" I'm sorry this had to happen to you" said Bradin "although I'm not sure we met properly last night"
"not really" I smiled , remembering .
Johnny and Eva taking their cue from Bradin moved out into the hall and shut the door. Bradin moved himself over on the bed and patted the side so that I could climb up. I pulled down my skirt so I wasn't flashing anyone, and straightened my blouse. I climbed up and snuggled into the crook of his arm, trying to avoid the iv line in his arm. I put my head on his shoulder, and He lightly kissed my forehead. I lifted my head and our lips met, and his lips were perfect. Apart from being stunningly beautiful to look at they were the softest I'd ever kissed. My hands went roaming through his gorgeously unkempt hair. Our make out session increased, and the heat of passion took over. A few minutes passed , and we broke apart gasping for air. I put my head back onto his shoulder and we both fell asleep, in this position. I heard voices outside the door and I turned my head to the sound. I figured the sound had just come from someone in the next room. The door still being shut , I rested my hand on bradin's chest, to wake him up. I looked at him and whispered,
"I think there is someone outside with your aunt and umm.. Johnny "
"really " He asked "who else knows I'm here?"
" I'm not sure" I started, and for a second I thought back to last night. "Erika , but that's about it"
We froze for a second when the footsteps returned, and then the voices started again clear as day.
There was a male voice I didn't recognize, mixed with that of Johnny and Ava.
" I have some news concerning Bradin" "which one of you is the boy's legal guardian" said the voice.
Hearing this I knew it was the doctor, but I didn't want to speak up. I turned and looked at Bradin, who looked at me , and shrugged.
" I am " came aunt Ava' s voice .
" I have to inform you ," said the voice . " we have found some interesting , test results from your son" the doctor said matter of factly. "we have found that these results point to a type of acute… "
His last word was so inaudible that Bradin and I didn't hear it. My eyes started to water, but I didn't want to cry in front of him. I turned my head and buried it in bradin's shoulder and cried not caring anymore.
"why ?" I asked him through tears.
"why what?" He asked me
"why did it have to be this way?"
