"What happened?" Asked the paramedic picking her off the floor.
"I do not know, before they were just pains in her belly but I think it's something much stronger than that ..." Alex explained.
"Oh my God, it hurts a lot!" Said Addie squeezing Alex's hand.
"We'll take her to the hospital to get an x-ray." One of the nurses said as she posted her on the ambulance table.
"she was Bleeding?" asked another nurse, looking at the stains on the floor and the girl's leggings.
"Yes ... just when i noticed that I ran to tell Leon and Alex," confirmed the Russian girl.
"What does that mean?" Asked Leon, a little frightened of the situation.
"Well, that's normal in young girls ... but this way ... believe me it's not," said the Nurse.
"Here we go ..." said one of the nurses leaving Addie inside the ambulance.
Following that, Alex entered the ambulance next to her.
One of the nurses felt the dark blond-haired girl pull at her sleeve.
"Please, let us go too!" Mai looked at her, upset at what could happen to her friend.
"Your mother is ok whit that?" Asked the nurse seriously.
"My mother is still working, but I informed her that I will go with you ..." Mai lied
"Please miss, she's our friend." Leon looked worried "that girl is too important for my friend Alex"
The nurse sighed looking at both young men with tenderness and seriousness.
"ill alow it only for this time, quick get in ..." The nurse whispered.
Addie was still terrified and pained on that Ambulance stretcher, she felt very bad, the pain was a new torture she had never felt, accompanied by that bleeding between her legs.
"Addie, Calm ... everything's going to be okay." Alex pressed her hand tightly.
"Alex ... it hurts ..." She was still crying as she looked around the ambulance.
"We'll get there soon, calm down, I'll call your parents ..." Alex said as he still rubbed her hand, trying to calm her down.
"Young man, we're going to continue the anesthesia." The nurse said as she put on a Gas Mask.
Addie simply lay that gas on her face and very slowly closed her eyes.
"Addie, I hope you recover ... please be ok"
Alex was staring at his feet in that hospital room, he was so stressed and worried about the black Haired girl, who had been in there for 30 minutes.
He lost his sight on the floor while talking to Addie's parents with her own phone.
"All right, I hope!" Alex said and then end the call.
"What did they say?" asked Leon, seeing that he cut off the call.
"They say they're coming, but it's probably going to be a long time," Alex said, biting his nails desperately.
Leon could cover his concern,he was also worried about McCallister, but it tried to keep its despair inside.
"Hey, what was the name of the woman who said," Let's eat cakes? "The French revolution?" Mai asked with a crossword puzzle and pen in hand with a desperate concern on her face.
"Mai! This is not the time!" Alex told him desperately and somewhat annoyed with his Russian friend "Addie could be seriously hurt and youre playing with that damn crossword!."
"you dont think I know that ?!, you think I'm not scared !?" Mai replied Scared "I just want to try to keep calm! ... you're not the only one suffering here! ... my mom still thinks that we are in the house watching a movie!, I do not even want to imagine how it will be put when she finds out that I am not at home at this hour! ..."
Alex frowned at anger as he clenched his fists.
"Do you have any idea what Addie means to me?" He rose from his chair and looked at her. "If something happens to her ... if something happens to her...to My Addie ..." he fainted "I ... I ..."
"…Alex…" Mai sit in the chair "I understand perfectly ... but calm ... everything is going to be fine..."
"ok Mai" The dark boy hugged her friend and then his friend"oh,by the way..."
"yes?"
"Marie Antoinette: that's the answer..."
The Russian girl made a laugh and fixed her eyes on the crossword ...
From the room where they were watching Addie,a Nurse and the doctor came out
"Who were with Addie McCallister?" Asked the doctor.
"we did!" Alex raised his hand in despair.
"And ... where are Addie's parents?" The nurse asks.
"They're not here... they're stuck in traffic."
"Well ... who of you is "Alex"?" asked the Doctor.
