The rest of the appointment was pretty much a blur. I didn't know what to think, who the hell would have paid for my medical bills? Because one thing was for sure, no one I knew had that kind of money just laying around. Well, Kate did, but when she heard that the bill was already paid, she looked so surprised. Was she that good of an actress? Or was it someone else?

"Amy." I heard Diana's voice taking me out of my daydream. I looked up at her, she was smiling warmly back at me. I smiled back. I liked her, she was nice and very professional. I couldn't have asked for a better doctor. Plus she was really easy on the eyes, I mean I was with Kate there was no doubt about that, but it didn't hurt to look right?

"I want to see you in 15 days, to keep up with your recovery. My assistant will call to set up the appointment." She said professionally, I nodded.

Manuel then helped me up, and as soon as I stood I felt Kate's arm around my waist. I smiled warmly looking up at her. I loved how caring she was, even if she didn't show it to other people, she was always caring when it came to me.

She grinned looking back at me and leaned down so she could kiss me, it was just a quick peck but as soon as her lips touched mine I heard Diana clear her throat lowly.

Blood rushed to my cheeks as I began to blush, I tried my best to shift away from Kate, but her arm was holding my waist securely. I looked back at Diana, only to see her shift her weight uncomfortably as she looked at us. I frowned, maybe she wasn't ok with the whole gay thing. I knew a lot of people weren't.

"Well, I'll see you in 15 then." I said, trying desperately to get away from that uncomfortable situation. Diana forced herself to smile back at me, but I could see that she was feeling awkward.

"Well, that was awkward." I muttered under my breath, low enough only for me to hear.

"What was that babe?" Kate asked, as she pulled me out of Diana's office, I shrugged.

"Ah, nothing sorry. I guess I'm just nervous to find out as why principal Lewis wanted to see me today." I lied. Well, it wasn't a complete lie actually, I was really nervous.

A few days ago, Christian Lewis, my school's principal, called in and scheduled a meeting. I had no idea what he wanted to talk to me about, but I was scared. What if he was going to tell me that there was some kind of mistake, and that I wasn't getting my diploma after all? I had been in a coma for two months, I should had been flunked right away because I missed so many classes.

"Don't be, I'm sure it won't be anything bad. You're the pride and honour of that school." She said, kissing me on the cheek, trying to cheer me up. I mustered a smile back at her, but my insides were squirming.

"I guess we'll find out soon enough, won't we?" I said with a dread, she just pulled me even tighter against her and dragged me through the halls, leading towards the parking lot. We walked in silence for a while, but I couldn't stop sighing or groaning lowly.

"Don't stress Amy, it will be fine." Manuel chimed in, for a second there I almost forgot he was with us. Ugh, what a horrible friend I am. I though as I turned to him.

"Sorry if I'm acting like a bitch, I'm just scared." I said in a small voice and they both laughed.

"Really Amy? That's your version of 'acting like a bitch'?" Kate asked and I blushed.

"Just let us get this over with." I said, motioning to her car, that was now much closer than before.

Finally Manuel gave in and took me in his arms. After some small pleading, of course. Kate didn't seem too happy at the action, but she did her best to muster a smile towards him. I was happy, she was finally coming around. After all, I bet that she could see that Manuel wasn't a threat at all. He was as gay as one could be, and so was I. Her being jealous of him made no sense whatsoever.

***

My hand was shaking as I brought it up to knock on principal Lewis' door. My heart was going a hundred miles per hour and I was starting to sweat like a hog. Oh well, what a beautiful image. I thought to myself as I rolled my eyes at my own awkwardness.

We waited for a few seconds, that unfortunately felt like years, until the door creeped open. Kate held my hand reassuringly and I mustered a smile back at her. Principal Lewis motioned for me to come in and sit down. Kate and Manuel took their seats beside me.

I looked up towards principal Lewis, he had a warm smile on his face. Well this could mean two things, either he had good news, or he was trying to relax me before he dropped a bomb. I for sure was praying for the first option.

"Miss Addams, you have no idea how good it is to see you. On behalf of our school I'd like to say how happy we are with your recovery." He started, I blushed with a nod.

"Thank you, principal Lewis." I managed to say, I took a sideways glance of Kate and she was smiling proudly at me. It made my heart swell.

"But well, I guess you must be wondering why I called you here, right?" He said and I stiffened up on my seat. Oh god, this is it. He is about to say that I didn't actually graduate. Oh crap, oh crap. I started to hyperventilate.

"Amy, baby, calm down. You're going to have a panic attack." Kate said, gently stroking my head. I nodded and started breathing in and out, trying my best to calm myself down. Once again principal Lewis smiled warmly down at me.

"Miss Addams, I can assure you I have nothing but good news, you have nothing to worry about." He said calmly, and that managed to make me at least breathe somewhat normally again.

"May I ask what this is all about?" I asked and he nodded, before speaking.

"Well, apparently your situation has caught quite the attention of some wealthy benefactors." He started and I frowned. What the hell did that mean?

"Miss Addams, with everything that happened and taking into account your grades and school work, a lot of people wanted to help you." He said, and I cocked my head to the side, still not understanding.

"What do you mean?" I asked and by now his smile was as big as I had ever seen. He was ecstatic.

"Amy, you've been offered a full scholarship, to Harvard's Medical School." He said finally, and I think my jaw just detached itself from the rest of my face. Was this true, I mean, could it be true? I looked around, half waiting for someone to jump out with a camera and scream 'Got ya!'

Of course my true dream was to go into veterinary medicine, but still, I wasn't going to be mental enough to deny an opportunity like that. That was a once in a lifetime deal, hell, not even that.

"Of course, you still need to write your application, the scholarship only applies if you get accepted. But I'm sure that with all the recommendations and your grades, you'll have nothing to worry about." He beamed and I couldn't wipe the smile off of my face. Harvard! Not just some small university. He said freaking Harvard! The best medical school in the country!

"Amy, don't cry." I heard Manuel beside me, and felt Katherine holding my hand tightly.

"I... I don't know what to say." I croaked, tears streaming down my face, but I had never been so happy in my life.

"You don't need to say anything, just promise you'll get in. You deserve it more than anyone else." He said and I nodded.

"Who offered the scholarship? I would love to thank them myself." I said finally and he smiled slightly.

"I'm sorry, but the donor wanted to stay anonymous. It seems that they don't want to draw attention to themselves." I nodded, but found it weird.

If there was one thing that I had learned about rich people from studying here throughout high school, was that rich people loved to make themselves the 'good guys.' They would seize any chance to gloat about offering a scholarship to some poor girl in need. So why wasn't this particular one doing that?

"I understand." I said finally. Well, it didn't really matter now. What mattered was the fact that things were finally getting better.

It seemed that finally, finally everything was starting to work out. I was alive, I was recovering well. I was living with my best friend, I had the best girlfriend anyone could ask for. And now, I had been offered a scholarship to a dream university, to major in such a noble profession. What else could I ask for? I smiled brightly holding Kate's hand in mine.

But then, a thought crossed my mind. Something that made my heart drop. Harvard was a long way from home... and from Katherine.
