Chapter 28
What's Your Problem!?
[Cat's POV]
"Ikenzie can you squeeze my hand?" The doctor said after giving her a small checkup. She placed her hand in Ikenzie's the same way as I had and this time she squeezed her hand and I and Italy both let out breaths I didn't know I was holding and I'm pretty sure she didn't know either.
"Okay you can let go." The doctor told her gently as she tried to removed her hand from Ikenzie's tight grip. She literally had to yank her hand away.
"Ahhhhh…..ahhhmmmmm." She started to make weird sounds before her eyes filled with tears. She quickly held up her hand shook up and down as panic took over her face.
"What?"
"She wants to write." Italy said reaching into the small drawer beside her bed. She pulled out a small pad and a pen and handed it over to Ikenzie before all three of us watched her write slowly.
She flashed the pad to the doctor as I looked over her shoulder.
"I can't hear anything." The paper read and my heart dropped.
The doctor's looked turned more serious as she bent down beside Ikenzie's right ear. "If you can hear this squeeze my hand." The doctor stated a little louder than an inside voice, as she placed her hand back in Ikenzie's but her hand stayed loose.
She moved around to the other side of the bed where she bent down and said the same thing in her left ear and this time Ikenzie squeezed her hand.
"I can hear a little in my left ear, but you sound so far away. Did I lose my hearing?" Ikenzie wrote before she flashed the pad up to the doctor as tears fell from her eyes.
The doctor took the pad from her as she wrote down the same thing she spoke out loud so we could hear. "Sometimes strokes and seizers can cause temporary hearing loss." She handed the pad and pencil back to Ikenzie who wrote quickly again.
"So I'll get my hearing back?"
She doctor furrowed her brows and she wrote and spoke again. "Sometimes it can be permanent but don't worry okay. We are going to run a few test on you to make sure everything is okay. I never had a patient have permanent hearing loss from a stroke or seizer. It's rare. So just stay calm."
"What if it is permanent?"
"You can still hear in your left ear and that's great. I'm sure you can still hear in your right. You should regain most of your hearing even if there is some permanent damage or not, but hearing aids can help if you've lost any hearing. You'll be fine. You're not going to be deaf. We don't want you to worry about that." She handed the pas back to Ikenzie.
She didn't seemed convinced at anything the doctor was telling her though. She put the pad aside as she turned over to her side and just cried before she pulled the covers to her face.
I reached over and placed my hand on her shoulder while Italy's hand went to her back. "Its.." I stopped as I noticed she couldn't hear me, so I settled with wrapping my arms around her and letting my lips place small kisses on her forehead.
I know she'll be okay.
[November's POV]
3 Days Later
"We have your results." The doctor said once she came back into the room that Tori and I have been sitting and waiting anxiously in for the past 30 minutes.
Tori took me to a doctors right outside of Hollywood. This place seems so much better than those small little clinics my mother has been taking me to, so I know they know what they are doing here.
They checked me way better than the clinics did. They gave me blood test and everything and I'm so positive they will tell me what is wrong today.
I guess it's not something to be just so happy about, but when you are sick for so long and nobody can tell you what's wrong with you, it's sickening and tiring you know? Nothing is helping me to get better, so now that they can find out what is wrong they can give me the right medicine to fix it and I can get all better and be a normal girl again!
"Knock, Knock." The doctor said as she peaked through the door.
I couldn't help but sitting at the edge of my seat.
"So?"
"Well I ran some test and it seems you have Pneumonia. There's a little fluid in your lungs, and your blood is rather thin, but this can all be fixed. You're not so bad to admit you into a hospital, but I want you to stay in bed. I'm going to prescribe you antibiotics for your pneumonia and a strong Vitamin K. Make sure to eat a lot of green veggies like broccoli, green beans, green peas stuff like that to help get your blood back to normal. But other than that babygirl you are fine." She smiled.
"You hear that Novie?" Tori nudged me as I sat staring at the doctor with a blank stare.
No…no, that's….this can't be right! Pneumonia! All this time I've had Pneumonia!? No! No way! I could have figured that out myself! The clinic would have noticed that! It has to be something else! Not Pneumonia! My dad didn't die from that! They would have known that!
"November?"
"Huh…oh…okay….are you sure?"
The doctor nodded and smiled. "Make sure to get plenty of rest and water. You're prescription will be in the front. Once you are dressed you're free to go. Any questions?"
I just shook my head slowly as she smiled shook mine and Tori's hand and then exited the room.
"Yay! Now you can get better!" Tori smiled as she gave me a side hug and then moved away. "Is Pneumonia contagious?" She eyed me.
I shrugged as I stood to change. This isn't right. No way this is right! UGH! This is exactly how my father died! No one could tell him what was wrong! All the doctors are wrong! They know nothing! I have to figure things out on my own, do my own research.
"Finish getting dressed. I'll be right out here." Tori said as she exited the room.
I'll be damned if I settle with this diagnosis…
[Beck's POV]
"No…..no…..nan…definite no…" I walked down the aisle looking for a new shampoo and conditioner. Mine back at home is getting pretty old. I need something new, but these all seem like crap.
"Oh, excuse me." I apologized to a woman standing next to me since I accidently bumped into her.
"Yeah watch it turd!"
Wait what?
"Hey you don't have to be rude, I ap….Jade?"
She turned around to me before an even bigger frown that she was already wearing swept across her face, but then quickly turned into an evil smirk. "Well look who it is." She crossed her arms and titled her head to the side.
