Chapter Six


Later that day

Lauren woke up but she didn't have to throw up. At least not yet anyways. Lauren turned around and saw Scott sleeping on her chair. Lauren smiled. She was glad the Scott had stayed. She'd been up for 10 minutes and she hadn't had to throw up yet so she thought it might be over. She thought to soon. About 30 seconds after she thought that she had to vomit again.

Scott heard her and ran to go get the tissue and glass of water. When he got back Lauren was still throwing up so he just turned around and waited until he didn't hear anything anymore. About 1 minute later the noise stopped. Scott turned around and saw Lauren huddled over the garbage can. She looked like she was going to cry. Scott walked up to her and sat by her on the couch and rubbed her back.

"Lauren what's wrong?"

"I don't want to be sick anymore."

"Lauren its ok it'll pass soon."

"How are you so sure? I've been sick for almost 2 weeks."

"Lauren. I'm taking you to the doctor."

"No Scott! I don't like doctors."

"Lauren. We have to. You are really sick."

"Fine I will. I'm not sure if I can get up though."

"Here I'll help you."

Scott helps Lauren up. They didn't really care that she was in her pjs. She was sick. Scott got Lauren to his truck without either of them falling down. Scott brought a lot of plastic bags just in case she threw up again. Which she did 2 times along the way.

About 10 minutes later they arrived at the doctors office. Scott carried Lauren from his truck inside to the hospital and went to the reception desk.

"Hi, may I help you?" the lady asked.

"Yes. My friend here is very sick and has been for the past two weeks and I would like her to see a doctor as soon as possible" Scott said.

"Ok. Do you have your medical card?" the lady asked.

Scott looked down at Lauren and she shook her head.

"No" Scott answered for Lauren.

"Ok that' no problem I just need to ask you a few questions" said the lady.

After they had checked in, Lauren and Scott took a seat in the waiting area. It was a good day to come in because hardly anyone was there. They sat where there weren't a lot of people. Around 20 min later a doctor called Lauren's name and Scott carried her into the room as they waited for the doctor. A few minutes a nurse came in. From her name tag, Lauren and Scott could tell her name was Emma.

"Hi, I'm Emma" she said.

"Hi" Scott said.

"Now, what seems to be the problem with..." she trailed off looking down at her clip board.

"Lauren" she finished.

"Well..." Scott started.

"Lauren has been sick for about 2 weeks now and we don't know what the problem is" Scott said.

"Ok. What are some symptoms she has been having" the nurse asked.

"At first it was just an upset stomach and she started to look really pale. Then a few days ago she started to throw up constantly" Scott said as the nurse wrote it down on her clip board.

"I see..." the nurse said with a suspicious look on her face.

"Yeah" Scott said bluntly.

'What's with the look' Lauren thought.

Lauren gasped and both Scott and the nurse looked at her.

'Oh my God! It couldn't be!' she thought her heart racing.

"What is it?" Scott asked.

"Umm..." Lauren started.

"I think I know why you have been getting sick" the nurse said.

"So do I" Lauren replied quietly.

Scott was now officially confused. He had no idea what was going on and he really wasn't sure whether he wanted to.

"I'll be right back," Emma said.

"Lauren," Scott said. He was so confused he had no idea what was going on and obviously Lauren and Emma clicked or something. Both of them knew what was happening but he didn't.

Lauren just shook her head like she didn't want to talk about it. Good thing that she still had the plastic bags because right at that moment she started to vomit again. Scott turned around towards the door. He didn't like to watch people vomit. That whole sick thing grossed him out a bit.
