Enjoyy chapter 7

Chapter 7:

A week had passed; John was still in the infirmary because he was still too weak to move. Dan had only had a food tube in John because he was drinking by himself but Dan didn't trust him to eat by himself.

"Now John, I want to discharge you from the infirmary but if I do that means no rescues, no swimming and definitely no exercising." Dan ordered.

"Okay Dan. When can I go back to thunderbird 5?"

"Not yet, Brains and Fermat will be doing rotations with Gordon for a long time until you are better again."

"Oh... okay, I'm sorry for all the trouble i caused."

"That's no problem. Now before I discharge you have you got any pains anywhere?"

"Umm only my ribs but Virgil told me they're broken so I expected that but no other pains."

"Okay then, John I officially discharged you from the infirmary but you have to keep the food tube in!"

"Thanks Dan."

John got up from the bed. He started to wobble but Dan managed to catch him before he fell.

"Looks like i'm going to have to help you walk. Where do you want to go?"

"The pool please."

John sighed and he and Dan left the infirmary and walked outside towards the pool. As they got there John attracted everybody's attention as he hasn't been out for nearly 2 weeks.

"Welcome back John!" Scott said happily.

"Come on son come and sit here." Jeff said smiling at John and Dan.

"Thanks Dad, Dan can I walk the rest?" John asked.

"Of course you can." Dan let go of John and John walked to his dad and fell onto the sun lounger.

"That was worth it. Come on Dan sit with us?" John said happily. Dan walked over and sat next to Jeff on the spare sun lounger.

"Well I haven't seen my boys look this well in ages." Jeff said happily.

"Well i can safely say that things may be getting back to normal." Dan said.

"OWW!" Dan and Jeff looked around to see Scott holding his head in pain.

"Spoke to soon!" Dan said laughing.

John fell asleep on the sun lounger which made Jeff panic because he thought John had collapsed again. John woke up to a commotion around him.

"dad? What's going on?" John asked.

"oh my god. John you scared the hell outta me." Jeff said

"why? What's wrong?" John said looking at his family's concerned faces then at Dans face.

"well, Your breathing suddenly went slow and your heart rate dropped. We thought you had collapsed." Dan said checking John's vitals.

"no just fell asleep. Stop worrying guys."

"okay. Anyway it's time for dinner; Boys go in now we'll help John in." Jeff said.

"um dad I don't want anything." John said.

"John, we're feeding you through this tube. If you refuse I will have to sedate you." Dan ordered.

"okay but can you do it in the infirmary?"

"yes I can it will take 2 minutes." Dan said.

"Dan and I will help you into the infirmary and we'll stay with you until the boys finish then they can look after you until we've finished okay?"

"thanks dad. I'm sorry."

"there's nothing to be sorry for. You can't help being ill."

"but if it wasn't for anorexia and bulimia we wouldn't be here now."

"John you are getting help and that's good we'll be here for you. Come on let's get you into the infirmary."

Jeff and Dan got John up and helped him walk to the infirmary.

John finally made it into the infirmary until his legs collapsed from underneath him. Jeff and Dan managed to catch him before he hit his head.

"come on son, we're here. Can you stand?"

"no i feel so weak."

"John we'll lift you up okay after 3. 1... 2... 3..." Dan instructed. They lifted John onto the bed.

"okay John, i'm gunna start putting food into you. Just stay calm okay."

As Dan started to put food into John, John started to panic.

"John i'm nearly done stay calm okay."

"come on son keep calm breathe deeply."

Dan finished but John was still panicking.

"Dan i feel sick." John said going really pale.

"okay take deeps breaths i'm gunna give you some anti-nausea drug which should help."

As John was about to be sick, Jeff quickly got a bowl and put it in front of him John ended up being sick which made Dan panic.

"i'm so sorry guys." John said

"No problem John but i will have to put a very low sedative in you every meal until you're better."

"no please don't Dad you can't help me please. I will not be sick anymore please dad please. Dan I promise." John started crying. The commotion made the other boys run in.

"dad what's happening?" Scott asked.

"John needs to be sedated every meal time." Jeff replied.

"but why you're tube feeding him?" Virgil said

"unfortunately John was just sick after we fed him so I have no choice. Jeff I need to talk to you later actually."

"oh John please try." Virgil went over John and hugged him.

"I can't Virge. I can't anymore."

"Boys? Can you look after John for a moment I need to have a quick word with your father." Dan said.

Jeff and Dan left the infirmary. John was still in tears but he was being comforted by his brothers.

They entered the office.

"Jeff, I think you should sit down."

"why?"

"please Jeff this is really important and you may hate me for this."

"Dan what's wrong? tell me!"

"I've got in touch with a few people and we all agree that John should be put into a treatment centre."

"no he is not going anywhere."

"Jeff, i'm sorry we can't make him better because of the limited equipment."

"I want the best for him I want him to get better."

"we all do but none of us are specialists in this so we need him to go voluntarily to a treatment centre otherwise he will be sectioned. Jeff i'm so sorry."

"It's okay. We'll take him. He needs to get better I want him to live." Jeff said starting to cry.

"come on we need to tell him."

"let's go then I don't how i'm gunna tell him and the boys I don't want them to hate me."

Jeff and Dan left the office but as they got to the infirmary they heard a commotion from inside. They rushed in to find John holding a scalpel to himself.

"John, you need to calm down." Jeff said.

"no you can't make me eat. Please." John protested.

"John we can. Give me the scalpel please." Dan said.

"John, Dan and I have both agreed we are going to take you to a treatment centre in new York. They can treat you properly there."

"Dad, no you can't, guys you agree with me don't you."

"i'm so sorry John but I agree with dad," Scott said the other boy nodded in agreement.

"I'd rather die than go there." John snapped. Dan walked forward.

"Dan stay back. I'm not going and that's it." John pointed the scalpel at Dan and he backed off. John held it to himself again.

"Please give me the scalpel son" Jeff pleaded.

"no. You're gunna send me away."

"boys leave please. John it's for your own good. We want you to get better" Jeff said. The boys left the infirmary.

"Fine." John got angry and stabbed himself in the stomach.

"JOHN!" Jeff rushed over to John as he fell to the floor.

"John stay awake for me." Dan pleaded. John's eyes started flickering. Then he lost consciousness.
