Hospital
Macy's POV
When I woke up I was sitting in a hospital room. The same hospital room I had been in just a few days ago. The same hospital room where I had first found out I had leukemia. I was confused. The last thing I remember I was in math class working on my assignment and stealing a glances at Nick.
Whoa lets forget I said that...
I looked around to see if anybody was there. No one.
This has got to be the loneliest feeling, I thought, waking up in hospital room all alone.
"Hello Miss Macy, you feeling better?" Doctor Jones asked, as he read through the clip board in his hand.
"Not great, but better." I said rubbing a sore spot on the back of my head.
Where did that come from? I wondered.
"Well you did give your class mate quite a scare but as far as I can tell you seem alright. Nothing serious."
Yeah nothing serious, I thought bitterly, except for the fact that I have leukemia...
"What...what exactly happened? I mean, the last thing I remember was sitting in class and..."
"You passed out. Don't worry though, its just a normal side effect of the pain killers we gave you. Nothing to worry about." he assured me.
"So...thats it?" I asked.
"Well not entirely..." he said.
I instantly filled with dread. What more could happen? What more could go wrong?
"I ran into a friend of yours. A Mr. Nick Lucas."
"Nick? Nick was here? Why didn't you send him in?" I asked, suddenly very annoyed with Dr. Jones.
"Well I would have if he hadn't run off so quickly."
"He ran off? Why would he... oh no, you didn't tell him about the-"
"The cancer? Yes I did, and by the way you talk about this boy I am surprised that you didn't."
"Oh man, where is my stuff? I need to call him!" I said, freaking out a little.
Dr. Jones grabbed it off the chair next to the bed, handed it to me, and walked out the door.
I flipped open my phone.
1 New Text From Mom
Wish I was there :( I'll be there to pick you up at 6 :)
I laughed at mom and her smiley faces, and then quickly dialed Nick's number.
Riiiiinnnnngggg, Riiiiinnnnngggg, Riiiiinnnnngggg, Riiiiinnnnngggg,
Hey this is Nick, sorry I missed your call, leave a message and I'll get back to you.
BEEP:
"Uh hey Nick this is Macy. Look I'm really sorry about what happened today and I really want to talk to you so if you would call me back that would be great! Bye."
Oh well, he is probably just back at school. I thought I'll just wait and see if he calls back after school.
After School
Macy's POV
I looked at the clock
4:47
School got out more than two hours ago! Why hadn't he called? I mean, didn't he want an explanation?
Thats it! I'm going over there tonight!
Nick's POV
"No, no, no, no!" I said to myself
I had been sitting in my bed strumming my guitar for almost two hours trying to write a song and nothing! Nothing I played sounded right.
Bzzzz
My phone buzzed in my pocket. It had been doing that for the past 3 hours letting me know there was still an unheard voice mail from none other than Macy Misa. When I first saw who it was it took all I had not to throw it at the wall. After that had passed I almost read it but when it started calling my inbox I chickened out and ended the call, and turned off my phone, for good measure. But not even ten minutes later I had it back out, just staring at her name, contemplating whether I should listen to it or not. Finally I decided that if I listened to it, I might just go weak in the knees and forgive her, and I wasn't ready to forgive her just yet. So I just slid my phone in my pocket and and picked up my guitar, thinking it would help. It didn't. Which brings us back to me sitting on my bed, considering throwing my guitar at the wall.
"You ditched school to come home and write a song? Brother, mom and dad are going to kill you!"
I jumped at Joe's voice.
"Not if they don't find out!" I glared back at him.
"Oh but they always find out, don't they little brother." said Kevin, walking up behind Joe, resting his arm on Joe's shoulder.
"You're not going to tell them, are you? Come on! You guys ditch all the time!" I point out.
"Yeah but not a whole day! And not just to write a song!" Joe claimed.
"I didn't skip the whole day. I went to first period. And I didn't skip to write a song I-" I stopped myself Did I really want them to know why I skipped school?
