Hally's point of view
I woke up but it was just 5:30am early in the morning. I saw Katy beside me and she was still sleeping. I didn't want to wake her up because she's tired and I'm sure she doesn't want to get bothered.
I decided to get out of bed and go downstairs. I remember last night when Katy took me back home and I had a bad fever. I still didn't feel that better. I opened my cabinet and got my purple jacket. It was cold and dark outside. I didn't want Katy to worry about me so I just decided to stay outside. I opened the door of my room slowly and quietly not to wake Katy up. I went down the stairs and headed to the living room. I got my phone in the table and checked if there were any calls or messages and there was none.
I left the living room and I slowly walked to the front door. As I opened it, I felt cold air rush inside me even if I was wearing a jacket. The street was deserted and not much people were here. I decided to take a walk around Katy's garden. It was just beautiful. I slid my hands inside the pocket of my jacket and stepped down the porch carefully. I walked in the green grass of the garden as I stared at the flowers and the sun rise.
It kind of lightened me up since it's my first time to see the sun rise, it was just beautiful. After a while, my legs got a bit tired and I decided to sit in the bench near the front door. I was just staring at the street and I was thinking about a couple of things. I felt wet tears streaming down my face. I didn't know why I was crying. I quickly wiped them off hoping that nobody saw me crying and being sentimental.
I stood up and opened the front door. I walked to the living room and opened the tv. I lowered the volume quietly so that I won't wake Katy up. The show that I was watching was Ellen. I got a little sleepy afterwards and so I decided to sleep for a couple of hours.
****************
I woke up after a couple of hours. I lifted my head carefully but I felt a hand in my head. I opened my eyes carefully and I was still in the living room. I only came to realize that Katy pulled me into a hug and I rested my head into her chest. She was awake and she was watching Good Morning America. She let go of the hug afterwards and stared at me.
"Good morning, princess!" she said with that motherly voice of hers. "Good morning, Katy" I said to her while I forced a little bit of happy tone in my voice. "How are you feeling? You look pale. We should go to the doctor and get a check up." She said to me as the smile on her face drops. "I don't feel well. I guess we should go to the doctor. I went outside this morning to get some fresh air. I didn't want to wake you up because you're still sleeping and you must be tired" I said to her whilst I felt her soft and smooth hands touching my face.
"I'm going to prepare your clothes. Just wait for me here and we'll be ready" She said to me as she stood up and left the living room. I wasn't supposed to tell Katy on how I felt but I didn't want her to worry about me so I decided to tell her the truth. I also didn't want to lie to her and cause a problem. I got up and turned off the tv. My sight started to become blurry and bright. I felt a little bit of oozing pain in my head. I walked slowly out of the living room.
I grab hold of the door of the living room to have support. I saw Katy carrying her bag and car keys and I finally got out of the living room. My sight started to become even more blurry and everything started to fade away. I tried to grab and hold Katy's arm. I wasn't able to hold her arm and everything started fading slowly away, I lost support. My world felt like it stopped, everything in my sight was black.
*******************
I woke up and I saw a bright white light. Even the walls were pure white, no clocks or even a tv. I didn't know where I was and I started to get nervous. I looked around and the room was deserted. I was lying down in the bed. I wondered for a second and I just thought in my mind that this couldn't be Katy's house.
I stared around once more and I saw a machine that has the heart rate and pulpitations. I came to realize that I was in the hospital. I didn't know the reason why I'm here. I saw Katy sitting on the chair beside my hospital bed. She was holding my hand with both her hands and her eyes were tightly closed. I can see the sadness in her face. It was pale, make-up free.
Katy didn't know I was awake. I just continued watching her quietly and staring at her. She must've been sleeping or praying. I decided to just spit a word out to let her know I'm awake.
"Hey Katy" I said to her trying to force a smile on my white pale face. "Oh... Oh my, babes. You're awake" she said to me as her voice sounded weak and melancholic. I looked into her eyes and they were just soft, motherly and sad. I saw tears welling up in her eyes but she was trying hard not to let them fall.
