Living For You (GxG)

Emergency

It's nearing the end of January and already I can feel the pressure of Nora's illness. Within the past week, Nora's mobility has only gotten worse and her speech has deteriorated slightly. She still refuses to even request medication that could help ease the pain and possibly even aid in her mobility.

Nora doesn't want to be a bother to anyone, but I want her to so that she can remain here with me...

I have asked her countless times to change her mind, but nothing I can say and nothing I can do could ever do anything of the sort. She's stubborn like I am. In this case though, that just may lead to her downfall. Do I want to see her suffer? No, of course not, but what can I do to change someone's mind when she's so intent on doing what she believes to be right. She's hurting physically and mentally while I'm only hurting mentally, but even if I can't understand what she's going through it still pains me to think about what she's dealing with.

I have asked her countless times why her parents wouldn't send her to a more established doctor that is well-known in medical cases like hers. She didn't answer. It's become quite obvious that they don't seem to care for her as I do. One can only imagine how it feels to have their parents not care either way if they live or die. I haven't seen nor spoken to them even once and I already hate their guts. I'm sorry, but no one deserves to be treated as an object like Nora is. It's completely disgusting and irritating!

I have to calm down... Nora wouldn't like how agitated I'm getting from this...

Yeah... Nora will get angry at me... She has been avoiding me a little lately after our slight argument about... about how long she had left to live. I asked her to meet me at the café today around noon, but when I went there to see her she was nowhere to be seen.

I'm worried now... It's not like her to stand me up like this... I have to go check up on her...

I started to run. It's probably the first time in my life that I have ever been so rushed and on the verge of screaming.

She has to be in her dorm... That's the only place she could be at this point!

When I got to her room, dripping head to toe in sweat, I could see that her door was cracked open. My foot tapped it ever so slightly, and right there on the floor laid Nora. She was breathing heavily and clinging onto her legs in an uncomfortable looking position.

"Nora! Nora, what happened? Are you alright? Shit! Hold on, I'm going to grab your crutches!" I shouted, skipping across her sprawled body to get further into her room. I scanned the small area and searched everywhere for her crutches, but they were nowhere to be seen. My eyes happened to land on her desk where there laid a hearing aid.

What's with this? Don't tell me...

I walked back over to Nora and tried to put her hearing aid on her. It was then that she responded to me like she didn't even know I was there a few moments ago.

"Nora... is it getting that bad? Why can't you tell me about these things? We will talk about this later... For now, I need to get you to the hospital again..." I told her, getting ready to pick her up in my arms. She whimpered slightly and begged me to set her back down on the floor. "Nora! I'm so sorry! Oh fuck... what do I do?" I whimpered. Nora raised her arm up and easily caressed my face with a smile on her own. My hand shot into my pocket to pull out my phone to dial 911. A few students came over to the room and asked if everything was alright, but all I could manage to do was pray quietly to a God I don't even believe in. One of them tapped me on the shoulder, so I responded like any normal human being and begged them to help me find her crutches and even a heating pad that she may have in her room. A few people came in and searched around the room while I rocked back and forth beside Nora, waiting for my call to be directed...

Here I am, once again, sitting in the corridor to wait for clearance to see Nora. I waited for hours upon hours to see her, but visitor hours soon ended without me even being able to get a glance at her and her condition. I was forced to go back to my dorm and try to go to bed, but I didn't sleep, I hadn't eaten anything since the morning, and I stared up at the ceiling until morning came.

If this is how I'm feeling, I can't imagine how Nora is feeling... I wish I could switch places with her... I want to switch places with her...

It's already January 30th. I only have about a month and a half left with Nora until... the end. I have my classes today, but seeing Nora is more important right now. I'll just ask someone for the notes later on today... With that said, I have to go see Nora now. I just have to...

I went back to the hospital again, but this time I brought some coffee and sweets from the café. She'll need her strength for today...

Nora was laying motionless on the hospital with small breathes that had escaped her slightly opened mouth. It wasn't until my eyes locked onto an unknown man that was in the room with her that I had stopped moving closer to her.

"Who are you?" I called out to him. The man turned around swiftly and raised his eyebrows at me in confusion.

"I could ask you the same thing. Why don't you go first, little lady?" He bellowed. I felt an uneasiness in the pit of my stomach, but did as he said and introduced myself.

"I'm Adelle, Nora's... friend." I lied. The man smiled and strided closer to me.

"Ah, yes. I'm Mr. Goebel. Nora's father."
