I'm putting on shorts and the hospital gown, it's been so long since I've worn real clothes I think to myself as Rose picks me up and slides me into a wheelchair as we head to the Chemo Lab.

"I can walk, you know." I say rolling my eyes

"We do this every day Aleck." Rose sighs, "I know you can but we need you to save your energy, for getting better, and Chemo. Kay?" I nod and sigh

"Yeah..." I mutter "But it's not fair, everyone I know is having fun-" Rose cuts me off "We're hereeee" She sings I giggle and I roll my eyes. Rose slides me on to the hospital bed and turns on the Tv

"Dr. Lily is running a bit late but she'll be here soon." She tells me

"Do you want me to stay?" She asks looking up at me, and I nod.

"That'd be nice..." I smile

"Good. 'Cause if you said no..." She looks down

"You good..." I ask

"You wouldn't make it out of this lab!" She snaps flining her head too look at me her hair now in her face

"Haha, okay okay!" I laugh. We play patty cake and shame why we wait for the doctor.

"I'M HERE!!!" A british voice yells as they slam open the door their glasses falling off their face, a binder tucked in her right arm and a messy bun

"Ah! Dr. Lily! You're here." Rose smiled gently

"Yes...." She puffs out of breath "I'm here..." I giggle and I put my hand over my mouth

"No worries!" I reassure Lily

"Thanks....now let's start shall we?" She says shuffling towards the desk. She puts her binder on the desk and slumps into the chair. "Okay...so Aleck? That's your name right love?" She asks, typing at her keyboard, "Yep!" I nod "Great..Great.." She mutters, sliding her hand over to the mouse and she clicks on a file of some sort.

"Alright love, so it says here that you have a very rare blood cancer. Is that right?" She asks, looking at me. "I-uh- yes.." I nod, Rose pats my shoulder and whispers in my ear, "You're doing great." I nod and I smile.

"Okay, so you've been doing Chemo for 2 weeks now. That true love?" She asks, clicking away at her computer keyboard. "Yep." I mention nodding, She clicks her computer a few more times and then gets up.

"I'll be back. I have to get your pills and I'm printing something." She claps her hands, "Then we do blood work!" She leaves the room and shuts the door behind her.

"Yay." I say sarcastically, and I roll my eyes as Rose laughs
