Imperfection is Perfection

Chapter 2
 

"What...?!" I said to Dr. Blake, about to scream at the top of my lungs. She responded with, "Maybe we should get your mom in here so we can talk this out. There seems to be a slight problem." "Uhm okay... Is there something seriously wrong? What's happening?!" I said, almost begging for an answer. Dr. Blake says nothing, stands up, and walks out the door into the waiting room. It felt like the walls of the room were closing in on me, the corners of my eye sight started to close in with a black fuzz, and my stomach completely drops to the ground. I hear footsteps outside of the office, and in come my mom and Dr. Blake. "Have a seat, Martha." Dr. Blake says to my mom. She takes the seat right next to me, and smiles. "There seems to be something incorrect in the hip/rib cage area of her side. I think I may know what it is, but we will have to send the X-Ray results to a professional in this one field." Dr. Blake explains to my mom. "Oh, well what's the problem?" My mom says to Dr. Blake with a worried look on her face. "Well, according to the X-Rays, there seems to be...well...a tumor forming." My face went numb. My eyes began watering, and my teeth started to chatter. Me, the most popular girl in the school, has a tumor. What is going to happen to me? To my life? My life is over. Done.
"A tumor? Well what kind of tumor?! Cancerous, or what?! What's going to happen? Will she live?!" My mom began questioning. "Yes, yes, yes this is completely curable. Well, as curable that Cancer will let it be. Cancer is so unpredictable, you know. You never know what will happen." Dr. Blake said to us. "Luckily, the tumor is not even fully formed, and it has not spread. We caught it quick enough so that hopefully after some surgery, therapy, and medication, she will be good as new." "Well, when will this surgery take place? Is the surgery difficult, as in will it take long?" My mom continued to question. "The surgery will take about 2 whole hours, and she will be in recovery for a few weeks." Dr. Blake said. It's amazing how my whole entire world can come crashing down between 3 seconds. "The medications and obstacules to making her Cancer free will be quite the struggle for a girl like you, Barbara. Hair loss, weight loss, paleness, it's all part of the recovery. It's going to be quite a journey. Since you've got the right family and friends to help you through it, I'm sure you can do it. As for your surgery, I've just looked up an open day for your surgery to take place with an amazing surgeon... tomorrow."
Oh my God. This is not supposed to happen, what did I ever do wrong? I am not a bad person, so why is this happening to me? I don't know how I am going to get through the looks of this treatment. I am perfect, and nothing less. Will I still be?
