I nervously picked at the side of my fingernails as i sat in the chair in the waiting room.
It was yet another one of those goddamn gut wretching appointments Kio had, to see at what percentage his lung functioning was at.
I was praying it hadn't gone below than 50%...I wasn't ready to lose him or to lose the time we had left together.
~Kio~
I released the breath i realised I'd been holding in the past minute. I stared in disbelief at the screen pitched up against the grey, monotone hospital wall.
"45% lung functioning", it read.
no. it can't be. I've been taking my medication and my oxygen's always plugged in! HOW THE HELL IS IT STILL GOING LOWER?!
I bit my lip to fight back the tears i had as my nurse told me what was now going to happen.
It's not like i was afraid of dying. I truly wasn't. I just hadn't accepted what was going to happen to the people i loved. Skye, mom, Carson and Logan...
I got up off the hospital bed and walked towards the closed door ready to be greeted by Skye.
I fought back my tears once again and swallowed the re-occurring lump in my throat as i slightly opened the door.
Skye jumped out of her chair. I'd just seen her picking the skin around her fingernails, she was just as nervous as i was.
"Well..."
"45%"
Well great Kio. You weren't supposed to be that blunt! You were supposed to...let her down easy!
Her supportive smile slowly faded as she took in what i just said.
"WHAT?!"
"yep"
