You know this disturbing peep that's so high pitched it makes you feel almost as if your brain is about to explode. I opened my eyes to find myself in a white room with a white door in front of me. The appearance of neutrality I sensed in the room made me conclude that I was in a hospital. It took me a couple of minutes until I became fully aware of my surroundings; I looked to my left when I sensed a person next to me to find Kayl sitting on a green couch for two.

Was he watching me sleep all this time? I mean he could see I was awake but he wouldn't even bother say anything or check on me. Oh my god why am I even here?

"What happened?" I asked as he apparently decided not to share this information with me.

"Did you know you have diabetes?" His gaze hardened like he thought I hid this piece of information from them.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) identifies insulin use as an absolutely disqualifying condition to receiving a medical certificate to operate aircraft. I legally can't be a pilot anymore.

I wasn't hiding any information. Neither did I lie. I did not know I have diabetes. I did not know that I was a chronic patient. And will be for the rest of my life..

And suddenly my brain froze, my heart got cold and a shiver of pain passed down my spine leaving me senseless. Too sad to even comprehend it. With both my parents suffering from diabetes I knew I was gonna end up with it eventually but I just thought not now. Not when I'm nothing but 27. Not when I had just gotten back to flying. You can't take this away from me again! I drowned deeply in a sea of sadness and fear of an unwanted future full of medications and doctors. And well,, being jobless.

"You didn't know?" His gaze softened. He held eye contact for a while. He seemed too sad about it than i thought he would. Or maybe it wasn't sadness. I couldn't read his expression for the life of me.

He got up and left the room. Couple of minutes later a brunette doctor wearing walked in followed by a nurse who gave me a faint smile that I didn't return back. Sorry but I have no smiles left in me.

"Miss Hobz, I hope you're feeling better now." The doctor said checking out the monitor next to me. I was still feeling scared and sad, but I hoped that talking to the doctor would make me feel better.

"Do I?.." No words came out of me.

"Destiny you have diabetes, nothing is bad or good about it. As long as you take you keep your blood sugar monitored and controlled on time you'll have nothing to complain about." He was also talking in a very cold attitude that made me feel that the whole place was hating on me and trying to tear me apart.

"Okay." I nodded looking to the other direction showing that i want him out of my room and he did. But the nurse wasl standing next to me.

"Oh darling, feel no sadness. Everything is going to be fine." She waited for me to look cheered up but I didn't, nothing in the world could make me feel better at that moment. It wasn't even the illness that broke me, it was not being able to fly. I couldn't keep looking at her happy face so I just stared at the white door in front of me.

"Oh I bet you want your boyfriend to come back, I don't blame you dear. If I were you I won't let that handsome young man stay out of my sight." She was talking about Kayl and when she did she again got my attention, I looked at her to find her still smiling at me.

"We're not,,, he's not my boyfriend." I said seeing her smily face turn to a shocked face.

"Oh well,, you must be very good friends. He seemed worried sick about you. Didn't let you get of his sight." She giggled. "Well your friend is at the accountant's office right now paying for your stay." She gave me a smirk before she walked out the white door, she shut it behind her and I was alone in the pale white room thinking about Kayl.
