Y/N POV:
"I'm sorry Y/N, but there's nothing more we can do." I sat there completely numb. In the back of my mind, I knew this was coming, but now that it's finally been said into the universe, I'm not sure what to do.
"Ok thank you." I barely managed to whisper my response and the doctor just looked down. I pulled myself to my feet, feeling the dizziness take over. I clutched the arm of the chair I was previously sat on to steady myself before straightening up. The doctor handed me some papers and information booklets about the next steps I needed to take. But I didn't verbally reply. I just nodded and walked out of the hospital.
The car ride home was silent. I didn't turn the radio on or connect my phone to the aux. I just drove. I didn't tell anyone I was going to the appointment today because I didn't want to jinx it. What started out as a stupid headache is now going to be the very death of me.
I made it back to the compound where I parked my car and left to my room without a word. I walked past a couple of people but I didn't care enough to see who they were. What's the point in keeping friendships when I'm gonna die anyway.
Our room was spotless like always, thanks to Nat. I changed out of my jeans and pulled on Nat's comfy sweats and her favourite hoodie and curled up under the duvet. If the world can't see me then I cant see the world, and so my terminal diagnosis doesn't exist. Simple logic.
Although I felt exhausted, my mind wouldn't let me sleep. I just lay there, thoughts swirling around my mind. Only when my head started pounding did it all start to feel very real, and the tears started. I pulled the duvet over my head as I sobbed, afraid that the sound would carry through the walls.
NAT POV:
Y/N had disappeared somewhere today but she didn't seem to be in a talkative mood. I made it my mission to have a chat with her when she came back.
I had training in the morning and then paperwork to do all afternoon, so I was busy enough. But as I was on a call with Fury, I heard Y/N's Mclaren pull up outside so I made a mental note to wrap the conversation up quickly. But Fury ends the call when he wants to, so I had to stay there for another 30 minutes whilst he debriefed me about my next mission.
The minute he hung up I went to my room, where I guessed Y/N would be. The lights were dim, so I opened the door quietly incase she was sleeping. And she was. A tiny human surrounded by mountains of duvets. As I walked over to the bed, my foot stepped on her tote bag by accident and I felt papers rustle. I picked her bag up and moved it to her desk so we wouldn't stand on it again.
As I placed it down, a shiny booklet fell to the opening and I caught a glimpse of 2 words which made my heart sink to my stomach.
