She stared at the scan holding it in her hands. Wishing that it would just go away. But it wasn't and there was only so much she could do to deny it. She had to get this problem sorted out and soon. It all started a few days ago when she started getting mysterious abdomen pains. Thinking nothing of it.

She took a few painkillers wishing that it would go away. But it never. And now here she was staring at a scan she'd performed on herself after suffering those pains again. She had been to see Zoe to get a second opinion. Lying that the scan belonged to a patient. She was sure Zoe saw right through her cover story but never said anything.

She quickly placed the scan into her pocket when she saw her boyfriend approaching her. She didn't want to bother him with this. This was her problem. And she was going to deal with it herself.

He looked at her with concern written all over his face. She didn't dare to tell him that she was having those pains again. After insisting to him it was just period pains. She'd done a secret urine test and when that came back clear. That's when she knew it was something serious.

None the less she approached her boyfriend with a smile. She didn't want him to think something was wrong. So she pushed her problem to the back of her mind. She was going to deal with that later.

"Is everything okay?" Tom asked with a concern look on his face.

"Why wouldn't it be?" she answered in the most normal voice possible.

"Good to hear no more of them mystery pains?" he asked

"I already told you Tom. They were just period cramps" she lied pure and simple.

As if nothing was wrong. But he didn't seem to notice any change of tone in her voice. Suddenly the scan she did earlier. Felt like ten pounds in her pocket.
