Chapter 50 ~ A shock

ATHENA

Two months later....

"I've been so ashamed to visit you. I'm sorry it took me so long!" Mira, hold my hands, and I hold hers back.

"It wasn't your fault." I smile at her, but she shakes her head.

"It was. I shouldn't have left you alone for so long." Tears well in her eyes, and I laugh.

I'm having a hard time trying to put the face in my mind, but after failing miserably, I just sighed.

But just a look at her, I can tell she's someone I'd totally be friends with.

"You look cute like that." I tease when she glares at me.

"How are you feeling?" She asks, and I groan as I lean back in the hospital bed.

I hate hospitals, and having come back here meant I was on my last stroll. Nothing about this place eases my mind. So when I was told I've always wanted to be a doctor, I knew I had to get help if I'm going to live to my full potential.

There must have been a reason why I wanted to be a doctor. I just know it.

"Athena, babe. Stop spacing out. How are you feeling?" Mira repeats.

"Like I'm carrying everyone's burdens on my shoulders." I try to say it with a joke, but it isn't.

That's how I feel.

I've been in the hospital for a few hours since I decided not to self diagnose anymore. Ariana and Eli have yet to come through since I told them a few minutes ago. Alex would have insisted on a doctor of his choosing, so I didn't even bother to tell him.
