Was it love or all a lie?

Chapter 18

Rydel: What do you mean she will die?

doctor: Well we ran some test on her and it looks like she's dying

Ross: So? Don't you have faith in her?

doctor:(shakes his head) I'm sorry but no. I've seen some patients with this disease but Laura has it worse by far

Ross: So? At least give in some faith in her! You don't know what she's capable of! She will live through this no matter what your stupid machine's say!

Mark: Ross, enough

Ross:(sighs and walks to Laura)

Stormie: We are so sorry about him doctor. He just really cares for Laura

doctor:(nods) Understood

Riker: So she's gonna die?

doctor: From the looks of it, yes

everyone:(sad)

doctor: I'll leave you guys alone (walks out)

Stormie:(tears up) My poor baby (cries)

Mark:(hugs her)

Rydel:(cries too)

Riker:(hugs her tearing up too)

Rocky & Ryland:(holding it in)

Ryland: We're strong men, right Rocky?

Rocky: Um... yeah

Ryland & Rocky:(looks at eachother and cries hugging eachother)

Ross:(cries too) Laura I can't lose you, I just can't

Ross's POV/

I'm starting to lose faith now. I still have some but not as much as I did before the doctor told us that news. Why doesn't he have faith? They should at least have some faith not trust some stupid machine's. It's just stupid. I can't lose Laura, not from this stupid disease. I can't. Why? Why!? Why!? Why!? Why Laura?! Why my family! I already lost someone from this disease! I can't let this happen again! Please please please, just make her all well. Please!.. Who am I talking too? Myself probably. Well whatever. I just can't lose Laura. I wish it was me and not her.

A few more hours later

everyone:(but Ross) (asleep)

Ross:(just sitting on the floor against the floor thinking)

Laura:(slowly wakes up) Ross?

Ross:(stands up) Yeah?

Laura: What were you doing on the floor?

Ross: Just thinking

Laura: What about?

Ross: Um...

Laura: Ross (holds his hand) Just tell me. If it's about my health it's okay

Ross:(sighs) The doctor's have lost total faith in you. They say you're gonna... (tears up) die

Laura: Oh... (sad)

Ross: I'm sorry Laura

Laura: It's okay. I knew I was dying sooner or l8r

Ross: No. You're not gonna die

Laura: Ross, you heard the doctor's

Ross: I don't care. It doesn't matter what those rusted ole machine's say. Just believe and you'll get through anything

Laura:(smiles) That's sweet Ross (sighs) but let's face it. I'm dying

Ross: You won't die Laura. I know it
