Together As One
Ch 7
Izz was lying on Carley's room depressed.
He was drowning his sorrows with tubs of Ben and Jerry's ice cream while looking at the photo in his birth medallion.
"Why couldn't I save you guys? I used the Flame to recite the spell. Maybe you're not coming back." He thought as he felt sleepy.
"Maybe a nap would make me feel better." He thought as he fell asleep.
In Cookery Class Carley was making meatballs and pasta along with the pasta Leah was making.
Suddenly her cell phone vibrated in her jean pocket.
"Come on guys! Izz needs help!" Elisa thought as she heard the answer machine come on.
She left a message and hung up.
Later at lunch Carley noticed she had one new voice mail message and listened to it.
"Hey guys it's Elisa. Something's wrong with Izz. He isn't waking up and there's empty ice cream tubs on the bed. I'm worried." It said.
Fear was in her eyes but she couldn't leave but she could go check on Izz.
Leah and the others wondered what was wrong as they watched her take off.
Elisa was worried for her brother but was relieved when Carley came into the room.
She was amazed by how much candy and ice cream Izz had ate.
"I know what's wrong. I'm taking him to a hospital in Aria, okay? He'll be alright, I promise." She reassured Elisa.
She nodded sadly. Her friend had opened a portal to Aria and had went through it. Izz was in her arms.
Leah wondered why there was sadness in Carley's eyes as she joined her in Computer class.
"I'll tell you later, okay?" she said to her. Leah understood as they were researching their own random stuff.
She hoped Izz would be okay. He'd been put in a hospital bed with a catheter in his arm. She had a feeling it hurt him.
Leah saw tears in her friend's eyes as she explained what had happened. Leah felt sorry for her.
She knew Carley was her friend but had a feeling it was more than friendship.
"How do you feel towards me?" Leah asked her softly.
Carley felt her heart race at that. "You make me feel special. You're the only one who treats me as a person, not some disabled freak or monster.
I've been alone until... you came and made things better. In my heart I feel it's love but I know it freaks you out.
I'm like you. No boy has ever wanted to date me and it upsets me seeing others in love and holding hands. I just wish I could feel what it's like to be in Love, true love with somebody who loves you as you are." Carley explained to her as they walked home.
She then went to see Izz. He had woken up. Pain was in his arm.
"What am I doing here?" he asked scared. "Don't you remember? You went into a hypo after eating all that sugar. I was scared when Elisa told me." she answered softly.
"I remember that but why did happen? What's wrong with me?" he said nervously.
She then saw the doctor walk into the hall with her.
"He has a baby Diabetes Beast inside of him but it's the dangerous type, the one that requires needles." he told her.
She looked sad. She knew how that felt. She didn't know how to tell Izz. She knew he'd take it hard the way she had when she'd found out she had Diavetes but hers wasn't serious. She'd learned to take care of it.
She knew it would be harder for Izz.
"Thanks." she replied as she left.
Leah noticed she was upset when she came back.
"How is he?" Leah asked her.
"He's sick, very sick. If he has sugar, he'll die!" she answered her sadly...
