Chapter III
"The need of help"
"So how are you feeling Alec?" doctor Anderson asked, as she took my blood for examination. Still even after a year in a remission I was dedicated to do check-ups four times in a year.
"Good doc, really good"
"Magnus is waiting outside?"
"No, he had this rehearsal today for some show in his school" she smiled a little at me, and gave the syringe to the nurse.
"Ah, how is he doing…what was that school again?"
"Julliard" she nodded "He's doing pretty good. He has so much work there, I mean he's in a music class so…but he's doing good"
"That's great, and you?"
"Oh I'm great" I smiled widely at her "I just got last week my first person to work with. Her name is Rose, she's on a wheelchair and I'm helping her with groceries and cooking and all. She's so awesome"
"I'm glad you enjoy your work"
"I really do!"
"Alright that's all" she rolled down the sleeve of my navy blue sweater, that Magnus bought me last week. Then she scribbled something in her notepad. "I'll call in two days to tell you results, ok?"
"Ok. Bye Lauren"
"Bye Alec"
…
The hall in the hospital was strangely not crowded today. So I could spot clearly some of familiar faces and some new as well. I smiled politely to doctors and nurses before I bumped into someone really familiar to me.
"David, hi!"
"Hi Alec. How are you?"
"Good, you?" he patted my shoulder and smiled at me.
"Great as always." He moved to the wall and placed some rolled paper on the bench, before he got up on it. "Alec hand me the tape"
"What's that?" I pointed at the poster that he was hanging. There were some people on it, looking like they're helping some sick people.
"We're looking for some volunteers to help. Mostly for patients in the Children-Wing"
"Mhm"
When David had left me, I moved closer to the poster and wondered. Would I be good in being a volunteer? Could I become one? I admit I was curious what a volunteer is doing in children-wing. So no long later I found myself in there. It was strange being here once again. I haven't been here since three years.
Many kids were playing in the play-room together or by themselves. Some of them I could clearly tell that are sick, that have cancer. The other were with broken leg or arm.
"Hello" I heard behind my back some female voice, that made me jump a little "Are you looking for someone?"
"No, no. I…" she was maybe forty-years old woman in green hospital-cloth, with jet-black hair and brown eyes "I saw the poster that you're looking for some volunteers…and I thought…"
"Would you like to become one of them?" I slowly nodded "That's wonderful, we need some young people that wants to help. Annie!"
A blonde girl, my age or a bit older raised her head, and soon left a little boy and moved to the other woman and me.
"Annie, this young gentleman would like to become a volunteer, fill him up"
"Sure. I'm Annie"
"I'm Alec" she was a beautiful girl, wearing green blouse and black skinny jeans.
"Come on meet the kids and I'll tell you what we're doing here"
Annie started to explain how my work here would look like. We should play with kids, and spend time with them when their parents can't. Sometimes help them with eating or escorting to the bathroom. But mostly play with kids. And I was pretty sure that I could do it easily. She introduced me to every kid in the play room, and now I was called Alec or like the twelve years old girls called me Pretty Boy.
"You're pretty, you know" said Sarah, a ten years old girl who serves a myeloid leukemia. She was blushing when she was telling me that, while we played with dolls. She was Barbie and I was Ken there.
"You're very pretty yourself princess"
"No I'm not, I don't have my hair"
"But you still look beautiful" she smiled shyly at me, but tears built up in her jade eyes "You know a year ago I looked like you"
Her eyes were confused and shocked when I showed her a picture of me from times when I was in a hospital.
"So you were sick too?" I nodded "And now?"
"I'm no longer sick, I'm in remission"
"I'd like to be in remission too" her voice was sad, and somehow I found myself taking her in my arms. "My mom and dad are very sad because I'm in the hospital. Mom is sometimes crying too"
"My mom and dad were crying for me too. But you know that is the sign that they love and care about us"
I spent in the hospital four hours playing with kids there. After my time there they didn't want let me out from there. I could leave only with a promise to come back tomorrow. And that was the promise that I made.
After hospital I went to do groceries for Rose and in her place I started to clean up and talk to her.
"I'm telling you the kids there are really great. They didn't want to let me out" she laughed loudly and threw me a fresh table cloth to put it on the table in the living room.
"I'm happy for you Alec. It's great that you're enjoying helping people"
"Yeah!" I set up a table for two people. Rose had a date tonight with some guy she met on the physiotherapy "So, tell me again, who's the guy you're meeting?"
"His name is Luke and he's so charming" I smiled at her when her voice was all dreamy "And totally hot, like your Magnus"
"Wow, then he must be a truly hot stuff"
…
Magnus dragged himself finally home, all exhausted but on the time for a supper. He sunk down on the chair, breathing heavily as I placed a plate in front of him.
"How was your day Magnus?"
"Tiring, but good, yours baby?" he chewed slowly his rice and vegetables, drinking occasionally some apple juice.
"Great. I went to Rose, she greets you by the way. Oh and I was in the hospital today for my check-up"
"It was today? Shit! Alec I'm so sorry I forgot but…"
"Don't bother love. I'm totally ok" he was having his eyes half closed, so I moved to him and got him up from the chair "Why won't you go shower and sleep, ok?"
