Yea, sniff, that's probably a good idea." "I'll be right heah at yer side Angel, I'll nevah leave you from now on."
"So what happens now?" "Where am I going to?"
"Don't ask anymore, Angel."
