telling me to update doesn't make updates any faster. I know you guys want to read what happens next, but I cannot help the amount of inspiration I get for a story.
As I've said before and I'll say it again, I have writers block for this story so writing chapter for this book is hard and telling me to update literally doesn't do anything.

(I hate being rude but it's just been frustrating me a little bit, I'll try and get back on track, but in the mean time, please just be patient.)

"But why?" Nicole asked Doctor Patrick as she sat in his office, tears streaming down her face and taking the makeup with them.

"We don't know. His lungs keep failing him and random moments, we thought his lung collapsed, but it didn't. It's like we can't figure out what's wrong with him no matter how hard we try. He's like a puzzle with a missing piece..."

Nicole rubbed her face, no giving a flying shit that her eyeliners was going everywhere.

"Why does he only have a week left?" She asked with a crack in her voice.

"Based on what's happened, his lungs have gotten severely damaged and now aren't working properly. He's not getting a lot of air in, that's why he's on the oxygen machine. But he would have to be on that machine for the rest of his life if he wants to live. His lungs are living in a forever asthma attack."

Nicole continued crowing and Doctor Patrick's eyes welled up a bit too.

"Isn't there something you could do? Anything? Please..."

He sighed. "We're trying the best we can."

Nicole let out a shaky breath before speaking.

"B-but...h-he's finally falling in love."

Joey and Daniel were playing War with cards as Joey has the oxygen mask on, preventing him from talking.

Daniel didn't mind though and they continued playing.
"So, I heard Nicole's wedding is tomorrow. She's going completely crazy," Joey giggled.

"I know she told me they already have all the tux's and dresses and the venue, but now she's trying to get a cake and a menu."
Joey nodded with a laugh which was muffled by the mask pushing oxygen in him, making his hands and entire body shake slightly because of it.

They placed down two kings at the same time.

"Oh yes, war!" Daniel said, putting down three cards upside down. Joey did the same and put his hand on the first one.

They flipped them over at the same time and Joey sighed. Daniel had a king and Joey had a jester.

"I better not freaking loose..." Joey said nervously, flipping the other card over.

Daniel had ten of hearts, and Joey had two of diamonds.

They flipped the last card over and Joey cheered. Daniel had three and Joey had another queen.

"Hell yeah, that's right! Yeah, just drown in your own self pity and loss, Daniel!" Joey said, taking all of the placed cards. Daniel groaned and rolled his eyes.

"Hey, this game sucks." Daniel said. Joey laughed sarcastically

"Oh, for sure. It always sucks for the loser!" Joey replied. Daniel smiled slightly and shook his head.

"No, I have an idea. Let's do something fun."
