BIG ANNOUNCEMENT IN THE END*

*Gabriel's POV*

The ambulance was already there, strapping Trishia into a stretcher. I got in the ambulance with the paramedics. They asked me major question about her allergy and case record. I was sitting there, holding her hands when the paramedic gave her oxygen mask and went through some checks.

On our way to the hospital, Trishia was half-awake,

"I'm dizzy..." She mumbled, lifting her head. I slipped my hand under her head, stroking her beautiful hair, "I know baby. But it'll pass i promise."

She smiled.

When we got to the hospital, they asked me to wait until they come back so i waited outside.

I texted Aubrie about what happened, hoping she could come to pick her up.

A nurse told me i could go in to see Trishia. I slowly entered the room, spotted Doctor, nurse, and Trishia lied down in the bed smiling at me. Doctor explained about her condition,

"She had a minor concussion, which could mean dizziness, headaches, nausea and blurred vision." He said,

"Is she okay, Doc?"

He nodded, "She just need some rest. And everything will be okay."

"Thank you Doctor." Trishia said in whisper,

"We will be back soon," They left the room and then Trishia and i were alone.

"This is sucks!" Trishia mumbled to me,

I chuckled, sat beside the bed.

"This is my first time i wear hospital gown," She said again,

"You mean....this is your first time treated in hospital?"

She nodded.

"Wow" My voice muffled,

She rolled her eyes, "Yeah, weird, i know right.."

"No no no that's..nice! That's mean you are fit and healthy for 19 years of your life."

She giggled, "Thanks for calling the ambulance for me, Gabe."

I stroked her hair, "It's my duty, young lady. I am your boyfriend, remember?"

She pulled me into a hug,

"Excuse me," A nurse came inside and asked, "Doctor want to talk with you privately."

"Me?" I pointed at myself, and i took her narrowed eyes as a yes,

"Go to sleep Trish. You'll feel better when you wake up." I said to Trishia, kissed him on the forehead and left the room.

The nurse showed me the way to Doctor's room and i went in.

"You want to talk to me, Doctor?" I asked,

"Yes, please have a sit!"

I sat up straighter in my chair, "So what is it, Doc?"

"The reason i called you in here, is for some reasons," The Doctor said sitting down at his desk opposite me, "But first, i have a question for you,"

"It's nothing serious," He said as soon he realised i was scared, immediately my heart beat slowed down and i exhaled.

"Are you a relative with Trishia?"

"I am..her boyfriend."

The Doctor nodded in understanding, "We found something in your girlfriend's blood,"

I gasped, "What?"

He began again, "She have a low blood count."

"It's mean she's anemic."

"What do we do?"

"Well, due to anemia we recommend daily iron supplements and everything will be okay for her. But....."

I stopped breathing, what does that 'but' mean?

"...she also have problem with her blood marrow, which produces blood cells."

"What does that mean?"

"Her blood narrow only produces the DNA of immature blood cells, mainly white cells. This abnormality causes the blood cells to grow and divide chaotically.

I completely confused,

"Normal blood cells die after a while and are replaced by new cells which are produced in the blood narrow. But in her case, her abnormal blood cells do not die so easily, and accumulate, occupying more and more space." He explained,

"Quite simply, the bad cells crowd out the good cells in the blood."

I gasped loudly, "Is that dangerous?"

"It can be,"

"What do you mean it can be??" I asked uneasy,

"I was afraid she has symptoms of leukemia,"

I couldn't barely breath. I just sat there as reality hit me.

"Le..leukemia?"

"Yes, but this isn't a problem if dealt with properly." He said interrupting my though.

"So what do we do then?" I breathed.

"You can try for a plasma transfusion,"

"Wait, is that like...blood transfusion?" I asked quietly,

"Sort of, but due to the dose of plasma we are giving to her will be high, it will make her feel sick,"

"But she'll be okay?"

"Yes, Trishia will be fine," He smiled.

***

"Hey," Trishia said as he saw the boy he loved came in,

"Hey," I said. Aubrie was already there too,

"You okay?" She asked as i got closer,

"I'm fine." I smiled,

"What did Doctor say to you?" Aubrie asked me, getting up from bedside chair,

"Doctor said you suffer from anemia due to the lack of you blood cells. But everything's fine."

"Thanks God," Trishia stated cautiously.

"We can go home now, right?" Aubrie demanded,

"Yeah, and oh, the doctor gave me medicine to take with you." I handed the pills to Aubrie as we spotted Trishia got up from her bed. She walked to got changed into her normal clothes and went out to Aubrie's car.

How's it? I got a brilliant idea for the story and i'm pretty sure it'll be so much struggle in the plot. just wait for it kay?
