Chapter 4
The next day, I went to work dressed in scrubs with my hair pulled back tight. I walked into Lexi's room. Tom was sitting beside her bed, holding his fiancées hand, staring at the wall tightly. Lexi looked pale as a sheet as she slept.
"Hi Tom," I said.
"Hey Bella," he said.
"How's she doing?" I asked.
"Rough," he said, "She's in a lot more pain than usual."
"Tom, you know that it's getting closer to the end, right?" I asked him gently, checking her vitals.
He nodded, face pained. "Bella, what do I do?" he asked, sounding about ready to cry. "We're so young. We were supposed to get married and live happily together for the rest of our lives. What do I do?"
"She's not gone yet honey," I said, walking behind him and placing a hand on his back.
"There's only a matter of time," Tom said sadly.
I nodded. "The cancer is very advanced now."
"I know," he said.
"Hey," Lexi said groggily, "You better not be stealing my man Bella!"
I laughed. "No Lexi baby," I said, "He's all yours."
Tom took her hand in his and squeezed it, wiping away his tears. "How do you feel love?" he asked.
"Terrible," she said, "The morphine should have kicked in by now right?"
"It will any moment now," I said, brushing my hair back from my face.
"Bella?" Lexi asked.
"Yes?" I asked.
"You aren't wearing Edward's ring anymore," she said, "You used to. Things aren't better?"
"There's been a lot of problems recently," I said softly.
"Tell us?" Lexi asked, patting her bed.
I gently perched myself beside her on the bed. "What do you want to know?" I asked.
"What happened?" she asked.
"I was pregnant," I said, "And then one of my patients died. A little girl. I was very upset about it and I didn't take good care of myself and I had a miscarriage," I hesitated, "He wasn't angry with me, but I knew he was upset. And he blamed himself somehow, but I still felt a bit of resentment towards me. Things just fell apart. I moved out a little while ago."
"Bella!" Lexi groaned.
"Are you okay?" I asked her.
"I'm fine," she giggled, "You're an idiot."
"I know," I said.
"Can you do something for me?" she asked me.
'Of course. What's up?" I asked.
"I'm gonna die soon," she said, "And I know it. Everyone does. But for me, can you please try to fix things with him? He loves you and I know you love him too and nothing good will come from being apart," she said.
I hesitated. "I don't know Lex," I said.
"Please Bella? For Tom and I?" she asked, "We never got married."
"We'll never get to five years like you have," Tom said.
"So please," Lexi pleaded, "Fix things with Edward for us?"
"I'll try," I said, "Things might be too messed up though."
We were silent.
"Can we get married now?" Tom asked, interrupting the silence.
"What?" I asked.
"Lexi and I," he said, "Can we get married now? Get a priest to come up here and marry us. I want her as my wife before she leaves me."
I looked at the girl. He frail face was split into a huge smile. "I love you Tom," she said.
"I'll see what I can do," I promised, getting up, "Hang in there."
