As My Heart Dies-Chp34

[at the doctor's office...]

Hater: (poked his head in) Hello?

Doc: [looked up] Oh hello, Lord Hater. Heard abt the retirement from the nurses

Hater: Yeah... Anyway, I need to check with how my condition is. I have been taking the needles.

Doc: Word travels fast ard here. Right, hv a seat n I'll do the chk up

Hater: (does so)

Doc: [does all the necessary chk up, then wait for the prognosis on the computer]

Hater: And um... I've also spat up some black stuff as well.

Doc: Oh, already? [got the prognosis] Well, ur still within Stage 1, n the black stuff ur spitting up is phlegm from by-product of the bitter after taste ur getting from ur taste buds. It'll go away once u reach Stage 2, as well as ur taste buds will recover from there, bt u should be prepared for the power hay wire. Judging by ur current metabolism, u might reach Stage 2 in abt 6 mths to a yr, 2 yrs at most

Hater: I see...

Sylvia: (was walking down the hallway searching for restroom) (think)

Hater: :( But I'm still not sure how to tell them...

Sylvia: ? (hides herself and listens closely)

Doc: The sooner the better. It's not gonna be easy to try n come up with an excuse why ur suddenly shoot rays n lightning everywhere, or whenever u use ur powers it might blow up in ur face

Hater: ^^;; Yeah, I know that.

Sylvia: :^)

Doc: Anyways sooner or later they're gonna question it, n they're gonna know, especially wen u reach Stage 3, which is quite painful as the haywire continues inwardly in ur body n it'll be obvious to everyone's eye. N wat if something happens n no one could help u bcoz they don't know how to deal with u? This cancer is not something to take lightly of

Hater: I get it but...it's hard...

Sylvia: ... :(

Doc: [sighed n patted his shoulder] I know, it's hard for me too to keep a secret like this n keep a straight face wen I know tht Lord Hater, the man who saved us frm our dying planet, is dying himself. Just try ur best n try to do as many things that'll make u happy as possible

Hater: I can try...

Sylvia: ... (makes her leave)

Doc: :) Good. Now I'm gonna go get ready with the nurses. I heard there'll be a farewell party. Don't worry, I'm staying on with u. Someone's gotta keep an eye on u ;)

Hater: Heh, figured Wander would do that. :) And thanks. (gets up and makes his leave)

Doc: Don't forget to carry on with ur prescription. U don't wanna miss out on the good food u might wanna plan to eat in ur bucket list

Hater: (nod) Got it.

[everyone was gathered at the entertainment hall, celebrating the farewell party] (party) (party) (party)

Sylvia: (came up to Wander) :)

Wander: Hey, Syl! :D [puts a party hat on Sylvia] Glad u could join us! U managed to find the restroom?

Sylvia: Yeah, and also... (paused, not sure if she should inform Wander of the news she heard)

Wander: Yeah? :) [gave her tht naive innocent expectant smile]

Sylvia: Uh...Never mind. Anyways, is there any jellyfish pie? (hearteyes)

Wander: :D Seriously, u n ur jellyfish pie. It's right there at the buffet table. Go help urself

Sylvia: :) Sweet. (heads for buffet table)

Wander: [did a toast n clinked glasses with a few Watchdogs] (cheers)  [sees Hater come in] Hatey~~ (wave)

Hater: Heh, hey. (wave)

Wander: Come, hv a drink with us :D

Hater: :) Okay.

Wander: [pours him a glass, then raised his own] Cheers to those starting their new lives! May they be happy with wat they're looking for! :D

Watchdogs: Hear, hear! :D :D :D

Sylvia: :) (raised her glass)

Hater: :D (raised his glass)

[they partied for a while, giving well wishes to each other]

Westley: [hears some whisperings from the others n made his way to Hater] Lord Hater, sir!

Hater: Please, Westley, just 'Hater' will do.

Westley: Eheh, right, Hater, sir [whispers to his ear] One of the guys spotted Commander Peepers alone in the main meeting room. They tried to invite him to the party bt he doesn't want to. Maybe u can try to persuade him here

Hater: He's still here? But...He might not...

Wander: Wats wrong? Anything I can do to help?

Hater: He doesn't seem to understand that this is something I need to do...

Wander: Who're u talking abt? [confused since he couldn't hear wat Westley has just whispered to Hater]

Hater: It's... It's Peepers.

Wander: :| Oh, he's still here? Then wat r u waiting for? Here's ur chance to talk n explain to him properly again [starts ushering him]

Hater: ^^;; Okay, okay. (makes his way to where Peepers is)
