Falling for Cancer girl

Chapter 1

Emily's pov

I hurried out of the doctor's office and got back to school. I just couldn't deal with this. It just wasn't true there was no way in hell I had cancer. I did everything right. I never got in any trouble. No, that woman was wrong. Maybe if I just ignored it then it would all just go away.

I hurried into class and set down. Great I forgot this was the class I had with the notorious bad boy Zane. Dang he looked really good today. Yea I know how cliché the good girl think's the bad boy is super-hot. I looked over at him to notice that he was looking at me what the hell is that all about. I stopped looking at him and started paying attention to what the teacher was saying.

"Ok class this year I will be pairing you up into groups of two and you will be working with that person all year long so just deal with it since your grade depends on it. When I call your names please go over to your partner."

I heard her go through a long list of names wondering who I would be stuck with. Then I heard her call out Zane's name I wonder who the poor unfortunate person was getting stuck with the bad boy. I looked up to see him standing right in front of me.

"Um what do you want?"

"Didn't you hear the teacher? You're my partner."

"No, I didn't. Um ok."

I could not deal with being this close to the bad boy every day along with everything else I had going on. There was just no way in hell.

"So, I guess we should get started with this questioner about each other."

"Yea we should where do you want to set?"

"In the back over there is fine."

I should have known the bad ones always wanted to set in the back for some reason. The last thing I wanted to do was tell Zane anything about me or my life, but I guess I had no choice. We finished the questioner and surprisingly it wasn't so bad. I now knew his favorite color, food, and what he wanted out of life.

I was kind of shocked to hear he wanted to be a doctor. I never thought he cared about anything. I looked into his deep brown eyes and he smiled at me. Wait what? The sexy bad boy actually smiled at me. What the hell was going on? Maybe the cancer has gotten to my brain already.

I really needed to go home and talk to someone about this maybe get a second opinion. I just don't want anyone to make a fuss about all of this. I defiantly didn't want any one at school to get word of this it would spread like wildfire, and I couldn't handle the pity in everyone's eyes.

Chapter 2

Zane's pov

Well, my favorite teacher just made my life a whole lot easier. My mom's a doctor and she want to be friends with her patient so that she will go and get the help she needs. Normally I wouldn't give a crap, but the girl just so happens to be little miss good at everything that goes to my school. I agreed to it because I knew her and well, I always have kind of had this secret crush on her. We used to be friends when we were kids. Now I'm just the bad guy that chicks like her never go for.

So now I must gain her trust and fast before she gets any sicker than she already is. I don't know why she won't tell anyone. I mean who in their right mind finds out they have cancer run out on the doctor only to go and show up at school like nothing's wrong? It just doesn't make any sense. Well now that she's my partner all year I can keep a close eye on her. It'll also give me the excuse I need to hang out with her and call her. I just hope I can get her to go back and get help from my mom before it's too late.

I don't know what I would do if I lost her. Hell, she doesn't even know I give a crap about her. I smiled at her and she gave me a look as if she thought I was crazy. Maybe she just thought I was being nice to her because I was there when she collapsed, I don't know. I just need to get close to her so I can save her life.

If she wasn't so stubborn, she would just get the damn help she needs. I was usually the first one out if class when the bell rang but this time, I waited for Emily to get her stuff so I could walk out after her and maybe get a chance to talk to her.

"Um why do you keep looking at me like that?"

"I have no clue what you are talking about I was just waiting for you so we could set up a plan on when and what days we will get together after school to do our work. Also, I need your number that way if something comes up, I can let you know."

"Oh, um ok."

She put my number in her phone while I gave her my number. I couldn't believe how easy this was.

"So about meeting up when are you available?"

"Well, I guess you could come over tonight since we have a paper due tomorrow, and we didn't get to it yet."

"Ok sounds good I could give you a ride home if you need one."

"Wont that ruins your bad boy image being seen with me. And you know how many rumors will be going around if we're seen riding home together?"

"First off I don't care about my reputation and second since when I care about rumors. People will always talk it's just how they are, but if your too good to be seen with me then fine. Just call me and let me know when or if you want me to come over. Bye."

I know that was a little harsh but damn she pissed me off. She acted like I was just some loser that she would be embarrassed to be seen with.

"Hey Zane, I'm sorry I didn't mean it the way it came out I just didn't want your gf to get mad by all the rumors that will most likely be floating around."

"Thanks, but I don't have a gf so if you want a ride just txt me at the end of school and I will give you one if not just let me know when a good time to come over is."

"Ok I'd actually like a ride home if, you're sure."

"I'm sure just meet me by my car when you're done. You do know what I drive don't you?"

"Yea I do ok see you after school then."

I walked off and had to stop myself from smiling like a fool. I don't know what I am going to do about this girl if she's already got me acting like a lovesick fool. All I know is that I couldn't be without her, so I needed her to get better and fast.

Chapter 3

Dr. Lily's pov

I really hope my son can convince Emily to come back. I know she's scared but we need to talk about treatment right away before the cancer can progress any more than it already has. I would call her parents and talk to them, but she is allowed to make her own decisions I don't know why her parents put it that way on her chart. Hell, I've never even met her parent's and my fiancée has been her doctor since she was younger.

Right now, she is going to need all the help she can get so I really hope her family will help her get through this. I know asking my son to get close to her is wrong and against policy, but she's sick and she needs to get help soon. Or she could die, and I knew my son cared for her. I think they are both what the other one needs.

So yes, not only am I trying to be a good doctor but I'm trying to play match maker as well. I only hope that she gets better because I don't know what my son will do if she were to die. Maybe I didn't think this one threw all the way. Maybe I should tell my son just to back off before he gets any closer to her.

No, I couldn't do that the poor girl needed someone in her life. I just feel so guilty, but maybe it will all work out right in the end. My son is a good kid just very misunderstood I think a girl like Emily could bring out a side of him that he buried deep inside after his father died. That was one of the most painful times of our lives.

Me being an oncologist and watching my husband slowly fade away while knowing there was nothing any of us could do. I have learned to move on and even found love again. But Zane has never gotten over it, and now here I am forcing him to befriend a girl that has the same thing that killed his father.

He doesn't know what she has I was shocked that he didn't even ask. He just agreed to it with no questions asked. Maybe helping her will in turn help him get over the loss of his father and put everything behind him. I only hope this girl doesn't suffer the same fate as my husband did. Because I don't think Zane could handle losing anyone else, he cares about.

Losing someone you care about changes a person. Your heart never quite mends. It's like a hole that can never be filled. I don't want Zane to have to go through that again. I don't think he could come back from it a second time.

I am trying hard to do everything I can to help Emily. I just don't know how to make her see that she needs help. Right now, she is in denial, and that's a dangerous place to be. She needs to be strong in order to fight this.
