| Chapter 4 All eyes were on Nick. He could here his mother already silently crying off to the left of him. His stomach twisted as each gasp of air came from Jane. �I have something to tell you.� He said quietly. All attention on him, he continued. � A few months ago, I had gone to the doctor. � He stopped. Looked around the room and told a deep breath before continuing. �There�s no easy way to say this but....I have cancer.� Loud gasps and silent �what?� s ere heard around the room. �H-How? When?� AJ managed to choke out. Nick looked at him thinking on the reply that should be given. �I have a tumor, on the left side of my brain. I had been going threw some chemotherapy and radiation treatments since I've found out.� He said, swallowing the sob that threaten to come out of him. �Why didn�t you tell us sooner?� Robert, his father asked him. Nick looked at his father, once again searching for an answer. �I had told BJ, once I found out. SO that I could have someone to help me to and from appointments. I wasn�t even going to tell you, but the treatments weren't working. � He replies. even more surprised sounds and looks were around the room. �A-A-Are you dying?� Howie chocked out, ears falling fast and freely down his face. � The Doctor wants me to check into the hospital, to begin aggressive threatens.� Nick said. Almost too quietly for anyone to hear. After a few minutes of not talking, Nick broke the silence. �I brought you here to tell you, so you can be prepared.� He stopped a moment. Eyes from around the room urging him to continue. � I want to hold a press conference and tell the world.� He finished. �NO!� Kevin yelled, getting up and pacing back and forth across Nick�s room. � No we will not have you fight this in public. There�s no way.� �Kevin, you don�t have a choice, this is for me to make the decision , not you. I'm the one fighting this disease, not you.� Nick stated getting hysterical. BJ was trying to calm him down, but failed as he got up quickly and walked over to Kevin and looked him right in the eye. �I'm the one fighting, I'm the one whose sick. I'm the one who is dying, and I feel it�s easier to have everyone know then to try to hide it.� Nick finishes. His check rising and falling quickly as he tried to catch is breath. A wave of dizziness came over him as he stood there. BJ ran to him as he collapsed to the floor. �Get out!� she shouted to them all. Chapter 5 Chapter 3 Table Home |
