When Kristen reached the door a whole new light of excitement build up inside her as she walked through the door. She greeted the receptionist, signed in, and walked into her planners room.
"Hi Blair", Kristen said as she opened the door, but to her surprise Blair wasn't there.
A tall man staring out the window turned around to greet her.
"Hello, I'm Nick Franklin", but before Nick could say anything else Kristen said
"Where's Blair?" "My wedding is in 3 months, and we still have a ton of work to do."
"Mam, I'm sorry but Mrs. High-tower has been admitted into the hospital."
"The hospital?" Kristen said with pain striking her heart.
"Yes, she got admitted this morning, its touch and go at this point.
Kristen couldn't believe what she was hearing, she sat down and put her hands to her face.
"How long will she be there?" Kristen asked with tears building in her hazel eyes.
"We don't know", Nick said as he made his way across the room to place a hand on her shoulder.
Kristen forgot about her own wedding for a second, said a quick prayer, stood up and was getting ready to walk out the door.
"Wait Miss", Nick said, "Here's the address to the hospital if you would like to see her."
"Thanks", Kristen said as she parted from the man and walked out the door.
When she finally reached her car she let out a silent cry and began driving to the address on the folded piece of paper.
Kristen reached the door in a blur, while trying to regain her composure. As she opened the door she looked at the middle-aged woman she'd grown to love in the past few months. Kristen was too preoccupied with her thoughts to realize that the woman in the bed was speaking to her.
"Kristen, come over here please."
"Oh I'm sorry Blair." Kristen said as she sat down next to the bed.
"Look sweetheart", Blair said as tears began to build in her piercing blue eyes. She grabbed Kristen's hand and looked deeply into the young girls troubled eyes.
"I..I don't know how to tell you this darling, but I don't know how much longer I have to live." Blair said while getting a little chocked up.
"You see, I suffered a severe heart attach and that's why I'm on this oxygen tank." "They thought I was sleeping but I heard them, I heard them say, lets let her live a couple of days and then we'll say the machine "broke".
"They..They can't do that Blair... can they?"
"I don't know sweetheart, I hope they don't". "Oh and listen, I can't help you plan the rest of your wedding because I'll have to take tests."
After Blair said that Kristen sat in silence not being able to process what was just said to her. Kristen got closer to Blair and gave her a hug, the two women didn't say anything but just cried in each others arms.
"Things will get better Blair". Kristen said more to herself than Blair.
The door opened and startled the women.
"Kristen this is Nick Franklin, the man who will be taking over the planning for me."
"Hi, we meet again." Nick said.
"Meet again?" Blair asked.
"Yeah, he's the one who told me where you were." Then Kristen gave Blair a hug and told her she would see her tomorrow, she walked out of the room but someone caught her arm making her freeze in her tracks, she turned around to see that it was Nick.
"Meet me in Blair's office tomorrow at 3 p.m."
Sarcastically Kristen said "Whatever", waved her hand as a way to dismiss him, and walked out of the hospital, got into her car and drove home.

This is a good chapter. It reads well. I would have to ask about the format, is there something you are saying with it? Could be but I am missing it. The characters seem good. i get an underlying feeling that they are well thought out with little hints here and there. Give me more..
this chapter is nice. i feel like Kristen and Nick are going to be together-together and not her fiance Ryan. hehe~ i'm not skipping any of it. soo nice!:))
Glad to see a longer chapter! Like dancing fish said, the format is a little...strange. Is there a reason for it? I thought it made the story difficult to read. If you just proofread this more, it will be so much more smooth. Make sure you insert commas where needed, use quotation marks at the beginning and end of every character's speech, and put the quotation marks AFTER the punctuation.
