Fourteenth chapter.
I skipped a bit of time, because my muse decided it wanted a time jump to give this story a little jump-startish help. It worked!
This is a filler-ish chapter. But it's the first one! That makes me happier.
"Bella?" I heard someone ask- I could barely tell who anyone was anymore. It had been about a month- me losing sense of where I was, when it was. I couldn't feel pain anymore- a blessing that the cancer had decided to give me, because my eyes had started to really hurt, and my body ache, a week after I was admitted.
Everything was really screwed up. I don't think it could have gotten any more screwy.
"Bella, we think that your cancer is speeding up."
I really need to not entice the universe like that.
I remembered the day about a week ago when I regained my sight for almost a full day. Everyone was joyful, especially Edward. And now...
Poor Edward. Poor me.
I sighed and turned over, careful not to fall out of the bed. I felt cold, hard hands turn me back onto my back.
"You know better, Bella." I heard someone scold.
I wonder what their reaction would be if I just pretended to not be able to hear.
"Bella?"
I sighed. I couldn't do that to them- that would just take away any hope they had left for me. The only thing that was clear to me at the moment was that I needed to keep in touch with them as long as possible.
"Bella? Can you hear me?"
Yes, I tried to say, but my voice was almost non- existent, so I nodded.
I heard a sigh that was heaved from a chest I did not recognize- at least, anymore.
I felt tears at the corners of my eyes, but I blinked them away. I wouldn't show them weakness right now- I had a few more months for that. At least, right now I think I did.
Maybe I didn't. But life is really just a big guess. No one knows what's going to happen.
Wow, that was angsty. I just hate going back to school.
