AN: I don't own MI High, or anything else you recognise. I just own Demi, Jamie and Patterson.
Demi's POV
I was sat in class when my communicator went off. I looked around at my teammates who didn't seem to be interested. I put up my hand, and Mr Flatley allowed me to go 'to the library'. When I got to HQ, just my dad and Stella were there. "What's going on?" I asked.
"Agent London, please sit down." Stella said. I obeyed, as she looked at my dad, "Do you want to tell her?" My dad shook his head, and Stella sighed. "Demi, a few hours ago, your mother was rushed to hospital in critical condition. She's had an illness for a while, and it seems to be progressing quickly. The way it's going, she'll only last a few more weeks." I looked at my dad, hoping that Stella was lying, and that this was just cover for my latest mission. But his face said it wasn't a lie. My mother was going to die. I stayed silent, looking down. I didn't want to cry, not in front of Stella. "I'm sorry." She said, as I nodded.
"Can I visit her?" I asked, my voice hoarse.
"Of course." Stella said. I got up, running my hand through my hair.
"Thank you." I said. "I'd better get to class."
"Demi?" My dad called, causing me to turn back around.
"Yeah?" I replied, as he hugged me.
"I'm here if you need to talk, OK?" He said. I nodded, and left, breaking down in the cupboard. I know after everything she did, I shouldn't be this upset. But, she's my mother. After a few minutes of crying, I returned to class. Jamie glanced up at me, concern in her eyes. "Dems? What's wrong?" She whispered once I'd sat back down.
"I'll tell you later Jai." I mumbled back. I had to focus on my work, and not fall apart again.
"Demi?" Tom said, once the lesson was over and we'd left the classroom.
"What?" I asked. I really wasn't in the mood to talk to him now.
"Are you OK?" He asked.
"Do I look freaking OK?" I snapped. Tom stayed silent, and I sighed. "Sorry. I had some bad news about my mother." He nodded, and said,
"What, did she escape?"
"No. She's not well. According to Stella, the doctor's reckon she only has few weeks left. If they can't cure it, she's gonna die." I said, feeling my eyes fill up with tears again. Tom sighed, and hugged me. He only pulled away when Jamie strutted over. "I'll see you around." He said, nodding at Jamie before leaving.
"What did I miss?" Jamie asked, leaning against the wall.
"Nothing much Jai. Your pencil's flashing." I said, as she looked down at her pockets.
"So it is. You coming then?" She asked. I shook my head.
"I'm going to see Amy. Will you tell my dad that?" I asked. Jamie nodded.
"Sure." We then parted ways, as I left school. After a short walk to the hospital, the woman at Reception lead me to Amy's room.
"Miss Hudgens! Visitor for you!" The nurse called, gesturing for me to go in. My mother was lying on the bed, pale and sweating.
"Demi? What are you doing here?" She questioned, clutching her forehead.
"Stella said I could visit you." I said, attempting to smile.
"You shouldn't be here! It's dangerous!" She said, looking out the window into the corridor.
"What do you mean? It's fine, no-one here will hurt you." I said, sitting beside her.
"No it isn't! One of the doctors used to work for KORPS! I'm sure of it!" She said, fear in her eyes.
"Mum, you're just being paranoid." I said, as the door opened.
"Miss Hudgens, it's time for your treatment!" The man who had walked through the door said. He locked eyes on me and angrily said, "Who are you? What you doing here?"
"I'm Demi. Miss Hudgens' daughter." I replied, looking at the weird device in his hands. "What's that?"
"This is what we are using to treat your mother's illness. You are not supposed to be in here, now get out!" The doctor demanded. I shook my head and sat back down.
"I'm staying." I said, leaning back in my seat.
"Fine. We'll treat you too then." The doctor coldly said, before activating the device and shooting out a blue ray. The ray surrounded Amy and myself, causing me to drop to my knees in pain. The last thing I remember was reaching out for my phone, before darkness took over.
When I woke back up, the doctor was gone. I forced myself on to my feet and staggered into the corridor. My head was killing me, and these bright lights weren't helping. Despite the receptionist's concerns, I left the hospital and walked back to school. Well, I think it was my school anyway, I have no idea. "Demi!" A loud voice called. Yup, this is my school.
"Sanders, shut up. You can be so loud, you know that?" I said, once I'd noticed that it was Jamie.
"Demi, we've been worried about you."
"Why? I told you I was going to the hospital." I answered.
"Demi, that was 3 hours ago!" Jamie yelled.
"Was it? Who cares Jamie." I said, heading inside.
"What the hell is wrong with you?" She asked, running after me.
"I'll tell you what's wrong, the fact that you won't leave me alone! You're like an annoying puppy, now go away!" I yelled. Jamie looked so hurt.
"Fine." She stated, walking off.
"Finally! She's gone!" I shouted. "Time for me to get some new friends." Hang on, did I seriously just do that? What the hell is wrong with me? Whatever, that doesn't matter. I have to go and make new friends. Jamie doesn't matter anymore.
AN: And I'm going to end it there! So, did you like it? There is a reason that Demi's acting the way she is. What do you think is wrong with her? Anyway, thanks for reading, hope you enjoyed! Please review and let me know if you liked it!
