*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Maria DeLuca was sitting in a chair in her doctor's office. She knew
this had to bad because if it wasn't the doctor would not have called
her in to talk to her. She was just worried about how bad it was going
to be.
After going over her paper, Doctor Ramlal spoke. "I am sorry to tell
you this Miss DeLuca," she began, "but you have liver cancer." She
finished.
Maria was in shock. How could she have cancer? It does not run in her
family, and not one person in her family has ever had any type of
cancer.
"Are...are you sure?" she asked stuttering because she was in shock.
"Yes Miss DeLuca I am sure. I am very sorry."
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Three days have past since she found out that she has cancer. She has
not left her house, or told anyone. The two people that she wants to
tell the most are away. Michael Guerin, her on and off boyfriend for
the past five years is no where to be found. And her best friend, Liz
Parker is away in Spain for a exchange program. She doesn't even have
a number for her yet because she just left a day ago.
I have other friends besides them. She told herself. Why don't I call
them.
Alex Whitman her best boy bud moved to Maryland with his family during
their senior year of high school and they lost touch. Isabel and Max
Evans were in Chicago visiting family.
Wait, she told herself, Max came home early, I can do to him.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Max was at his computer when he heard the doorbell ring. He was in the
middle of writing a paper for his microbiology class.
Who could be here? He asked himself.
When he got up he went to the door to open it. He saw Maria there. She
looked horrible. She looked like she has not had any sleep in days. He
is worried for her.
"Maria, what are you doing here?" he asked.
"Max can I come in?" she asked already coming in the door.
"Why not?" he said as he watched her take a seat on his couch. "So
like I asked before, why are you here?"
Maria was quiet. Did she really want to tell him?
Maria finally spoke up. "Max...I...I have cancer." She felt like a
weight has been lifted off her chest.
