Okay sorry for the lateness and shortness. Also I planned this really as a short story. So please don’t be mad, okay? Okay. Onto the chapter.
Chapter 8
Fast forward.
Madelyn’s POV
1 week before graduation.
I was in my room getting ready for the last step of my life. Breathe in, breathe out. Relax, this is the last step. I just need to talk to him then move one more time. This is do or die, literally. If I don’t overcome this one last time, there’s no going back now.
You’re probably wondering what in the world am I talking about. Well I’m talking about me being admitted again to the hospital. A few months ago I was just fine but now, I won’t even be able to stand up and go and pee by myself.
-----------FlashBack-----------------
5 months ago…
We were having a test when I suddenly felt I light headed and a bit dizzy. It’s weird; I don’t normally feel like this. After the test I ran towards the girls bathroom and I vomited a bit of blood and most of my breakfast. What the hell?! Why on earth am I vomiting blood?! Last time this happened was when… and that’s when everything just clicked. Everything that has been happening. The coughing, teary eyes, and sore throats. How can this happen?! What could’ve triggered it again?! Please let me be wrong! I cant have this again!!!!! I can’t lose someone this time, not again. Plus if I know how it feels watching someone dying and you cant even do anything to help them! Dammit! I don’t want anyone hurt and I don’t want anyone to do everything for me. trust me it sucks when I mean everything, and there is absolutely no privacy.
I don’t want Nicolai to feel what felt when I saw Cody on a hospital bed, practically lifeless and- and I don’t want anyone to feel that pain because of me.
I didn’t notice I was crying until I felt a tear land on my hand. I wiped my tears and called my mom.
“Mom?”
“Yes, Maddy?”
“Can you please pick me up? I don’t feel so good.”
“Okay. Honey are you crying?”
“No, mom. I just feel really sick.”
“I’m on my way now. Just wait for me at the parking lot. I’ll be there in 10 minutes or less.”
“Thanks, mom.”
“No worries honey.”
The she hung up. I think you have a lot to worry about mom.
After she picked me up. She drove to the hospital and I think she knows what’s up, because of how fast she was driving towards the E.R. I swear, she was like lightning on the road.
My vision blacked out for the next second. I couldn’t open my eyes, the small things are only what I can feel, like little breathing, movements around me and faint voices of people.
_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+
“Mrs. Roberts? Why did you…”
Nicolai. Why was he here? And why did my mother call him? Am I dead? No that’s impossible since I’m still here and I can hear them. Did it come back? Please let it be a no. please let it be a no. I don’t want to hurt anyone anymore. Especially, someone like him.
“What happened to Maddy?!” his was voice cracked, shaky, full of sadness, and also fear. Fear of me leaving him again, but maybe this time, I wont be back. I don’t want to leave him again.
The last time that happened, it broke the two of us. It wasn’t just one sided but both. I was hurt, he was hurt. We had been hurting since. I don’t want him or me feeling that way again. I hope I can win again. Round 2 has just begun. This time, I wont have to fight alone, I’ll have him by my side. If he doesn’t leave. I hope he doesn’t, ‘cause I wont be able to do this alone, I had Cody before but he was fighting something stronger, while I had something that was still minor. I lost someone to this battle, I’m not losing another again.
“I’m so sorry Nicolai, but I think she wont be able to attend prom or even graduation.”
“What?!”
“I’m sorry, Nic. You can stay with her until you like, I’ll go talk to the doctors about her condition. But no matter what happens, i would like to say thanks. I know you love her as much as she loves you.”
After she said that I heard a door open and close. And I heard Nic walking towards me. When he held my hand, I felt fireworks explode in my stomach. I was never this cheesy; I’m not the cheesy one in this relationship.
“Maddy, please wake up. Or at least open your eyes. I know you can hear me Maddy.” He said with a little chuckle but I know he’s just covering up his emotions.
“Alright fine.” I opened my eyes to be greeted by a pair of hazel brown eyes. “how’d you know I was awake?”
“You can’t fool me Maddy. I know you like the back of my hand.” A smirk was plastered to his face.
“Okay.” Then everything began to sink. I was in a hospital bed, my mother thinks I might not attend prom or worse graduation. Plus I can see the fear in Nic’s eyes of losing me.
A tear fell on my cheek and was immediate followed by another and another until I couldn’t stop it. I felt Nic’s hands cup my face and wiped my tears away. He didn’t say anything. Silence was wrapping around us. We didn’t mind, as long as I’m still breathing, I will fight. I’ll fight for myself and for him. Without him, I wouldn’t be the person I became before this happened.
----------------back to reality------------------
I passed all my exams and I was able to have my last dance of high school.
But that’s for another chapter. It looks better on Nic’s POV. But let me tell you this, everything is romantic as long as your with the person you love and that person loves you back.
