Have We Met? (Remington Leith)

Thunder in 214

I led Remington through the hallways of the hospital going to Sophia's room. Apparently Sophia has been listening to Palaye Royale since she was emitted in the hospital again and I just wanted to make sure that she got to meet at least Remington before anything bad did happen. Remington was down for the whole thing as well, he just didn't feel like going to the hospital because of the last time we were here.

I finally found room 214 and knocked on the door. I heard a small "come in" from Sophia so I walked in, making Rem wait outside for a minute. "Hey, Fee-fee," I said, looking at the small and fragile girl playing cards alone on her hospital bed. "How are you feeling," I asked and she looked up at me.

"I've been good. I've been happy all day since you came to see me," she said.

I felt my chest tighten, "did Kat go home already," I asked.

She nodded, putting the cards back into their stack. "Do you want to play," she asked.

"Yeah, but I have a surprise for you first," I said and she looked up at me with excited eyes.

"Really! What is it," she asked.

"Well, Kat was telling me about this band you've been listening to since you've gotten in here," I said and her eyes got wide. "When she told me the name of the band, I realized who the lead singer of that band was instantly," I said, building up suspense. "He just so happens to be-"

"Her boyfriend," Remington said coming in and striking a post.

Sophia laughed a little, bringing a smile to my face. "Oh come on, you mean you couldn't go for Sebastian," she said.

Rem held his chest as though he was in pain and a look of hurt came across his face. "That hurts," he said before falling into the couch behind him dramatically.

I laughed, sitting in the chair, "I don't know," I said, playing along with Sophia. "I mean, even Emerson would be better than him," I said.

Remington shot up, gasping. "That hurts even more," he said, looking at me like a puppy.

"We're just joking," Sophia said, gaining his attention. "I'm Sophia, by the way," she said, holding her hand out.

"Remington, as I believe you already know," he said, shaking her hand gently.

"No, definitely thought you were Emerson," she said sarcastically, rolling her eyes, making Remington laugh. "Do you mind if we take some pictures so my friends know this is actually happening, she asked, grabbing her phone off the table next to her.

"Why not," he said standing up. She moved over and he sat next to her. I watched as they posed in different positions, taking several different selfies on both of their phones.

I pulled out my phone and decided to record the whole process. I then posted it on Instagram with the caption:

This is what happens when your 14 year old cousin (@sophie-loves) is a fan of your boyfriend (@remingtonleith) and his brothers😂😍😊

The likes quickly started flying up and I opened up Lilly's contact and video called her. It rang three times before she picked up, showing me not only her face, but Emerson's as well.

"Sup, babe," She questioned, raising her eyebrow at me through the screen.

"I'm at the hospital with Rem, watching Sophia for Kat," I replied.

"Yeah, I was just looking at your post," she said, smiling.

"So she's a fan of Palaye," Emerson asked and I nodded in reply. "Give the phone to her, I want to say hi," he said and laughed.

"Fee-fee, phone for you," I said, interrupting her and Remington's photoshoot.

She looked at me curiously but took my phone from me and looked at the screen. I seen her face instantly light up and I felt proud of myself in that moment. Proud of myself for being able to make someone happy.

"Hi," she said, but I was unable to hear Emerson's reply as Sophia's doctor knocked on the door.

"Ms. Damicks, Kat informed me of your staying tonight so I wanted to tell you about something serious," she said and I nodded, standing up and leaving the room to the hallway.

I faced the doctor, and felt an instant wave of terror hit me just as it thundered.

"We we're looking at some tests we ran today and realized that the cancer has spread. In Sophia's case, this is bad. Where she has had this so many times before, it has already done damage in the past, and with more damage, she will die," she said and I felt my heart drop to my stomach.

"W-when do you expect her to," I asked, unable to finish that sentence.

"Sometime tonight, most definitely. We're asking you to call and tell Kat, as none of us really have the heart," the doctor said, speaking for herself and the rest of the medical staff.

I nodded in understanding and walked back into the room. Remington seen I was crying and hopped off the bed to hug me.

"What's wrong Kitten," he asked, rubbing my shoulders, while hugging me.

"Get my phone from Sophia and meet me in the hallway. I'll tell you there," I said, walking out of the room again. This is going to be the hardest thing I've ever done. Telling someone close to me that their sister going to die tonight.
