Chapter 14: The Hospital and Amy with …?
Stacy and Randy were already in the elevator. Stacy was still thinking about the way she acted minutes ago in the elevator when Christy came in.
"Stacy?" Randy nudged her and snapped his fingers in front of Stacy to get her attention. She was staring into space.
"Huh?" she jerked her head towards him and saw Randy looking at her deeply.
"Umm. This is our stop." Randy just said and they got out of the elevator.
"Oh! Sorry. I'm just thinking of something." She replied. 'Whew! Thank God that wanna-be isn't here with us anymore.' She thought to herself.
Meanwhile, at the hospital, let's take a look at what's happening to John.
"Now, Mr. Cena. This will hurt a bit." The nurse told him as she injected something into John. John felt like an ant bite. 'It didn't hurt much.' He thought to himself.
"What was that for?" he asked the nurse tentatively. John is already in stretcher, he will undergo the biopsy in a few minutes.
"It's for bacterial organisms and viruses to keep away from you." The nurse explained to him.
"So, Mr. Cena, what do you want? Do you want to be awake during the procedure but you will not feel anything, mostly, or be asleep during the procedure? But I must tell you that it is better for you to be awake so that you can cooperate with us." the doctor asked him. John thought for a while. Horrible thoughts started to swim across his tensed mind after the doctor asked him.
'What if I die during the procedure?' he asked himself. And as if the doctor read his mind,
"Don't worry, the odds of something going wrong during the procedure is one to a hundred." The doctor assured him.
"Um. I guess I want to be awake during the procedure." John told the doctor.
"Okay. Just wait here, you will be brought to the room." The doctor said. "I will be there with the radiologist and other people who will be with me to do the biopsy." The doctor added and went out the room.
After a few minutes, nurses are now transferring him into another stretcher and went into the elevator that will transport them to the floor where the procedure will take place. He was ushered into a room. It was dark outside but it was really bright inside because of the very big light in the middle of the room.
"Mr. Cena, please curl into a fetal position." One of the doctors instructed him. John followed. And John felt something, one of the assistants inside is swabbing the area below his back just right at the lowest bone of his spinal column.
"Now this will hurt a bit." Another of the doctors said. John caught a glimpse of the big syringe with a hollow needle that will be used to get the bone marrow sample. John braced himself and waited for the needle to make contact with him.
He felt an excruciating pain as the needle was inserted into his lower back but he didn't show any weakness. He bit his lower lip and closed his eyes. As he closed his eyes, Stacy's face came to him. And from Stacy's face, he drew courage to face the pain he's feeling that moment. But he couldn't stop a tear as it flowed from his eye. If it was a pain caused by the procedure or the pain of not telling Stacy about his illness, he doesn't know. The entire procedure didn't last long.
"Mr. Cena, please remain in that position for eight hours. Don't move or apply force to avoid internal bleeding." The doctor instructed him. He was carried back to his room in a stretcher.
"So where do you want to go now?" Randy asked, after dumping the things Stacy shopped the day before in the hotel room.
"Hmmm. Let me think." Stacy replied and thought of the places that she wants to go. She wants to go to the beach, to the amusement park and the record store.
"Have you made your mind up yet?" Randy asked her in a pretend impatient tone of his voice.
"You know it's really tough to make up my mind. There are a lot of wonderful places that I want to go. But first let's go the amusement park." She told him and smiled widely. 'Spending my day with Randy isn't so bad.' She thought to herself.
"Amusement park?" Randy asked in a surprised voice.
"Yeah, the amusement park. What's wrong with that?" She asked him when she heard him ask her.
"Well, the amusement park is for kids you know." Randy told her.
"No it's not! Everyone can go there if they want to. And besides I want to ride in a carousel." She pouted.
"Alright! Let's go." Randy just said and raised his hands in surrender.
"Umm. Trish, could I leave you here for a few moments? I need to see someone." Amy said to Trish, while the blonde Canadian diva was lifting some weights.
"Yeah, sure. But be back okay?" Trish turned her head to Amy and replied and continued to work out. Her mind was really set in one goal. A goal to win against Christy Hemme.
"Yeah, I'll definitely be back." Amy answered and went out of the gym. She returned to the hotel where they were staying. She went inside the elevator and pressed number four for fourth floor. She carefully made her way into a room, making sure that no one saw her, she knocked on the door. After a few knocks, the door was opened by none other than Christy Hemme.
"I'm here." Amy said quietly and Christy let her in.
