Count Of Three, We Run (Justin Bieber)

23. I'm So Old

《 I sighed. "I hate it when adults are right."

I heard Usher chuckled from across the phone. "Well news flash Bieber. You're 20. An adult."》

-Justin's POV-

"No shit sherlock." I stated the obvious to Usher.

But it wasn't the obvious to me. It was new. As if it hit me. It's been almost a month but it still hasn't hit to me that I'm so old.

-Mia's POV-

Justin left for practice... Now I have peace. Finally.

But I would never tell Justin. That hevwas annoying for all the days I've been in a coma. It doesn't matter if I don't make it to his last concert. But he shouldn't skip his last concert for a burden like me. It's not worth it. I'm npt worth it. I'm not worth anything.

"Mia." I heard Milton's voice. I would've jumped but I'm kinda parallyzed.

"I must've scared you. Your hearts beating faster." The beeps... right...

"I just... I don't know. I need someone near me so imma bully you since you can hear me. My wife... remember her?"

Stephanie... A 31 year old woman... Who's literally so beautiful. A ginger... and etc.

"She has cancer."

I could almost feel my heart stop. Well... I guess it didn't since the beeps were still even and the same as before.

"Cancer rate is getting so high these days. I swear to God, Mia. She has effing breast cancer. But what now? She's... dying. I know a lot more though cuz of... you. I never really knew or cared much about cancer patients disregarding the fact that I'm a doc..."

I wanted to breathe. But it was as if something was caught on my throat. I could hear Milton talking on the background. I wanted to cough... But no... I couldn't. I tried breathing again, but air was caught in my throat. I tried and tried until I felt like I couldn't hole it in anymore. I tried to breathe out but I also couldn't do that. I my thoughts started to blur and my throat started to burn.

-Justin's POV-

I was dancing along to All Around The World when my phone started ringing. Usher gave me the look. I waited for break time, but the phone never stopped ringing. Usher silenced it and eyed me... again.

Finally it was break and I looked at my phone. 74 missed calls... from Milton? I called back swiftly and he picked up at the first ring.

"I know you're busy and all but you've gotta know this. Mia's heart stopped."

And at the same time, so did mine. "Wha... what?"

"Couple hours after you left, I was talking to Mia about some stuff. And she just... I just... the heartbeat just... like... one solid line... and she... the heartbeat moniter... I... the nurses..."

I wanted to tell him to calm down that it will be alright... But no, although his sentences were broken I understood clearly what he was trying to tell me.
