Perri and I- The sequel to romantic 'Perri and me' about Perri Kiely

Chapter 1 Part 5

Oh my gosh...

A woman with a little girl comes running up to us.

"I'll call an ambulance!" She exclaims.

Lucy kneels down next to him, shaking him. No- not Freddie again. He opens his eyes for a minute, but then closes them again after gasping.

"Hey- you're Perri Kiely." The little girl says.

"There's no time for that." Her mother says, after putting the phone down. "They should be here any minute."

Lucy starts to cry.

"You can't do that now. Stop it." I say to Lucy, after looking straight at her.

"This isn't fair. Why him?" She cries, as tears begin to fall down her face.

"He'll be alright, Lucy." Perri says, before hugging her.

The ambulance are here in no time and Freddie is rushed unto the stretcher. We say thank you to the woman- and the little girl gets a quick, messy autograph from Pel. Perri, Lucy and I tag along, as some surgeons start to supply him with oxygen. When we get to the hospital, he's taken into special care. We have to wait outside.

Lucy stops crying, as I put an arm around her.

"What could possibly be wrong?" She whines. "Again? I mean- he was already in a wheelchair for like-"

"Lucy! You're not making his situation any better. You need to be a supportive girlfriend no matter what he goes through! You need to help him. It's already bad enough for him- he doesn't need you to panic!" I shout at her.

Lucy looks at me in disgust.

"Is that all you can say to me!" She cries. "My boyfriend just passed out!"

She starts to cry again. I really shouldn't have said that...

"Lucy, I'm sorry..." I say. "I didn't mean to say that."

"Just...leave me alone!" She shouts.

No. I'm not going to leave her alone. I'm going to stay here until Freddie gets better.

"Its okay, Lucy..." Perri says.

I sigh. Its annoying how I'm always the one that has to make everyone angry, or sad.

We take a seat in the waiting room, which is like the most nerve racking thing to do. Lucy asks so many questions...even to people she doesn't even know. I try and keep my mouth shut...just to prevent myself from saying anything stupid...

After another long two hours, Freddie's parents arrive. They also bring his little sister. I feel so sorry for her. I bet she's twice as worried as we all are. Lucy talks to Freddie's parents non-stop.

I think about what could have caused Freddie's fall. Well...he was drinking a lot of water...but that doesn't explain anything really. I just hope he's okay...

Another hour passes, and we all start to get really worried. Could this be the end?...

The doctor comes to see us. I can tell from the expression on his face that he's had a long day of work.

"Freddie...?" He says to all of us.

Freddie's parents nod.

"Is he okay?..." Lucy exclaims.

"I think I've come up with a diagnosis..." The doctor says.

Lucy looks at me, then back at the doctor. What could this be? Cancer?

"Come with me..." The doctor says.

Freddie's Mum looks at Perri and I.

"I'll think I'll go with Lucy..." She says.
