Fix Your Heart

25

Lumi's P.O.V.

"Which room am I supposed to come to?"

I asked him while my heart broke further at every sob coming from my boyfriend.

I still had no clue what had happened but it had to be the worst to get Nate to cry.

"342" His creaky voice replied and I fastened my steps.

That was Mariella's room.

"I'm almost there rakas, please tell me what happened."

Then I saw him sitting there, in front of her room, his head against the wall, eyes closed with dried tears on his cheeks and his phone on his right ear.

I walked faster and halted in front of him.

"Hey Nate." I kissed his cheek and crawled onto his lap while he cried into my shoulder.

His hands hugged me so tightly that it hurt but I didn't say anything. Not today.

Ever so softly I began cradling us both so he could calm down a little.

It took five minutes for him to be able to talk again.

"I can't pay for her operation. So she will die." His heartbroken eyes looked into mine.

"It's my fault." He whispered and mine widened.

"No. It isn't." I put my hand onto the back of his head and stroked over his hair.

"How much is it?"

"They want $250,000. I...I can't. I can't get a loan for it."

I took a sharp breath. Who do they think they were charging that much for an operation?!

Now I wished the US had the Finnish health care system.

What crap.

"I'm going to talk to them and see what we can do, babe. Go to your sister, she needs you."

He just nodded, too exhausted to even register anything around him anymore and went into her room while I made my way downstairs to get the papers for the operation.
