Chapter 9 Scare

AN: So here it is people chapter nine. I looked at my story traffic and let me tell you it was up to 278! Wow! I never thought I was a good writer. Anyway on with the story

Scare-A minor fright; a cause of slight terror; something that inspires fear or dread; to frighten, terrify, especially in a minor way

Dr. Cullen came back and did the test. You could tell he was rushing to get out of this tension filled room. Before he walked out the door he gave me a sympathetic smile.

I took a deep breath and looked over at my father. His face was slowly turning to a bright red and the set of his mouth showed his distaste. I sighed and said, "This is my friend, dad. His name is Paul. He's one of the guys that helped out with our move."

"Well, now, I don't care who the hell he is. What is he doing here, Alexis?" He shouts. I flinch. My dad never calls me Alexis unless he's disappointed in me.

Paul saves me and says, "I heard Ally was in the hospital, so I came here to see if she was okay, sir. I'll leave if you want me to, but please, sir, don't take it out on her." He said desperately. I smile at his nickname for me. I give his arm a gentle squeeze and look over at my father.

He looks like he's having an epileptic fit or something, "Well… You…Her…," he struggles to stay calm. He takes a deep breath and looks at me. I give him my best sad face, and he says, "Alright. You can stay, as long as you don't touch my daughter." He adds on the last part.

I scowl, But Paul takes his hands away from my face and I reach out to grab a hand but Paul stops me and says to my father, "Yes, of course, sir. I won't touch her." He walks over to the last available seat and sits then looks over at me. He gives a small smile at the expression on my face then relaxes.

….

It was a couple hours later when my mom suggested that they go and get some food from the cafeteria. My dad was still scowling over at Paul, so he didn't hear her. She asked again and he looked at her defeated and nodded slowly. Before he stepped out into the hall my dad threw a glare at Paul and then left with my mother in tow. My mother gave me one last mischievous smile before going along with him. I looked over at Paul who was looking at me. He got up and walked over to my bed and felt my forehead. "Are you alright? What happened to make them take you here?" He asked worry in his eyes.

I took my arm out from under the blanket and lifted it so he could see, "They saw this and freaked. I told them that it was nothing. But my dad being a father freaked and demanded that we get it checked just to make sure my leukemia didn't come back. And when my father sets his mind to something, you usually can't waver him." I say with absolutely no emotion in my voice.

"You should be glad he's that cautious of you. He could have caught it early enough for the doctors to stop it." He takes my hand and kisses the back of it, "I'm glad you're not hurting though."

I smile and say, "I'm glad you're here. I missed you." Wait; hold up, did I seriously just say that?

He smiles for ear to ear, "I missed you too." He leans down and gives me a peck on the lips, "I've missed you so much."

I groan in agreement, and then crush his lips to mine. I didn't care about being gentle anymore; I just wanted him to be closer. I moaned at the contact and he slid his tongue across my bottom lip, demanding for entrance. Of course I gave it to him. The kiss got more heated, our mouths battling for dominance. He won of course, but I didn't care one bit. Let me tell you this was my real first kiss. And I loved every second of it. All too soon he pulled his lips away, and brushed his lips across mine before pulled away. I stuck our my bottom lip in a pout and he laughed. I couldn't help it I smiled.

He stiffened and said, "Your dad's about to come in." He ripped his arms away from my face and ran to his chair. I situated myself and tried to look somewhat normal.

I looked over at Paul and started to ask, "How did yo-." But I got cut off by the door opening.

The first thing my dad did was look over at Paul, and then he looked at me and smiled a small smile, before sitting down in his previous seat. I let out my breath that I had been holding slowly so they wouldn't hear.

Paul stiffened again, and the door suddenly burst open. Dr. Cullen came in with a huge smile and he said, "I have so amazing news. You're 100% clean. No cancer cells were found. It's just a normal bruise. I will get a nurse in here as soon as possible so that you can fill out the last bit of information on your charts. And then you are free to go, Alexis." He says heading towards the door before stopping, "And congratulations." He adds, and then looks over at Paul sharing a meaningful look. Then walks out.

All I can think is: Wow, what a scare.
