TW: disease diagnosis

"You should sit." The doctor said to me. My gaze followed her hand as she gestured towards one of the seats that was placed against the wall.

I moved myself over to it, placing myself down as I glanced up to Rey. She looked so concerned, had the doctor told them something that I hadn't heard about yet?

My brows furrowed as I looked back over to the doctor. Rey placed herself in the chair next to me, her hand rubbing my back, as Armie paced on the other side of the room, his hand placed on his chin, clearly deep in thought.

"Miss Hux, there are a couple things that I would like to discuss with you." The doctor began. "I've talked with a couple of your family members already." Definitely referring to Armie and Rey. "We have found something of concern on your test results." She glanced at Rey before continuing. "I've shared that information with your family, but I wanted you to be here when we discussed what those results mean, as well as treatment option."

Treatment options. What the fuck was that supposed to mean?

I felt my body tensing, pure fear coursing through me as my mind shot to the irrational, or rather the genuine possibilities.

The doctor placed a hand on my knee. "We found some abnormalities with the veins in your spinal cord."

Deep breaths, Gi, deep breaths.

"There was major inflammation. We decided to run a few more tests and we discovered the source of the inflammation and in turn the reason for the fainting spells and the nausea."

I clenched my jaw, attempting to real in my thoughts.

"You have what is called Central Nervous System, or CNS, Vasculitis."

"What does that mean?" Rey asked. I glanced over to her and could see her holding in all of her emotions as well.

My eye shot back over to the doctor as she continued. "CNS Vasculitis is an autoimmune condition." She took a moment. "It means that your body is attacking itself."

My body is attacking itself?

"Unfortunately, it is a disease that we don't know much about just yet, but there are treatment options."

What a way to bring my hopes up doc.

I didn't express my thoughts out loud, only nodding, letting her know to continue.

"I'll refer you to the top neurologist and rheumatologist in the city." She patted my knee. "We'll make sure this disease doesn't take over every aspect of your life." She smiled as she stood up from the seat next to me. "I'll be back with that information for you."

She then left the three of us in the room by ourselves.

"Did she just tell you private medical information without my consent?" Was all I could ask; it was all I could focus on in this moment.

I turned to Rey, tears filling her eyes. "Who cares!" She shot up. "You have some weird ass random disease and you're worried about her telling us one tiny thing that she probably shouldn't have!" Her arms flung out at her sides and she yelled.

I stood up, fury clouding my senses. "That's violating my fucking rights!"

"And you disappeared in the middle of the night! To do what?"

"To clear my head!" We were mere inches from each other.

"Explain to me why it was Kylo who found you! Huh? Can't explain that one can you?"
