ANGEL IN DISGUISE , MILEVEN AU

7.

her heart stopped when she picked up the phone. the voice began to blur, her phone dropped to the ground and when she finally regain consciousness, she was out the door and running to the hospital.

please make it, please make it. she begged in her mind.

they waited at the hospital, for her to arrive ten minutes later to see him one last time.

"you're going to be fine," she whispered, holding his hand and leaning down to press a kiss to his forehead.

"i don't know, kid." his voice was weak, "three goddamn shots," he rubbed her hand with his thumb.

"don't worry, you'll see me after the surgery," she whispered, forcing herself to believe it.

"i know," he played along before letting out the weakest smile from his pale lips, "i love you, kiddo. take care of yourself,"

"stop," she begged, "you'll be alright. you'll make sure i'm okay,"

"adopting you was the best decision ever."

and she sobbed hard, "stop," she chocked out, "stop. you'll be okay, you'll—" she couldn't even speak, "go now, i love you so much, hop,"

he nodded tiredly, "goodnight, kid. i loved being your dad, el," and then he was gone.

"that's a nice lunch you got there," lucas said as he caught el nibbling down on a piece of sushi roll.

she looked up quickly before nodding and taking another small bite.

then when she noticed he was gone, she placed the one out of the three pieces away into the box and then put it away to save for dinner.

"hey el," someone called from behind which made her turn slowly.

"hi may," she greeted quietly, hesitating a bit since the girls never said a word to her.

"i see you didn't eat, here's a snack," may smiled handing a fruit bar to her without a packaging. "couldn't finish it," she said, explaining why there was no package.

el took it then sniffed it.

may gave a look, "you don't want it?"

el shook her head, "no, um, thank you,"

"well then why won't you eat it?" may asked with her arms crossed.

el gulped, "yeah, um, yeah i'll eat it," she placed it into her mouth and took a small bite before swallowing.

and then the taste hit her.

blueberry.

her throat felt like it was closing and her breathing hitched as she began to cough. she looked towards may for help who only laughed and walked away as she dropped to the ground.

her epi pen was in her bag since she just changed into something without pockets. fuck.

"el, you're late! it's time to go," mike shouted form outside, "everyone is fucking waiting,"

she couldn't respond, she tried to call for help.

"for fucks sake, ives," he walked in, "i gave you the job back—" his words got stuck in his throat as he noticed her struggling to breathe on the ground.

quickly, he kneeled down to bring her to her lap to see what happened.

when he noticed how she had her hands on her throat, his first thoughts was that she was choking on something. but when he saw the blueberry flavoured bar on the ground, he knew exactly what happened.
