Chapter 3

CONNIE'S P.O.V

The tension was killing me. Was I or wasn't I? Wanting to get it over and done with, I grabbed the stick after the allotted time and glanced at it, willing the result to be negative. I don't think I've ever been so relieved in my life as the stick told me that I wasn't pregnant. I checked over and over again, making sure I had read it right. Just before Julie was due home, I hid the stick in the trash, as well as throwing up. I settled myself back down on the sofa where I simply stared at the ceiling, hoping this sick bug would hurry up and go. A while later, Julie bustled in, rushing to have a shower and change as Guy was picking her up for their date at a romantic restaurant. Whilst she was in the shower, I opened most of the windows, feeling very hot and yet again sick. Luckily she'd just got out of the shower when I dashed in there again.

"I think you need to see a Doctor Con's". She told me as I laid back down on the sofa.

"I'll be fine in a few days, it's just a stomach bug". I told her.

"You've been like this for a week". She looked at my pale, clammy face.

"Ok, I'll go tomorrow, now will you just get out of here, you know how Guy hates waiting". I laughed a little.

After she'd gone, I continued laying in the same position, well that was until I began feeling sick again. I didn't know how I could continue to be sick as I had eaten or drunk anything in the past 24 hours. I made it to the bathroom just in time. On my way back to the couch, I began to feel very disorientated, and before I knew it, my world had gone black.

ADAM'S P.O.V

I had been hanging out at Charlie's, when he got a call from Julie asking for one of us to go and sit with Connie as she still wasn't feeling well. Naturally we both offered to go, especially after sensing Julie's concern for her. I too was concerned, she'd been throwing up constantly since our double date about a week ago. We made our way over there in Charlie's car, knowing Connie wouldn't be too impressed, but at least it put our minds at rest. When we got there we rang the buzzer for her apartment, but we got no answer, after a few tries, one of the residents exited and knowing just who we were let us in. When we got to the right floor, we tried knocking on the door, but personally I wasn't expecting an answer as she hadn't answered the buzzer. After knocking a few times, I reached for the handle and slowly opened the unlocked door. That was strange in itself, they never simply left their door unlocked.

"Connie, it's Adam and Charlie". I shouted as we both entered.

"Connie". Charlie shouted as he went to look in her bedroom. I began following him, but something caught my eye. I turned sharpish and saw Connie laid out on the floor.

"Charlie". I yelled as we both dashed over to her. I tried shaking her awake, but she didn't murmur.

"C'mon, let's get her to hospital". Charlie told me after he tried.

I scooped her up in my arms, I hurried as fast as possible behind Charlie as he opened and closed doors. I gently laid her down in the back of Charlie's car and climbed in after her as Charlie started the engine. Within seconds of me closing the door, he put his foot on the gas and we sped in the direction of the local hospital. When we got there, I clambered out first then with the help of Charlie, carried Connie inside, where she was immediately taken from us and rushed through to see the doctor. Whist we were awaiting ay news, we both set about ringing the others to let them know. I called Ken, who let Russ, Dwayne, Goldberg, Luis and Averman know, Charlie called Fulton and Portman, then I called the restaurant Julie and Guy were eating at and left an message for them to come straight to the hospital. Within half an hour, most of the ducks had arrived, questioning me and Charlie to what was happening. We told them what we knew and began waiting impatiently. The door suddenly flew open, expecting it to be the doctor, we all jumped to our feet, to find it was Julie and Guy. Charlie quickly informed them of the situation, of which Julie reacted by blaming herself for leaving her on her own and not making her go to the doctors earlier.

CONNIE'S P.O.V

I slowly came around from what I can only describe as being asleep. I felt a pain in my hand and reached over with my other to stop the pain – how I don't know, but that was my plan. As I did so, I opened my eyes slowly, revealing to me, not my bedroom or living room but in a plain white room, with a framed picture of a vase and flowers directly in front of me. Suddenly, a face popped into view and smiled this overly sympathetic smile.

"Miss Moreau, I'm Doctor Crawley, two of your friends brought you to hospital. I know your hand hurts, but it is just a drip to get some fluid into you". She talked slowly to me as though I was stupid. "Do you know what happened"? She continued.

"Sort of". My voice croaked, through the dryness.

"And what did happen"?

"I was being sick". I replied. "Who brought me in"? I asked before she had the chance to ask anymore questions.

"Two very nice looking young men. I also understand that a few more of your friends have arrived. Is there anyone in particular you're wanting to see"?

"Julie". I answered.

Before she left to fetch Julie, she filled me in on the situation. I was on a drip because I was very dehydrated due to all the throwing up, and some blood had been taken to find out exactly what was causing the nausea. After explaining the ins and out's, she disappeared to fetch Julie. Within a minute or so, Julie entered my room, tear stains surrounded her eyes. She looked at me guiltily, her bottom lip trembling.

"Come here". I opened my arms and shoved up the bed a little. She slowly and cautiously climbed next to me.

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have left you". She told me eventually.

"Don't be. Look, this would have happened if you'd been there or not. I'm fine, really I am. I'm not dying or anything". I tried to make light of the situation.

"I know, but"...

"No buts, unless there nice ones". I laughed. "I don't blame you, so you shouldn't blame you either. Anyway, how did your date with Guy go"? I asked changing the subject.

"Ok". She said hesitantly.

"Just ok. Come on, give me some gory details". I pursued.

"He asked me to move in with him". She almost whispered. "But I won't". She said quickly.

"Why? Don't you want to"?

"I can't, you"...

"I said do you want to"?

"Well yeah, but"... I cut her off again.

"Well then, you have your answer". I told her. Before she could argue, the doctor knocked and walked back in. She held in her hands a piece of paper.

"I'll leave you alone for a few minutes". Julie began getting up.

"No it's ok". I touched her arm, urging her to stay.

"Well, I've got your blood test results back. They seem to pretty normal except for"...

HAHAHA there I go again lol. PLEASE R&R!!!!!
