Chapter 5: I Hate Cancer

Nessie's POV

My mom could not stop crying and neither could I. We both had terminal cancer. We were both sick. I hugged my mother as tightly as I could as she did with me.

I looked at my grandfather and he too had started crying. Which was a little shocking because I didn't think that my grandfather cried.

"I'm so sorry Nessie" was the first thing that my grandfather said. The first thing that anyone said.

"Sorry for what?" I managed to say. "You didn't do anything wrong"

"Didn't do anything wrong?" he said in disbelief. "I accused you of not listening when you wanted to talk about treatment options. When I was the one who refused to listen to you when it was clear you had something extremely important to tell me. I should not have been so cold and for that I am sorry" he said.

"Grandpa I'm not mad at you. So don't worry about that. We got other things to worry about" I told him. Like the fact that my mom and I are both sick with freaking cancer! I hate cancer!

"Nessie" grandpa said, his voice sounding very full of emotion. "How long have you known?"

"Six months ago I ended up in the hospital for a week because I fainted. They ran a lot of tests and discovered the cancer. They only gave me three years to live"

"Only three years!" my mom shouted hysterically before bursting out in tears again. "No! No! No! I refuse to believe that you are going to die. You can't die. You just can't!" she shouted.

"and you can't either mom"'I said to her.

"Can't what?" she asked me.

"Die" I told her. "You can't die either mom. You know what? We're going to fight. You and I are going to fight as long and hard as we can. We have to. For my dad, for my girls, for everyone, and especially for ourselves" I said with determination in my boice.

"You know what? You're right" mom said. "We have got to fight. We have got to try"

"Nessie" grandpa said.

"Yes grandpa?" I said.

"I think it's time that we do start talking about treatment options for you. I have some ideas in mind that I would like to discuss with you. Have you been undergoing treatment in the last six months?"

"Yes. Non-stop since I first found out. Chemotherapy has been working for me"

"Well Nessie, I have other patients that I need to attend to right now but can you come back tonight so we can discuss this?"

"Okay grandpa" I said.

"Uh oh" grandpa said as he read a text message on his phone.

"What is it grandpa?" I asked him feeling somewhat worried now.

"I forgot that your father told your aunts and uncles what happened to your mother. They've just arrived" he said. "As well as your grandmother"

My heart actually skipped several beats. I have missed my aunts and uncles so much. I loved uncles Emmett and Jasper. My aunts Alice and Rosalie were the best. Rosalie always adored me because she couldn't have kids of her own so she treated me like her own daughter. I wonder what she thought of me once I left. Much like my parents she had hated Jacob and did everything she could to try and keep us apart.

Then there was grandma Esme. Lovely grandma Esme, no words can describe her.

I was startled when I heard a knocking on the door.

"They're here now" grandpa said.

I mentally prepared myself for another reunion.
