A/N: I'm going to end this soon, I'm not as interested in HG as I was before, besides practically no one reads this, or if they do, they don't review. Which is all that keeps me writing. So this is being cut a bit short, I will finish it as soon as possible, and probably cut some of the plot. I'm only doing this because I hate unfinished stories.
The Cliffhanger just arrived at the hospital. But the doctor wanted to speak to Peter and Sophie.
"I'm sorry to be the one to tell you. But yes… Shelby has cancer, to be specific, heart cancer. And the problem is, we found out a little too late. Shelby cannot really be saved anymore, unless someone is willing to donate their own heart, which is a small chance. There is also a minor chance that someone dies, and she will be able to get the heart, but there are about a hundred other people waiting in line, so that chance is even smaller." The doctor confirmed.
"But… She's so young.. How?" Sophie managed while tears were running down her cheeks.
"Some are born with it, I don't think Shelby was though, cause then we would've known by now. But some just, sometimes their hearts get too tired of beating, and are ready to give up. No one can really control that. It's up to the heart."
"Can't we do anything?" Peter asked, he was on the edge of crying too.
"For the time being, no… We will give her some medication, that will take some of the pain away, but unless we find a heart, she's going to die…" The doctor stated.
"Well how long do we have?" Peter asked.
"We don't know the exact date, but around a month, give or take a week.. I'm sorry."
"This can't be happening…" Sophie said, and she began to cry.
"So we're just supposed to stand here, and watch her die!" Peter almost yelled.
"I know it's hard, but unless there's another heart, we or you can't do anything…"
"How is it even possible! She is a healthy girl…" Sophie cried.
"Maybe, it can have something to do with her long and struggling life? She may have overtaxed her heart. Who knows…"
"I don't believe this! Not Shelby, not SHELBY!" Sophie yelled. And there was a long pause.
"Do you want me to contact her mother, or will you?" The doctor asked.
"I tried, she's impossible to find."
"Well I'll try to track her down, also… Someone has to tell Ms. Merrick, shall I, or do you want to do it?" He asked.
"We'll do it." Peter said.
"We will!" Sophie asked.
"Yes, it's better to come out from us, than from the doctor, we're like her parents, we should be the ones who tell her…" Peter said.
Peter and Sophie walked out of the doctor's office, and walked slowly towards Shelby's room. They knocked on the door, and everyone was surprised to see Sophie still half crying.
"Is everything alright?" Scott asked.
"No…" Peter said.
"Well, what is going on!" Scott demanded.
"Shelby… You.." Sophie started. She couldn't do it. She could not tell Shelby that she had around a month to live in, unless some miracle happened, and they found a heart for her!
"Shelby, you're sick…" Peter said, and looked her in the eye. "You have… You have heart… Heart cancer…" He said, and a tear fell down his cheeks. And so on the others. Especially Daisy, Jess and Scott.
"NO! You're lying!" Scott and Jess yelled. Shelby didn't manage to say anything.
"I wish we were…" Peter said.
"Not possible!" Jess screamed.
"Shelby we also have to tell you, that unless we find a person who wants to donate he or she's heart, you have… You have a month, give or take a week left…" Peter said.
The faces changed, they all started crying…
"A month?" Shelby managed at last.
"Y.. Yes.." Sophie answered.
"This is not happening!" Daisy yelled.
They were all heartbroken, even the guys. Shelby had heart cancer, and she had another month left… This was so unfair, she was 17!
After Scott got the news, he felt like running away. He ran towards the door, opened it and ran out. He had to think about what he had just heard. He loved her, he could not just stand there and watch her die.
"Scott, Scott where's you going!" Peter yelled, but didn't get an answer.
When Scott finally came back, the cliffhangers had left, there was only Sophie, Daisy and Jess left.
"Scott! Where've you been!" Sophie asked. He didn't respond, he was just lost… Heartbroken. He walked towards Shelby's bed and sat on the chair. She was sleeping..
This is not happening! I can't just stand here and watch her die like that, I have to do something! I love the girl! How am I supposed to just leave her to die! – Scott thought..
He thought all night, and the next day too, and the next too. He saw Shelby suffer, she began to throw up. It wasn't just food, there was blood too.
One he decided to do something… He was going to…
