Chapter two: A day filled with regrets
Delia was sitting in the backseat of Ninas car, trying not to give in to her desire to fall asleep. Sam was playing and screaming and getting al the attention from Nina, so Nina barely even noticed Delia being very silent today.
"Cut it out, Sam" Nina said trying to pay attention to her driving
"but Mom..." Sam started
"Don't give me the "but-thing" today, Sam", "I'm really not in the mood for that right now" Nina yelled.
While Nina and Sam continued their argueing Delia tried to focus on her breathing.
"I'm feelin' fine there's nothing wrong with me" she whispered to herself softly.
She could feel her eyelids closing up as she tried to fight against her will to give in, at
that moment Nina noticed Delia's strange behaviour...
"What's the matter, honey?" Nina asked while giving Delia a concerned look.
Delia felt she couldn't keep it to herself anymore, she felt afwul
"I'm not feeling great, Nina" Delia whispered "I'm just so tired, and I have at terrible headache".
Nina turned her head around to watch Delia, and she didn't liked what she saw, Delia was looking pale and was fighting not to fall asleep.
"I think I better bring you over tot your Dad's office so he can check you out" Nina said
"No" Delia said "I don't want him to worry about me, it's probably just a virus, I want to go to school". "I'm feeling better already" she lied.
She didn't want her father to worry about her, he had enough on his mind now with the Colin situation.
"Are you sure?" Nina asked with a face of disbelieve
"Yes, I'm very sure" Delia said, trying to smile
"Ok, well you can call me anytime if you change your mind..." Nina said not convinced by Delia's answer to her question.
Delia tried to look happy: "Thanks, but it won't be necessary" she said
Nina didn't believe a word Delia was saying but decided to let it go for this time, she was already running late for work so she was in a hurry.
"Ok bye then, and Sam: behave for once ok?" Nina said with a grin.
"I will Mom, bye" Sam replied
"Bye" Delia said

later that afternoon:
Dr. Brown was working on one of his last patients while his thoughts went to the past morning. Delia had been acting weird and had looked like hell, but he was in such a hurry this morning to get to work that he hadn't got a chance to really ask what's been bothering her.
"Maybe I'll go home early to day just to be sure" he thought to himself.
That's when Nina entered his practice...
"Hey Nina" Andy said smiling "What are you doing here?"
"I'm on my brake so..." Nina hesatated "Look I want to talk to you about something"
Andy lifted his eyebrow "Ok, well give it a shot then"
"Did you noticed anything weird about Delia today?" Nina asked
"As a matter of fact I did" Andy responded "She was vey silent and looked rather pale today" "Did she say anything about it to you, because to me she was pretending that everything was fine" Andy told Nina.
"She did say she had a headache and that she was feeling tired, but when I asked her if I should bring her to your office she started to say everything was ok" Nina said
Nina continued: "I think she didn't wanted you to worry about her"
Andy looked concerned : "Well, I think I'm going over to school to pick her up, it's probably nothing but I just have a bad feeling about the whole situation".
Nina nodded in agreement "I'm going back to work then, my brake is almost over, let me know how she's doing ok?"
"I will" Andy said.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Delia wasn't feeling right,her head wa spounding and the whole classroom was spinning in front of her eyes.
"Miss Violet" Delia aked with a soft voice "Can I go to the bathroom?"
"Yes you may" Miss Violet answered while watching Delia getting out of her chair and walking towards the door into the hall.
Delia walked to the bathroom as fast as she could, trying to stay on her feet...
"I wish you were here, Mom" Delia whispered to herself "I miss you so much" she said as a tear came rolling over her cheek.
Delia stood there for a couple of minutes, watching herself in the mirror.
"Maybe it will help if I splash some water into my face" she thought.
While leaning forward a wave of dizzyness surprised her, making her unable to stand on her feet any longer. When she hit the ground she barely even felt it, al she wanted was her father to come and pick her up and take her home, to get her headache away and to make her feel less dizzy. She tried to stay awake but she didn't know how much longer she could hold on...
"Please Dad, please come and get me" she cried
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Andy had taken his car and was driving towards Delia's school, al he wanted at the moment was to comfort himself, to take away his worry. He parked his car in front of the school and enterted the school in search of Delia's classroom. When he finally found it, he went straight to Miss Violet.
"Where's Delia?" He asked her with worry written on his face.
"Now that you mention it, she went to the bathroom about five minutes ago, and I haven't seen her since then, is there something wrong??" Miss Violet asked seeing Andy's distressed look.
"I don't know" Andy said "I'm going to check it out now"
Andy runned towards the bathroom and quickly opened the door. There he saw Delia lying on the floor, looking even paler then she had done in the morning. Andy rushed to her side:
"Delia honey, can you here me?" Andy asked with fear growing inside
"Daddy??" Delia asked weakly
"It's ok honey, you're going to be just fine" He tried to reassure her
Miss Violet walked in to the room and looked terrified at the sight..
"Please call an ambulance" Andy said on a soft tone trying not to scare Delia
"Dad, my head is killing me, it hurts so bad" Delia cried out
"Well we're going to do something about the soon, okay baby?" Andy said softly
Andy took her pulse and found it a bit fast but at least I was still there, "Why haven't I noticed this before?" He asked himself in frustration
"I should have seen this comming, I could have prevented this" Andy whispered
"The ambulance is on it's way Dr. Brown" Miss Violet called out.
"Ok" Andy answered, immediately turning to Delia : "Just hold on for a little while more,will fix you up in no time" Andy said, trying to confince hiself.
So that's it for chapter two, i hope you enjoyed it and please read en review!! More coming soon :D
