CHAPTER FOURTEEN

IVY

The Beginning of Something New

Oh God, please let Moon be okay, I pray, holding my phone tight against my chest. I’m in a taxi heading to Dunedin Hospital. Zac called just moments ago as Sam’s lesson was about to start. Moon has been admitted into hospital because of low blood glucose.

I start blaming myself. Why didn’t I take good care of Moon? I should be the one to pick her up from school, not Gigi. I should be with Moon right now, not with Sam, teaching him algebra.

As the taxi nears the hospital, I rush out. My heart is in my throat as I search for the receptionist. Just as I’m about to approach one, I hear my name being called.

“Ivy!”

I swivel around to see Zac.

“This way.” Zac gestures, leading me to an elevator.

I follow behind him, my steps fast. My face is pale and body is shaking. Zac holds on to my hand as we ride the elevator to the fifth floor, where the children’s ward is situated.

If we were in a different situation, I would have flicked his hand away from mine already and told him off for holding my hand without my permission like this, but because I’m in this state, I ignore his handholding, focusing instead on reducing the trembling quake that has settled in my body.

I take a few deep breaths, trying to calm myself down, but my body just won’t stop shaking like a leaf in winter.

“Don’t worry, Ivy.” Zac reassures me quietly, his hand gripping mine as if to comfort me further. “Moon’s been admitted in already. We should know the results soon.”

I numbly nod. Those words are so kind that I suddenly find myself trembling even more. Zac seems to know my condition has worsened, and he immediately turns to me, his hand gripping mine tighter.

“Ivy, what’s wrong. Tell me?” he asks, his tone very caring.

“Zac. I can’t… I can’t…” I can’t speak. I can feel my legs caving in.

What’s wrong with me? Why am I so weak? Why must I be like this in front of Zac? Why am I showing Zac my weak side?

But Zac doesn’t seem to think like this.

The elevator door dings open just as my body decides to collapse with fear. Zac catches me in time and leads me out to sit on a chair in the hallway.

I feel lightheaded and my body feels like lead. My eyes frantically scatter everywhere, searching for something, for someone, but I can’t register anything. I feel sick. Fear, it’s fear that’s making me sick.

“Ivy.” I hear my name being called.

It’s Zac, but I don’t look at him. I’m too nervous, too scared of this whole situation. Instead, I try to calm my heart, but it continuously thumps, and now I feel myself about to break down.

Zac tilts my chin up so I’m now facing him. He’s crouching on the floor in front of me. His face is on level with mine. Placing his hands on either of my cheeks, he draws me close and looks into my eyes.
