A Little Bit Longer

Chapter 7

Marissa's pov

"I want you to begin where you found out!" Nick yelled.
"Two months ago. It was at a standstill. It was borderline benign. But there was something .. Small and cancerous. So my family kept it secret. And then you had to go and do what you're great at. I wasn't going to tell you something depressing when you were so excited ! You're basically my best friend Nick. I want you happy. You deserve happiness." I smiled and he placed his hand on my knee
"So do you" my heart raced. There he goes again, getting that stupid reaction out of me.
"God has other p-"
"No! Don't say that!" He shouted, I bit my lip and looked down.
"Im sorry.. But anyway.. So they found it and they wanted me to start chemo right away.. I wasn't having that. It was at a stand still why fix something if it's not broken. Well.. Now it's progressing. And I still didn't want to.. But my parents begged me. So Im home for today and tomorrow.. But then I start treatment.."
"I want you to call me every time. And I will try like hell to be there"
"Nick you don't have to. Don't worry. I have Aby. My parents. You do what you have to do" I smiled
"I have to be there for you. Im gonna go home. Talk to Joe facetime Kevin so I can see Alena. Im coming back. This isn't just a hospital friendship anymore" he smiled and hugged me tight

Nicks pov

I ran in the house and Joe looked to me.
"I need help!" I shouted and rubbed my face.
"What's wrong?" He asked and I crashed onto the couch
"Marissa has cancer.." I blurted out and he sat down looking to me
"What do you mean.. She.. What?" He looked upset himself.
"She has cancer.. She starts chemo Saturday.." I shook my head and wiped some fallen tears away.
"You do like her.." He whispered and I nodded
"And I have since the day she walked over to me and said 'hi Im Marissa Nesbitt. I have celiac. And colitis' with a grin on her face. Not even caring I was a Jonas Brother. And still to this day she doesn't care Im famous. The only thing she cares about is that Im happy.."

"How are you feeling sweetie?" My mom asked and I smiled
"Better. How did I go into shock.. I don't get it" I sighed
"It happens sometimes. Cold temperatures. Your insulin in your suitcase. We went on a plane. You haven't eaten. But we're at the best hospital in California." She hugged me
"I'll be okay for the show right?"
"Of course. Try walking around" she kissed my cheek and I walked around by myself I spotted a girl, way too cheerful to be in the hospital. I slowly walked towards her, but became too shy too fast. I went to walk away until I felt a tap on my shoulder.
"Hi I'm Marissa Nesbitt. I am 14. I have celiac, and colitis. This is practically my home. And you?" She grinned, winking a little at the 'and you' part.
"Hi.. Im uh.. Nick Jonas.. 15 Im a diabetic.." I barely got out and she giggled.
"I know who you are. Everyone does. It was nice meeting you" she walked back to her room looking back and smiling. That was it.. No autograph.. No picture. Just an introduction.. And shockingly, we became friends
--------------------------------

I facetimed Kevin and ended up crying, not only did I like her, I loved her. She was considered to be one of my best friends, but it was about time that she became more.
