"Nicola- don't." I take a seat at the back of the room and watch as Emily films her part, which takes about half an hour. Cameron walks back in and he sits beside me. He looks at me and I nod. "I know he doesn't want to see me, but what did I do?" I ask him angrily and he shakes his head. I get up and go to storm out but he shouts back at me. "It's His Aunt!." He says and I turn back around. "She's sick." I nod and sit back down beside him. "She is in surgery. He just got word from his mom." He says and I look at the ceiling. "She's called Nicoletta." I half laugh and nod. "I'm going to see him." I say and get up. "He's already gone." I turn around and look at him. "He already left for the hospital. We finish shooting tomorrow." I nod and see Cameron's hoodie. "Can I borrow that?" I ask and he nods. "Sure." He throws it to me and I smile. I grab my purse and run outside to Robert. "Where's the fire?" He asks with a chuckle. "I have to go to Samuel." He nods. "Ok." I half smile and run out of universal citywalk and get into a taxi. "LA general, please." I say and he nods.
I give him $15 and get out. I go to the front office and a guy stops me. "I'm guessing you're one of Samuel's housemates?" He says while looking me up and down. "Yeah." I say and he holds out his hand. "Manolo Acosta. Samuel's older- better looking half brother." I smile. "Nicola McDowney. Samuel's younger -plain looking best friend." He smiles and we walk in.
"I'll wait here if you want." I say and he shrugs. "Come on." He says and puts his arm around me while we get in the lift. We go on to the ward and Manolo walks over to a man and a woman. I half smile and Manolo nods. "Mom, dad, this is Nicola, Samuel's friend." They both smile and I walk towards them. "Hello." I say and they look at me. "I came straight from the videoshoot." I say and they half laugh. "Samuel is down the corridor, he's sitting on the floor." I nod. "I'll go find him." I say with a smile and excuse myself.
I walk down the hall and see someone lying down with their legs stretched accross the floor, holding the cross that is around his neck. Samuel.
He looks up at me and I nod. I sit down beside him and he moves away a little. I look up at the grey ceiling before looking back at him. I move closer and he puts his head on my shoulder. "How is she?" He nods. "She went into labour about an hour ago. There was some complications and now they're in theatre." He says while rubbing tears from his eyes and I nod. "How far along was she?" He nods. "9 Months." I smile a little. "She'll be fine." I say and he puts his arm around my waist. "I'm here Samuel. I always will be." I whisper and he nods. "Do you wanna go find a couple chairs? I'm sure you are freezing with those shorts on." He says and I laugh. "You don't know anything about me and you're going to be mean about what I'm wearing?" I say and he laughs. "That's my line." He says and I smile.
