Fix Your Heart

Nate's P.O.V.

As I sat in the car on my way to Lumi someone called me. It was the number of the hospital so I stopped the car and answered the phone.

"Hello, here's Nathaniel Coleman."

"Dear Mister Coleman, we are very sorry to tell you that Mariella Coleman might not make it through the night."

"What?!"

"She has an unknown new tumor near her brain. Without operating immediately she won't make it."

I gasped, the shock sitting deep.

Another operation, no chance of her getting back to health without it.

My thoughts were slow and the information reached my brain only after a while. I would most likely loose my little sister.

A sob escaped me.

"What...what's the cost of the operation?"

"$250,000 sir."

I tightly grabbed the steering wheel. The bank would not give me another loan, I knew that already.

"Please let me see her one last time."

"Of course, sir."

With tears in my eyes I made my way to the hospital, totally forgetting about my girlfriend waiting for me in the park.

As I had arrived I sprinted out off the car and ran up to the front door.

The doors of the hospital entrance slowly opened.

With fast paste I walked to the elevator and pressed the button.

Tears build up in my eyes as I reached her floor but I couldn't let Mariella see me cry. So I wiped them away and opened the door to her room.

"Nate." She whispered with a weak voice, cables all around her.

The sight ripped my heart into a thousand pieces.

"Hey monkey." I smiled and sat down.
