You Took My Breath Away

Chapter Sixteen

Isaac comes in around 7:36pm that night to close the curtains and blinds. He comes over to the side of my bed and sits on the side, near my feet. "I heard the exciting news!" He says, smiling like never before. I nod with excitement. He gives me a soft, passionate kiss, and smiles at me. Looking into my blue eyes he softly says, "I love you. You take my breath away." I blush as he says this, covering my red cheeks with the blanket. "I take your breath away? Look at you, how do you think i got here in the first place?" I say, giggling, he laughs. "Is that so?" He says, sneakily. Suddenly, Doctor. Bruce comes in, without warning. "Doctor. Middleton, I need to speak with you. Immediately." Isaac gives me a soft warm smile, as he gets up and follows Bruce out the door. "How can you do this Isaac?" I hear Bruce say. I don't hear anything else because Isaac pulls Bruce by the arm, to a more private area. What did Isaac do? Is he in trouble? What's going on? I start to panic, which doesn't help me. My heart starts to race and my monitors start beeping like crazy, which I hate, because people always know when i'm panicking. A nurse comes in shortly after to check up on me. "Panicking again are we?" She says, with a slight chuckle. I smile, hiding the fear and worry behind it. After a long forty-five minutes Isaac returns. I shoot up as soon as I see him and give him a puzzled look. He gives a weak, but soft, smile back. I look into his once dreamy brown eyes, but they're just full of sadness now. He looks at the floor and I snap my fingers to get his attention. He comes over to my bed and whispers in my ear "I love you." He kisses me, and with a tear rolling down his face, he walks out.
