Chapter 34

It was around 7am when my dad woke me up, today is supposed to be a good day hopefully after all of this horribleness over the past few months I went out to the kitchen to get a bowl of cereal "Sarah, what are you doing up?" My mom asked

"Dad invited me to come to the hospital today" I told her shoving my face with coco pops

"Hey can I join you on rounds?" I then asked

"You know that answer love" she then said

"Yeah yeah, go to college then med school blah blah" I got up and threw my bowl in the sink, followed in a sleepy Zola

"Hi mommy, hi Sarah" she said

"Hey sweet girl" I said walking out of the room and back into my own room choosing an outfit, I picked out white tank top paired with a blue cardigan, black jeans and black doc martens.

Mariah basically forces me buy a lot of cute clothes to impress people, I walk out of my room grabbing my bag and my phone "you ready?" Dad asked, I nodded and we all walked out the door like sorta happy family

Once we got to the hospital I brought my siblings to daycare and signed them in then walked down into my dads office "Sarah Shepherd as I live in breathe" mark said

"Mark, when did you get back? Is lexie here??" I questioned hugging my uncle

"Bailey persuaded us back to Seattle a couple months ago" he said releasing me from his embrace

"And Lexie was by the nurses station when I last saw her" he told me, I walked out of the office to go venture out to find my aunt

Once I got down to the lobby I saw a lot of people a mix of residents and med students, i try to get around them when I see someone I didn't think I would see. I try to get out of the crowd of people trying not to get any eye contact with that person, once I'm out I see Lexie "Lexie" I said, her eyes lit up in joy

"I feel like I haven't seen you in years, did you age?" She laughed, we hugged for a while when a resident walked up with his interns and that someone once they saw me their eyes grew big "I have to go but it was wonderful seeing you Sarah" Lexie said, I walked away when someone grabbed my shoulder

"Sarah" his voice that voice, I turned around to see Brian

"I have to go" I told him, trying to walk away he got infront of me

"We need to talk, I haven't seen you since" I interrupted him

"The kiss I know, your resident is waiting for you I have to go. Congrats on getting into med school" I finally was able to get out of that awkward situation, I walked up some steps when a doctor stopped me

"Sarah? Sarah Shepherd right?" She asked

"Yeah? Who are you" I asked

"I'm Dr. Brayer, your dad said I would find you here" she said

"What did my dad do now" I laughed

"Nothing, I actually am a therapist for ex cancer patients and he wanted me to talk to you about it" she told me

"Oh um. Why would I want to talk about it?" I asked her crossing my arms

"He wants you to get comfortable talking about it, I know how traumatic it must've been for you" she said. I sighed in frustration why would my dad talk to this lady about something I want to forget about

"I don't want to talk about anything, I'm fine now still living still breathing now if you excuse me I have to go" I said basically running up to go find my father I get to a nurses station

"Can you page Dr.Shepherd here please?" I asked a nurse

"Are you a patient?" She asked

"No I'm his daughter" I told her, she went pages him right away

I stood there for what felt like hours when I saw my dad walk up "hey Sarah, you paged?" He asked

"What the hell dad you talked a therapist about my cancer are you insane, I told you when I was done with it I never wanted to speak of it again and now you are basically forcing me to" I whispered yelled at him

"I never said you had to do it, I thought that if you could talk to someone who could actually help you get to talk about. I know it was hard for you, i was about to lose you my seven year old daughter. Your mother and I was scared out of our minds when you first got diagnosed, then you got into remission and I thought everything was okay then you shut us out for a bit then never talked about it again, I thought it was a nice suggestion to just get it out of your system then we can finally be done with it. It's been a rough four months for you and I felt like I was back in that situation again, I can't lose you again Sarah. When you showed up here 11 years ago and turned out you were my daughter I vowed I wouldn't let anything hurt you, then the cancer happened and the Brian thing I felt like I disobeyed my word" he said, I was stunned I didn't think it that way for him or my mom I just hugged him and he hugged me back

"I'm sorry" I said into his chest

"It's okay, you don't have to talk to her I just thought it would be a nice suggestion" he told me

I released from his embrace and turned around to see Brian "Brian, Sarah said you were out of town" dad said, i gave him a look and he gave me a confused one

"No, I've been at school" he said crossing his arms

"Brian how much of that did you hear" i asked him

"All of it"
