Unexpected

Chapter Three

Fear

Melissa and my dad walked in, Stiles quickly stuffed my journal in his bag, unable to show Scott my crazy drawings, thankfully. 

"Scott. I've been trying to get ahold of you." Melissa grabbed Scott and looked at my dad. "I'll be right back, I just need to talk to him for a moment."

My dad looked at me, worry filled his eyes. I'd be worried to. He probably is thinking I have what mom had: frontotemporal dementia, early onset of course. But, this could be the reason I'm having all of these nightmares and having a breakdown in the middle of class. Ugh I sound crazy, it's probably nothing.

He came and sat by me, he was still in his sherif clothing. He's probably still on duty, he should be working. I grabbed his hand and smiled, faking happy. "Dad, we should go. I feel fine, let's not waste money with me sitting here doing nothing. I'll be fine. I promise."

I bit my lip as he shook his head while looking at the floor. "You call fainting in the middle of class after screaming, fine?" He asked, unsure. "Dad, please. I just wanna go home." I begged. He let out a sigh. "Okay-" He was cut off by Melissa walking in, looking over my charts. She sighed and shook her head. 

My heart began racing with nerves, whatever was happening was scaring the shit out of me. "What is it?" I asked, my voice shaking slightly. I could feel Stiles grab my hand in his. Melissa sent me a smile. "Nothing major, just your classic case of dehydration. Victoria, you need to make sure you're drinking lots of water, okay?" She rose her eyebrows, pointing at me with her finger in a motherly way. 

I let out a relieved breath, though my nerves didn't leave me completely. Stiles let go of my hand and let out a breath. "Well, I'm gonna go catch Scott. I'll see you two at home later." With that he left, slightly tripping over his own two feet on his way out the door. I laughed lightly at that but, shook my head and turned back to Melissa. 

"So, the Doctor said he just needs to come in and go over some results with you but, from what I see on your chart, you're good to go." I nodded at Melissa, "the Doctor will be in shortly with your blood results and then your nurse will discharge you. No one knows I was here, got it?" I nodded and laughed as she left the room, returning my chart where is was. 

Since Melissa is close to my family on a personal level, she's legally not allowed to take us as patients. She said it's conflict of interest which makes sense, but it sucks cause now I've got to deal with a complete stranger. 

I turned to my dad once Melissa was gone. "You heard her, I'm fine." I said, my fingers picking at the thin blanket slightly, as a way to distract myself from his worried look. "Now, go back to work, I'll call you if there's anything in my blood work that's concerning. I promise." 

Reluctantly, my dad left, but not before giving me a lecture on the importance of drinking water and also something along the lines of, there's a lot we need to discuss. I hate when I make my dad worry like that, he doesn't deserve it. He's already stressed enough as it is. I don't want to add more to his plate. 

A knock sounded on my door, making my eyes jump up from the white hospital blanket that I was picking at. A man in a white lab coat was standing there, with a smile on his lips and a chart in his hand. "Hi, I'm Doctor Green, may I come in Ms. Stilinski?" I nodded, my heart thumping in my chest for a reason I can't explain.
