Chapter 5
I stared doctor, bewildered.
"T-Tumorr?" I said, shaking as I had been before.
"Yes, I didn't want to tell you all together, but he has a tumor in his brain. We're not sure if it was a result of the car crash, but it's certainly growing quickly. After he was admitted into the hospital, we had x-rayed him. I wasn't aware that there was a tumor in his brain. Does his day job require him to be out in the sun for a long time?"
His job? Oh it was roofing, wasn't it? I couldn't think straight. Well when your roofing, I guess you are in the sun for a while.
I opened my mouth to say something, but instead Sodapop said "Yes, he works roofing homes."
"What is there that we can do?" I asked.
"Well we're hoping this isn't cancer. As of now, more doctors are doing tests to find out if it is. If it isn't, then we can hope for the best, and try to get the tumor out without complications. But if it is, we will have to go through about 10 weeks of chemotherapy, and if that doesn't work, then there isn't anything else that we could do. You two can go see Darryl now if you want to."
I walked into the room that Darry was in. He was either unconscious, or sleeping. I think it was the second one. Soda gently shook him and he woke up.
"Heyy…Darry. How are you feeling?" Soda said.
"What…what happened? Where am I?" Darry replied in a soft voice, almost as if he wasn't there.
"You were in a car crash buddy, it's gonna be okay." Soda said.
Everything's NOT gonna be okay…
