chapter three

Virginia POV:

I turn around and look down at the clipboard. I start reading it until I see one word. Cancer. All of a sudden I can't breathe and it feels like it's getting really hot. Then the room starts spinning and then everything goes black. After an hour (I think), I gain consciousness again. I wake up and look around. I'm no longer in exam room two but I'm in someone's house. I hear footsteps coming towards the room. Before I could even hide under the blanket. The person walked into the room. But I soon realized that it was Nicholas. "wh-what are you doing here? where am I?" I ask trying not to stutter. "Um..You passed out and since I didn't know where you lived, I took you to my house."He says. Then I remember what happened. "You-you have-" I don't even finish my sentence before crying. I was so horrible to him when he came into the hospital. Nicholas walks over to me and pulls me in a hug. "Gin-Virginia. It's fine, I've come to terms with it." He says wincing when he says, Virginia. " I'm so sorry. I was so horrible to you." I say crying into his shirt. "Evie, I understand why you were mad at me. I do. I should have told you my reasons and I should've said goodbye. I wish I did." He says. He brought up an old nickname he used to call me. He used to call me Evie because my middle name is Genevieve. He very rarely called me Ginny or Virginia but he hasn't called me that in a long time. I look up. "You called me Evie" I say. "I'm sorry I won't call you that if you don't like it." He says not looking me in the eyes. "No, I like it. It's just you took me by surprise. You haven't called me that in a while." I say. He looks at me and gives me a grin. I smile back. But then I remember lunch. Then I start to panick. "WAIT! WHAT TIME IS IT?!?" I scream. "It's a quarter after 2. Why?" Nicholas says. "I WAS SUPPOSED TO HAVE LUNCH WITH ISABELLA!" I scream as I get up and grab my phone. But there are no miss calls or text from her. "Evie, calm down. I passed by her on the way out. I told her what happened and she said that she'll call you later. Also, you have the rest of the day off." Nicholas says calmly. I relax. "thank you." I say, while sending a quick text to Isabella telling her I'm okay. "Um...I should get going. But here give me your phone" I say. he hands me his phone and I put my number in and text myself. "There. Now, We can catch up sometime." I say. "Thank you for helping me out and I'm sorry for being so rude to you." I say giving him a hug. I walk out the door and to my car.
