Nick's P.O.V.
Leu-ke-mi-a-(n) blood cancer: an often fatal cancer in which white blood cells displace normal blood, leading to infection, shortage of red blood cells anemia, bleeding, and other disorders.
Also known as, the word that tore my world apart. My name is Nick Jonas, and I just recently found out my girlfriend, Isabella, has Leukemia. When she called to tell me, I stopped breathing, I thought I would choke. I thought, you can't be serious! What did Isabella, so pretty and quiet and sweet, do to deserve this? The worst part about it is, I'm not there with her, because I'm miles away on tour. I've been having these crazy awful dreams about her dying while I'm not there. Joe and Kevin are here to talk to, but even though they try, they cant really understand what I am feeling. Sometimes I dont even understand it! There are times when I cry so hard, I don't think I'll be able to stop. Other times I just feel numb. Now, I have to act all excited and pumped for thousands of screaming fans. When all I really want to do is hold my baby while she bears this god-awful disease.
Isabella's P.O.V.
So about a week ago, I found out I had Leukemia. See, I had been finding all these weird bruises all over my body, and couldn't remember bumping into anything. At first I dismissed it, but then it started to freak me out. So I finally showed my mother and father and they took me to the hospital. The doctor ran some tests and unfortunatley, diagnosed me with Leukemia. My mother nearly passed out when the doctor announced it. I could tell she was terrified by how pale her face was. I'll admit, I was scared too. But not of dying or of pain. I really actually like the idea of being in heaven with God. I was afraid of breaking my family's heart if I died. I was afraid that I would break my boyfriend Nick's heart too. I told him just a few days ago. Mom's reaction was bad,but Nick's was worse. I had to call him from the hospital because he is on tour. I thought it would be easy telling him, but I was so very, very wrong.
Our Coversation
Nick-Hello beautiful, hows it going? I hear its wonderful, in Kentucky. He always sings that to me, substituting Kentucky for California because that's where I live. I swallowed hard, I hated myself for being about to crush him.
Me-Hey baby! What's up? I miss you! What? Where did those words come from? I scolded myself for not just getting it over with-but then again maybe it was better to take it slow.
Nick-Bella is something wrong? You sound upset. How did I not know that Nick would know something was wrong, even over the phone?
Me-Actually, yes and please dont be alarmed but.. I pause. swallow again.
Nick-Go on
Me-Well you know those weird bruises I kept finding?
Nick-uh-uh
Me-Well my parents took me to the hospital to have some tests done-and I had to choke the last words out-Nick, I have leukemia.
I hear a noise like he is trying to catch his breath or something. A lump lodges in my throat.
Nick-Oh, Bella Very, very softly. Then, the line goes dead. I throw myself down on Hospital bed and sob.
So whatcha think? Warning, if your not the type for tear jerkers, dont read. Feedback please!
