"Isabella, why'd you have me drive you? Is there something important going on?" George asked, as he drove down the street, his old time friend sitting next to him, "It is, I was wondering...You've been out of school for a while now" Isabella started, "Oh,
that, like I said, I was coming down with something, not a big deal, I'm back now" George said, "George, you were out for a week,
and don't think I haven't caught you, at least once, looking ill...Is everything really okay?" Isabella asks, looking at George who kept focused on the road.
"I'm fine, now may we change the subject?" George says, "No, tell me your symptoms, I think its only fair, after you made us worry" Isabella said, George sighed, "Yes mam..." He says, causing Isabella to smile a bit, "I've been feeling feverish,
and all around nauseous, dizzy, and weak. It isn't anything to be helped by worrying, and besides I have work to do" George said, "George! How can you be so calm, that isn't normal" Isabella said concerned, "Neither am I" George said with a cheeky grin,
"What could be more important then you George?" Isabella asked, "A lot of things...Such as my new wears, You'll be the first to hear what they're for" George said, "Please pull over" Isabella asked, George glances at her surprised, before pulling over.

"Is everything okay?" George asked, "May I drive George?" Isabella asked, George sighed, "If that's all, why didn't you just say so" George said chuckling a bit, before switching out with his friend, handing over his keys, while George laid back,
Isabella started the car back up, glancing at George. "You were telling me about some new clothes?" Isabella said, seeming to get George to brighten back up, "Yes, I'm making a suit, and a dress, for the up coming prom, whoever is crowned king and queen, will also have the chance to wear them, for that night, I've decided to name the pieces "Pure Fun", the white and pastel rainbow, are their biggest selling points, maybe I'll make more sets in the future" George says, "I see,
sounds delightful George, as always I'll be right beside you in this" Isabella says smiling, George nods his approval,
they ride in comfortable silence, George seeming to be falling asleep, as Isabella drove, but just as she was pulling into a drive way, from under his hat George spoke. "Isabel...Where are we going?" George asked, Isabella gulped a bit nervous,
"We're here" She says getting out of the car, George looks up seeing the place, then he frowns, "Before you say anything,
please just do this for me...I know you say its a cold, but I want to hear it from a professional, and possibly get you some medicine" Isabella says, George sighs and gets out of the car, Isabella gives him back his keys, and shifts nervously, to see his answer, he locks his car. "If it'll put you at ease" George said, Isabella smiles, and takes his silky strong hand in her soft warm one, walking into the clinic, George gives Isabella his Id, and she goes to speak to the receptionist, while he sits in the waiting room. "Hello" Isabella greets, "Hi" The receptionist says,
"Um, can we have a check up today? I know we should have called in, but we need one right away, my friend isn't feeling well, and we want to be sure what to give him for it" Isabella said, "I suppose we can squeeze you in, give me the information and we'll call you, when its your turn" The receptionist said, Isabella gave her the info, then went to take her seat by George.
"It'll be a little while" Isabella said, "Of course it will" George says, reading a fashion magazine, Isabella smiles at him, somewhat grateful for her friends calmness, she starts to read a magazine of her own, as the minutes tick away,
they share a bit of conversation, and show each other articles, till they are called.
" , you may be seen now" The receptionist calls, "Let's go" Isabella said, putting George's books away,
George gets up, walking over, he tilts his hat to the receptionist, with a wink, before going behind, where the doctor would see him. A man in glasses, and a doctor coat stands before them. "Yes , please take off your shirt, and sit on the desk" The man instructed, Isabella looked away blushing, as George took off his coat, vest, and undershirt, putting them away, before sitting down. "Yes, now please breath in and out, while I check you" The doctor said, George nods, and does as he's told, they continue with the test, the doctor looking in his ears, throat and eyes, he measures his height and weight, he takes a blood sample as well, then sends him on his way,
George puts on his clothes and sits back with Isabella.

