My Bi Professor [COMPLETED]

25-"Hi, Addison."

Hey guys! I recommend you check out Keiynan Lonsdale's new song, "Kiss The Boy"! It's available everywhere.
Also, you guys should watch Love, Simon! Keiynan has a part in it, and it is really just a great movie.

Ash-

The air was filled with the scent of tears, and fear.

It was all I could feel.

It took a while to get Andi off of the floor. It was almost impossible. But, we were able to make our way to the hospital.

Nathan and Phoenix were there, too. Nathan was rubbing circles in Andi's knee, and Phoenix was leaning her head on my shoulder, ignoring the fight shared.

We all love Addison. Addison is Andi's mom's name.

A nurse came around to our waiting area with a clipboard tucked away in her right arm. We weren't able to see Addison immediately, because she was still unconscious from her fall, and Andi insisted we didn't disturb her.

The nurse was wearing a tealish uniform, with the edges of a black shirt and pants showing out of the ends. She looked exactly like a tv nurse.

Andi lifted her head from where she planted it on Nathan's chest at the sound of the footsteps approached. She tried to bolt up, but got dizzy, and had to sit back down. She took a deep breath before taking her time to get to her feet. I saw her open her mouth to say something, but nothing came out. She was too focused on holding back more tears.

The nurse decided to start, seeing Andi's trouble. "Your mom's fine. She's awake, and asking for you. Room 113." She points down the hall, where doors lined the hall. Not too far down, there was the number 113 in white print, with a teal background the same color as the nurse's outfit.

Andi nodded her head repeatedly, and took another deep breath before heading down the hall. I followed, then Nathan, then Phoenix.

Andi pushed open the door so hard that it slammed into the wall, and I didn't even have to touch it to get through.

My vision immediately went blurry as I saw the limp figure laying weakly on the hospital bed. "Hi, Addison," my voice quivered as I greeted her. I did a small wave, but she waved me over to give her a hug. I reluctantly agreed.

Addison was a lovely old lady. She was like that friendly and hip grandma that everybody loved. She had gray hair that was cut pixie style, but there was visibly white hairs here and there. Her body was small, but her heart was large. She once had a husband, but he died, and you could see the toll it had taken on her. Still, she was always happy and helpful.

As I crouched down into her arms, I heard her whisper into my air, "Hello, Ash." Just those simple words made the tears fall.

"Hello, Addison," I spit out another greeting.

I pull away, and she hugs Nate and Phee. Neither of them even had a trace of tears on them, just mellow sadness.

We had all known Addison almost our whole lives, but nobody was as close to her as I was. With only Colton to take care of me, I ended up spending a lot of time over at Andi's. Addison was like my mother, while to Nathan and Phoenix, she was always just their friend's mom.

"Hi, Ma. How are you feeling?" Andi asked in a still shaky voice. Addison reached up and held Andi's arm.

Addison smiled and nodded. "I'm doing fine, honey."

"Good. Good." More and more tears fell down Andi's face as she talked to her mom.

The three of us stood awkwardly in the corner until Addison turned to us. "Would you mind if I had a moment with my son?" The old woman asked. She had gotten to calling me that ever since I accidentally called her 'Mom' when I was 13.

I somehow manage to find a chuckle in my chest as she says this. My three friends leave, Nathan giving me a surprisingly sympathetic look as he exited.

I took a seat beside her bed. Her smiling face looked up at me, a small cough being released. Soon, the small cough turns into a whole fit, and I place my hand on her arm to try to calm her.

Once Addison is finally breathing normally, she sighs. "I'm dying, Ash." She tells me.

I resist the urge to jerk away my hand. Instead, I offer a small squeeze. "What?" I say in a puny voice.

"I'm dying." She repeats. "Lung problem. It's bad. I have a few days, a week, maybe."

I wanted to roll into a ball and cry. I wanted to punch somebody. I wanted for her to tell me it was all a joke. I wanted to beg her to say it was a joke.

Instead, all that came out was, "Does Andi know?" My voice was surprisingly steady, but it was almost inaudible. I could barely hear myself. I could only feel my warm breath against my own arm.

Addison released another sigh. "No. I haven't had the courage to tell her."

Not knowing what else to do, I have her another squeeze. "And, I'm sorry about the break up." She says. "That must be hard." I let out a scoff under my breath, shaking my head slightly. "But, you'll always be my son." She reached her arm up to mine, this time giving my arm a squeeze. Her hands were boney and frail, and would have hurt if her grip wasn't so light.

I started crying, and again had to resist balling up on the floor, screaming until my throat was dust, and crying until I was a prune. "And... and you'll always be my mom." I say.

This got a smile out of her, which in turn made me smile. "So, have you thought of names for the twins?"

I was about to tell her that we hadn't yet decided. I was about to tell her that we didn't even know the genders. But, something sparked in me. At that moment, I knew. I knew.

I shave my head, and chuckle. "Yeah, we have, actually." I inform her.

"And?"

"Ajax and Addison." I say with all the confidence in the world.

Addison was beaming. "I love it."

"I knew you would."

"So, how has your love life been going?" She asks with nudge, winking.

I hesitate, trying to form an answer that'd be reasonable. "I'm... taking a break, for a while." I decide to tell her. I couldn't tell her what was happening after the reaction I got from my friends.

"I get it." She simply said.

"When are you going to tell her?" I blurt out. "Andi deserves to know."

Addison's eyes turn sad. "I know, I know. I'm telling her today."

"Good. I love you, Addison."

"I love you, Ash."
