The Story Of Us

Part 27

Nichole POV
Today was rough. Like, so rough that I'm scared to even tell Harvey. I love him and I trust him with my life, but I'm scared for his reaction.
Long story short, my dad came home pissed and took it out on me. He told me that I'll never amount to anything and that I'm just a waste of space. That's nothing compared to the beating I got. I'll save you the details and just tell you about the horrid aftermath. I have a bruise and a cut on my left cheek, a busted lip, a huge bruise on my side, and I huge cut across my forehead.
After he decided to pass out on the couch, I went into my bathroom and cleaned up my fresh wounds. I cleaned them and saw the razor sitting there. No Nichole, don't do it. Who would care? Harvey would care. Would he really? Yes, he would. He'll get over it quickly.
As my thoughts were fighting my hand slid closer to the razor. As my finger tips touched the metal blade, my phone went off. It was a face time call. Do I really have to specify who it is?
I answered, forgetting about my cuts until I saw his eyes wide open and his jaw on the floor.

Harvey?
What happened?!
I fell down the stairs
What happened?!
I fell down the stairs Harvey
Stop saying that. It's a lie

I sighed.

My dad
Nichole, are you okay?
Yeah, I'm okay
Please show me your arms

So I did. He wanted to make sure I was okay. I heard him sigh of relief.

I'm not going to lie to you Harvey...i thought about doing it. At that moment, you called me. You're my guardian angel
I'll protect you as much as I can

I couldn't help the smile that grew on my face.

We talked for hours before he had to go.

Since it was still day time for me, I decided to go for a walk. I walked to the park and stayed for a little while. It was on my way back home when everything went black.

Harvey POV
Somethings wrong. I don't know what It is, but something's wrong. I woke up scared. I immediately called Nichole but I didnt get an answer. When she didn't answer, I called her home phone. A woman answered.

"Hello?"
"Hi, this is Harvey Mills. Is Nichole there?" I asked.
"I'm sorry she went to the park a little while ago."
"I'm sorry, this may seem weird, but can you please check on her? I have a weird feeling and she's not answering her phone."
"Yes, I'll go make sure she's okay and I'll keep you updated," the woman said. I thanked her then hung up the phone. I really hope she's okay.

Kelly's POV (Nichole's Mom)
When Harvey called me i had begun to get worried. When i was walking to the park, the sight was horrible. Nichole was laying in the road, unconscious. I ran up to her and she had cuts and bruises everywhere. I'm assuming she was hit by a car. I quickly pulled out my phone and called 911.
Right now we're in the ambulance on the way to the hospital.
I decided to update Harvey. If it weren't for him, she would still be laying there.

"Hello," I heard his worried and scared voice say. I explained to him what i saw and where we were going.
"Please tell her when she wakes up that i love her and hope she gets better real soon," he said. It sounded like he was in tears.

"Of course I will Harvey." Then I hung up.

Nichole POV
I woke up to a bunch of bright lights, along with my mom standing there.
"Honey are you okay?!" She asked as she hugged me.

"It hurts mom. Really bad," I told her. I head felt like it was going to explode.
The doctor came and gave me some medicine.

"Honey, if it weren't for Harvey i never would have known," she told me. I have her a confused look.

"He called me saying he had a strange feeling. He was really worried and when you didn't answer he called me asking me to check on you."

I couldn't help but smile. He does care. A lot.
I picked up my phone and called him. Not face time, because I have no idea how I look.

"NICHOLE!" he screamed as soon as he answered.

"Well hello to you too," I said chuckling.
"Im so glad you're okay," he said. I would hear the relief in his voice.
"I'm fine Harvey. They still have to do a few tests though," I informed him.
"I love you so much," he said.
"I love you too Harvey," I told him. I had to hang up when the doctor came in. I texted Harvey to tell him why I hung up on him.
"Miss, we have to take you in for testing, but it shouldn't take long," the doctor informed us. I nodded and set my phone down. He wheeled me into this room with one of those scan machines. I went into the scan and soon after I came back out.
When I went back in my hospital room they took my mom in the hallway to talk to her.
Harvey im scared
Don't be baby everything will be okay
They took my mom into the hallway to talk to her...
You're strong and I know there's nothing that you can't get through
I hope you're right

My mom walked back in and she had tears falling down her face. This can't be good.

"Call Harvey. I need to tell both of you something," she said. You have no idea how scared I am right now.
I called him, and he picked up on the first ring.
"Is everything okay?" He asked. My mom took a deep breath.

"Nichole...she...uh..." she was at a loss for words.

"Mom? What's going on?" I asked. She motioned for the doctor to come over because she was to much of a mess to tell us. I was looking at Harvey, and we were both terrified.

"Miss Nichole, over the past years you have received serious trauma to your brain which caused a tumor. That tumor is brain cancer," the doctor said. I couldn't say anything. It felt like my lungs were closing in on eachother. I could feel the hot tears running down my face. I looked at Harvey, who wasn't even in the view of the camera. The only indication I had that he was still there was the sobbing I heard. I saw Max rush in the room running past the phone. I heard him asking Harvey what happened and telling him that he would be okay. Max shouted for their mom, and she came running in doing the same thing as Max. After a minute it fell silent and the only thing I could hear were the sobs of my boyfriend.
I had fallen asleep to the sound of Harvey singing. After he had calmed down his mom and Max left, still unaware of what's going on. I asked Harvey to sing to me, and he did.

Harvey POV
When the doctor said brain cancer,  I lost it. I was crying so hard that I fell on the floor. Max and my mom came rushing in asking me what happened and telling me everything would be okay. I was to much if a mess to explain what was going on and it won't be okay. Not till she's better.
When I was calmed down, she asked me to sing to her. I could tell she was really tired. I sang a few songs and she fell asleep. Right now, in just watching her in her peaceful sleep, trying to ignore all of the wires and tubes connected to her.
I ended the call, and went downstairs where mom and Max were sitting. Both seemed very worried. I sat in front of them, and they looked up at me.

"Harvey, what happened," Max asked, worry lacing his voice. I took a deep breath.

"She has b...brai...brain cancer," I stuttered out. I started crying all over again. Max jumped up and hugged me, letting me cry into his shoulder.
After a few minutes, my mom spoke up.

"Were going to visit her," she said. I froze.

"Really?!" I screamed. She nodded and showed me her phone where she had purchased 3 tickets. We leave tomorrow morning.