"Ok. You can tell me more about your day once I'm in bed"
After a half hour Magnus was laying down in our bed, with his head on my chest. I started to talking to him while I stroked his shortened damped hair.
"And I became a volunteer in the hospital. In Children-Wing. And I'm telling you the kids there are so adorable and cute. We played in many games. Hell I even played with dolls today with one girl that has leukemia. I drew with them. And you won't believe some girls calls me pretty boy, you believe it? Oh and they hugged me when I had to go home. But they didn't want to let me go, but I promised that I'll come tomorrow as well. You know…I had fun today with them. I really enjoy spending time with those kids. I…"
Then I heard slight snoring, and Magnus's grip on my right hand loosened up. Slowly I untangled from him and gently moved his head on his pillow. Then I covered him with some sheets, before I went to take a shower. After that I laid next to him and fell asleep with my arms around his hips.
…
Bless my collage that I have so great schedule. Today I had only three morning classes and one at four p.m. So that gave me four spare hours in the middle. I already had done groceries to home so I could go to the hospital.
Once in there I haven't seen Annie today. No, today was some boy a bit younger than me, maybe Izzy's age.
"You must be Alec, the new guy" he shook my hand firmly "I'm Tom. Nice to meet you"
"Like wise"
"Alec!" Kids hugged me around my legs tightly, making me almost fall on my back. If it wouldn't be for Tom I'd definitely land on my butt. "You came back!"
"Of course I came. I promised you kiddos"
We started playing once again. Today we decided to play guess who I am. With Tom and Annie, who came an hour later, we played some cartoons characters.
"You're Smurf" shouted one of boys, I only shook my head.
"Guess further"
"He said blue and red" some girl "Are you a superhero?"
From my side came only simple nod.
"Are you Superman?"
"Ding, ding, ding, and we have a winner" Annie clapped her hands "Girls 5 boys 3"
"My turn!" a small blonde haired boy came to Annie and pulled out a small white card from her hat, and looked at it. After a few seconds he smiled at us and begun his turn "I'm big, and green. I have violet pants"
"You're Hulk!" a black haired boy with a broken leg shouted.
"Yes! One point for boys. Scribble down Alec we're getting better at this" the blonde boy smiled widely at me.
"Now me!" a brown haired girl with broken arm moved for her card. "My hair is long, and I live in a tower"
"A princess?" Sarah inquired. The other girl nodded. "Princess Fiona from Shrek?"
"Nope"
"Rapunzel" one of the boys said, all girls looked at him surprised, making him a bit intimidated. "What? I have twin sister. Mom read the story thousand times"
"Point for boys" I said, writing in on the blackboard. "And we have a match drawn. So why don't we draw for a while, huh?"
Everyone nodded at my idea, and soon we begun to draw.
"So Alec" one of the younger girls sat next to me, and placed her picture on the table "Do you have a girlfriend?"
"No…" it made me blush when she asked, slightly but still. Not very often girls were asking me those things.
"Really? No girlfriend? I thought that boys your age have pretty girlfriends"
"Well they do Livvie, but I don't"
"Why not?" she drilled further. "There wasn't any princess for you?"
"No, but I have my own prince" her hazel eyes were wide opened.
"You have a prince? A boyfriend?" I nodded smiling at her shyly "Do you have his picture? Is he pretty like you?"
"I think he is pretty" I took out my phone and showed her a photo of Magnus. "That's my Prince Charming"
"What's his name?"
"Magnus"
"Guys!" she shouted "Come see how Alec's boyfriend look!"
A bunch of kids gathered around Olivia who held my phone. She showed Magnus's picture to everyone, and I was looking at their reactions. Adults reacted not good at homosexuals, but kids were different if their parents weren't feeding them on that stupid idea, that being homosexual is something bad, a sin.
"He's so beautiful"
"He's glittery"
"He's pretty"
"Why his hair are spiked? How he's holding this up on head?"
"He's like a cartoon character"
"Alec" Olivia said, when she handed me my phone back "Your boyfriend is so pretty, like a prince from fairytales. So pretty"
"Well…thank you. I'll tell him that" all of girls grinned at me, and went back to drawing with boys.
Unfortunately finally came my time to go back on classes. With very tight hugs for every kid I made my goodbyes.
"You will come back tomorrow Alec?"
"Of course, you have my word"
Once back on my classes I couldn't focused on anything. I was thinking about those kids in the hospital. How quickly in two days I grew to like them very much. How I feel to be with them. How I feel the need of helping them. And how that help and time with them brings the joy to my life.
A/N: Did you like it?
So? How do you like Alec being a volunteer in the hospital? I have to tell you that it's connected with some future matters in this story.
Also! Very important note! From the next chapter I'm going to do 'jump in times' you know, I'm going to skip like 4 years, so we could get faster to the part that everyone is interested in: . the drama.

PS. Also, if anyone is interested, I wrote my super-romantic-cheesy version of MALEC's wedding (Malec from books). {there are probably mistakes in there in grammar or so, but still you may read it, if you want to. }
