And Then Things Go Downhill

Start from the beginning
                                    

Adrian looks a bit hurt and I sigh. I interlock our hands and kiss him.

"I'm sorry, it's all just too much." I confess and Adrian nods understandingly. He wipes away the tears and strokes my cheek.

"Everything will get better." Adrian pecks my lips for assurance and I smile up at him. "Lets go home and get you some rest."

"Thank you." I state as we are driving home. 

"For what?" Adrian looks at me for a split second before turning to look at the road ahead.

"For being here with me, and supporting me on my decision." I answer as I connect our hands. "It just makes me love you more."

"Well you are the one who didn't let your sister get you and was brave enough to show them." Adrian responds. "That just made me love and admire you even more."

"I love you." I smile up at him and he smiles back.

"And I love you Jane, my Jane." He replied causing my heart to do a million flips.

We entered the laboratory where Caitlyn, Hayley, my dad, and my mom were already waiting. Caitlyn gave me a nasty look and Hayley offered me an assuring smile. For a second they reminded me of Angelica and Gabby.

"It's going to be just fine." Adrian assured as he rubs my back. I nod and give him a grateful smile.

"We can do a blood test, I can scrap your cheek, and a hair sample. For the hair sample though we have to pick the hair from the root. Or would you can chose to do just one." The doctor informs.

"All three." Caitlyn is the first to answer.

Mom turns to look at me and asks, "Jane are you alright with that?"

"Yeah." I nod with a small smile.

"Alright, the first volunteer can sit on this chair and I will start by scraping the cheek." The doctor states as he gets his tools ready.

"I'll go first." I answer as I sit on the chair.

The doctor scraps my cheek and placed the sample into a plastic bag before picking a hair from my head. The hair is placed into a different bag and then the doctor pulls out a needle and rub. I've never like needles so I close my eyes as he inserts the needle into my vein and drains the blood from it. Once he is done he labels all three of my samples and I get up.

"We will wait outside." Adrian states as he leads us to the waiting room. He smiles up at me and pecks my lips. "You are the bravest girl I know."

"Thanks for being here." I reply as I place my head on his shoulder.

"I'll always be here for you." Adrian answers as he runs his hand through my brown locks.

Soon after my parents and siblings join us in the waiting room as the doctor informs us the results will take about an hour or so.

"Are you hungry?" Adrian asks and I shake my head.

"If you want you can go something to eat." I answer and he smiles down at me.
