"You have leukemia"

The day was pretty nice, warm, which was a bit weird in the middle of the October. I was finally feeling better. For the past two weeks I was feeling pretty light-headed, I even had some nose bleedings. But that's normal. After all, I'm a growing boy. The tiredness went away, and now I was pretty ok. At least I hoped for it.

We were talking and preparing a set for the new school play. Ms. Blackwell, a new teacher in our school, not so older than us, decided to get on with 'Dracula' for this year. So, now we were making a scary-looking old trees, and deciding how to paint the coffins.

"So…Alec you're really good on this" said Ms. Blackwell, as she handed me a new plan for the set. "I'm thinking that the coffins should be classical, black and white"

"Sure thing"

"Oh I'm so excited" she grinned at me "The play is about in two days"

"Yeah, and there's a bit more to do"

"Yes, yes. I'll leave you to do your job. If you need some more help just let me know"

"Ok, Ms. Blackwell"

After she left me, I decided to finish the trees, and then start with coffins. During painting the second one I felt a bit light-headed. But I only shrugged my arms and soon it passed. At some point of painting there was a sweat on my forehead, but it couldn't be from tiredness. I touched my forehead, and found out that it's a bit warmer than usual. Did I have a fever? But I was ok in the morning. I didn't really understand it. the more time passed and I was feeling more and more lighter.

I didn't even realize when the darkness engulfed me.

There were some voices above my head, and some weird beeping. With a huge effort I slowly opened my eyes. Everything was white here, I couldn't recognize anything. The weird beeping was getting louder and louder, making me annoyed.

"Alec, baby" the voice was so familiar, yet in that second I couldn't connected it with a face "Baby boy?"

"Mom?"

"Sweetie" when the blur lowered a bit, I saw a features that belongs to my mother. She was leaning to me, and stroking my hair. "I've been so worried baby boy"

"Mom…where…am"

"Honey you're in the hospital" that made me aware. How the hell did I come here? What happened? "You fainted in school. They brought you here"

"D…drink…" my throat was dry and sore. And when I drank down a water that mom gave me, I started to feel a bit better.

"Ah, so you're awake." Another female voice came to my ears. Soon I saw a yellow light in front of my eyes "Alexander look at the light" that woman started to move the light in the sides of my head. My eyes involuntary started to follow it. "Your reactions are alright. How do you feel?"

"Headache"

"That's normal. You hit your head when you fell down to the floor" the woman in front of me had brown hair and white coat "My name is doctor Lauren Anderson. You're in the Beth Israel Hospital"

"Oh…" that was the only thing I could really come up in that moment

"Here's something for your headache, but before you take it. I'd like to talk with you" I was starting to feel more awake and aware now. "Does this happened before?"

"No"

"Did you feel anything lately, like anything?"

"He had a cold last week, and sometimes he has bleeds from his nose" mom explained "And he's more tired"

"But that's because I have more job in school" I retorted. "It's nothing bad"

"Did you maybe lose your weight lately? You're a bit skinny, like for a boy in your age" the doctor implied.

"Nah…I think my weight is the same" she nodded and scribbled something down in her notes.

"Ok. Well, I'm gonna to take some blood for a test, and you rest a bit" some nurse came to me and took a bit blood of mine. The doctor told her to take a few tests, she said the names of them but I couldn't really keep up on them. "Ok. Here's the meds for your headache. And sleep some"

"Can't I go home? I feel fine"

"I'd rather to keep you here for a few days" she looked at my mom in that moment.

"He'll stay here." Maryse said "Is it ok, if I stay here as well?"

"Yes, we have a room for parents"

After all, I stayed in the hospital for two days. Doctor took more of my blood to do some more tests, which was getting me pretty nervous. They moved me and mom to some other room, where she had a better place to sleep on.

Finally doctor Anderson had all results. When she came to me on this fine afternoon, her face wasn't happy at all. She wanted to talk with mom in private, but I demanded to be during that talk. After all it concerned me. I had a right to know what was going on with me.

"Alexander, we have now results. The level of lymphocytes in your blood is 40%, which is about 2% higher than you should have" she explained "That's why you're bleeding out of your nose and you feel more light-headed"

"But what does it mean?" asked my mom. I didn't know either what it meant. We didn't learn such things on biology.

"I'm really sorry to say this, but you have LLA" we looked at her confused as hell "You have leukemia"

For a while I was just blinking at her, while mom had tears in her eyes. Then I started to laugh like crazy.

"Yeah…good joke doctor. Really good joke"

"This isn't a joke Alexander. You have leukemia and the sooner we start with chemotherapy, there's a bigger chance that we can fight it"

"I'm not sick! I'm not sick!" I cried out, jerking my hand out of mom's grip. "I'm not fucking sick!"

Before I left her office I couldn't help myself but destroy something. When I broke the plastic chair mom just screamed at me and then she apologized to the doctor. The rest of it I didn't hear, because I ran away from there, straight to home.

When it finally hit me, I couldn't stop crying in my room.

I was sick.

I was dying.

I have leukemia.