"its me!" Alex rose quickly from his seat. "I am Alex ... why do you ask?"
"Addie wants to talk to you, so come and go ..." The Blond Nurse Said
Alex swallowed Saliva a bit nervously, he looked at Mai, the Russian nodded slowly with a worried smile
"Go For her ..." Leon said patting her on the shoulder.
Alex showed a Soft smile to his friend, perhaps to try to calm things down. But his eyes were worried. He Inhaled deeply and turned the door knob, entering the room. And there was Addie, lying on a stretcher, dressed in a white coat, her eyes closed, her head toward the wall. She seemed to be asleep. Alex approached without making the slightest noise in the room, his slow steps on the floor, they felted a bit dragged. Addie's hand hung on the stretcher. So Alex took her with his hands delicately, giving them a gentle caress with his thumbs. At this action, the girl frowned and gave a slight jump, indicating that she was asleep and the boy awaked her. she grimaced then opened her eyes slightly.
"Alex ..." She said silently. "What ... what happened?"
"you got another pain and this time it went to a new level ..." Alex explained. "But calm Down,im here Now" He gave her a quick kiss on the forehead.
The Black Haired girl looked around and analyzed everything, the machines that were tied to her and the place where she was ... As she was distracted, she felt another pain that made her hold her belly tightly
Alex was about to call the doctor, but she gave the boy's sweatshirt a gentle tug of attention
"its ok, nothing happens n-nothing ..
"Addie, what happened to you?"
"... no ... I do not know Alex ... for 3 months and I was like this, but I never hurt as much as tonight" She explained covering with the sheets "the truth did not go well to eat ... something is massacring my stomach causing it to vomit ..."
Alex was paying close attention to the hospitalized girl as he took her hand for moral support.
"Where are Mom and Dad?" She asked.
"They're in the traffic but they're coming." He explained
"Well ... at least you're here with me." She looked up and kissed his hand.
"Addie, why did not you tell me before?"
Addie sighed heavily as she sat down carefully. I take the sheet and squeeze it between her hands with sad eyes.
"I ... I did not want to worry you," she said, "but now I see that was wrong."
Alex looked at her tenderly as he caressed her cheek gently.
"You do not trust me?" he asked sadly.
Addie watched as her Boyfriend's gaze became increasingly sad. She did not know what to tell her.
"if you did not know ... I love you more than anyone ... and you should know ... you have complete freedom to tell me anything ... you will always have me by your side ... even in the worst moments"
Addie, seeing him kiss her pale hands, could not help crying over such an emotional scene.
"I love you Alex ..." said this took him from the cheeks and deposited a kiss on his forehead. "Forgive me for not telling you"
"Do not worry, but remember that I always will be there to listen to you, trust me Addie, I love you." He smiled with his cheeks flushed and a look full of pity for talking with feeling
Which to his girlfriend seemed tender to him those actions of Alex
"Ejem ..." -The doctor entered the room "Look young ... I do not want to interrupt ... but I have to speak seriously with you ... this is about Addie ..."
They both watched the doctor walk through the door.
Addie managed to see through the half open door, Leon and Mai were piled up to see her friend in the door. Mai greets quickly before the door closes, Addie smiled, she was glad that her best friend was here.
"Well ..." The doctor spoke again, looking at his wooden tablet. "And your parents?"
Alex was the one who answered.
"They are still stuck in traffic, they will not be late"
"well ... this cannot wait any longer ..." The doctor took a direct path to a black screen, in which he placed some black plastic pages, Alex and Addie quickly analyzed that they were tomographies.
"We do not have a diagnosis yet ... but we do see the problem ... and we also know that ..." He sighed sadly, this type of news in minors was a painful thing for doctors "its not good ..."
"What?" asked Addie, confused and worried.
"Doctor, I demand that you give me an explanation!" Alex felt impotent "What does Addie have in his belly?!"
