The morning started off as she felt wide awake but still didn't open her eyes, with her mother, sitting beside her as she was concerned.
"What happened to her? Why won't you tell me?" She asked her husband, close to tears.
Her father was standing leaning towards the door.
"She's just vitamin deficit-"
"No! You're lying!" She ended up bursting into tears. "What do you take me for?!" Her face turned red and eyes swollen.
Aurora sat up to the commotion, breathing heavily turning her head to the side to look at her mother.
"I have cancer, Mom." Aurora whispered loudly.
Her mother stared at her, speechlessly, as tears dripped down her cheeks slowly hitting the mattress. Seeing that she had woken her up, she quickly wiped her tears clean, sniffing one last time to finally compose herself. Upon hearing her own daughter talk about having cancer, she felt sort of ashamed to be asking for it.