"I'm so sorry Katy for making you worry. I should've told you earlier and woke you up yesterday morning about how I was feeling, it was all may fault. I am so sorry." I apologized to Katy as my eyes welled up with tears. Katy went close to me and planted a soft kiss in my forehead. I can't help but let the tears fall. "Shhhhh. It's not your fault. Don't worry. It was mine because I left you alone the other night waiting for me" She said to me as she touched my face with her hand and wiped the tears off. "W-w-what happened Katy? Why am I here in the hospital? Where's Shannon, Markus, and the others?" I said to her with a confused look as I stared at her in the eyes.
"Mom and Dad went out to visit the Church and buy food. They're going to be back later. Angela and David are coming in the afternoon as well as Shannon and Markus" she said to me as she sat once again in the chair and held my hand with both her hands tightly. "But...where's John?" I asked Katy. She looked away and looked into the door of the hospital room. "He...he's going to come later. I told him about you and he got worried. He helped me bring you here in the hospital. Sweetie, you fainted when we were about to leave and go for a check up. You were trying to grab and hold my arm but it was too late and you fell to the ground. I was so worried about you and I started to panick" she said to me as the look in her eyes were soft and worried.
"What did the doctors say? Did they say the reason why I fainted?" I asked Katy worriedly. "They haven't found out the reason, yet. They're going to inform us as soon as possible" Katy said to me as she stroke my head gently.
I rested my head in the pillow and titled my head sideways. My eyes welled up with tears and the tears started streaming down my face. I lifted my left hand to wipe them off before Katy noticed me crying. She was still holding my hand with both of hers and it kind of made me comfortable. I started thinking about Max, he doesn't know about my condition right now and I don't want more people to worry about me because it even makes me more nervous and worried. I pushed my thoughts of Max in the back of my mind and I just decided to close my eyes and drift off to sleep.
Katy's Point of View
I was so worried about Hally. I'm just scared that her condition might be serious. I stood up and checked on her and I noticed that she was sleeping. I decided to call Shannon, hoping she would pick up.
"H-h-hello Katy? Are you okay? How's Hally?" she said to me worriedly. "Uhm, she's sleeping. I'm still waiting for the results of the test. Would you mind coming over here? John's going to come later at night" I said to her as I sat in the couch whilst playing with my necklace which was around my neck. "Yeah, sure I'll come. I'll just pick up Markus" she said to me as I heard the sound of people talking. She must've been taping for Raising Hope.
"Ok, thanks Shann. Bye" I said to her then I pressed the end button.
I checked on twitter and checked my mentions. There were a couple of Katycats who twitted me. I just trolled on their tweets and it somehow made me feel better. I decided to tweet and instantly, a lot of them retweeted and favorited it. After a while, I decided to take a nap since I was awake the whole night and I was pretty much tired.
"Hey Kate, please wake up. I'm here" I heard someone talk and her voice was familiar, it was Shannon. I slowly opened my eyes and I found her sitting beside me in the couch. I saw Markus standing near the bed where Hally was. "Oh hey Shann" I said to her as I rubbed my eyes to take out the sleepiness off them. "We brought you food. Come on, you should eat. You must be hungry" she said to me and I saw Markus walk towards both of us. He pushed the table gently near the couch where me and Shannon were. She held out a brown bag. I opened it and there was a pair of chopsticks and a chicken terriyaki.
I opened the bento box on where it was put and I started eating. Markus sat beside us. "So erm... Did you get the results yet?" I heard Shannon ask me. "Mmm... No. I've been waiting for them ever since a couple of hours ago. I guess the doctor's going to come over later at night" I said to both of them whilst still concentrating on my chicken terriyaki. I heard a knock on the door and me, Shannon and Markus stared at it for a while. I saw my mom and dad come in. I stood up and went to them. My mom hugged me whilst my dad kissed me in the forehead.
My mom dropped her bag in the couch as well as her jacket. "So how is she?" she asked me. I saw her go to Hally and stroked her head gently. She was still sleeping quietly. She looked like an angel, she was beautiful. "I haven't got any results yet. The doctor's probably going to tell us later. She woke up though and we spoke for quite a while then she slept once again. She must be tired" I said to my mom as I stood beside her and we both stared at Hally. My eyes started to become teary. I was just worried about Hally and I'll be willing to do anything for her.
