Wow! I couldn't believe the amount of review and the response to this story. This is my first, and I am really excited. As you can probably tell, I am a HUGE NILEY fan. Thank You BLOSSOM 108 for the ideas! I am so sorry that it took me this long to get this up, but I promise that I will have the next chapter up soon! Enjoy!
Last Time:
"Miley, you have type one diabetes," Tish said.
Miley just sat there in shock. She didn't know what to think. She immediately thought of Nick. She knew he had diabetes, but she really didn't know what it was. She was scared. Tears welled up in her eyes as she stared at her mom in shock.
Tish got up out of the chair that she was sitting in, walked over to her daughter, and hugged her. She told her that everything would be ok, and that they would get through this together. Miley cried in her mother's arms. She had thought for a while that she was a young adult, but now in the embrace of her mother's arms, she felt like a small, scared child. She felt like there was nothing she could do.
Of course Tish felt the same way. She held her daughter and comforted her. She didn't feel like there was anything else that could be done. She hated for Miley to feel this way, and the words of comfort that she spoke were just as much for her as they were for Miley. After a few minutes, Miley pulled away and wiped her face.
"Does dad know?" Miley asked.
"I called him, and he said that he is going to cancel the shows this week and fly out tomorrow," Tish said as she sat back down in the chair.
"Mom, what is diabetes?"Miley asked with a nervous expression.
"Well, I'm going to let Dr. Leslie answer that for you. She knows a lot more about it than I do. She said that once you woke up, to let her know so she can come in and explain it to you," Tish said.
Miley nodded. Tish got up and left the room.
Just a few minutes later, Dr. Leslie came into the room. She started explaining to Miley what diabetes was, and how to handle it. She showed her how to give herself shots, how to check her blood sugar, and she explained what she should eat if her blood sugar got low. Miley took it all in, listening to every word the doctor said. She was going to be ok, and she wasn't going to let it slow her down. She had wanted to be a performer all of her life, and she was finally going to get to go on her own tour. This wasn't going to stop her.
"So Miley, do you have any questions?" Doctor Leslie asked her. Miley told her no.
"Ok, well I want you to get some rest tonight, and if your blood sugar is back to normal tomorrow, you can go home," she said.
"Ok," Miley said. "Thank you."
Dr. Leslie nodded and smiled. After a quick goodnight, she left the room.
