Tickled Pink
This is for anybody affected by Cancer in any shape or form. It's about two Sun Hill officers and their battle with Cancer. During the battle they form a friendship that they feared had been lost over time.
She bent her head over the toilet and vomited, it felt as if all energy had been drained from her body, she knew she had to go to work but her body could not get up. She laid there, her head lifelessly resting against the aqua coloured wall, taking deep breaths she inhaled and exhaled watching her chest rising and falling. After a while she felt she had to get to her feet one hand gripping on to the edge of the sink and another balancing against the wall she pushed her self up from the floor and face her reflection in the mirror. Her skin had a greyish tinge to it and her eyes looked sunken in and had bags underneath them. She was scared of what was happening to her it was as if her whole body had been taken over and she could not control it. At first she appeared to be ok just having the odd day where she felt rough, now it had got to the point where she dreaded going to sleep in the evening fearing waking up the next morning. She had arranged to see her doctor this evening but feared what he would say. Was she pregnant?
Half an hour late she arrived at work, she knew that she would be in for it when Gina got her hands on her but for once she didn't really care, she had bigger things on her mind. Slowly walking towards inspector Golds office she heard her yells,
"Bollocks!" she stated as she stood outside the door.
She waited outside until she had finished blowing her top, taking in her surroundings she noticed Smithy pounding down the corridor towards her, looking down at her polished boots she thought to herself 'Double bollocks'.
"Glad to see you crawled in to work today PC Young" he said folding his arms across his chest.
"Sorry Sarge I haven't been feeling to good lately, I've been feeling sick lately especially in the mornings its hard to get up" she replied quietly.
"Not pregnant are we" he joked
She didn't say anything just looked down at the floor a lone tear falling down her smooth cheek.
"Are you serious?" he stated in obvious shock.
"I'm not one hundred percent but I think so"
He took her arm and led her into his office at this point in time Gina came out of her office to see Kerry, catching Smithy's eye she pointed at Kerry and cut her throat with a hand gesture. Smithy acknowledged how Gina felt, nodded and closed the door looking at Kerry while she wiped her eyes with the cuff of her jumper.
"Erm what you gonna do if you are…erm.." he stuttered,
"Is PREGNANT the word your looking for Dale?" he cried,
"I don't know, I'm going to the doctors tonight I'll see what he says" she continued,
"Are you gonna' have an abortion?" he asked, his words falling slowly out,
"Wondered how long it would be until you asked that" she proclaimed.
"Did I say that I wanted that? Anyway I'm not letting you out of the station so you can go and work on custody today, the relief are bringing back a van of people that they arrested at a riot so it should be busy" he replied ushering her out of the door.
Watching through a gap in the blinds Gina cursed Kerry, once out of site she burst open her door and pulled Smithy in.
"What lame excuse did the little madam spin off now?" She spat,
"She aint bin well" He replied quietly,
"Yeah yeah she wont be once I get my hands on her"
"Ma'am I think you should lay off her for a while" He suggested.
Meanwhile in custody Kerry went to cross her arms to shield her from the cold only to feel sheer pain in her breast. She wanted to cry but put on a brave exterior when she saw Inspector Gold parade past. Praying she wouldn't say anything she avoided eye contact pretending to be filling in a form.
"Ahh PC Young I was beginning to think that you had been abducted by aliens" She mocked,
"No ma'am still on planet earth, now if you'll excuse me I have work to do" Shrugging off Gina's constant jibes.
"Oooo hear that Smithy she says she has work to do, shame she didn't think of that last week." She continued.
Smithy noticed the tears welling up Kerry's eyes and an expression of sympathy brushed across his face. She could take it no longer, all this taunting from Gina who was meant to show superiority towards her felt like a constant knife being plunged into her. Stepping down from custody she brushed past Smithy and Gina and progressed towards the toilets…