"What did you ditch for then?" asked Kevin, with a smug look on his face.
"Well I...I just wasn't feeling well this morning, so I decided to come home and nap it off. I guess it worked cause I'm feeling great!" I said with a fake smile plastered to my face.
Joe turned to Kevin,"That will be twenty bucks please." he said holding his hand out. Kevin reached into his pocket and pulled out a $20 dollar bill and placed it in Joe's hand.
"Thanks a lot Nick! You lost me 20 bucks!" said a now angry Kevin.
"You guys had a bet on what I ditched for? What did you think I ditched for.
Joe smiled,"Well, I Kevin here bet me that you would go to the hospital to see Macy. But I bet that you would just come straight home after the days events and write her a sappy love song."
"Wha-what? Why would I go see Macy, or write her a love song?" I asked.
"Look Nick we all know you like her. And is there really any question to whether or not she like yous? You are Nick of JONAS." Joe chuckled.
I cringed at the mention of former title from Macy, Nick of JONAS. It wasn't until now that I had realized what a great friend Macy had become. We had movie nights, and went to the mall, and I would always be at her games, and she would always be front and center at every one of my concerts. To some people it might even seem like we were dating.
I wish...I thought.
"No, she doesn't like me. Not even close."
My words were venomous, as I thought back to the hospital today, and her not caring enough to tell me what was wrong herself.
Knock knock
"I'll go get it..." said Kevin awkwardly after my little outburst.
I could hear Kevin downstairs.
"Oh hey Macy," he said, the smugness returning to his voice, "what are you doing here?"
"Well I came by to see Nick. I just wanted to talk to him about what happened in math today." she told him.
"Well let me go get him."
A second later Kevin was upstairs and pushing me towards my toward my pole.
"Don't mess this up little brother." he whispered in my ear.
I slid down the pole only to see Macy looking pale and thin...and beautiful.
"Hey Nick." she said softly.
"Macy" I said curtly.
"Look Nick, I'm really sorry about what happened at the hospital today. I really didn't want you to find out like this but you just ran out so fast I didn't even have time to explain-"
She was cut off by Kevin's voice, that was coming form upstairs.
"Booyah brother! I think that mean you owe me 20 big ones!"
Macy looked at me questioningly.
"Long story," I said, "keep going."
"Well I didn't tell you because I didn't want you to worry, and I was scared." she said.
"Scared? Macy why were you scared?" I asked, confused.
"Scared that...that you wouldn't care." she said softly.
"That I wouldn't care? Macy, I care about you a lot. More than you know." I confessed.
"Yeah I guess it was stupid, but I was scared, and I really like you Nick." She said, looking down at her feet.
"Oh, you do?" was all I could say.
"Yeah, I do,"she told me.
We just stood there, not looking at each other.
"Well, I'm going to head home,so...see you later." she said, turning towards the door.
"Wait!" I called.
She turned around looking...hopeful?
"Um, are you going to be at school tomorrow?" I asked
I am so stupid! I thought to myself.
She looked disappointed.
"No, the doctor told me I should stay home until my bone marrow transplant next week." she told me.
"Oh...okay well, I guess I'll just see you later then?" I said.
"Yeah...later." She turned to leave again.
"Macy, wait!" I called again.
"Yes Nick?" she asked me , expectantly.
"I...I really like you too." I told her, avoiding making eye contact.
"Really? You're not just saying that cause you feel sorry for me?" she worried.
"Really. I think I always have, and I'm sorry that it took you getting sick for me to realize it." I said, finally looking her in the eye. She had the most beautiful brown eyes.
She leaned in, so I did too. And what did she do? She kissed me on the cheek! The cheek? Really?
"See you tomorrow Nick." She smiled at me and left.
I slid down the door, and sat on the ground, touching where she had kissed me with a goofy grin on my face, replaying that moment over and
bad ending i know but read and review anyways please!
