Strange Encounters-JeffMads

4. It took a bit...

A/N) ok, so this chapter i plan to introduce John and Alexander, but they won't be in the shot for long. I promise that there will be more of them in the story though.

It took a bit to get to the doctors. I mean, I'm not too fast with someone on my back. I didn't make her walk though. She sounded like she was getting worse. Each cough progressively sounded more and more intense. She mumbled curse words after each coughing fit, which helped me tell that they were hurting her. She normally brushed off a cough with a sip of water. But she never asked for the one a brought.

Once we finally got there, there was one person there, so we were hoping the trip would be fast. I sat her down and brought a clipboard so that she could help me fill out her information. It showed that she didn't have an emergency contact listed, so i wrote down my contact for her. She didn't know i did, I'll tell her after we leave though. I went up to return the clipboard to the lady behind the desk, when i saw a sign that said 'Patients Only'. Which meant that only the people getting checked on could go back there. So i took it to ask the woman if i could go back with Peggy as it hurt her to walk on her own. The lady didn't seemed to mind. She just smiled and nodded. 

We waited for around 10 minutes before she got called back.

"Peggy Schuyler to the examiner room" a lady called over the intercom. 

I looked at Peggy, and motioned that it was time for her to go back. I stood before her and helped her up. Then I swung my arm around her so that she wouldn't have to use too much pressure to walk. She looked a bit nauseated, as she was walking, she clenched her stomach and puffed out her cheeks. 

We made it to the examiner room without her hurling in the hallway, and we were greeted by one of he doctors.

"Hello, I'm Dr.*choose a name lmao idc*. Can you tell me whats wrong?" he said looking at Peggy. Peggy looked up at me, gesturing for me to talk for her.

"She's been coughing quite a bit. It's gotten to the point where its hurting her. She threw up last night as well. Really she's aching everywhere. It hurts for her to walk around on her own." I told him.

"Oh dear. Sounds like Flu Type B. Has she been taking any medicine?" he asked, jotting down her symptoms I'm assuming. 

"Uh yeah, kinda. Last night i gave her an over the counter cold and flu relief pill. It didn't do much to help though as she had taken the medicine before she threw up." 

He then jotted down something else and asked us to follow him to one of the rooms.

"A nurse will be back here in a few minutes to take some swabs and check up on her. After all that is done, we'll come back and give the lab results." He said walking out of the room we were in.

While we waited for the nurse, I sat Peggy in the chair that the patients would sit in. I sat in the chair that the doctor or nurse would sit in. I would get up when the nurse came in. 

As we sat and waited, Peggy started to have another coughing fit. Once it settled down a bit, a tear ran down her cheek and she grabbed my hand. 

"Is it hurting that bad?" I asked concerned. She just nodded and curled up in the chair.

"It's gonna be alright. Once they figure out what you have, they'll give you medicine that'll help. You'll be feeling better in no time." I told her. 

She nodded. I felt terrible for her. 

I was about to start conversation with her-yes or no questions so she wouldn't have to talk-but then a nurse came in. As she walked in, I stood up, which made Peggy sit up a bit, slowly, but she sat up eventually.
