Second Chance :: Nathan Chen

Chapter 22

Song: Not Ok by Kygo and Chelsea Cutler

Vincent's POV

I walk hurriedly down the hotel hallway making my way to my room.

"Vincent."

I turn towards the sound of the voice.

It's Nathan.

"What?" I ask annoyed.

"What's up with Kierra?" Nathan asks seriously.

"Nothing," I lie through my teeth.

"Something's wrong, what is it?" Nathan asks again.

"It's none of your business," I lash out.

"Vincent, I care about Kierra," Nathan states.

"Well if you cared you wouldn't have cheated on her," I scream storming away.

"Vincent, please," Nathan begs from the other end of the hallway.

"You fucking broke her heart, you shattered it. Just so you could be with Amber? Was it worth it?" I ask.

"Vincent-"

"I don't ever know what she saw in you. You hurt her so much, you broke her." 

"I'm sorry," Nathan whispers. 

"Sorry's not going to cut it."

"Can you guys stop yelling?" Adam asks walking out of his room in a bathrobe. 

"What's wrong with Kierra?" I ask. "I need to know."

Adam stands there totally rigid. 

"I have a right to know, she was my best friend, I promised her brother I would look out for her," Nathan states. 

"She's not your best friend anymore, and you broke that promise a long time ago," I state. 

"Tell him," Adam commands suddenly. 

"I promised her," I state. 

"I will then," Adam says. "Kierra has cancer, she's going to die. She needs a donor with the same blood type."

Nathan stands with his mouth wide open. 

"I need to see her."

Nathan's POV

Taking a deep breath I open the door to Kierra's room leaving Vincent outside.

Kierra's eyes open wide staring at me in shock.

"What the fuck?" She asks recoiling away from me.

"Kierra, I, I,-"

"What are you doing here? Who told you?" Kierra says interrupting me.

"Kierra, can you just tell me what's going on?" I ask.

"Nothing is going on," she says fiercely.

"Yes, because the fact that you're laying in a hospital bed hooked up to machines is nothing," I deadpan.

Kierra adverts her glance to the plain white sheet on her lap.

"You know everything already, someone already told you, there's no point," Kierra says calmly.

"Kierra, I, I," I stammer.

"Look, I get it. You moved on, you have a perfect life with a now perfect girl. Who apparently was better than me. Just forget about it, okay? Forget about me. Forget about us," Kierra states.
