Give me up.
Chapter 1
Doctor Maher awkwardly wrapped her arms around me as I began to cry. She must give out bad results every day but she'd give them to a family or a couple, there would be somebody to console the person receiving the bad news. However I had gone on my own, nobody even knew about my little trips to the hospital or the growing concern I'd had for myself over the past couple of weeks.
After a minute or so of crying on Doctor Maher's shoulder I pulled away, I grabbed the papers with my results and the further action needed to be taken and hastily left the room in silence.
I had no intention of telling anybody about this and as my thoughts lingered on Frank the tears sprung to my eyes again. How would I ever tell him?
Back at home I hid the papers under my pillow and took a seat at the dining table. I'd hide them properly but right now I simply didn't have the energy, I felt drained, exhausted. My stomach growled, alerting me that it wanted food but no matter what I made I felt sick, just the sight and smell of the food would make me vomit. This had led to me losing around two stone. I had barely eaten for the past four weeks but it wasn't strikingly obvious as my wardrobe consisted of baggy t-shirts which hid my skinny body. I hadn't been sleeping either, although I found myself increasingly tired the pain I felt was stopping me from sleeping for more than two hours. Before I knew what was happening I had passed out.
When I came around I had traveled from the dining room into the living room, I found myself sprawled out on the sofa with my head resting in Frank's lap, his fingers were brushing through my bleach blonde hair and look of concern was attached to his beautiful face.
"Mikey..." he breathed out in relief as he noticed my eyes flutter open, "are you okay?" he pulled me up to face him. I let out a heavy, exhausted sigh and focused on Frank.
"I'm fine, just fell asleep," I smiled a little and pushed back the hair that was flopping in my face.
"Don't lie to me, you look...you look really ill, Mikey," I felt a little panicked but knew I had the ability to wriggle my way out of this.
"I feel a little sick, but I had that left over takeout earlier, probably didn't heat it proper, I'm tired too, I might go to sleep," it's true that I felt tired. My eyes felt heavy and everything ached when I moved.
"I'll take you to bed," Frank half smiled and lifted me from the couch bridal style. I clung to him with my increasingly skinny and weak arms as he carried me into the bedroom. Frank was starting to notice that there is something wrong with me and I'd do anything to make him think otherwise. I'm terrified of finally telling him. Frank pulled back the covers and lay me on the bed, he pulled my shoes off and covered me to my chin with the warm quilt. Before I could say, 'goodnight,' or, 'I love you,' I had fallen asleep.
I felt refreshed when I woke up, pain still lurched through my body with every movement but still, the sleep had made it somewhat better. I made it into the living room prepared to try and eat something, I couldn't starve myself, even though it makes me incredibly nauseous I need food to live. I rub the sleep out of my eyes and look at Frank who is curled up in a corner of the couch, his eyes were red and it looked like he'd been crying. His knees were pressed against his chest and he was staring off into the distance.
"Frank?" my voice comes out as worried and shaky, his gaze turns to me and he starts to cry. As quickly as I can I stumble over to the couch and wrap my arms around his shaking body.
"What's wrong?" I hold him out at arms length and wipe away his warm tears with my thumb.
"When were you going to tell me, Mikey?" he sobs.
"Tell you what?" I ask uneasily, Frank reaches out to the coffee table and picks something up, he presses a piece of paper against my chest that I anxiously look at.
"When were you going to tell me that you have cancer, Mikey?"
