Dana moaned softly and opened one eye. Now where am I? Turning her pounding head, she noticed the equipment around her. Oh, great, I’m in the hospital. What the ***** happened? Then she remembered. She fell at the game, and then lost consciousness. That was even worse than losing the match. I made a fool of myself on national TV.
A nurse ducked her head into the room. “Ah, it’s good to see you’re awake. Your family is here to see you.” She moved aside to let Dana’s parents and Howie enter the room.
Mrs. Fairbanks grabbed Dana’s hand, squeezing tightly. “Dear, why didn’t you tell us that you were sick? That you have – “ She cut off, unable to continue.
Mr. Fairbanks put a hand on his wife’s shoulder. “Cancer,” he finished for her.
Dana looked alarmed. “How’d you guys know?”
“Well, when we spoke to your doctor, he assumed we already knew. He said this is just the effects the chemo,” Mrs. Fairbanks explained. “Now why didn’t you tell us?”
“I was scared,” Dana admitted. “And confused. I didn’t want to worry you guys.”
“Still, Dana, I wish you’d told us. We could have helped you,” Mr. Fairbanks said.
Howie, who had been uncharacteristically quiet, suddenly looked up. “Dane, how could you keep something like that from me?” His eyes shown with tears.
Dana had to choke back her own tears. “I’m sorry, How. I didn’t want you to worry about me.”
“I always worry about you, sis,” Howie told her.
“I’m sorry, you guys, and I’m glad you came to see me. But could you leave the room now? I’m feeling a little tired,” Dana pleaded.
Her parents looked at one another. “Okay, honey, but we’re booking a hotel for the night until they release you tomorrow,” her mother said.
Howie suddenly perked up. “At a casino?”
Dana laughed. “You’re not even old enough to gamble, stupid.”
With hugs and promises of a later visit, her parents and brother left the room. Dana lay quietly after they left, wondering if she’d made the right decision to keep everyone in the dark about her illness. It had felt awfully nice to have her family’s support, and she’d needed some sort of support. Dana had just been so damn intent on isolating and punishing herself that she’d kept it, and everything else, to herself.
