Your eyes flutter open, you stare at your ceiling;letting your eyes adjust. You sigh and look around, you passed out totally forgetting about the afternoon you had yesterday but quickly remembered when you were greeted by the sight of Warren sleeping at the end of your bed. You laughed quietly, he was out cold. You poked his side with your foot, only receiving a snore from him.

"Man, you must've been real tired, Warren." you spoke quietly, with a grin on your face. You put some of your cover onto him before grabbing some for yourself, before you could bury yourself back up in the sheets you heard a knock on your door. You sighed, you were going to go back to sleep but that plan was quickly interrupted. You got up from your bed and took your time as you went to the mirror, you adjusted your wig that you had fell asleep in. You sighed and went to the door;you cracked it so that the person could only see you, you looked surprised at the sight of Nathan.

"Sorry. To just show up unannounced," He seemed like he was stumbling on his words,not sure what to say, "I'm sorry about yesterday. I shouldn't have done that, I just--"

"Nathan, it's fine we're cool. I'm sorry I ran off, I was just..surprised." you felt your stomach get all tingly as you tried to grow the courage to tell him the truth

"Can I...come in?" he asked cautiously

"I--I um," you looked back at Warren who was still passed out on your bed, "Uh..I don't think that'd be a good idea." you didn't want him to see Warren, for one they didn't like each other and you certainly didn't want there to be a misunderstanding.

"I get it..I just wanted to stop by to apologize...I'll go." he began to turn away

"Wait! Nathan I think that there's...something I need to say but it's hard for me to say it..." you bite your lip, still trying to prepare yourself

"What is it?" he looked at you;his blue eyes bright and worried

"I--I," you looked down and sighed, unable to do it, "Nothing...I'll just tell you later. Will you...be at your dorm after class?"

"Yeah. You can stop by if you want." he shrugs, a slight smirk on his face

"I will," you smile, "I won't be able to show up to class, but I'll be there."

"Okay," his smirk grows, "See you then ." he leaves, you shut the door and smiled to yourself letting out a deep exhale. You had to tell him, you had to. You jumped onto your bed and shook Warren, he groaned

"Please just a few more minutes.." he mumbled

"I just told Nathan I'd go to his dorm after my treatment! I got to tell him, I can't not tell him! But I don't want to tell him, what am I gonna do?! What if I get so scared I barf on him?!" you shake him violently as you blurt out every bad thought as they come

"(Y/N)! Please," he finally yells,gripping your shoulders and locking his eyes with yours to calm you, "It'll be fine, you'll be fine..." he weakly smiles

You sigh,ruffling your hand through the hair on your head,
"Sorry, you're right," you look at him and smile, "You look disgusting with that dried up drool on your face." you laugh

"Well,you're the one with awful morning breath." he quietly chuckles,letting go of you

"You have it too, dummy." you stand from the bed

"Well I'm gonna go back to my dorm to take care of my hygiene and change since you're being so rude." he rolls his eyes with a grin as he gets up and scans the room for his shoes

You shake your head with a smile,
"Just being honest," you hand him his shoes, "Meet you in the parking lot, dork." you stick your tongue out at him

"How is it that I'm younger but you're the childish one," he laughs as he shakes his head, "See ya then." he ties his shoes and leaves your room.

You both had made it to the hospital for your early appointment, you stared at Warren as you both sat in the waiting room.

"Everytime it's like those parts in horror movies where a scene repeats over and over and over..like on a loop," you sigh with your arms crossed, "And it's like it'll never end,the character can't escape." you break the silence in the waiting room

"I...," he sighs and frowns, "I don't know what to say to that. "

"There's nothing you can say, I'm sorry to be such a bummer," you sigh and rest your head on his shoulder, "If this was a horror movie, I'm pretty sure I wouldn't have you. You know how they always split up.." you laugh quietly

"I'm here for you...always. We'll never split up,"  he rests his head against yours with a grin on his face, "No matter what."

"Shut up," you laugh again, "You'll make me cry."

"Well...I mean it." he grins, sitting up to look at you;he takes your hands.

"Thanks..I appreciate it." you grip his hand and perk up as soon as your name is called..

You sat in the seat, watching you doctor take a seat as his desk, you looked down at the gauze taped to your arm.

"You may notice something different from your usual visits Ms.(Y/L/N)." he opened your file

"Yea, you guys took blood. How come?"

"To see how and if you're progressing with the treatment, that's why we asked you to fast before today."

"Well how is it..?"

"Well," he smiles at you, "It turns out that you're in remission."

"W..what? What's that mean?" you knew what it meant, but you were unable to process the thought, you felt your throat tighten

"Well it means you're 'cured' in a sense. You'll still have to come in for checkups, and we'll closely monitor your health still. But, you seem to be much better."

"Are...you..serious?" you feel your heart beat fast in your chest as his words stuck in your head, you try your best to process them. Still in shock. You feel your eyes become hot with tears as you try your best to hold them back. You try your best to wake yourself up, but you're certain that this isn't a dream....
