â
Theyâve been making tests for four hours now and nobodyâd tell me whatâs wrong with her' he paced the waiting room like a trapped tiger, only pausing to look at the door longingly, willing it to open and revealing a doctor, nurse, paramedic, whatever to tell him whatever they had to say.
He hated the smells of hospitals. It smelled of people dying, of mourning family members and the terrible stench of hopelessness.
Just then he saw his parents walk in and his mother walked over to him and hugged him. âWe caught the first plane here, honey. How is she?â she asked with a worried expression on her face.
Worried for the woman her son loved so much and also partly for her son who looked like he had ages years in the last few days. He sighed and greeted his dad too, glad that they were there.
âThe doctors wonât say, theyâve been running tests in there for four hours already and Iâm so tired of waitingâ he sat down on a chair and put his face in his hands.
âI know honey, but wouldnât you want them to be thorough? So they donât miss anything?â
It killed Barbara to see him like this and William was shaken to the bones too. Now all they could do was waitâ¦.
âLuke!â Alex hurried towards him, tears on her face, flinging herself into his arms, sobbing.
âAlex, let go, come on honeyâ Lauren had to peel Alex from him and sat her down on a chair, smoothing a hand over her hair
âHeyâ she said to Luke and kissed him on the cheek
âNo news yet, as I take itâ he merely nodded
âThe others should be arriving soon, I called them right after you called! How are you?â she asked him, concerned.
âEverybody keeps asking me that, how do you think I feel, finding my girlfriends sprawled on the kitchen floor, barely alive, then having to wait here for six hours, not knowing if sheâs okay or not, how would you feel??â
Seeing the hurt expression on Laurens face
âIâm sorry, I know you care as much about her as I do, itâs just so damn frustrating, sitting out here, kept in the dark. And Iâm also sorry that you had to find out about her⦠condition like this!â
âItâs okay, itâs an extreme situation, donât worry about itâ she touched his arm slightly to calm him down as the others stepped up to them, all with concerned looks on their faces
âSorry I didnât make it earlier, I had to deal with a client whoâs a real pain in the ass!â Sheila gazed around the group and stopped talking. Everybody was lost in their own world of fear and worried, until a doctor came out the door and cleared his throat, ripping everyone from their haze.
Luke stepped up to him, not able to form the question.
âAre you the family of Miss Gilmore?â
âYes, Iâm her boyfriend, Luke Danes, Iâm listed as her emergency contact, these are my parents and her closest friendsâ
âGood, Iâm Dr. Mercer!â he shook Lukes hand
âMiss Gilmore was brought to us after she had passed out in her kitchen. This is a common thing with cancer patients, especially if the brain is affected. So we CTed her and found out, that the cancer has began to spread so there are lots of metastases. No other therapy has any effect so you might consider chemotherapyâ
He held up a hand as Luke tried to speak
âBut let me finish. Miss Gilmore is in a stable condition right now, but her brain is already so affected that the possibility of slipping into a coma is very plausible. Sheâs over the peak, not in the life-threatening situation that she was in when she came in but.. thereâs also possibility that she might fall asleep and never wake up againâ
âOh Godâ Lukes knees gave in and he had to sit down, Lauren put a hand over her mouth, tears filling her eyes, Chris stared off into space, a pained look on his face, Sheila wore a deep frown, kneading her hands, Tom was hyperventilating and breathing into a bag and Barbara and William rushed over to their son who kept shaking his head, repeating âNo,
no, NO!â over and over again.
Dr. Mercer stepped up to Luke and put a hand on his shoulder, Lukes heat shot up
âDo you want to see her?â asked the doctor quietly and Luke got up on shaky feet. He walked behind the doctor, needing to see his girlfriend, but at the same time he was awfully afraid if what heâll see.
He looked around and silently pleaded with his mother to come with him. They entered the ICU and the buzz from the hospital faded away, here all they heard was the beeping of the EKG and the huffing from the breathing aid.
The three of them rounded a corner and Lukeâs breath caught in his chest and he heard his mothers gasp from far far away. Lorelai was in a hospital bed, pale as the sheets surrounding her, tubes coming out of her, keeping her alive. He had never seen her so small and vulnerable and he wished that he wouldnât have to experience this.
A single tear rolled down his cheek as he stepped up to the bed and ran a finger across Lorelaiâs cold palm. He pulled up a chair and sat down next to her, taking her hand in his, trying to warm it up a little.
Barbara decided that it was best if she left him alone right now so she pulled the door shut slowly and went back to the others.
He let his gaze travel across the different machines she was hooked to, the beeping EKG showing that she was physically alive, the breathing machine to
keep her physically alive without the psychological help and various others he didnât even want to know.
She slowly opened her eyes and Luke focused again on her. He squeezed her hand to make sure she knew he was there, but she was still so engrossed in her own world that she didnât notice him at first.
Then she turned her head and smiled faintly âHeyâ
âYouâ he pointed a finger at her
âDonât ever do that again, you almost gave me a heart attackâ he tried to ridicule this whole thing but she could see the evident pain in his eyes so she cupped his cheek
âIâm sorryâ
âDonât be, okay? Youâve got other things to focus on right nowâ
And they talked for a while until Lorelai was getting tired and it took another while to convince her to go to sleep.
Luke never left her side.
