Get Away From Me (Niall Horan)

Chapter 12

TEALA'S POV

I could absolutely not sleep at all last night, those devilish creatures kept popping up in my dreams! How could Louis bring them in my mind and disturb my slumber!

Wait........Louis. Oh. God.

Isn't his 'fiancé' coming today?! And aren't me and the girls going with them to San Diego for the day?! I mean we confirmed with the boys yesterday, but I totally forgot about her!

I bet she's nice and pretty and perfect for Louis, but I have feelings for him. And seeing him with someone else would be like my dreams last night times a thousand.

I should probably just fake a sickness? But that would be so stupid, I would much rather try to hang out with the other boys and the girls ignoring the fact that they'll probably be all over each other.

I got outta bed and brushed my teeth to walk out and see Tara sprawled out on the couch fast asleep. Then, I found a note from Mia.

'Gonna be out for a little while. I feel good enough to drive. I'll be back before we
leave.

-Mia xx'
Where could she have gone when she just healed? I mean it's only like eight in the morning......

MIA'S POV

I was fiddling around in my chair waiting for my blood tests. The anxiety is unbearable and seeing all of these ill patients with similar expressions on there faces doesn't make me feel any better.

And okay, how is jeopardy supposed to distract you from your health issues? And it's the medical edition episode too!

I waited about another ten minutes for my name to be called to go inside to see my doctor. This is making me even more nervous.

C'mon Jimmy choose Heart Diseases for 1600!

"Mia Caider, you may go inside now." Holy. Oh man.

The nurse guided me past many doors and into a certain one for me to wait for my doctor. More waiting. Great.

I sat on the patient bed thing which makes me quite uncomfortable and the paper keeps making annoying noises whenever I move. Egh.

Just then, Dr. Perri walked in with a not so calming face. He greeted me and told me to sit down on the other end of his desk. And so I did.

"Well Ms.Caider, I have looked at your blood tests and it seems as if the worst comes to show." Right when he said that, a tear rolled down my cheek and I felt as if the room was closing in on me.

How could I have been so stupid?!

"No, no. Please tell me that's not it. And that those results don't say that!" I said as tears continuously kept rolling down my cheeks and he just shook his head sadly.

"I'm sorry to say this but I have to be frank with you. Your bones,Ms.Caider, are receding." Receding. As in fading. This was my worst case scenario.

"Receding. Huh?" I snorted a mad laugh with liquid rolling down both cheeks now. The doctor just looked at me like I had seen the ghost of Christmas past.

But, I couldn't help it. After all these years, I thought I was going to be fine because there were no signs or deficiencies in my body. Every year they would tell me I was healthy and to maintain that.

But who knew they would turn out to be fucking wrong? Who knew that what me and everyone around me was terrified of what is now my present?

I never thought my past would haunt me until today. I never registered. I never considered.