I couldn't stop my eyes from looking her over from head to foot. "Wow, Jade….you look…"
"-Fantastic? Sexy? Beautiful? Out of a magazine gorgeous-"
"-Great." I stated plainly at her I know I'm so good-looking attitude, but I can't blame her. She does look absolutely stunning. Her body is more filled out than the last time I remember. Her skin s flawless, her green eyes are glowing, her hair in curly locks falling perfectly down her shoulders, her….wait….why do I care? I don't? Why am I looking? I'm not….
"Okay, well bye." She said as she turned around and started to walk away.
"Wait!" I reached over and grabbed her arm in which she turned around to me with an angry face and a flared nose, but it seemed to quickly soften.
"What Oliver?"
I let my hands slide into my pockets as I shrugged. "How are you doing? You know…what have you been up to?"
"Why are you worried about it?"
I sighed. "I'm just trying to small talk."
"What for?"
I really don't even know….well….I'm not going to lie, I've missed Jade over the years. I mean it's not wrong to see how's she's doing right? I mean despite the fact that I completely shattered her heart what? 100 years ago. I'm sure she's had to drop that though.
"I just wanted to see how you were doing?"
"Jadey look! Glow in the dark Marbles!" I heard Cat giggle as she walked up to Jade holding up a bag to her as if she were a small child.
I watched as Jade glanced at her before turning back to me. "I'm great." She stated nonchalantly.
"Ohhhh! Hi Beck!" Cat jumped as she waved at me. Jade turned to her once again this time uncrossing her arms and balling her hands into fist which made Cat turn her smile into a frown and made her whole bubbly happy attitude turn down. "Unhiiiii?" She looked up at Jade with puppy dog eyes.
Jade sighed before grabbing Cat's hand in hers and turning back to me. "I'm fine." She said before turning around dragging Cat with her. Cat snuck a wave and a smile at me as they turned the corner as I gave her a small wave back.
Jade seems as if she hasn't changed a bit, but I kind of feel bad for Cat. I mean I know Jade controls the poor girl. Cat's so vulnerable and Jade use to get her to do anything. I use to talk to Cat about that back in high school. I tried to toughen her up, but that didn't work.
I just hope she's not letting Jade control her life. Cat had a beautiful future ahead of her back in high school. I hope she's happy with where she is now.
RING, RING, RING, RING
I looked at my caller I.D. before I cussed under my breath and sighed. She's getting on my last nerve with this….
"What Tori?"
"…..Excuse me?"
I sighed. "Sorry babe. What's up?"
"Where are you?"
"I'm at the store Tori. I'm getting some hair products. Then I'm coming home."
"You have a ton here at the house?"
"I wanted new ones. Look…you have to stop with this."
"Stop with what?"
"Calling me all the time asking where I am, and when I'll be home. What? Do you think I'm cheating on you or something?"
"….."
"Tori!?"
"No… no babe, I don't think that, it's just….you're never here anymore. You're always out."
"I have a new job babe. I'm working more. I'll be gone more."
"…I know, I know…."
"Then why do you keep doing this? It's making me feel that you don't trust me or something?"
"No! I trust you! I do. I'm sorry. I just miss you being here is all I guess."
"I know. I miss being at home more too. I'll be there soon okay? Love you."
"Love you too babe."
I put my phone in my pocket before finally grabbing a good quality shampoo and conditioner and walking to the front to pay.
"Well hey there. Nice to see you again. The young cashier smiled as she scanned my items. "You live around here?"
No I just see you here all the time and I always chose this random store when I shop.
"Yeah."
"That'll be $27.35."
I pulled out my wallet and handed her my card that she took her time swiping as she looked me over.
"So…are you seeing anyone?"
I lifted my hand and flashed my ring as she frowned. "Have a good night." She stated nonchalantly as she ignored me and started to pick her nails.
I shook my head as I walked into the parking lot and pulled out my keys. It wasn't until I got my door unlocked that I heard the yelling and screaming coming from a few cars behind me.
I squinted my eyes to get a better look to see that it was Jade with her hand around Cat's wrist and it looked as if she was twisting it.
I ran over to her car and banged on her window before she let go and she was indeed twisting Cat's wrist as I saw it twist back to its right position once she let go.
"What the hell do you want!?" She yelled through her closed window.
"Dude why do you have your hands on her!?"
"Stay out of our business Oliver! She's fine!"
"She's crying!" I said letting my finger poke her window hard as I pointed to Cat. "What the hell is your problem!?"
She started her car as she turned away from me.
"Jade!"
I watched as she roughly put her car in drive as she sped from the parking lot as I hit the back of it.
There's no….no way in hell that Jade's…nan. I mean Jade's…aggressive and all, but Cat, she was always gentle with Cat. God I hope she's not hurting her. Tori's been hanging with Cat. She would know if anything was wrong. Cat would tell. I know she would or even if she didn't want to it would slip. Cat can't keep anything to herself. She's never been able to.
I sighed and ran my hand through my hair before returning to my own car.
God I hope everything's okay with her…
[Monica's & Isis's Text]
Monica: Isis…
Isis: What? You done exploring already?
Monica: (frowning emoticon) Isis I didn't mean it like that. You are making it sound so horrible.
Isis: Oh I'm sorry for not sounding positive about you dumping me to fuck some guys.
Monica: Isis! It's not like that!
Isis: Yes the hell it is! Stop trying to sugar coat it to make it sound all sweet and innocent! That's basically what you told me! Is it not!?
Monica:…. Yes, but it's not like that.
Isis: Stop texting me. You are wasting my time. I don't have time for broken hearts.
Monica: Isis, I would never break your heart!
Isis: Oh really? Tell that to the band-aid that's keeping it together.
Monica: Isis! No I'm so sorry! I didn't mean for it to be this way. I don't know what I was thinking!
Isis: Whatever Monica. Like I said, you're wasting my time. Stop texting my phone. Goodbye.