I felt my dad's hand in my back while he stroked it gently. I can't help let the tears fall and I was crying on my dad's shoulders. He pulled me into a hug. "Katheryn, don't lose hope. God would always be there for us. I know she's going to be fine" I heard him said it. "He's right, Kate. Don't lose hope, she's a strong and brave girl" I heard Shannon say. "Oh Katy, we're going to be able to get through this together. Jesus won't let us down" I heard my mom say.
They're words have helped me calm down myself and know that hope is still present and it lightened me up.
*******************
It was 7:35pm in the night and I heard a knock on the door. Hally was still sleeping. David and Angela just arrived 30 minutes ago. I saw the doctor come in and he was carrying a clipboard with papers in them. He was on his late 40s.
"We've finally got the results. Would you mind if we talk outside?" he said to all of us. I began to stan up and everyone followed the doctor. His name was Dr. Mckinley.
My heart was pounding and I was nervous. I didn't what would be the result. I stood beside Shannon and she held my hand with both of hers and squizzed it tightly. Dr. Mckinley began to look at his clipboard and the papers in them, he scanned read them. "Well... It took us a long while to find Hally's results. We retried them because we thought that there was an error. I'm going to ask you a couple of questions" Dr. Mckinley said to all of us. "Did Hally get a serious sickness when she was young? Maybe on her toddler years or when she was a baby?" he asked. "I do remember. She did have a serious sickness and that was when her mom was still alive. The doctors said she might not be able to recover but thankfully she did" I said as voice got shaky. It brought me back to those days when me and Meg we're worried about Hally.
"Oh... I see. Well, it comes to know that the sickness she had before came back. It became even more serious. Unfortunately, she needs to stay here in the hospital for a couple of days. We've come to know that she needs to get operated. She'll be needing blood as well incase she loses when she undergoes thru the surgery" he said us with his eyes very tender. "How much will it be? We can pay by card" my dad said to the doctor. "For now, I can't say the exact price but I will tell you as soon as possible" he said.
"What will happen if she won't undergo the surgery?" I heard my mom say. I just stared at Dr. Mckinley while my eyes welled up. I was trying hard not to cry. My lips were shaking and I almost melted down. "She can still recover but I'm afraid it might affect her other body systems. It's best for her to undergo the surgery." Dr. Mckinley said. "Is...is she on a stable phase now?" I asked Dr. Mckinley whilst my lips were shaking. I looked down because I felt the tears stream down my phase. I felt Shannon's grip on my hand become tighter, she knew I was crying. "She's somehow on a stable phase. I promise we're not going to let anything happen to her" I heard the doctor say. "Well, if you'll excuse me I will have to excuse myself. I still need to check on the other patients. It was great to talk to all of you" he said to all of us and he slowly walked away.
I put my hands on my face as I felt the tears stream down even more. Everyone started to hug me. Angela went beside me. She put both of her hands on my face. She stared at me straightly. "Katy, everything's going to be fine. Trust me, we're going to be able to get through this. I know it's difficult" She said to me as she wiped the tears off my face. "Thanks Angela. Thank you for always being there for me" I said to her whilst I pulled her into a hug. "That's what sisters are for right?" she said as she smiled at me and we held each others hand and went inside the room. I can't help but smile. I wiped the tears off my face and just keep myself optimistic.
As we entered the room, I saw Hally lying down in the bed. She was awake. I came to her and I sat on the end of the bed. "Katy, did you cry? Your eyes are puffy. Are you okay?" she asked me worriedly. "I'm fine. It's just that we've known about your results" I told her. "I guess we're going to give you two some privacy to talk" I heard my dad say. I saw them leave the room immediately until I heard the door close.
"What did the doctor say, Katy?" Hally asked me. "Dr. Mckinley said that you have to stay here for a couple of days. You're going to go under a surgery. The sickness you got when you were still a baby came back. The one I told you about when me and your mom were worried about you" I said to her as I held her hand. Hally looked away as soon as I finished my sentence. I saw tears streaming down her face. I went close to her and wiped them off. "I know this is difficult but we have to stay together. You have to be strong. I know we can get through this" I said to her as my eyes welled up with tears.
"Can you please promise me something? Promise to do it Katy?" she told me as she faced me once again. "Please never leave me no matter what happens. Always be there for me. I promise to be strong." she said to me as I stared into her eyes. "Babes, I promise to never leave you, ever. All of us will be there for you" I finished my sentence as I kissed her in the forehead and the tears started streaming down once again.
