Ivy

"Is she okay? Was it a heart attack? Please. Please tell me that she is okay." I said asking the nurse that came out and walked up to me.
I've been at this hospital for a couple hours so far. I wasn't allowed back in the emergency room while they were doing whatever they had to do. So I've just been going crazy for an update.
"She's fine, and it wasn't a heart attack. Come back to the room she's asking for you."
I gave her a big yet gentle hug as soon as I got to her room. "You scared me." I said.
"I'm fine, Ivy." She said hugging me back as best she could.
"No, you're not. Something is obviously wrong. What did the doctor say?" I ask.
"He's looking over all the test results now and is on his way in to give you two all the information you need and answer any questions you guys may have." I nodded saying thank you before she left the room.
"So you didn't have a heart attack. You have unstable angina which can lead up to a heart attack so we are lucky to have got you in here now..." He started off before going into all of the information we needed to know and what would need to be done.
I finally got the chance to call Ms. Angie to tell her and she showed up soon after.
"They want to keep her here in the hospital for a few days and of course overworking Monica isn't having it." I said after updating Ms. Angie on everything.
"She's gonna have to cut that shit out. She obviously isn't taking care of herself and the way she's working isn't gonna do anything, but make things worse."
"I know." I said rubbing the bridge of my nose.
"You should go home and sleep. I'll stay here with her, Tink." Ms. Angie.
"No I wanna stay here too."
"Well at least go home, shower, then eat. I can hear your stomach growling and you're still in your work uniform."
I sighed, "Okay. I have to take Slim back home anyway."
"Oh, he's here?"
"Yeah. When he seen a ambulance down the street at our house he came thinking something was wrong with me, but when he seen different he rode to the hospital with me." She nodded.
"Okay, well I'll be back in like an hour."
"Okay, Tink."
"Slim, come on so I can take you home." I said waking him up from where he laid sleep in the waiting room chair.
"What?" He said waking up. "What happen? Is she okay?"
"She's okay." If she can take proper care of herself from here on out that is.

few weeks later...
"How you doing Monica? Have you been taking your medication and going to your doctors appointments?" Ms. Angie asks her as we all stood in the kitchen.
"I'm fine, y'all can stop panicking over me already." She said.
"Well you gave us a scare so we are gonna be on your ass." Ms. Angie said.
She rolled her eyes, "Okay, girl."
"On your ass Ms. Monica." I said pointing at her.
"Ivy, watch your mouth." Ms. Monica said.
