"Hey, Bella. How ya doing?"

I look up to see Sarah, beckoning me back to the treatment rooms. She never fails to have a smile on her face. She is the one bright spot on what is an otherwise dismal day for me.

"Doing ok. Not too tired today." She waits patiently as I organize my stuff. I'm gonna be stuck to this chair for the next hour, I'm going to be comfy damn it.

Once I'm settled with my warm fleece blanket, my iPod and my latest book, I'm all set. She pulls down the top of my shirt to get to the IC catheter taped to my chest. She hooks up the tubing to the tubes coming from the bag of medicine and opens the valve.

"You're all set. I'll check on you in a little bit." She rubs my arm affectionately and walks away.

I find my mellow playlist and begin to read. Thirty minutes later she is changing out the bags and gives me some apple juice.

"How the stomach? Any nausea?" She starts to take my vitals as she talks.

"Nope, so far, so good." I slowly sip on the juice to lessen the chance of me hurling it back up later.

"Um, Alice will be a bit late picking me up. Think I can hang in the garden for a while? It's a nice spring day out there." I give her my best smile; I know she has a hard time saying 'no' to me.

She gives an exaggerated eye roll, "Ok, fine. But you stay in the chair." She gives me her best bitch brow. I know better than argue with that look.

"Ok..ok, fine, you win." Just then a wave of nausea hits and I close my eyes.

I feel her hand in mine, "Breathe through it Bella."

I match my breathing to hers, using it as my focal point. After a few minutes I open my eyes.

"Better?" She asks. I give her a weak nod and smile.

With one last squeeze of my hand she leaves me to my solitude.

Just then one of his songs starts to play. It's a bittersweet reminder of all the things that are now lost to me. A few tears escape as I mourn a future I can never have.

A/N: It's a bumpy ride... but hold one... one more...
