Is it for real?
Chapter 5-Love, Love me do
Coop stood outside the hospital, looking around Jersey. Why did it seem like going into the future was a bad idea? Is that why most humans didn't do it? Probably something technical that Kiva would know about.
Kiva…
Why did she wind up with him in the long run? What was so great about that scrawny little grunge kid? Why did she seem to care so much about him?
What did he do wrong?
Coop sighed and walked down the street a bit, sitting on a bench. Things were so much easier when there was no giant robot OR a babe from the future near him. Life also is better with two hamburgers and a hot dog….
Jamie lay in the recovery bed, still asleep. Kiva stepped in, the nurse holding open the door. This was not what she expected. It was supposed to be a simple bump on the head. That was all. Why was it turning out to be so serious?
She walked over to him and sat down in a cushioned chair. If she had her future technology she could fix this. Yeah. That was it…Coop found his way to the future, why couldn't she?
Then again…Coop left them there. Coop was angry. Whatever was to happen, did he already know about it?
The doctor walked in rather regally, looking around. He was a tall man, light brown hair, and brilliant green eyes. He smiled charmingly at her, perhaps in a way to make her feel better. She mustered up a smile back, but it didn't go very far. He realized this and cleared his throat.
"It seems that your friend here," he said, emphasis on friend, "has a tumor on the base of his neck. We aren't sure if it is a harmful on, but we will have to do a biopsy to find out."
Kiva just watched him. A biopsy? Was that what they did when they didn't have technology? She put her head in her hands and sighed. Couldn't that be dangerous, with scalpels and such objects?
Then again, it couldn't be much worse then facing the glorft on a daily basis. She looked at Jamie and then to the doctor. If it would make him better, she would do anything.
She gave the doctor a slight nod and stood up to leave the room. She didn't want to be here, the stale smell of hospital filling her senses and the stinging of tears upon her eyes. This freaking sucked….
