When I'm With You

Chapter twenty-two

    "I'm so sorry Macy but It's back and unfortunately its spread to the rest of your organs and one by one they will begin to shut down" 

    "what does that mean?" Camille asks 

    "It means I'm dying mom" 

    "don't talk like that" Camille replies glaring daggers at her daughter, she sighs and grabs her mothers hand squeezing it tightly while she listens to the doctor's painful words

    "what do we do now?" 

    "we can continue chemo, or we could have her on the transplant list and what for a viable kidney, because right now that's what she needs the most" 

    "ok then let's do it!" Camille yells frustrated that nothing is being done

    "ok we will get her on the list as soon as possible, Macy for now we are gonna have to have you go home and get a lot of rest no activity ok?" the doctor asks her

    "ok" she nods 

"we'll see you in a few days for a blood test ok?"  Macy nods and her and Camille leave the hospital with tears streaming down both of their faces. All she wanted was Charlie, but unfortunately, he was at school. She had made him miss too much so she texted him asking him to come over after and she lays on the couch waiting for the time to tick by.  A few hours later a knock on the door is heard throughout the deadly silent Grey household and Camille gets up opening it to see Charlie, she lets him in and her smile instantly drops when she sees Macy walking towards him.

     "what the hell are you doing?" she asks

    "I'm gonna go to the lake with Charlie" 

    "no you heard the doctor today he said you need rest!"

    "I'll meet you in the car Charlie" she whispers in his ear, he nods and walks out of the house leaving the two Greys at the doorway. 

    "no you are going to bed" 

"I think it's ok to hang out with my boyfriend for a couple of hours, I'm dying anyway" Macy spits angrily before she can react Camille sends a tight slap to her face and she gasps at the sting. She moves her hand to her cheek where she can feel a bruise forming, Macy glares at her mother and walks out of the house ignoring her mother's pleas and apologies, and gets into Charlie's car. 

"lets go to our place, I could use some fresh air" she says, Charlie nods and examines the mark on her cheek but decides against asking her about it as she has clearly had a rough day. They arrive to their special place shortly after and sit down on their favorite rock. Macy looks up at him and pulls the boy into a kiss, wanting to forget about her horrible day and feel his lips on hers. 

    "its back isn't it?" he asks after pulling away and catching his breath

    "yeah" 

    "its gonna be ok Macy" 

"I know" she mumbles, the girl wanted desperately to tell him the truth about her current health but she didn't want to ruin the moment. It was rare that she felt good enough to go out, she wanted to enjoy this moment because she knew that they were limited.
