Not So Much Of A Plan

"I am really sorry Miss Perez but she has stage 4 leukemia" I stared at the doctor wondering if she was talking to some else because I was sure she was not talking about Sophie. "Mam are you still with me, I know this might come as a shock to you………." "Are you sure you holding the lab report of Sophie, you might have gotten the test mixed up" I collected the paper from her and saw the name Sofia Perez boldly writing at the top "But how is this possible I should have been able to see the sign, this is the fourth stage f**k" I bursted out in anger "The way our bodies react varies, Some people they will have started showing the symptoms from the beginning but her hormones are very strong they tried to suppress it that was why we are just...." The doctor was literally blabbing to me as I kept thinking how the hell she has cancer. It can't be, Sophie is the strongest girl I know. "ehmmmmm how bad is it" I asked stopping her from the usual doctor's bad new speech which I have to say is a load of crap "It is not that bad...." "Please can you spare me all of that and just tell me the honest truth I don't have time for buttetcoated words" I said too stressed out to be toyed with "If you insist it is actual very bad, I have to say she is one strong girl to have been able to hide it till now. But she needs to go under therapy real quick because this is a very crucial stage" she handed the files to a nurse as we walked back to Sophie's room "How many months quick? "If you want her to have a smooth therapy I advise she started next week" "Wow isn't that too soon How much is each therapy session" "Not at all if she starts her chemo early she will finish early In fact I strongly advise you not to allow this month to end before she starts and the whole therapy will cost around $98000 but I'm not really sure about the price it keeps fluctuating but you can ask the receptionist on you way out" Wow hold one I know I asked for the honest truth but could she not have at least waited till we got to her office to say the cost So much for been blunt "f**k that is almost 100 grands" I looked at her through the transparent door, she looked really pale "I know this is a lot to take in but she need to start her chemo early and in here we also allow half payment policy, We can start with that" she went in to check on her. "All her vitals are stable she can leave today but don't forgot what I said Miss Perez. The nurse will get back to you real quick" she adjusted her drip and left the room. Where the hell am I going to get 100grands in less than 2 weeks I thought as my phone rang "Hey b***h are you forgetting something" "Xian? "Yeah you are right it is Xian your GGBF who you promised lunch with this morning I went over to your office and Lisa told me that you ran off about like 2 hours ago and you know how much I hate talking to that girl she just kept hitting on me Where the f**k are you? Xain ranted into my ears, I didn't even realize I had spent that much time in the hospital and when the hell will she let him off her hook. Lisa she is the secretary at my place of work. "Eh you dicklover..... "Ahhhhhh!!!" I saw some mother covering their children's ear "f**k thanks a lot asshole if glare could kill I'm sure I would have been dead by now" "Eh what did I do I'm just an innocent guy who is about to miss his lunch break and seriously where the hell are you? "I'm at the hospital..." "So you finally decided to do that blood donation s**t you were talking about" "No i***t you know I have a phobia for needles I came....." "Yeah keep telling yourself" "Argh would you at least allow me to finish what I'm saying f**k what type of dumbass are you Sophie is in the hospital she has leukemia" Gosh that i***t just know how to piss someone off "Can you stop shouting I can hardly... Wait did you just say Sophie is in the hospital. Oh my d**k am on my way" Good for him I was trying to break down the news to him in a more gentle way but he just had to piss me off. "I hope he gets here in one piece though I know how much he loves Sophie. He even calls her his twin" I was at the edge of both laughing and crying as I thought of how I was going to get that much money. I will try asking for an advance payment from my boss and if that doesn't work I will try the bank or even the... I was in interrupted by the banging of the hospital door and the screaming of a very piss off parent "Nurse what is the Sofia Perez room number" "Sir how are you related to the patient" The nurse asked clearly terrified by him "Hold up did he just say Sofia" I looked closer to the man's face and realized that that was Xian. "This is not going to end well at all" I stood up from my chair and walked up to them. "Do you think I will bang in here looking so bothered if I wasn't related to her. She is my twin" He said flashing his famous playboy smile. "But sir the patient is just 13 years and you are lot older than her" she confusedly said. "Are you trying to say that I am old? He asked looking hurt. "No sir you are not at old I mean..." "Xain can you stop creating an unnecessary scene. He is with me, I will take it from here" I dragged him by his ear from the nurse whose face was as red as a tomato. "Ah Ah Can you stop pulling my ear it hurts" he whined. "Can you stop acting like a kid God I already have one sick kid in my hands I don't have the strength for another" we sat down and all the tears i have been holding up came out. "Xian I don't know what to do" I sobbed on him as he hugged me. "Don't worry everything will be fine" Xain comforted me as we both embraced in silence.
