Bent lovers- a Chase and Madelyn story (part 2)

CHAPTER 6

January 29th, 2020
Maddie

-Madelyn Cline- I hear my doctor saying, making me walk towards the room he was in.

I enter the room and I see a man who was looking between 45-50 years old, waiting for me to sit down, in order to start telling me what was wrong with me.
I've been feeling not so good lately, It was not a mentally thing more like a physical one, as if my body was too tired.
I would faint if I did too much and I was never hungry.
My periods had started to get worse and my face would be pale during the whole day.
I was always tired and didn't have the energy for doing anything, which sometimes caused me to be in a bad mood.

-How are you feeling?- he asks me, searching something in his computer.

-Good I think, a little bit tired though- I explain as I sat down.

-Okay- he says, still staring at his computer- Hey um... Olivia? do you know if there's anything wrong with this wire?- he asks a girl who looked too young to be a doctor.
Her face was familiar to me but I didn't really know from what.

The girl or, Olivia which was her name, comes out from a room with a lot of medicines, and walks towards the computer, so that she could take a closer look.
She then sees me, and I couldn't be able to express through words which was her facial expression.
I felt bad because I knew I had met her but still my mind would not connect the dots.

She then smiles a bit-Hi Maddie- as she connects the wire which was causing the computer to not work.

-I guess I'm too old to figure things like this- my doctor says, causing me and Olivia to laugh a bit, just to be nice- So Madelyn- he begins- after analyzing your blood tests I've comed to the conclusion that you suffer from anemia.

Now I understood everything.

-Do you know what that is?- he asks me as I nod.

-So then you'll know that you won't have to worry about it, your iron deficiency is not really bad, just the enough amount to make you have the symptoms you described to me the other day. So Olivia, wich would be her prescription?

Olivia smiles and starts explaining to me that I'd have to take a pill which contained Iron each day for a month and then, If I felt the same I'd need to come back but that most of the times, pacients in my same condition would get better.

-This was probably caused because of exhaustion or you having a longer period than usual but, as I explained you, I don't think there'll be a problem with it if you continue eating properly and taking the medication- she says.

-Good job- the doctor says, which makes Olivia very happy- this is actually the first day she's here, just trying this for a week to see if she really wants to become a doctor.

I smile as I tell her- you'll probably be a great one if this is how you are in your first day.

-Thanks- she says.

-That's what I told her- my doctor says grinning, he was very nice- so I'll go print some things and be right back in a minute.

We both nod.
And then there's a silence in the room.

-I'm sorry, do I know you from somewhere?- I ask her in the nicest way.

She laughs- I'm Chase's best friend.

-Oh.

That's the only thing I say.

I hadn't thought much about him since we had this kind of argument two weeks ago so hearing his name again felt really weird.
Then I remember how he told me that Olivia knew about everything, and that she had been his main support.
