A Bit of Hope (Louis Tomlinson Fanfiction)
Chapter 1
"Are you going to be alright going by yourself? Because El, I can go with you!" My worried mum asked before I walked out the door.
"Mum, I'm going to be fine! I'm going to be eighteen soon! I need to be able to do this on my own," I said with a slight smile.
She nods and fixed my beanie to hide the patches. She gives me a good look down, while tears swell in her eyes. She hugs me, holding for dear life.
"Be careful out there, I love you," she says a little choked up.
I smile, "I love you too, mum. I'll call you when I get there."
I open our redwood door and walk out. I pull the door closed, and hold the handle for a few seconds. I get back into focus and rush to my car. I quickly put my keys into the ignition, buckle up, and leave my little drive way. I look out my window to see my mum in the doorway, then drive away.
London is a pretty big city, if you weren't familiar with it, you would be lost. Unlike me, who has lived here since I was four. Taking long highways and short cuts to get to my location, I arrive in as little as twenty minutes. I park in the usual parking garage and cut the engine. I take a deep breath in and out, then finally walk out of my car. I walk to the elevator, and pressed the level 4 button riding my way up. I get out and walk to the front desk.
"Hello Ella, the nurse will be out in a moment to get you," The receptionist said quite happily with a big smile on her face.
I nod and go sit in the uncomfortable waiting room chairs. I'm glad I am not the only one in here, there is an elderly couple and a women with a younger son. As I wait, I watch the small provided TV in the waiting room. About ten minutes had past by, and I still hadn't been called back. Suddenly the door opens, and a women stands in the door way.
"Ella Crane?" She said with a big smile on her face.
I look over and see that it wasn't my usual nurse. So I get up and walk over to meet her. She was very pretty, dark brown hair, and an athletic body.
"Where is Jennifer? She is usually my nurse," I said with confusion.
"She got transferred to a different hospital, so now you're stuck with me! My name is Johannah Tomlinson, and I'll be your nurse for a while," She said as she directed me into the usual room.
"Great," I say under my breath. I look around and see all the men, women, and children here today. A lot of them are hooked up to IV's and looking lifeless. Is this how I'm going to look later on? I cringe to get the thought out of my head, and sit in the comfy recliner.
"Alright Ella, I'm going to take some vitals and then put in your IV," Johannah said with a smile.
She grabs her cart, and laid everything out. She took my temperature, blood pressure, and took me to get my weight checked. Everything seemed to be normal, besides losing another 6 pounds. At the beginning I wasn't tiny by any means, I was a curvy girl weighing about 125 pounds. When I weighed myself today, I was down to 104. I sigh as we go back to my chair, and get my IV set up. She finds my usual port, and places in the IV. She then attaches the bag of Chemo and lets the machine do its work.
"Not to be nosey, but what kind of cancer do you have?" She said with concern on her face.
"I got diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer," I said quickly.
She quickly gives me a hug, "You are so brave, I don't think I could do it if I were you!"
I smile, "I'm a trooper, at first I was really upset, but now I'm just embracing it full on. Its my life now."
She smiles, and starts cleaning up her mess, and I put my headphones in. All of a sudden, a tall boy with a mask comes walking into the room. He was pretty cute, his shaggy chocolate brown hair and his piercing blue eyes, he was nearly perfect. He walks over to Johannah and taps on her shoulder. She turns around, startled, and smiles.
"Hey, mum! How's work going!" He gives her a big hug.
"Well, its going absolutely great! Lou, I would like you to meet Ella, one of my patients," She points to me and gives me a big smile.
He takes my hand and shakes it, "Hello! I'm Louis, nice to meet you!"
I take my headphones out and nod, and say hello. They continue to talk and then walk away. He looked familiar, but I couldn't put a grasp on who he was. I forget about it, and put my headphones back in to listen to music. I put on some soothing Ed Sheeran, and drift to sleep.
I easily get woken up by a tap on my shoulder. Johannah is standing there waiting for me to wake. I rub my eyes and smile.
"You chemo is finished, Hun! Lets just get a blood sample and then you could be on your way!"
She take out the IV and takes a sample of my blood. She caps the tube and sets it on her tray. She puts a band aid on the the prick where she took the blood and cleans up.
"You are all done El! I'll see you next Thursday!" She smiles and continues to clean up.
I put my iPod away, and grab my things. I head out of the hospital, on the unruly elevator to get to my car. I jump in and start the ignition. I quickly peel out of that parking garage to my next destination.
"Mum, I'm going to be fine! I'm going to be eighteen soon! I need to be able to do this on my own," I said with a slight smile.
