I'm fine

I was surprised when Chadd suddenly punched Kevin. I saw Kevin lying on the floor. I would have approached Kevin when Chadd stopped me. "What's wrong with you?" I was going to remove his hand but he hold on me tightened "Let me go" I cried while saying it to him, he looked at me "its hurt" I sat on the floor when he released me.

"Are you ok?" I could not hold back my tears as I faced Kevin. I could see in his eyes that he was worried about me even though his face was bruised and his lips were bleeding.

"Why are you so kind to me?" I restrain myself from crouching. He smiled at me in response.

"Stay away from him" I looked at Chadd as he slightly pushed Kevin. He already calmed down slightly. "I'm sorry" he was not looking at me but I knew it was me.

"I'm fine" I replied with a smile

"No, you're not" we looked at Kevin together "Let me help you. Let me take you to the hospital"

Chadd stood up to match Kevin's height. My suspicion was correct earlier. They are have same heights. Chadd turned his back on me while he blocked Kevin, so I couldn't read or see their faces. I do not know what is happening. Are they already killing each other? I grabbed Chadd's collar but soon I let go of that as well because I'm losing my breath.

"Rey, stay with me" I closed my eyes but I knew it was Chadd's voice.

"Let me take her"

"Dude. I can take her. Don't ever dare to touch her again"

I felt someone lift me up. I slowly opened my eyes but I just closed my eyes because of the sun. I stared at him while we down the stairs.

"I'm fine" He just looked at me. When he got me in the car, I stopped him from closing the door. I showed him Sam's phone "I switch my phone with Sam. My bag is in the room either" he took the phone and ran back inside to go to the clinic.

I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. I looked at my hand, there was still the trace of Chadd's hand. I just smiled. This is the first time Chadd has done that to me even though he has never been able to hurt me physically. Also this is the first time I saw him that mad.

I just tried to catch my breath while waiting for Chadd. I looked outside and saw him coming out of school I smiled. He left the window open for air to enter but that didn't seem to be enough for me. I'm still losing oxygen. Chadd noticed that I was having a hard time, so he ran faster.

"I'm here. Stay with me, Rey. Please Stay with me" I nodded at him and smiled before I lost consciousness.

"She's fine calm down" is that mom? Why is she in my room? Who is she talking to? I can't open my eyes, I'm so weak to move.

"It's my fault" I know that voice is from Chadd.

"What's wrong?" I said poorly. I think they heard me when they looked at me at the same time. Chadd sat on the edge of my bed and held my hand.

"I'm going to call the doctor" Mom said. She smiled at me before leaving. I looked around, this is not my room. I suddenly remember what happened earlier.

I look at Chadd. Did he cry? I smiled at him. "I'm fine"

"I'm sorry" I could see how his tears were dripping. I wiped his tears with one hand. I smiled at him to say that he should not worry, and I was ok.

The doctor looked at me after he entered. Chadd's face was just serious as he looked at me. I just smiled at him again.

They all went out to talk. The doctor makes me rest. I just woke up and then I fell asleep again. I took my bag from the table and looked for my cellphone, it's good its there.

I covered my mouth when I saw the time and date. I slept one day so Chadd was worried. If I just woke up early maybe he wouldn't blame himself. It's good that there is no school today. I first opened the message on my phone. Sam texted me.

'I can't go this week. My dad admitted me. I have a fever that does not go down '

'Where hospital, are you?'

I did not wait long before she replied 'I'm in Areei Hospital' I looked at my clothes. I was wearing a hospital gown. I smiled when I read Areei Hospital.

'What room are you in?'

'103' she is in the first floor.

"Who are you talking to?" I looked at Chadd who had just entered.

"Can I buy ice cream?"

"Sure but I'll just buy it. Cookies n cream, right?" I nodded at him.

"And chocolate, pls?" He looked at me.

"You don't eat chocolate"

"Sam is here too. I want to surprise her" he nodded and went out to buy. Mom came in.

"Are you ok, sweetie?"

"Yes, mom" I smiled at her.

"Where is Chadd going?"

"To buy ice cream" I let her sit first before I continue "Can I go, mom?"

"Where?"

"Room 013. My friend is there"

"Sure" I hugged her with joy.

Mom and Chadd support me towards Sam. Sam was happy when I entered her room. Chadd left me there so it was not awkward between the two of them. It's a good thing Chadd agreed to pull by Mom if he not let mom pulled him I guess he will be here with us.

"What happened to your arm?" Sam held my hand carefully. He saw the trace of Chadd's hand that was still not missing but its better now.

"Its from Chadd"

"He hurt you?"

"No. Its not that. It just happened unexpectedly. It was not intentional" she nodded, but she didn't seem to believe it. "I have leukemia" she stopped eating the melted ice cream. I won't give her a cold one because her fever will only get worse "That's why I had it when he held me a little tightly. I also have asthma. I lost my breath that time and when I woke up, I'm here"

"I'm sorry"

"No" I smiled at her "I'm used to it"

I changed our topic. Sam did not ask about what happened then and what happened to me. We are the only ones in the hospital who enjoy. I really love how our friendship work is like we are like true sisters. Sam become my weakness. She is one of the people I can not afford to lose.