"How do you feel?" Isabella asked, "Tired, I'll probably go to bed after this" George said with a yawn, "You deserve the rest" Isabella said, George gets another magazine, his tired eyes grazing over the pages, "Are you hungry?
I could look for a snack machine" Isabella suggested, "I'm alright, if I don't go to sleep right away, I'll eat a little something" George says politely, Isabella nods, before getting out her phone, texting Miwako.
"Miwako? Me and George are at the clinic for a check up, just wanted you and Arashi to know" Isabella texts,
she quickly gets a text back, "Are you both okayyyyyy? :O" Miwako texted back, Isabella smiles at her concern, "We're fine. George is tired though, we've gotten done with his test a while ago, and are waiting for results, sure its only a cold though..." Isabella texted, biting her lip slightly,
"Tell George, we should all totally go out to dinner, after ya'll get back~Arashi" Miwako's phone text, Isabella chuckles a bit, "Will do, but I'm sure, he'll want to do it tomorrow, he's really tired from the test" Isabella text, "Can George text something real quick, maybe we can buy some fabric for the designs he was talking about :P" Miwako text, "I'll see if he will..." Isabella text, she looks at her friend, who has put up his magazine, and is looking out the window, "George?" Isabella said, "Mm?" George responds, "Miwako and Arashi want to know, if theirs any fabric they should pick up, for the clothes we'll make" Isabella said, "Ah, tell them, get some white silk, lace, and pastle dye, any color they can find" George said, "Okay" Isabella said, she starts to text them back, "White silk and white lace, pastle dye of any color" Isabella texted, "Dying fabric, this must be big,
what'd we get ourselves into..." Arashi texted, "We'll try to find it! :D" Miwako text, "Goo-
have to go, text you later" Isabella text, hearing the receptionist call for her.

Isabella gets up, and is about to get George, but the receptionist shakes her head, suggesting she leave him sitting, Isabella confused goes over alone. "Yes?" Isabella questions, "Are you a friend or family member, of ?" She asks sternly, "Um...A close friend- Is everything okay?" Isabella asked, "Do you have his parents phone numbers?" She asked, "I d-do" Isabella said, quickly and quietly giving it over she glances at George, while the receptionist writes these numbers down, "I'm not allowed to tell you anything else, until his parents authorize it, sorry, you'll have to stay here,
before we can move , to a real hospital" The receptionist explains, "What?" Isabella said, feeling her hands get cold, "Why in the world, does he need to go to a hospital, isn't it a cold?"
Isabella asked, trying to stay calm, "There isn't anything else I can tell you, I have to call the patients parents" the receptionist says, before going in the back, Isabella nervously sits back down with George, who stared at her questioningly, while she tries not to look at him, as worry floods her mind.
"Isabel? Izzy? Are you going to make me beg, to know which cold medicine to take?" George jokes, but Isabella doesn't even smile, so George looks at her a bit concerned, "Is something the matter?" George asked.
*Until his parents come, I'll have to remain calm, even though I don't know whats happening, I must keep my cool* Isabella thinks, remaining poised, she looks at him, calmly.

"They aren't sure of the results yet, but they'll tell us soon, so relax" Isabella said, "Is that all?
How much longer will we be here then?" George asked yawning once more, "I'm unsure" Isabella said,
George shrugs, and soon starts falling asleep, with his hat over his eyes, while Isabella's nerves are rattling, she wants to hug her friend, but a sudden hug, would probably cause some questioning,
so she sat, watching the door waiting for George's parents. A hour later, and Isabella is almost sure George is asleep, when his parents come in Yukino and Joichi. Isabella stands up, going to greet them only to notice they are fussing with one another. "So you can come here for your son in a hurry,
but you can't bother to visit me?" Yukino complains to George's father, "A hurry? I was on a break anyways,
and if you calm down kitten, I'll go back to visit you too" Joichi said smoothly, "As if!" Yukino pouts,
"Excuse me" Isabella finally interrupts, "Hmmm? What is my beautiful lady?" Joichi askes, kissing Isabella's hand, which Yukino is fuming at, Isabella takes her hand back, "Please talk with the receptionist and doctor"
Isabella says, "Oh that's right, something about George?...What'd he do?" Yukino asked, "I haven't the slightest clue what happened, but the information will be revealed, if you'll talk with the professionals" Isabella said trying to keep polite, "Fine fine, but you better take me to dinner after this" Yuikino complains to Joichi,
"Yes yes, anything you want kitten" Joichi said, waltzing up to the receptionist, who quickly takes them to the back, making Isabella even more nervous, she goes to George's side, and sits sighing.

"Izzy, were those my parents I heard?" George asked, his voice sleepy, *He woke up* Isabella thought surprised,
"It was" Isabella said, "Mmm? What are they here for, its strange for them to be together, in a public place" George says lazily, "Don't worry about it" Isabella said, "Who's worried? I just wanted to know if I was dreaming their voices, or not" George said yawning once more, while Isabella sat on pins and needle's,
staring at the door, George's parents had left behind. *Please, everything be okay...* Isabella hoped.