"Here's the answer ..." The Doctor put his thumb on the light switch. "... I'm really sorry"
Showing the tomography illuminated by the light ... both left their eyes wide open. Concern on the part of Addie, Terror by Alex ...
All they saw were some horrible little white spots in the area that Addie was aching in her bell,They both knew it was that, the subject they were studying in this school semester.
"is..is that?..." added Addie with a lump in his throat and glassy eyes, Alex put his arm around his girlfriend's shoulders as he bit his lower lip and his gaze reflected concern "a..a..a tumor?
Alex put his gaze fixedly on the tomography, it was not just one. It was two, three, five, until they reached Six, six little white spots and piled up in their belly.
Alex had tears in his eyes already and desperately denied with his head.
Mai had her ear pressed to the door, trying to hear something, but the voices were heard very low and soft.
"What are they saying?" Leon said behind her, thirsting for answers.
"I do not know! I do not hear anything." The Russian girl whispered. "I hope it's not serious ..."
Oh Mai, you're more than mistaken.
"Yes ... these are Tumors." The doctor said with a very small Penalty in his voice which covered with seriousness. "It sounds believable or not, she has had them since she was born, but until now they have awakened ..."
"And why?" Alex shouted desperately as he listened as his beloved girl began to sob, he thought for a moment ...he already had an idea of why they had woken up so far "No ... please do not tell me that"
"Yes ... They are in their Terminal Phase ..." The doctor looked at Addie with some pity. "Forgive me ... but you do not have much time ... about three weeks of Life ..."
Addie swallowed, biting hard on her lower lip, cold tears streaming down her face, Alex was pale with a Face of Horror.
"But ... why? ... and how?" she managed between panting.
"Addie, Tumors in Newborns can be easy to locate if they are checked sometimes small bumps are found in the infected area. But sometimes they are very deep and hidden, not being visible to people ... and with the passage of their growth, they increase in size and the damage is stronger. "Explained the Doctor.
"But ... why could not he notice until these last months?!" Alex drowned in his tears.
"If it was notorious, but not in normal eye site" said the Doctor. "Addie, if I'm not mistaken, you have your first period, have you?"
"Yes ...not yet, but my mother said that was normal ..." explained Addie squeezing her boyfriend's hand.
"in this case it is not ... Tumors and where they are, different areas of your belly, affected your puberty and reproduction system, in short ovulation and menstruation ... in other words, you can't have children or have period ... well not in the most normal way, that explains the bleeding you had ..."
Addie looked down with shok.
"Was it so obvious?" asked the girl dryly.
"If I had to speculate, your first period would have come to your 12 years or so ..." said the doctor
Both Addie and Alex stared at each other, both weeping and reflecting Fear on their faces.
Alex wanted to say something, but there was a thread in his throat.
"A-Addie ..." that and barely managed to say.
"A-Alex ..." She pressed her hands tightly.
"Im Sorry McCallister" the doctor said "... but your mortality is ending soon."
Addie covered her mouth and began to cry, Alex only shook his head as he cried.
For Addie it was awful to hear ... and for Alex it was worse ...
Everything that doctor had said echoed in his brain, filling him with horror, thinking the worst thing that could happen to him in his life.
That Addie died and could not be with him again, after barely having earned her love, having her by his side and possibly having spent the best things and moments of his life next to her,she was destined to die, she would die and he I would remain alone, in that world where nobody would understand. That desire to end this year with her, everything would be in vain.
He looked at her again and took her hands.
"Forgive me ..." Addie whispered, "forgive me for not being strong enough ... forgive me for not telling you before!"
The doctor took out a new brochure of the diagnosis, but when he saw that he just put that aside and sighed sadly, he made his way to the door and went out, meeting the Russian Girl and the boy with the Blue Cap.
"What happened?" Mai asked, worried, she did not get an answer, as the Doctor had given it, leaving the door slightly open.
Mai and Leon simply stared out the open door.
Watching as Alex and Addie cried in each other's arms.
