Chapter Eight

Bitsy

In the days that followed my parents’ departure, Viper and I settled into a routine. The house felt quieter without them, but Viper’s unwavering presence brought a sense of stability to my life. We made it a point to update my parents regularly about my condition and the progress of my treatments, keeping them in the loop as best we could.

The targeted chemotherapy was taking its toll on my body, and I found myself grappling with the relentless side effects. Nausea, fatigue, and hair loss became my daily companions, and it was Viper who stood by me through it all. He would hold me when the sickness overcame me, offering soothing words and gentle comfort.

When the day came that I had to shave my head, I was inconsolable. I know that it’s just hair and I can’t really explain why it hurt so much to shave off the last few strands I had, but it was hard. The evening that Viper shaved my head, we got a visit from Ghost, Steel, Blaze, Venom, Ma, and Pops. They all walked into the house with a huge smile on their faces and completely bald heads. Even Viper shaved all of his hair off.

Never in my life had I cried so much as I did in that moment. Even Ma had her beautiful locks completely shaven. I’ll never forget that day for as long as I live. I even demanded a picture of all of us together to hang on the wall.

It hangs proudly over the fireplace.

One evening, as I lay on the couch, feeling weak and exhausted, Viper sat beside me. His fingers traced patterns on my bare scalp where my hair once flowed. “You’re beautiful, Bitsy,” he whispered, his voice filled with admiration and love.

I managed a weak smile, grateful for his unwavering support. “Thank you, Viper. I’m lucky to have you.”

He leaned in and kissed my forehead gently, his lips warm against my skin. “I’m the lucky one, baby.”

As the days turned into weeks, Viper continued to be my rock, providing emotional and physical support. He would cook comforting meals for me, and we would share quiet moments together, finding solace in each other’s company.

One evening, I sat on the porch, staring out at the stars, lost in thought. Viper joined me, his strong presence a comforting anchor. “What are you thinking about, baby?” he asked, his voice soft.

I turned to him, my eyes filled with emotion. “I’m thinking about how much my life has changed since I met you, Viper. You’ve been my strength through all of this.”

He took my hand, his gaze unwavering. “We’ll get through this together, Bitsy. You’re not alone in this fight.”

I leaned in and kissed him, the connection between us deepening with each passing day. In that moment, I knew that no matter what challenges lay ahead, I had found something worth fighting for, someone who would stand by my side through the darkest of storms.
