Jennifer Dylan Cox sighed as she walked into Sacred Heart to find her dad. She said 'Hi' to Carla and Elliot on her way to the hospital room that her parents were in.
She walked in to find her mother lying on the bed again, and her dad sitting in the chair next to her. She walked over to them, she smiled.
"Mom," she started "you gotta stop drinking so much!"
Jordan shrugged. "Well…………. I kinda can't. Addicted, remember?" She smiled.
"Yeah, yeah." Jenny said as she plopped down on her father's lap and turned on the television. "So, why aren't you getting your stomach pumped yet?"
"Not this time. I just passed out. They're only going to check for some disease."
"Wha-tever." Jennifer said. "Hey, where's my stupid brother?"
"He went with his girlfriend out somewhere. Think he dumped Lisa, and he said something about a Kristine. But, I could be wrong. I was drunk at the time." Jordan said, half smiling.
A doctor came in with the test results. He flipped through the clip board, and then put both hands behind his back. He didn't look happy.
"Uh, Miss. Sullivan?" He said. "You have alcoholic liver disease."
Jordan looked stunned. Her drinking had resulted in a disease.
"So, Abnormally dark or light skin, Agitation, Bloody, dark black, or tarry bowel movements, Changing mood, and a lot of other side affects may be the result of this disease." The doctor said, looking down.
Perry's mouth was dropped open, and was looking at the doctor with worried expression. The doctor nodded and did the traditional walk off. He put the clip board on the bottom of the bed before he left.
"Gimmie that!" Jordan said, leaning upwards for the clip board. Once Jenny handed it to her, she dropped back onto the bed. "Symptoms may include, Confusion (Changed level in consciences, hallucinations, Impaired short-or-long term memory), Difficulty paying attention, Impaired judgments, blah, blah, blah…." Perry read over her shoulder. "Ah! Look at that one!" he said, pointing to a symptom, "Vomiting blood or material that looks like coffee grounds! "
Jordan raised her eyebrow at him, and then looked back at the papers. She threw it on the ground. "Oh my god!" she covered her face with her hands, then flopped on the hospital bed on her stomach and started to cry hysterically.
"Come on Jordan, all you have to do is stop drinking and the liver will heal itself!" Perry said to her, rubbing her back.
"That's why I'm crying!" she mumbled from under the pillow.
"I'll be right back, OK?" Jenny said, looking at her dad. He nodded. Jennifer walked out of the room to find Sam and Isabella standing in front of her.
"Hi, guys. What are you two doing here?" she asked them. Izzy spoke.
"We were worried. Usually Jordan would be out in less than 20 minutes, it's been an hour." Sam nodded in agreement.
"Well, my mother has got alcoholic's liver disease from all her drinking." JD slid down the wall and took out her cell phone. She pressed phone book and looked for the one labeled 'Aunt Danni'. Once she had found It, she pushed the select button and pressed the small phone to her ear.
"Hello?" she answered on the other line. Jenny let out a breath. "Uh, aunt Danni?"
"Ya?"
"Mom has lung disease." There was a small pause on the other line.
"Alright, I'll be there as soon as I can!" the line went dead and Jenny took the phone and hid it in her pocket.
"My mom isn't going to get better. She's addicted to beer and taquiela, and she won't stop. The disease is gonna kill her!" Jennifer Dylan yelled, starting to cry. Her friends tried to comfort her but it wasn't working.
"At least she'll try." Izzy said, not smiling. Sam rolled his eyes at her, and then looked back at Jenny. "I'm so sorry, Jen."
But, nothing was going to be sorry enough for the disease to be cured.
And Jenny knows that.
