"Have you seen a doctor?" Drake immediately asked concern.

I shrugged effortlessly, "That's not necessary".

"Are you blind? Have you not realized how awfully sick you might be?".

"I feel fine. It was nothing, I usually get these horrible nauseas when I eat alot" I lied, terribly.

I knew that I absolute required to see a doctor, but I was also scared to find out the truth and I preferred not to know.

"Something tells me that the nausea frequently happens" he stared suspiciously.

"Drake, just let it go".

I stood to my feet and washed my infected hands. I felt Drake's intense stare, so I looked up and I found him glareing at me with deeply worry. I saw him through the mirror and made me feel guilty of how I denied his help. He was worried about me and deep down inside I wanted to get help but also, something held me back from doing it.

I was such a coward.

It wasn't fare, Drake was my brother and I would also be as dead worried as he was if something was wrong with him. I needed to stop acting so childish, I mean, what could go wrong?

"Alright fine" I sighed in a shrug and turned to face him, "Let's go to a doctor"

~·~·~·~
He was silent and his attention was placed fiercely on the road. My hands were sweating, they were cold and my stomach for the first time wasn't hungry. This encounter wasn't as special as I expected it to be and the worst part was I still haven't received a text message from Zayn.

A text from him would seriously cheer me up, it was that much of how desperate I was.

As Drake drove us to a near by doctor, I scanned the streets and simply tried to keep my shit together. I was terrified of doctors but for some strange reason, I felt that this time I was going to loose it in finding out what was wrong with me.

It wasn't going to end well.

"Hey, can you pull over? I want to buy a water bottle" I asked Drake who he only nodded and parked infront a mini-super.

We both got off and walked inside, Drake opening the door for me  and I only gave him a half smile. As we both walked through the isles, we made it to where they held cold water bottles and I grabed one. I turned to see Drake and he surprisingly had an incredulous look applied on his face.

"What?"

"Can you take a breath Sky, you are pail as your legs" he managed to chuckle.

I sighed and smiled down to my feet as I leaned againts the door of the cold fridge. Drake leaned aside me and elbowed me softly, in a gesture of comforting me.

"It's not like your going to die Skylar, we are only going to see a doctor" he said.

"Well that's the thing. What if I have something?" I told him and began to walk.

"Well of course you have  something, whats the whole point of driving you to see a doctor then?"

I turned and gave him a scowl, "I ment something bad, something like cancer"

He shrugged and choked a laugh, "Why would you have cancer? Okay, you are over thinking this".

I was still not convinced, I felt the anxiety hit me like a truck and knocking all my positive thoughts.

We stood there for a spare moment, only giving each other incredulous stares and it was then where my eyes were suddenly caught on what I might think was the answer to my worries.
