Chapter 5:
After enduring long hours of testing, Sydney had returned to her room and was about to go take a shower, when there was a knock on the door.
She got up and opened it. It was Will.
"Hi, Syd. Can I come in?"
"Sure." she told him.
He came in and sat on the small sofa that was in the room. Sydney sat down next to him.
"So, how are you?" She asked, trying to break the silence.
"Ok, I guess. And you?"
"Ok, just really worried."
"About what?"
"Everything. Mainly Vaughn."
"If it makes you feel any better, he's the one that told me to come down here and talk with you. It's the surgery and the chances. Isn't it?"
"Yeah, and the other thing." She said playing with the heavy platinum diamond ring on her hand.
"I'm just afraid of the chance that this won't be put on my ring finger along with a matching band that me and him will wear forever."
Will was silent. After a few minutes, he said, "Don't worry, Syd. Vaughn's tough, and, the surgeons are the best in LA."
Sydney smiled a bit.
"I'm fine, in case you're worried." He said.
"Do you know where my dad and Weiss are?"
"They're going to be stopping by at 7."
"I don't mean to be rude, but, I'd really like to shower before they get here." She told Will.
"Ok, I guess I'd better leave then." He replied.
He left and Sydney found a suitcase in her closet, found a pair of jeans, button-down shirt, and her favorite comfy shoes. She went into the bathroom and started to undress.
She stared at her reflection. She hardly recognized the girl looking back at her. There were dark circles under her eyes and bruises on her body. Worst of all, her flawless skin had a horrible scar on her lower right abdomen. Suddenly, she felt like she was going to throw up. She ran to the toilet, and made it just in time.
She thought, "I really must be under a lot of stress," She decided that she'd better take a quick shower and hurry to get ready before she threw up again.
"Strange," she thought as she once again looked at her reflection in the mirror. She could have sworn her stomach looked smaller than the last time, about 3 days ago. "Could it be that..?" She thought out loud. "Nah, that's impossible." She said.
