it's Andy...."

------------------------

I smiled, and looked towards the window. "Is the door open?"
"No."
"Ok, come in." I said, and I heard the window creak slightly, and boots clinking against the floor. "Come over to the bed. I can't get up." I said, and I felt the bed dip slightly beside me. "You came..."
"Of course I did, I promised didn't I?" He said and I nodded, smiling. "So, can I ask, whats the drip for?"
"Oh it's just my medicen. I have to have it every three days for 24 hours."
"Oh, does it hurt?"
"Nope, I'm used to it now."
"Oh. Your doing better than me, it would annoy me really badly."
"It does annoy me sometimes because I cant move all day and I'm restricted as it is."

"Why can't you leave? Why don't you just run?" He said, and I sighed, and raised my knees to underneath my chin. "I can't."
"Why not?"
"Beacause...If I do I'll die..."
"Die? What do you mean?"
"My illness......this medicen. I can't get it anywhere else....If I leave here I don't get this, without this I die..."
There was nothing but scilence, and I felt Andy take my hand. "I'm sorry....can I ask, what is it that you've got?" He asked, and I looked up at him, wishing I could see his face.

"It's rare. It's only found in one in every 1 millon people, and theres cure's but there too expensive for anyone to afford. It causes clots in my blood, and blocks certian veins and vessles like my my sight one, and my eye colour one, and one that stps blood traveling to and from my heart. The dripn makes them move so that my heart dosent stop all together, and keeps my blood near to normal." I said, tears coming to my eyes. I felt him come closer to me, and he pulled me into a tight hug.

I nuzzeled into his neck, and breathed in his sent. He smelt like ciggarettes mixed with colone, and I smiled, enjoying the experience. He pulled away, and held my face. "I can't imagine what your going through everyday Hailey. It'd drain me so much that I'd give up on everything. But you continue to fight Hailey. Your amazing, and don't ever let anything or anyone get you down because your going through something that they couldent ever imagine. I know I havent known you for long, but I know for a fact that your the strongest person i've ever met or ever will meet."

I felt tears roll and he chuckled, wiping them away with him thumb. "Hey don't cry."
"Sorry."
"Don't say sorry either. I'm the one who should be sorry. Look what you go through."
"You get used to it after a while." I said, and he pulled me back into a hug, gently humming a song in my ear, and stroking my hair....

Notes

This is not a real illness, I just made one up for this because I don't want to upset anyone by using a real one that anyone, or anyone's loved ones are suffering from.

Anyway, here are the shout outs :)
