Abby's Point of View
I waited for Neela to get off of her shift, sort of
impatiently. Those eight hours seemed so slow to
pass, and I felt like I was going crazy. I did
everything from doing my laundry, to showering about 4
times, and even dusted my place. And finally, it was
ten. And I was there in the emergency dock waiting,
feigning patience.
And I couldn't understand why I was so damned
impatient to see her. After all, we were study
buddies for months. But there was something about
tonight. Tonight was special.
Kerry once told me that when you're waiting for
someone you loved, time drags on, and it doesn't quite
seem like living. But I couldn't be in love with the
new med student, soon to be Doctor. Could I? The
situation played in my mind over and over until I felt
a light tap on my shoulder.
"Neela! Oh, shit. You scared me." I grabbed at my
chest for effect, moreso because I was nervous. "You
ready to go? We can go anywhere you like. I'm off tomorrow."
Neela's Point of View
"I'm off tomorrow too." I told her. The rest of the night we walked around the pier. It was pretty cool looking at all the lights and tasting all the food here in America. Abby was acting really weird though. I couldn't understand why she wasn't talking much.
"Abby, are you feeling alright?" I asked worried. She didn't answer but instead fainted. I caught her before she hit the ground but something was seriously wrong. This wasn't like Abby at all.
20 Minutes Later
"Abby! Abby wake up!" I said shaking her.
"Wha....What?!" She shot up in her hospital bed. "Where am I?!" She screamed.
"Calm down Ab! Calm down!" I said putting my hands on her shoulders.
"Neela what happened?!?!" She screamed to me.
"Abby, I don't know how I am going to say this but...you have a heart problem." I looked down.
"What...." She said trailing off and beginning to whimper.
"Don't worry! Everything will be alright! Look at me!" I said suddenly, putting my hand over my mouth.
"What? You....You have a heart problem?" She asked me.
"Yes Abby, yes I do."
