Okay guys I am so so so sorry I overreacted about last chapter…
And there should be no excuses for waiting two weeks after realising this to post a new chapter, but I am sorry this is what I did. I love my reviewers but right now I kinda have a writer's block. I know how I want this story to go but unfortunately I can't picture the minor details to if you have any ideas please send them in a review or private message not my msn (basically IM) (you guys can add me if want to but tell me that you're from FanFiction).
Guys I'm not sorry enough but I have to get on with chapter 6.
Please enjoy and vote on my poll 'because holidays are almost over and I'm going camping on Saturday.
Peace, love and Australia….
Recollection of the end of last chapter: (only doing this because I'm writing a follow on chapter)
Mitchie was woken up by the sound of his 'Gotta find you'
"Argh... who is texting me at 10:30?" complained Mitchie
"Shut it in there!" yelled Caitlyn from her room
"Sorry" Mitchie apologised as she rolled out of bed to see who had text her
From: Unknown Sender
794387376390 (a/n lol, random numbers)
Mitchie, Shane loves you and he misses you
He's sorry, forgive him
Chapter 6:
Chronic leukemia
"What the hell? Obviously this person isn't Shane and I don't have their number so how do they have mine? Maybe Shane's friend?" pondered Mitchie
"Keep your questions to yourself, they are keeping me up" exclaimed Caitlyn walking into Mitchie's room. "What's wrong?"
"Cait do you know this number?"
"Which number?" Caitlyn replied
"Hang on let me find it! Ah, here" Mitchie said handing her phone to her best friend
"Hmm…" Caitlyn wondered before getting her phone and going through her contacts list "umm nup"
Caitlyn being Caitlyn was curious as to why Mitchie would want to know about this number, so for the next hour they sat and contemplated those numbers
At 8 am Nate came into Mitchie's room to see both his girlfriend and Mitchie crashed on the bed. They were laying in such strange ways Nate thought they were killed. Well that as until Caitlyn yelled 'go away Nate can't you see we are sleeping'. With that Nate backed away ran downstairs to make breakfast, but not before performing the daily routine of leaving a voice message and a text on Shane's phone.
At 11 o'clock
I'm so sorry guys this would have been posted on Tuesday (Australian Eastern Standard Time) but right here I lost all internet coverage and I had to unplug my laptop. But you see the problem is my laptop needs to charge… but at 10 am Wednesday I am back to finish it off...
At 11 o'clock Mitchie had her first chemotherapy session. So Nate drove Mitchie and Caitlyn to the 'West Canola State Hospital' (is there even one probably not; just made it up) where the girls got out and walked inside. The receptionist directed them to the east wing. The sign next to the door read 'therapy ward'.
"Well this must be the right place" Mitchie said sadly as they walked inside.
"Mitch, it'll be fine"
By now Mitchie was silently sobbing on Caitlyn's shoulder. It was almost too obvious to Caitlyn how scared Mitchie was to have chemotherapy. She knew that Mitchie hated hospitals as it was. Mitchie's grandmother was due out of hospital on the 5th march 1998 but that morning she suffered a fatal heart attack. Mitchie was looking forward to seeing her grandmother before she left on vacation, but two of those things didn't happen; Mitchie didn't get to see her grandmother nor did she get the vacation she had so desperately wanted.
So when Mitchie's name was called by a nurse, Caitlyn grabbed Mitchie's hand letting her know that she was there for her. They followed the nurse into a small room. It had a large oak desk in the middle that took up half of the room, a bookshelf behind the desk and three small filing cabinets against the side wall of the room. The room was painted in a dark beige colour with photos of the surviving patients of this ward. 'Mitchie's photo is gunna be on that wall over there as well' Caitlyn thought.
The nurse took a seat and introduced herself "hi girls, I'm Dr. Rodregious. Mitchie you would have met Dr. Serah, am I correct?"
"Yes I have" a timid Mitchie replied
"Ok. Oh and sorry, you are?" Dr. Rodregious asked Caitlyn pointedly
"Mitchie's sister, Caitlyn" Caitlyn didn't think there would be anything wrong with that so she looked at Mitchie whose face matched Caitlyn's 'I'm about to laugh but I have to hold it in' face.
"Oh okay so we have two Torres'"
"Nah, the name's Gellar, Caitlyn Gellar" replied Caitlyn nearly busting out laughing at the doctors reaction.
"Hmm… I see. Now anyway Mitchie this going to be your first chemotherapy session…" Dr. Rodregious said trying to avoid the last name conversation. As the doctor talked Mitchie nodded and Caitlyn just looked out the window.
"well the good thing is that you only have chronic leukemia" this conversation got Caitlyn's attention, even though she believed that the doctor was treating it like chronic leukemia was good and Mitchie's life was not on the line "and sometimes we can treat chronic leukemia with just chemotherapy by itself but a bone a marrow transplant can be given to ensure a fairly successful cure."
"So what is the other type or types of leukemia that are worse?" Caitlyn asked curious
"Well you can have acute leukemia, where you have to be treated right away and the goal of the treatment is to remove all of the cancer and then you have therapy to keep the cancer away" explained Dr. Rodregious
"So how can you tell, you know if you have chronic or acute?" Caitlyn was getting very curious now; she looked over at Mitchie who looked like she was benefiting from Caitlyn's question asking. Caitlyn decided to stoping hating this doctor because she seemed to be warming up to Caitlyn. Until…
"With scientific reasoning that you obviously wouldn't understand" Caitlyn wasn't upset anymore she was angry she really hated this doctor.
"Okay so anyway what do we do now?" Mitchie asked trying to demolish the tension
"well I am going to give you a treatment schedule" the doctor hands Mitchie a piece of paper with dates of her next chemotherapy sessions and so on so forth.
"When you have chemotherapy you have a cycle. Yours will be chemo in week 1 followed by 3 weeks of rest. This is your monthly cycle." Explained the doctor
Later that day after a lot more questions such as: What does chemotherapy do? How does chemotherapy work?, How will I know if my chemotherapy is working?, How much does chemotherapy cost? Now that Shane wasn't around Mitchie wasn't sure how she would pay for it; Mitchie went into the chemotherapy room.
When she got out Caitlyn rang Nate to come and pick them up.
One the way home they got talking about the doctors and Caitlyn just had to say "Mitchie I really hate your doctor." They all laughed and rest of the ride was taken in a comfortable silence
When they arrived home Mitchie went to sleep and the other two decided to go and eat dinner at a restaurant.
About half an hour after the pair left and Mitchie fell asleep there was a knock at the door
Knock, knock, knock
Okay now I hate the ending but oh well...
This was filler that I'm not really happy with…
But please rate and review and also any ideas please
Vote on my poll cause holidays are nearly over
