Jeremiah and Jerome Valeska ~ 9
❗️ WARNING ❗️ HOSPITAL TRAUMA ❗️
I was a Hospital child growing up, I always ended up in hospital somehow, if it wasn't my chest infections causing me to need oxygen since I was unable to breath or it was me just hurting myself harshly by accident. I wasn't until I was maybe 11? That I found out I had cancer, that was the worse thing to ever hear. I suppose you don't think about it fully until you realise it's YOU that's the one that has it, sure you may know what it is and how damaging it can be but you don't fully take it in.
I almost died, because of all this it was scary, leaving me with heavy trauma, fear of anything to do with the hospital. Sure you get used to it but you still have that taunting voice at the back of your mind leading you to be inner scared of it all, experiencing one thing and never wanting to feel it again and when the chance comes where they have to do it again you panic, fear it. It never leaves your mind.
However now I was starting to get better, after a year or 2 of endless torture, medical examinations everyday and hospital stays and trips I was free, only needing checkups to check I was alright. I hung out with people who looked after me which was strange to say who they are. Jeremiah and Jerome had seen me in a hospital that had invaded and held hostage to get themselves cleaned up and patched up after a fight with another elite. I wasn't scared, I'd lost the effect of looking scared always putting up a brave face but crumbling on the inside. They noticed that and found it amusing, wanting to know more.
After a few visits from them, not like they were actually invited or aloud in, in the first place they started to share their experiences. I slowly started to know more about them, behind the brave faces and strong exterior they had up. They were damaged just like me but in different ways, sure I had mental issues but it wasn't Hardly as bad as theirs I couldn't imagine going through that. To say they were twins they went through their abuse differently, went about their trauma differently, solved things very differently.
Soon enough I was like an extra family member, I was looked after by them, helped, they protected me. And the best thing was, the comforted me in ways I didn't know was possible, I was happy with the way my life was, for the first time in a while.
_______________________________
I wanted to write this imagine because I'm going through cancer and wanted to share with those who might be going through the same, or even those who didn't fully know how a person with cancer may feel, maybe even those who already know but want to know deeper.
I put the warning there because just incase people don't want to remember how they felt or even want to know how horrible cancer can be!
