"Ollie!" I sat up breathing hard.
"I"m right it," Ollie said gripping my hand, " It's okay." I looked over at him, he was sitting in a chair. His hair was a mess and looked very, very tired. His eyes were red shot and had dark circles under his eyes. He was also paler than normal, I looked around. I was in the hospital, tubes were sticking out of my arm.
"What happened?"
"You don't remember?"
"The last thing I remember was that I was coughing up blood then everything went dark."
"I found you in the bathroom blood everywhere...Art helped me get you here." He was hiding something.
"Ollie...whats wrong?"
"The doctors found a tumor in your lung...and since your living with one lung already..."
"I can possibly die unless I get a transplant?" Ollie nodded. "But since there are little transplant for lungs my luck of getting one is slim so chances are higher that I'll die?" Ollie tightened his grip on my hand.
"I'll do the transplant." Art said walking in the room.
"No."
"Why not? My lung not good enough for you." Art said very sassy putting his hands on his hips.
"No, Ms. sassy pants. you'll be unable to do things like you normally can do."
"Like what? I don't do anything. I go to rehab, come home and sleep or mess with Miko."
"Still..."
"It's what I can do to repay you for helping me and I don't want to see Miko or Ollie said because your six feet under ground." Art said sitting down next to Ollie.
"Mason..." Ollie said.
"...Fine but thats if my body accepts it."
"I'll go tell the doctor then!" Art jumped out of the chair and left the room.
"I'm not happy about this."
"I know but I don't know what I would do if you died. I won't be able to handle another person I love die..."
"But Art won't be able to do shit like normal people his age and he'll have to most likely carry a oxygen tank," I said swinging my legs to the side of the bed so I was facing Ollie. "And if my body doesn't accept the lung then Art and I are screwed."
"There's risks to everything."
"I can't believe you are allowing this."
"I'm not happy about this either but I'm also not happy you're dying."
"Dying is life..."
"I know but..." I lifted his face to mine and kissed him. He smiled when I pulled away.
"Where's Miko?"
"School."
"Didn't let him stay home?"
"He had finals."
"Oh...I wonder how he's doing..."
"Stressing out probably," Ollie said standing up. "I'm going to go get you something to eat."
"Okay..."
"Now you stop stressing out everything will be fine." He left the room. I'm not stressing just worried...
Few Hours Later
"Your body should accept Art's lung because you too are related-"
"We aren't related." I said hugging my legs.
"The DNA test we ran says you are...Art's your son...don't you know that?"
"He can't be my..." I trailed off.
"Mason?" Ollie said looking at me.
"No...he can't be my kid."
"Well from the tests he is." The doctor started to leave. "We'll start surgery tomorrow." Then he left.
"Mason...want to tell me something?"
"I'm not sure give me your phone." He gave it to me and I motioned him to leave. He didn't. "Stubborn little ass." I started calling Autumn, she picked up on the fourth ring.
"Ollie?"
"It's Mason."
"Oh hello! How is everyone? How's Art?"
"Everyones fine he's...he'll....Is Art my kid?"
"What?"
"Autumn, Is Art my kid?"
"...yes."
"I thought..."
"I was but then I had a miscarriage and I got scared-"
"So let me get this straight you fucking used me because you were scared?"
"I'm sorry..."
"Art will hate you even more when he finds this out."
"Mason please don't tell him!"
"He needs to know!"
"Mason, Art won't take it right! You don't know him like I do! Trust me it will screw him up even more!"
"He needs to know and thats finally." I hung up the phone and gave it back to Ollie.
"...So he is?"
"Yes..." I explained to Ollie that Autumn used me to hide the fact that she had a miscarriage. Cole was out of town when she had it and she got scared what he would do when he found out.
"Jeez...I don't like Autumn anymore."
"No one really did...I'm just worried what Art will do."
"I don't know...we'll just have to make sure he won't use again."
"Yeah...I'll tell him after the surgery so he's a little out of it because of the pain meds." Ollie smiled giggling.
"Nice, Mase."
