"Can we?" (A Robbie Kay Story.)

Chapter 11.

Robbie's pov.

I feel anxious. It happened again, why? Why always me? Diana must have called the hospital, I think to myself as I try to sit up a little straighter.
"Mr. Kay, you have a visitor." The woman says, I think her name was Karen. "Alright, she can come in." I answer with a smile. She frowns, and let's Diana come in, but Diana is not Diana. "Peter." I state, he has a dirty smirk on his face, this can't be good. "Hey, little brother." He speaks as he walks towards the bed. Karen nods at us and quietly leaves the room. "What are you doing here, where is Diana?" They must have called him, but they didn't have to. They should have asked me first. "Your girlfriend? Haven't seen her. I bet she doesn't even care." I shake my head, "She does care! Where is she, what have you done?" I try to get up, but i'm still weak. "What are you talking about? I found you upstairs, I called the hospital." This can't be true. I'm sure Diana was still waiting for me. "Get out." I stare at him, he may be my brother, but to me he isn't, not since the accident. "Now, now. You don't have to be rude, i'm just here trying to help you. I wanna be a better brother for you." I'm not even bothering to give him an answer. I push the red button, to call the nurse.

Diana's pov.

I am so furious. Why can't they just let me in!? I even came from the ambulance, doesn't that make sense at all!? I get my phone from my pocket and search for miss. Smith her phone number. I hesitate for a second, but press call. I nervously walk through the family room. "Smith?" A friendly voice sounds on the other side of the phone. "Hii miss. Smith.. It's Diana, uh, am I bothering you?" It's quiet for a few seconds, "No, no ofcourse not. Where can I help you with?" I take a deep breath, I have to explain this without freaking out. "Something happened, with Robbie.. We were hanging out, and I found him unconscious, with a lot of blood.." I'm trying really hard to not let the tears escape from my eyes. It just doesn't feel right saying it out loud. "Oh, darling.. Do you know what happened?" Her voice is soft and calming, mine is cold and shaky. "N-no.. We're in the hospital, but they won't let me see him, and his brother is here.." I sit down in one of the chairs, a squeak escaped my mouth, I can't hold it back anymore, tears keep coming. "What should I do?.." Almost comes out as a whisper. "Do you want me to come to the hospital?" She asks, voice as friendly as ever. I nod, knowing she can't see me, "Yes." I eventually manage to speak out loud. "I will be there as soon as possible." She says, then hangs up. I keep my phone in my hands, staring at it, secretly hoping that Robbie will somehow text me.

"Diana?" A sweet voice sounds, I look up. "Miss. Smith." I smile lightly. "Are you alright?" She asks as she sits down next to me. I shake my head. "Not really.. Why won't they let me see him? I'm the one who has been with him the whole time.. It's not fair.." She lightly strokes my back. "Should we try together?" I'm not sure if it will work, but I nod. "That would be nice, yes.." We both get up, I quickly wipe my tears away. We walk towards the desk where the nurse is sitting behind her laptop. "How can I help you?" Miss. Smith hands out her card to the nurse. "I'm mr. Kay his therapist, we would like to see him, now." She says sternly. The nurse let's out a sigh, "Alright, follow me." She gets up and leaves her desk, walking towards a room. "Mr. Kay, you have another visitor." She opens the door more, and let's us in, we both thank her, and she leaves again. I frown slightly, Peter isn't here. "Robbie.." I rush towards his bed, biting my lip softly. "Diana.." He smiles bright, like an angel. "Should I just leave you two alone for a second?" Miss. Smith speaks up. I smile at her, "Please." I answer friendlier then I was before. She quietly leaves the room. "Robbie.. What happened?.." I take hold of his hand. "I can't tell you, Diana.." His voice sounds sad, also broken. "Why was Peter here?" I almost get mad, only by saying his name. "Just being the brother he has always been." I sigh, he deserves so much better. "I really wanna be there for you, Robbie.. You can tell me what's going on. But if you really don't want to, then don't." He squeezes my hand softly. "Are you sure? Aren't you gonna leave?" My heart almost breaks by hearing those few words. I can't leave him, even if I wanted to, I couldn't. "Robbie, I promise, I won't leave you, not ever." Is it strange that I feel so attached to this guy already in such short period? Some people may think i'm crazy, but it's something I have never felt before, something I don't wanna lose.. Robbie sits up straight, not letting go of my hand. "A while ago I didn't feel well, it kept coming back, and the worst thing is, it was a familiar feeling." He's trying to stay calm, but I can just hear that little hesitation in his voice. "I went to the doctor, just to have a check up, and last week I got the results.. But i'm very hard trying to ignore it.." His eyes are watery, i'm scared that I already know what he's about to say.. "I really, really didn't wanna scare you, Diana. I still don't want to, but you have the right to know what's going on.. The Leukemia is back." The last words came out as a whisper, and I can see the tears coming from his eyes. I don't know what to say, or do. I feel frozen in place. I wanna cry, I wanna scream, I wanna hug him, kiss him.. All at once. "Diana, hey.. You don't have to worry, I'll be okay, I will fight it again!" I try to give him a smile, but fail miserably. "I will stay right by your side, if you want me to or not.." He does give me a real smile, "I would love that. I would like to see what i'm fighting for.."
