So I feel like I have been procrastinating with the end of this story which is the one part people get into, especially after the last chapter's ending. So I'm going to give you what you want.
My heart stopped in my chest and I just stared at my friends for a while, not believing what I heard. How could I have diabetes? No one in my family has it! I sat up more in my bed, eliciting a creak from the old mattress. I took a shaky breath and ducked my head down towards my legs, not wanting my friends to see me cry. One thing was for sure, I was fighting back the tears that were blinding my eyes. Charlie spoke up and brought me back to the reality of it all. "It's not as bad as it seems, Wen. My granddad had it for many years."
"The doctor will explain more about it but we're all here for you Wen, no matter what." Stella said, placing a hand on mine, which was currently shaking. I allowed myself to look back up at the people surrounding my bed, people who cared so much about me. I let the tears fall from my eyes and I wiped them away with my free hand. Olivia, closest to my right, bent down and gave me a hug, which soon turned into everyone practically strangling me in their arms.
Sydney walked back into the room just as we all let go of each other with a doctor in tow. His graying hair and wrinkles told me he was old, but too old. He still had a youthful smile and had a strong look on his face. He reached out his hand for mine and shook it, smiling. I returned the gesture and settled back into my bed, already feeling tired from the five minutes I was awake. "Hello there, Wen. I'm doctor Patallamose, but you may call me doctor P. How are you feeling?"
"Really tired and weak. I feel like I haven't slept in days but I know that I've been out for a while." I answered. I took a shaky breath and began to speak again. "My friends have already told me what I have, so if you don't mind doing so, I kind of just want to get to the point of how I manage all of this. I feel like I know nothing." I shrugged my shoulders while saying the last bit of my sentence. Doctor P. looked at me in shock at first, but his face softened and he chuckled.
"I like you, Wen. I think we're going to have fun these next few days." My face obviously twisted into horror at the prospect of staying in the hospital. Seeing this, Doctor P. explained to me that I needed to learn how to control my blood sugar. I needed to know how to take my blood sugar levels every day numerous times. Right now, my levels were too low. It can make someone feel tired and dizzy.
He talked more about what I was going to have to change in my diet and how different it can be. But I sat there and took in every word. So did everyone else, seeing as how we were going on tour and they were going to help me out. If I was incapable of doing anything, they wanted to make sure they would be able to. I smiled to myself and thought of my friends. I don't know how I ever survived before Lemonade Mouth. But I knew I was going to survive this, guaranteed.
So guys that is probably the second to last chapter. I think tomorrow is going to be the last one in this story but there'll be plenty more in Deal With It. So don't cry! Be happy that another story is coming your way! (:
