RECENTLY ON WAKE UP CALL
"That's good to hear. Well, I guess I better go check on Mercy. Thanks for breakfast Edward. It was nice to meet you Carlisle, I mean Dr. Cullen." I got up and left.
I hope you enjoy this. Sorry I haven't updated in a while. I've been busy.
I don't own Twilight. I wish (I sigh)
I walked back to Mercy's room so I could leave him and his dad to chitchat. I hope his dad isn't angry with him. Or me actually. I went into her room and I saw her reading a book. I sighed.
"Didn't you get any rest?" I asked
"No. I was hoping my matchmaking worked out well. You guys would look so cute together. I mean he's hot, gorgeous, cryptic, looks like a badass. He seems to have a soft side and that smile. OH MY GOD!" she set her book down for a minute.
I laughed. "I agree. He's really nice though he's a real badass. He even warned me himself to stay away from him because 'it wouldn't be good for me'. I thought it was funny, and cute. But we're just friends. Nothing more and I don't expect it to happen because he doesn't open up about a lot of things.
"Now get some rest. You need it."
"But, my book is just getting…" she trailed off as she hissed.
"What is it?"
"Bella, I have a bad headache. It really hurts," she said as I saw her eyes water up.
"Mercy. You'll be fine just breath with me. I know it hurts but you can't let it over take you. Come on you can do it." I tried to sooth her but it was too late. It was a really bad headache.
"Bella… I can't. It HURTS!" She cried.
I stroked her head. I ran out the door and looked at the lady at the desk.
"Help! Please! She has gotten a really bad headache. She going to make it worse. Please I need a nurse," I cried.
"Right way dear," the lady came in and looked at Mercy. She looked sad. She came over and put some stuff in her drip that was attached to her by an IV.
Mercy's crying went down as she went to sleep. I went and sat outside of the room and put my face in my hands. I wish she never gotten the headache. She doesn't deserve this torture. She's only thirteen and is going to lose her hair to something that shouldn't even exists. For God sakes she calls herself Mercy!
I was shaking my head and I heard someone walking up to me. I saw their shoes and I knew it was Edward.
"What's wrong?" He asked me.
"She had a headache and it was a bad one. They had to knock her out. I told her she should have gotten her rest. She shouldn't have to go through this pain. It isn't right." I wiped some tears away from my eyes that still were coming.
"Its okay. It'll past. Trust me I know." He said to try and reassure me. What he didn't know is that I already knew that. After being a leukemia patient I know everything about it. That's why I want to be a doctor when I'm old. That is if I survive to live that long. I could get leukemia again. Anytime.
"I know it will, I know it will." I said more to myself to calm me.
"Don't answer if it offends you but how do you know so much about leukemia?" He asked. Aw, he kind of cares.
I sniffed and smiled a small smile at him. "I've had leukemia."
He seemed to be shocked and his face looked pained as if everything stopped. He opened his mouth to speak.
"W, w, what?" he stuttered.
"Do you want to go for a walk? I'll tell you then, plus you're helping a patient so it counts toward your community service." He nodded and followed me outside.
We walked out of the hospital and pretty much walked the perimeter. I told him about my leukemia, my mother and Phil. I also told him about Emmett and he already knew about Charlie. I also told him about my two best friends in Pheniox who had actually stuck with me through my whole cancer thing. I really miss them.
"Why did you decide to tell me? I mean, we're like strangers and I don't think you would like to hang out with me on a regular basis." He smiled at me, liking his little tease.
"I don't care what people think of me, and so I have no reputation to ruin. I chose to tell you because right now you're my only 'friend'. You maybe my only friend if I hang out with you as you said. Plus, most people are too judgmental." I stated.
He looked a little shocked about my response.
