The Head Cheerleader 8 NOT FINISHED

Reaching room 117 Nicole stopped. Hand resting on the knob trying to decide whether or not to go in. The faint buzz of the machines was heard. Leah's hands wrapped around her waist. What was going to be behind this door? Slowly turning the knob she pushed the door open as Leah's hands fell from her waist. Mr. Meadows sat in a chair his head bent over as if he was looking at the floor. Holding his wife hands. Lips moving but nothing come out.1

"Dad!" Nicole choked out.2

Looking up at her, she could see the tears in his eyes. 3

"There's no news...They're doing the tests."4

Nicole sinked back against Leah. Her rock solid body moved slightly.5

"Oh my God this is all my fault."6

Mr. Meadows got up.7

"Nicole this is not your fault at all."8

He grabbed her and took her into his arms.9

"It's not your fault. You couldn't have done this or anything to prevent it. There's just something that I got to tell you. It's just too hard. I don't know how to say it."10

"What are you talking about? Is everything alright? What the hell is going on?"11

"Honey calm down let me finish. It's just that I don't know how to say it. Your mother wanted to tell it to you sooner but I just couldn't."12

The light in the hallway turned dark. A figure was in the door. All three bodies turned to see Dr. Keith Andrews standing there.13

"Excuse me for interrupting. The tests are done. Will you please follow me?"14

Leah look at Nicole her face frozen in terror. What is the news? Leah took Nicole's hand and held it tightly in hers. They followed the doctor down a long hallway. The tiles whit with freckles of brown. All doors had name tags reading: Dr. Olive Manor OBGYN, Dr. Sheila Williams Pediatrics, and Dr. Keith Andrews door was on the right his read Illness, Treatment, and Cancer. Opening the door Leah saw the book shelves. They plagued the wall. Pictures of patients and families plastered the walls in which the book shelves weren't in the way. Three leather black chairs sat across from his desk. His big desk was full of papers and his name plate centered in the front of it.15

"Come on in and have a seat."16

Nicole moved slowly as if a zombie as Leah followed behind. They all sat down.17

"What's going on?" Mr. Meadows pratically shouted at Dr. Andrews.18

"Mr. Meadows please calm down. This is a serious matter. Your wife..." He looked at Nicole. "And your mother has a malignant tumor on both of her lungs. We are going to put her on the top of a donor's list. There's no guartunee when we will get one so would Nicole want to do it? You only need one lung to survive. The process is indeed a bit painful but it will pass in a day or two. On the third day you will get to go home. So Nicole would you want to do this?"19

"Dr. Andrews that can't be done."20

"What are you talking about?"21

Mr. Meadows eyes filled up with tears. 22

"She doesn't have the same blood type. She was adopted."23

Nicole sank back in her chair it was as if she was hit by a train. All of this was getting too much to bare.24

"I am A postive which means that I can't help my wife since she is O negative.
