Don't know how long this chap will be, sorry it took so long…
Oh, this is like a few weeks after 'Revenge'…coz I wasn't sure how 2 bring it into the next part of the story, I just decided to skip it.
Confused? Me 2, just read it, I hope I'll explain everything…
"GRAN!" Holly's high-pitched scream followed the sound of smashing glass through the small suburban home. I ran to where it was coming from and gasped at the sight. Holly was bent over a still form laying on shards of glass from the broken coffee table, tears streamed down her face as she tried to find a pulse.
"Holly." I choked out as tears started down my cheeks too.
"Amy." She whispered as she put her arms around me and cried.
Amy and Holly were sitting beside Doris' hospital bed each holding one of her hands. Their eyes were red and puffy from crying and they were snoozing while Doris was talking to her doctor, trying not to wake them.
"Doris, I'm afraid your cancer is spreading too quickly."
"What do you mean doctor?"
"You're dieing Doris."
"How long do I have?"
"I'm not sure, you crashed 3 times last night, we've given you some painkillers and rested your lungs for a few hours on the ventilator last night, it's not looking good."
"Don't lie to me doctor, I've known I was dieing for months now, what I want to know is when."
"A few days, a week or two if you stayed here so we could monitor you."
"You know I don't want that, I lived most of my life in that house, I'm not going to die uncomfortably in some hospital bed."
"You do understand that if you stay at home you will have to wait for an ambulance to bring you back if you stop breathing again…here there is medical staff ready to help you…"
"Doctor, I don't want to be revived."
"What?"
"If I stop breathing, or anything goes wrong I don't want any medical assistance. I want to sign a DNR."
"You understand that if you do it we can't help you, you'll most likely die."
"Yes I understand. I'm an old woman, I've lived my life and god's decided it's my time to go, I don't want to cause my family more pain…its time to give in."
"Give up, I never thought I'd hear you say those words."
"I didn't say give up, I said give in."
"Means the same thing."
"doctor you don't understand now, because you're young, but as you get older, more experienced, you realise eventually you do have to stop fighting, you resign to the fact that one day your fighting will be worth nothing because you're going to die anyway. The secret is to know when it's time to give in…"
"But how do you know?"
"I just do, and one day you will too. But doctor, use my advice wisely, don't give up now, your life is just beginning, there's still plenty of fight left in you."
"Dori please don't." a voice whispered from a chair beside the bed.
"Amy…"
"Don't give up, not yet…"
"It's time Ams."
"No please. I'm not ready, I can't do it without you."
"Yes you can, you've been ready for this your whole life."
"Dori…"
"Shhhhh! I'm not dieing now, we're going home and we're going to watch a movie together."
"But what if."
"There's no what ifs, I'm going to die, it's just a matter of when. So can we please go?"
"Ok." Amy finally replied, giving in.
"Shhhhh! Holly it's ok, this is how she wanted things to be."
"NO!" Holly screamed at me. "she didn't want to fall onto the glass coffee table and cut herself, she wanted to die peacefully watching a movie, but we couldn't even get that right, we took to long…and now she's gone." She started sobbing into my t-shirt again as my tears fell into her hair. Holly was right, this wasn't the way she wanted to go, and it was our fault we took so long trying to make her comfortable.
Does she forgive us, will she protect Holly and make sure I take good care of her like I promised, even though we broke our promise to her...
