Lora and Brad start their journey to the hospital on foot since there's no public transport
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
With Brad supporting her, they started the journey to the hospital. Lora did her very best not to limp but some of her attempts failed. They would have to walk at least 30 minutes. The perfect time for Lora to get to know more about her idol and Brad would be seeing more of the city, since he was taking a week off.
"So," Lora said, "What brings you here anyway"?
"I'm taking the week off, as you may know, I just finished my tour and I needed to have a break."
"So you're here by yourself? No one else joining you during your city trip?"
"Nope, just me".
"And here I am, disturbing your vacation." Lora said feeling guilty.
"Oh no, not at all, you know, to be honest, I'm glad to be to have a real conversation this week. The only conversations I had the last 2 days were that's so much Sir Thomson, Thank you, come again!"
They both started laughing. There he was, funny Brad, as seen on his YouTube video-diaries. They seemed to get along very well. Talking about all kinds of subjects ranging from favorite foods to school. Lora still couldn't believe this was happening to her. This couldn't be real. It could only happen in a movie but yet, here she was, talking to Brad. He was a really sweet guy, just as normal as everybody else. Always kind, modest and down to earth. He certainly isn't the male version of Lady Gaga.
Lora enjoyed her time with him now. This wouldn't last forever, once she will get to the hospital, he would go on and she would never see him again. When they paused for a few minutes Brad was taking a few pictures of the city. He travels a lot, but hardly has the time to see some of each city, he was really enjoying his time now. They were walking for almost an hour now, which both of them didn't mind.
Brad really seemed to like Lora. You could tell. He was staring at her a lot while they were talking; watching how Lora's brown hair got entangled because of the wind, how her cute smile appeared when he said something funny and how Brad managed to take a few pictures from her while she didn't notice.
Was this love at first sight? Lora couldn't keep her eyes off him. She thought he looked even better in real life. She never thought they would get along so well. It felt like those two knew each other for years.
"Is everything OK?" Brad asked.
"Yes, but it is pretty tiring though, limping through the city..."
"Understandable. Jump on my back, I'll carry you for a while."
"No, no, you don't have to, I'll walk... well, limp (;"
"No you're not." Brad said laughing and made sure Lora had to jump on his back.
Lora screamed and laughed at the same time. She thought she was about to fall for the third time today, but Brad held on to her strongly.
"Don't you dare let go of me unannounced." Lora threatened playfully.
"No, no I won't, trust me!"
The two went on laughing and teasing each other. After a journey of 1.5 hour, they finally arrived at the hospital. Lora insisted on going to the 6th floor instead of going to the ER. Her mom worked on the 6th floor. She would be able to speed up Lora's treatment. Lora told Brad that he didn't have to stay in the hospital because if he did, he could be waiting for hours. But Brad didn't mind. It was either waiting for Lora and maybe have a few more funny moments together or going back to the hotel now and spend the rest of the day by himself.
