Journal of a Young Spy *On Hold*

Nerves

The door creeps open, revealing smiling faces. I make a vomiting sound into my bucket, Hunter doing the same.

"Aww, you poor duckies!" Bobby exclaims, rushing over to us. "You got really sick, didn't you?"

"Totally." I say sarcastically, putting away my empty orange bucket. "We just needed to get you here."

"Why did you need us? Why didn't u just ask us to come in?" Nick asks, sitting on the edge of my bed.

"Because we wanted to have some fun!" Hunter exclaims. I nod, smiling cheekily.

"Let me just get this over with. Don't want this brewing any longer." I sigh, causing confused faces to slip into the room.

"What do you mean 'Brewing any longer'? Page?" Bobby asks.

"Let me just talk." I say, sitting back in my seat. "So, I've kinda been keeping you guys in the dark." I sigh, watching the confusion turn to shock.

"Make that we." Hunter corrects.

"Just, hear me out!" I tell them, beginning to rush my words. "When I first got in here, after the operation, there was a complication. My left leg was dead, and wouldn't function. I didn't tell you then, because I didn't want you to worry just yet. Hunter saw something you guys didn't, and confronted me about it. I made him swear not to tell you guys, or anyone who could. He respected me, and said he wouldn't without permission. He spent time with me, letting me vent about my situation, which I am so extremely grateful about. He has been awesome." I smile at Hunter, getting him continue.

"Then, Gruff Killer Joel returned." Hunter sighs, letting the anger vent.

"What?" Nick screeches.

"Why didn't we know? What the..." Bobby yells.

"Guys!" I shout, catching their attention. "Let Hunter finish!" They sit down once again, watching Hunter.

"Yeah, he returned to kidnap or kill Page. She hit her emergency button, so when I came in to visit, I got told by the Doctors that something was wrong. I came running, ending up rushing Page out to the reception. She luckily came after me with a crutch, knocking Joel out and saving me. He got to me pretty bad. Page got Desmond, and they got me to a bed, page getting even more help. She saved me, like I tried to save her. She ended up saving herself." Hunter looks to his lap. I lean over, giving him a hug.

"You saved us both." I tell him, watching him begin to smile once again.

"I guess..." I laugh at his sneaky comment, pulling away and continuing with the story.

"Just days before, I'd been offered an operation to fix the problem, only needing rehab for a bit. That was today." I pause, thinking about everything that happened today. "I was going to put it off because of how bad Hunter was yesterday, but Desmond insisted he's be fine and want it. So it happened. Rehab is the last thing I need!" I grin at Nick and Bobby, seeing their smiles finally raise. "And that will be coming with us, unfortunately." I sigh, remembering the annoyance that I will bring for my friends. "Rehab is for four months. I'm sorry guys!" I tell them. They smile at me.

"It's fine Page. You should have told us sooner though!" Nick replies.

"We would have been supportive of you!" Bobby exclaims.

"I know you would have, but you guys were already worrying about other stuff, so I wanted you to focus on that, not me." I look to my lap, tears welling. I feel three people hugging me at once. I laugh, looking at each face surrounding me. I loop my arms around the bodies, laughing and having fun. They all pull away, smiling at me.

"We wouldn't have cared!" Nick tells me, taking my hand.

"Well, let's leave Page to recover more, seeing as it's been, what, an hour since her op?" Bobby intercepts, looking to me and Hunter.

"Yeah." I reply. "An hour or so." Bobby stands up, kissing Hunter on the cheek and hugging me once again before dragging Nick out the room. I look at Hunter, laughing at the stupid sight of Nick's facial expression. "I'm gonna get some rest. I'll talk to you later." I tell him, laying down and rolling over to my side, facing away from Hunter. I let my eyes droop closed, replaying the day's events in my head.

Hope you guys enjoyed this chapter, even if it was short and late.

Sorry that it was late, Writers Block took over until about five minutes before I was meant to post!

Sorry it was so short, it was more of a filler chapter, getting to more interesting details next chapter.

This story is creeping ever so closer to the end! I'm so sad to see it end, but all good things do! Keep on letting me know what you think will happen in the next chapter in the comments, I love reading them!
