Famous Last Words

Chapter Five

Chad Dylan Cooper waited anxiously in the cold room. Tapping his foot to escape the silence. The clock on the wall didn't help one bit.

Tick Tock

He jumped at the click of the door. The Doctor, who had frame fitted glasses stood there silently. A clipboard barely hanging from his hands. The quietness was almost inevitable. It was just Chad and ticking of the clock.

Almost as if time had frozen.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Cooper. You have a rare case of..." The Doctor paused for a moment and looked at his clipboard, a sad expression on his face. "Colon Cancer, which is not curable, symptoms are; abdominal pain and tenderness in the abdomins, blodd in stool, unexplained anemia, diarrhea, constipaction, weight loss, eventual ...death..."

It was shattered at that very moment.

Chad felt the room spin around him. He shouldn't be dying;he just had Sonny approve of their friendship. He can't die on her now. A million questions ran though out his head, making it throb.

"How is it possible?" He asked in a shaky voice. He looked up at the doctor, his eyes tearing up. He gave Chad a sad look, "I'm so sorry, it's just that sometimes you get lucky, and others you don't."

"But, I'm only twenty-four, I can't die now. Not when I have her in a the palm of my hands." He chocked on the last part, and tears that he held in; started to fall.

"Yes, I know. I feel so bad, because there's no cure." He stated, his lips curling in a frown. "What?" Chad's eyes widened. "The good thing though it that we can give you pain medicines, which can reduce a lot of pain."

Chad just nodded and stayed still.

No words were left from him. All he had to do was spend the rest of his time with Sonny. But before that, he had to make a quick trip to somebody's house.

With a simple bottle of medicine, he drove away from the hospital. Driving to one place in particular.

Reaching his destination, he walked up the steps. Looking for the similar number on one of the doors. Stopping at the arpartment, he knocked. Lightly echoing through the empty place.

"Chad Dylan Cooper, is that really you?" The black comedian stood their confused. Chad smiled and nodded. " Wow, I can't believe my own eyes. What are you doing here?"

"I need to tell you something important that you can't tell anyone." His serious expression made Nico know that he wasn't joking.

"Alright, if Sonny wasn't such a sister to me, I wouldn't let you in." He opened the door and gestured him to come inside. Once stepping in, the place smell a familiar odor, and had a cute twang to it. Several colors were painted onto the walls, Nico's usual attire.

"So what's going on?" Nico asked, bringing a cold glass of water to him. Chad couldn't help but feel sad. This 'thing' inside him will only make the situation worse and tear it apart.

"I have cancer," Those words struck Nico like a ton of bricks. He would have never thought of Chad Dylan Cooper having chancer, let alone a tumor building inside him. He was speechless. "Yesterday, I had lunch with Sonny. Which she agreed that we should be friends and start new; making this probably the biggest mistake I've ever done." He took a big sip of water. Letting it gentle glide down his dry throat.

"How can you do that to her, Chad?!" Nico felt an anger build up, and boil in his blood. This will be the second time he has betrayed Sonny, and he won't let that happen. "I should just ell her now and save the hurt!"

"No! If you speak one word to her, I will have you so afriad to come back into California!" The black comedian stopped his banter, and stayed quiet. Sometimes it's better to keep your mouth shut. It was an akward silence afterwards. Everything became still and Chad felt as if everything was going downhill.

It felt as though everything was stuck on replay.

The sam exact thing happening over in this circumstance.

"Leave."

With that spiel, he left before anything unsaid was heard.
