Wes : hum she's- hum

Wes looked at Mina discreetly and she made a no sign.

Wes : She's-

Nathan : I know she's here

Mina sighed and came to the doot.

Nathan : Hey Mina

Mina : Hey Nathan

Nathan : Can we talk ?

Mina : sure

They both stepped on the porch and sat on the stairs.

Nathan : I messed up, I'm sorry

Mina : No Nathan I-

Nathan : No let me finish please

Mina just nodded

Nathan : I shouldn't have let you alone the other night. I was just so angry I was selfish and I'm so sorry. I trust you with all my heart Mina. I really am sorry. I've been an ass.

Mina : Yeah you kinda were an ass.

Nathan giggled : I'm sorry

Mina : it's okay

Nathan : No it's not. Next time just yell at me or something.

Mina laughed : right I'll just do that.

Meanwhile, in the house, the rest of the family were still doing their homeworks. Jules' phone buzzed.

Doug's doctor : Doug is in the hospital, just wanted to warn you, I know you're taking care of him.

Jules got up : I'll be back later

Jen : Where are you going ?

Jules : Gotta check on something at Doug's

She grabbed her stuff and opened the front door.

Jules : see you guys !

Neptune : See you

She stepped outside. And passed by Nathan and Mina.

Mina : Where are you going ?

Jules : Gotta go to Doug's

Mina : alright see you later

Jules : see you

Jules left for the hospital.

THE HOSPITAL

Jules arrived running into the hospital. She went to the reception and asked for Doug. She went to his room.

Doug : Oh hey starfish

Jules : Hey Doug

Doug : How was your weekend ?

Jules sat on the chair next to Doug's bed.

Jules : It was alright. What about you ? Are they treating you well here ?

Doug : It's okay. I'm okay.

The nurse came in and checked everything with Doug.

Nurse : Alright, we got your CT scan results Doug. The doctor Will come and tell you everything.

Doug : My CT scan ?

Nurse : Yes, of your brain

Doug : Oh yes of course

The doctor came in and explained to Doug and Jules what was happening.

Doug : I don't understand all the scientific works. Jules can you translate please ?

Jules : Doug, you, you've got a tumour.

Doug : A tumour ?

Doctor : A brain tumour, but we have some treatments

Doug : Yeah but they are expensive

Jules : What are they ?

Doctor : Well chemotherapy

They talked about the solutions and decided that chemo was the best option. Before she left the hospital, Doug's nurse came to see her?

Nurse : Sorry, hum, I see here that you are his urgent contact, are you his granddaughter ?

Jules : hum, no, I- I'm just a friend of him

Nurse : oh- okay, hum does he have any family we can contact ?

Jules : hum not that I know off. I mean, his grandson wrote him a postcard, I can try to find his number

Nurse : Alright, that would be great, thank you

Jules : sure

She then left.
