*Chapter 4*
*Beep* *Beep* *Beep* *Beep* I opened my eyes. I was in a brown room. It had machines next to me. Blake was sitting next to me staring at the moniter. Kay, Lilly, and Kendall were sitting on the couch asleep.
"Where am i?" i asked Blake jerked in my direction.
"Thank god you woke up." He said kissing my cheek. " I thought you wounldn't wake up at all. It broke my heart. I just wanted to kill him, for doing that to you." Blake said he kiss my forehead. "Are you in pain? Hurt? Do you need some water? Ash how do you feel? Ash answer my question." he asked impatially.
"Blake back off. I know what she means to you but you need to back off." a lady said walking in.
"Ok Ashley I'm Miss Linda Martin. But you can call me Linda.After you situation i casted a spell to heal your wounds. How do you feel?" she asked.
"My head kinda hurts, and my ankle is kinda sore." i said truthfully.
"Your head hurts because of the alcohol you had. And your ankle is sore because magic couldn't fix that all the way. You should keep the brace on it for at least a few days. " she said. "Now if everyone would leave i really want to talk to Ash." she said and everyone left without question. "Ash have you been to the doctor lately?" she asked and i silently nodded. "So you know about your illness?" She kinda whispered the illness part, nobody ever said cancer out loud, just illness, or problem.
"Linda i don't want people to know. I went a year ago. I have 2 part time jobs for money for it. My parents don't know. And if they did they probably won't care. I've been called a lot of things but i don't need this too. Just can you keep this between us?" i asked as a pair of tears rolled down my cheek.
"Have you been taking your meds correctly? From my scan you don't even have the right meds in you." she said concerned.
"I can't afford the right kind. I can't get it. just a week ago i ran across my mom's bills. She had at least 50,000 on loan. I can't do that to her. She may not even care but i just can't. I have 2 jobs, i work my butt off but you have to be a millionare to care for this stuff." i said. "I earn at least 2 thousand dollars a month considering my job as the news paper, the coffee shop, my allowance and my daily chores." i said.
"Have you ever thought of telling anyone?" she asked.
"Why? So they could give my pity? I don't have a much left i can do. Linda just help me keep this a secret." i pleaded.
"Fine but you have to let me help you pay for your meds." She said.
"I couldn't. You can't just use your money on my meds.'" i said.
"Just think about this. I will just pay part of it. Ok? Like funding a royal. It's good for the witch / warlock worlds. Honestly when i read you file i fell in love with you. Your strong, caring, smart, and not a rich snob. And i was glad, because your the first real royal the school's found in a while. I have to tell you something when people say royal they mean like duchess, and stuff. But your a real princess. I know you've tried to contact your DNA blood Father but didn't get to him. I'm sure he's very busy with things going on." she said honestly.
"So it's like doing something for your country like being a troop?" i asked. And she nodded. "Deal but you can't tell anyone. Don't give me the pity looks, and no talking to me like i had a baby or something. OK?" i asked as i held my hand out.
She took it and shook it, "Deal no talking about it unless it's just you and me." she said.
"Fine. Can i go now?" i asked.
"We have classes tomorrow. Ask someone to show you around. Your schedule and meds are in a purple bag on your bed when you get home. And from 2 to 4 you have personal classes with me, meet me in cabin #12." she said as she was about to walk out she paused and pulled a needle out of my arm and putted a bandage on it.
"Thanks." i said before i walked out.
