Killed by Cancer

Chapter 27

I had my radiotherapy. John took me because Mum had to go work. After the session, John took me to Starbucks to eat breakfast because I had not ate any. I didn't feel hungry at all but he insisted that I ate something. John bought me a grilled cheese toastie with roasted tomatoes and he bought himself a ham and cheese sandwich.

I only managed to eat less than a half before I felt full. I didn't want to eat. All I wanted to do was go sleep. These radiotherapy sessions are exhausting me out. I feel so tired all the time and I don't feel like eating at all. The doctor said it was normal time feel like that and that'd be one of the side effects.

"Can I go home and sleep for the rest of the day?" I said.

"Your Mum specifically told me to take you school, sorry chicken," he said.

"Can I have some KFC? I'd kill for some chicken," I said.

"At this time?" He asked, confused.

"On second thoughts, no, I feel sick," I said.

"Are you okay? Shall I take you home so you can sleep for a bit?" He asked.

"Just take me school," I said.

John dropped me off at school. I went to the smoker's room to see Tyler there. He was sat down and he was thinking. He had his feet up and he was thinking deeply about something as he hadn't acknowledged my presence.

"Ahem," I said, trying to get his attention.

He jumped and looked at me. He gave me a big smile. He patted on the space next to him and I walked towards him and sat down on the table. He put his arm around me and I rested my head on him.

"What are you thinking about?" I asked him.

"Just everything," he said.

"Anything in particular?" I asked.

"Just everything," he repeated before sighing.

I yawned feeling extremely tired.

"Are you tired?" He asked.

"Yeah, these radiotherapy sessions are tiring the heck out of me," I said.

Tyler jumped off the table and took off his bag. He put his backpack on the table next to us. He then took off his jacket. He told me to lie down on the table. I got off the table I was sitting on and lied down on the table he directed me to lie on.

"My bag has a jacket in so it should be soft just like a pillow," he said.

I was lying down on the table, my head resting on his bag as it acted as a pillow. He then put his jacket on top of me and it acted as a blanket. His jacket was comfy and it smelt nice which made it comfortable. My eyes struggled to stay open and I drifted off to sleep.

I woke up and saw Tyler sitting on a chair and he was just looking at me but he was in a sort of daze. He blinked and came out of his daze. I stretched my arms whilst yawning.

"How long was I asleep for?" I asked.

"Just over an hour," he said.

I swung my legs off the table and got up. I handed him his backpack and tied his jacket around my waist.

"Hey, that's my jacket," he said.

"It kind of matches my outfit," I said.

He rolled his eyes. I checked my phone to see the time.

"Shall we grab some lunch seeing as it's lunch in like two minutes?" I asked him.

He nodded and we headed to the canteen. The bell rang and students began to head to the canteen. When we got our food, we headed to our table and Kylie was already sat there with Dean and Landon. We sat and down and discussed the trip.
