Subject: I choke back each tear that bleeds...
In reply to: Jasmine 's message, " So complicated to escape fate
And you can never understand till we trade places
Tell the world I been guilty of being to anxious
It's time to face this, cold world on a good day" on Sun, Nov 21 2004, 6:17pm PST

She had been in the middle of a discussion in one of her tutorials when she had gotten the message, and within moments she had had her things packed and was out the door. Thankfully Austin had given her his truck for the day so she didn't have to call a cab or rely on public transit to get her to the hospital as soon as possible. Even still, as many speed limits as she had broken and as many amber lights as she had run, she hadn't been able to get there soon enough. Some quick questioning at the front desk of the emergency room had her directed up to the oncology ward - she took the stairs because the elevator was taking too long - but the moment she pushed through the firedoor that lead from the stairwell to the floor, she slowed down and just took a deep breath. Sometimes she left like she had spent so much of her childhood years in here - the quiet environment she had always found to be more unnerving than soothing, and the colorful trees and other scenery painted along the walls just reminded her all-to-well that there were kids here who would never leave. Swallowing the lump in her throat, she pulled her lilac peacoat tighter around her, despite that it was much warmer in there than outside and then shoved her fingers into the pockets of her jeans as she headed towards the familiar looking nurse behind the desk - but spotted Jas in the waiting area before she made it there...

She paused, hoping it was Luc but still glad that someone was here and she knew that Mia would be the first person Austin wanted to see. She bit her lip as she saw the girl, swallowing heavily - she had to say she admired the girl for volunteering to deal with this for the rest of their lives. "Mia..sweetie..." She let out a low breath, shaking her head, opening her arms to give the girl a hug. There was no telling when Luc would get the message but Jimmy had said that he would stay there until he saw him. "He...he was fine this morning - you saw him right? I mean, he was fine..." She let out a low breath, shaking her head, her brow furrowed. It never stop to amaze her how this disease could just lie dormant for months on end and then just flare up in a moments notice. It was like a traumatizing, painful version of hell on earth, this waiting game they were all forced to play. (NT) -- Jasmine, Sun, Nov 21 2004, 6:45pm PST
