KATIE REQUESTS

Steve Nelson

I sat and wait for very long time, my date seems to be running late ...or not coming . how ironic but not surprising as from what I hear from Kelly about this girl , I always prepared for this and I'm not sitting here waiting for a woman.

I had a feelings she would stood me up...

I walk to the car and left the restaurant, my time is limited I have elsewhere to be.

On my way back to the hotel . My phone buzz, I stare onto the name

Little devil "

I put in my earpods and answers it .

HEY, " I said in a casual tone .

Hey Steve'e, umm , Katrina call , she couldn't make it today, she had a family emergency and ....needed to leave ," she trail of at the end .

Okay " I mumbled completely uninterested.

Um, maybe I can set up another date for you guys when she is back, " she said as hopes lingered in her voice.

Mm, " I hummed not willing to hurt the Devil feelings.

Okay, " she said as I picture her smiling happily

But when will that be ?" I question as I have other plans, and I would be so happy if this little devil and her best friend won't be in my way ..

Umm, she paused and sighed. " I don't know, according to her , her mother is unhealthy, and she just wants to be around her for the time being."

Umm , I have things to do in the mean time anyways so , I guess you will inform me of this next schedule of ours " I said in a faltering tone , honestly it would be great if They don't waste my time .

Okay, " talk later. I gotta to go," she said, then hung up .

I drove until I reached the hotel which I'm staying at.

Good evening, Mr Nelson. " The guard greets, and I nod

Good evening Josh, " I greeted and walked forward, but then stopped .

Has my guests arrived?" I question not looking back at him.

No , sir, " he said, and I nodded before leaving.

I went to my room and packed. I needed to leave.

***

I walked to the car and threw my bags at the back and went in , I started the car and drove. It's going to be a long drive, but I would rather drive as I need to clear my thoughts..

****

I ended up at the airport. maybe flying is better, I need to get some sleep, so I drove to the airport instead of going on that long drive i was planning.

In another city

In a hospital

Katie walks in with her eyes set on one person only despite the crowded room.

I have talked to the doctor , and they said you will be fine . You just need more blood, and soon they will be working on that , but you need to relax " Katie said with a genuine smile

Moncia turn to look at her other kids " But ..."

No buts mom , everything is under control " Katie reassure her but no one believes her as the doctor already informed about everything.

AB- ) is rare , are you sure ,you have everything under control, I asked the doctor and they said they don't....

Before ken could finish his sentence, Katie interrupted.

Ken , I said I have everything under control " Katie said again in a high pitch voice . It was uncall that she rise her voice at someone but he was about to say something, monica didn't need to know ..

"There isn't any AB- blood in the country.."

Moncia smile weakly at Katie " I know you're trying your best ...."

Mom , trust me " Katie said and Moncia nods , just then a doctors and a nurse came in

Sorry to interrupted you but time is up "

The doctor said .

Everyone nods , then went to kiss Moncia hands and told her " get well soon ", everyone leaves but Katie.

Katie aren't you leaving ?" Moncia asked and Katie nod giving her mother a gentle smile .

After you fell asleep " she said not willing to leak any information.

The doctor injected her , soon she fell asleep and the doctor started to work on her as they took Katie to lay on the next bed, turns out they were really out of blood but by coincidence , Katie blood is same as Moncia.

Before we start , is there any sickness that she have?" The doctor asked the nurse as he asked her to do a check up on Katie health records .

Yeah...but...

it's not something she could get through blood " Katie complete the nurse sentence.

Mm" and the sickness we are talking about is ?"

Depression " the nurse answered and Katie nod her head as she looks at Monica.

"Need I remind you that , she needs alot of blood , are you sure you're up for this ?" The doctor question to be sure.

Yeah " Katie nods despite she felt like she couldn't make it as she felt weak as hell because she needs more rest and haven't eaten for two days not like it was something new to her ...

Just don't let her know " Katie requested again .

Don't let anyone know " she Said as she close her eyes.
