Chapter Fourteen: Bad News

Dying Inside:

Chapter 14:

Annaliese’s POV:

I felt my whole world shatter as soon as those words left the doctor’s mouth. I can’t believe I need a lung transplant; the chance of living after is good but not great. I looked at my mother as she cried. “Mom, it’s OK.” I said to her and patted her shoulder. She sniffed and dabbed her eyes with the tissue. “I know this is a difficult time. I will give you two some time before having a talk with what’s the next step.” He said to us before leaving. I sighed and ran a shaky hand through my hair. “I can’t believe this is happening.” I whispered to myself before getting down from the bed. Mom got up and hugged me as tight as she could. I hugged her back tightly and held onto her shirt, not wanting her to let go. “I’m so scared.” She said to me. “I’m scared too.” I whispered back.

After the doctor’s appointment, my mom took me to Panera Bread and we took the food home with us. I got Chicken Tortellini Alfredo and a French Baguette. I took it up to my room and sat on the floor with my laptop. I logged onto Netflix and clicked on Unfabulous. A lot of my life is like her, she is very unlucky but she always has her friends and family with her like me. I took a picture and posted it on Instagram with the caption

@ayooanna: tuesday afternoon lunch date

 

I laid my phone near my side and started eating.

When I finished, I threw my bowl away and took my medicine. I grabbed my laptop and laid on my bed when my phone vibrated. I picked it up to see a text from Zoe.

omg we need an emergency oovoo chat

 

I turned off Unfabulous and logged onto my Oovoo account. When I saw Zoe was online, I clicked onto her profile and she popped onto the screen. “Hey!” she smiled. “Hey.” I smiled back and put my hair into a messy top bun. A few minutes later, Delaney and Scotland joined onto the chat. “Tell us what’s going on.” Zoe said to me and I sighed. I told them everything from when I started not breathing well to when I went to the doctor today. “When do you have your meeting with the lung transplant people?” Laney asked me. “In a few days, I have to be really careful when I do soccer practice and stuff like that.” I said and they nodded. “I’m praying for you.” Scotland said and I nodded. “I’m just really scared. I really hope a miracle happens. Most of the time the lung transplants work but they do backfire sometimes.” I said to them. “I’m sure yours will make you feel so much better.” Zoe said and I nodded, tears gathering in my eyes. “I’m so happy to have friends like you.” I wiped my eyes. “Stop, you’re going to make me cry.” Scottie wiped her eyes carefully. “See Anna, you always get everyone started!” Zoe joked before wiping her eyes. I giggled softly and sniffed. “I’ll see you guys at school.” I said and they waved before ending the chat. I turned off my laptop and put on my pajamas before lying down and going to sleep.

*5 Days until Concert*

I woke up and stretched until my bones popped. I slowly sat up and fixed my plugs so they let the air flow free into my nose. I walked to my closet and picked out a burgundy sweatshirt with Los Angeles on it in white letters, high waisted blue jean shorts and white converses. I took a shower, brushed my teeth, and got dressed. I walked downstairs and saw Mama cooking breakfast. I did my morning breathing treatment and walked into the kitchen. “Morning Anna.” She said to me as I sat at the breakfast bar. “Morning.” I said to her and played on my phone. “I talked to your school this morning and they’re going to put you on Homebound Thursday.” She said and I nodded. I knew it would be a matter of time before they put me on Homebound from going to the hospital all of the time and staying out sick, i knew it would happen. Carlee and McKenna walked downstairs and sat beside me as we started eating. When we all finished, mama gathered us all up and we left.
