The smell of the waiting room was intoxicating like bleach and disinfectant, which smelled of sick people and it made him think of Nora, but he shook the thought out of his head.
'Mr. Fries, The doctor will see you now', said a middle-aged nurse in her 30's who looked plain-looking and her nurse uniform made her look fat but he wouldn't tell her that because he wasn't in the mood to make another human being upset to make himself happy, was he a terrible person for doing that? he thought.
Victor walked into his friend Sam's office, His office has various diplomas and pictures of his fishing catches which Victor is actually in some of the photos.
Sam was overweight by 30 pounds and always smelt of old tobacco, He wore an old suit from the 30's that his father owned.
'Victor, Please sit down',said Sam in a kindly way. Victor looked terrible, Unshaven with a 9 o'clock shadow and uncombed greasy hair he thought.
Victor sits in the uncomfortable leather chair and looks around at his friend's office which looked like a place to show off your accomplishments, What a show off he thought.
'How's your work Victor?',said Sam curiously.
'I'm not here to talk about me Sam, I'm here to talk about Nora and every precious second counts so let's get this over with',he said angry and irritated.
'Ok Victor, It's not good',said Sam in a doctor like calmness. He got used to delivering bad news on a daily basis but this was a close friend and it wasn't easy giving his friend the worst news possible.
'Oh?',Said Victor curiously. He grew nervous and his palms started to sweat and he felt sick to his stomach.
'Nora's dying',Said Sam solemnly.
'How long has she got?, Years?', Said Victor teary eyed.
sam shook his head slowly.
'Months?' Victor's palms started to sweat even worse and he tried to dry them on his suit pants but he got dirt on his hands from his dirty pants, Why didn't he take his suit to the dry cleaners when he could? he thought.
Sam shakes his head again.
'Weeks?', Said Victor angrily. Victor slams his hand on the table which makes Sam jump.
'Days..Maybe hours. Nora's disease has progressed so much it's hard to tell', Said Sam who has his hand in a fist trying to keep up a professional and calm demeanor. but he felt like crying.
'It's a uh, It's a mistake..G-Get me another doctor I want another opinion now!', Said Victor angrily.
Victor gets out of his chair and starts to walk up and down the office and starts to cry.
'How long have you known me Victor?', Said Sam. upset that his friend broke down into tears.
'N-Nine years' Said Victor who tried to make words come out of his mouth, He was crying too hard to say anything other than a few words.
'you know as well as I do that I'm the best at what I do, I'm sorry Victor but we both know she will die..I'm Sorry my friend I wish there was more I could do', Said Sam sincerely.
'I ah-I need to go, Thanks Sam..But i need to go', Victor gets up and opens the office door where he see's the nurse.
'Your very plain and ordinary and your clothes make you look fat', Said Victor sternly.
He felt terrible that he said it and that she cried in front of him and ran into the women's toilets made it worse, But he felt a little better after he made someone feel upset and emotional.