"You're his parents?" A nurse asked in the other room, "We are, now what reason do you have for bringing us here?" Yukino asked, "You're son, he's very sick" The nurse said, bracing herself for the questions,
and tears, but both of his parents remained the same, "Didn't you hear me?!" The Nurse asked surprised,
"We did, but what does him being sick have to do with us?" Joichi asked, "What do you mean? You're his parents, aren't you concerned?!" She asked angrily, "Whoa, calm down...We don't even know what's wrong"
Yukino said, "Judging by how you two are...I suppose there was no helping it, there is a disease living in your son, its been there since birth, genetics, from you two playing around so much with other people, before and probably while carrying him, if you had've taken him to hospital when he was a baby, after you noticed symtems, it could have been treated easily,
but you waited this many years, at this point the disease is too severe to even attempt to treat in one day,
he'll be admitted into a hospital right away, and stay there, if he want's a chance of survival" The Nurse explained her tone more serious then angry at this point, "So you weren't taking care of my son hmm?" Joichi said,
"Huh?! You weren't there while he was growing up at all! Don't blame me!" Yukino said angry, "You didn't notice his symptoms, I could have sent money to treat him, if you had" Joichi said smugly, "You're his father!
You didn't notice either!" Yukino said, Joichi just shrugged getting up, the Nurse stared at them with their petty fights, anger boiling in her, "Don't you hear yourselves?! I just told you your son's on the brink of death, and you're fighting like children!" The Nurse said, both stopped looking at her, soaking in what she said, suddenly Yukino began to cry.
Joichi quickly held her, "Its going to be alright, we've got all the money for treatment" Joichi soothed her, "Bu-But, I gave up my life for him...He can't die this fast, he just can't!" Yukino said burying her teary face into Joichi's coat, while he rubbed her back, and she shuddered, "I've already called doctors from the big hospital, they should be taking your son there right about now, you're welcome to ride with him,
or bring some of his belongings to the hospital for him" The Nurse said gently, "Got it" Joichi said,
while Yukino continued to cling to him, they walked out, to see the blaring lights of a ambulance truck hearing the sirens blaring, while the people came in, some keeping the doors open, while others went to the waiting room, to seek out George. Seeing that Yukino couldn't help but continue sobbing on Joichi, "Lets go dear, I'll clean you up,
and we'll go to see George, when you're more stable" Joichi said calmly, Yukino just nodded,'and left with him, both driving away, while the paramedics were still inside the clinic.

"Excuse me, George Koizumi?" A Paramedic said looking at the neatly dressed young man, George looked at him surprised, he and Isabella saw them coming through the window, and thought they were for someone else, now that they were here, Isabella was on the brink of tears, and George was thoroughly confused.
"I'm George" George said getting up, "Come with us right away" The Paramedics said leading him away,
while he tried to question what was going on, grabbing her purse, Isabella quickly followed,
while George looked behind himself at her, a look of something close to fear in his eyes, which Isabella picked up on quickly, she gave him a comforting smile, and quickly got in the back of the ambulance truck, while the Paramedics hands were all over George, laying him down on the bed back there, while he still tried to question, but wasn't getting much of a answer besides relax,
they took the mask off his face replacing it with a anesthesia mask, after they were finished they went to the front of the truck, urging the driver to hurry, leaving Isabella and George alone.

"Izzy? What's going on?" George asked his voice muffled, Isabella tried to keep herself together,
seeing him laying there like that, she swallowed preparing her voice, "George, I promise you everything will be okay...Once we get to the hospital, I'll find out everything, and I'll let you know" Isabella said her voice still holding a bit of fear and concern, she grabbed George's hand in hers giving it gentle squeeze, George barely held her hand, as the anesthesia took affect,
and he started to drift asleep, leaving Isabella alone, to wreck her brain with fear and concern,
tears escaped her eyes, while she kept her gaze on George, holding his hand while he slept,
the world going by fast, as they road quickly to the hospital. Isabella knew she'd have to tell Miwako and Arashi what was going on, but for now, she wanted to be sure what they were doing to her best friend, and where they were going to take him. *I promise I won't leave* Isabella thought staring at George through glossy eyes.
