My Sweet Cupcake- A Nightvale Fanfiction

Chapter 10

"Hello, my name is Dr. Sweets. How can I help you today?" A tall woman with blonde hair and a peach smile approached the couple at the door. Cecil was swaying slightly and hiccuping.

"Is he...drunk?" The nurse asked nervously. She pointed at Cecil.

"No, that's what I brought him in for. He got sick on the ride home and thought I had red hair. And now he's acting drunk and not like himself." The nurse was scratching the notes down on her clipboard.

"Okay. Is he experiencing any blindness, fever, blood loss, numbness of the limbs, or muscle aches? Well, has he felt any muscle aches in the past few days?" The nurse eyed Carlos suspiciously.

"N-no! He's been just fine. Acting like himself until now." Carlos blushed. Cecil was singing to himself. He looked up at Carlos.

"Did ya feed Khoshekh?" Cecil hiccuped.

"What's a khoshekh?" The nurse stifled a laugh behind her hand.

"Um, nothing," Carlos said, "now, can you see him and make sure he's okay?" 

"Certainly. Follow me." The nurse took Cecil's hand. He walked forward three steps and collapsed on the white tile. Blood instantly began to pour from his nose. "Oh, no!" The nurse yelled out something as Carlos tried to help Cecil up. Cecil was still breathing, but not moving. 

"Cecil? Get up! You're getting blood all over the floor!" A team of doctors with a stretcher came running over to Cecil. Carlos was getting blood all over his hands. The doctors began to lift Cecil off of the ground. There was blood all over his face and shirt, and some in his blonde hair. His classes fell to the ground. 

"Is he going to be okay?" Carlos asked. The nurse stopped and turned around. She looked at Carlos in the eye and took a shaky breath.

"I'm very sorry, but I think your boyfriend had cancer."

Cecil's glasses were slowly collecting blood on the ground.
