Chapter 28 - one last time

" and out of no where, Nate comments this: fucking bitch, marrying a cheat just because of his fame, gold digger much? And Anna shrugged it off, laughing at his comment. Here's the clip " The man said, as I watched the YouTube drama video.

It's now the next day, and I decided that while I waited for my aunt to get ready, I'd watch some videos talking about the drama with Nate and I. The video of me laughing at Nate's comment played, and then the man presenting began to talk about Nate's other comment.
" then out of no where, he attacked her again, saying that she tried to sleep with him while she was dating Grayson " she said, now showing the video of Nate commenting that, and my reaction.
" Anna, you ready to go? " Aunt Macy called, as I turned the video off and went downstairs.
" yeah " I replied, dreading this moment.
We left the house, climbing into the car before driving towards one of my least favourite places. The hospital.

*******

We walked down the empty corridors, the lights flickering on as we made each step. I've never liked hospitals, and I never will. I know they're actually a good place I guess, but the idea of all of these people here being unwell or hurt just send me bad vibes. It's like I'm walking past each room perfectly healthy, while feeling guilty for the person on the other side of the wall.... I just don't like it.
As soon as we reached a desk, a lady with long red hair send us a toothy smile, which I tried my best to return, she'll never know that it was completely fake though, will she?
" Excuse me, Do you know which room Laura Wells is in? " My Aunt asked her, and she looked at her computer.
A few seconds later she looked back up at us, pointing down the corridor with her well manicured finger.
" if you go down the corridor, then turn left... it'll be number 15 " She said, and we thanked her for the directions.
We began walking, my hands beginning to sweat and shake. I don't even know what's wrong with my grandma... all I've been told is that she's ill, and dying.
We reached the door, my Aunt placing a gentle knock against it before pushing it open quietly.
As soon as I stepped inside, I wanted to leave. The view in front of me was one that I didn't want to see, she looked so unhealthy.
Usually my grandma has that rosy look to her cheeks, and her lips are a peachy shade of pink, but now she's pale, her lips dark and swollen.
Wires were attached to her skin, leading to machines which beeped every few seconds, measuring her heart rate and blood levels.
I gulped as she struggled to smile, looking into my eyes so deeply.
" why are you here? " she said, barely able to speak.
Her voice was croaky and hoarse, making it quite hard to understand. But what she said shocked me, did she not want me here?
" you have to see here... it might be the last time you'll see your granddaughter, mom " Aunt Macy said, and I nodded slowly.
It might be the last time. Ouch.
" I just didn't want you to see me like this " Grandma said, trying to lift her hand out to hold mine.
I sat down beside her, placing a kiss on her cheek lightly.
" it's okay grandma " I said, wiping away the now forming tears.
" I just want to let you know... that I don't want you to ever leave Grayson " She said randomly, and I nodded.
" I won't " I promised.
My Aunt left the room, leaving me alone with my grandma. I'm going to tell her. She'll never know otherwise... she won't be at the wedding.
" grandma, I'm going to tell you something that Grayson and I are announcing at the wedding... but you can't tell Aunt Macy " I whispered.
She nodded, the pain obvious in her eyes.
" I'm pregnant " I said, and a small smile formed on her cracked lips.
" congratulations " she managed to say.
" I'll never be able to meet your little one, but I hope they know that I love them with all my heart " She said, a tear falling down her grey cheeks.
That hurt me, it really did. She knows she's dying, and she doesn't know when it's coming. That must be horrible, and I sure know that it is for us too.
" I love you grandma " I cried, letting all of the tears that I'd been holding in come out.
" shhhh, I love you too " She croaked.
She was really struggling to speak now, and it was horrible to hear.
A little while later by Aunt came back, with a couple glasses of water in her hand for my grandma and I.
