I'm dedicating this story (and especially this chappie) to Angie (future-rokkstarr)(and Mya too:). They put me their YouTube Fanfic overview. Thank you guys so much!! This is for you!

ANGIE'S POV

I ran into the hospital, reaching the sliding doors in time to see Jase yelling something and then the security guards 'escorting' him out of the hospital. I ran inside, unnoticed by the fuming Jase. I saw the doctor I was looking for and walked up to him. "Hey Dr. Kelly, did that guy just talk to you?" "Yes," he answered wearily. "Funny, cause I sent him to ask you a favor, and there's a really sick kid outside. Male, around 15 years old, a possibility of a minor concussion, low blood sugar, near a coma, coming in and out of conciseness, high fever, seem dehydrated, needs immediate medical attention. You didn't send a stretcher out when he told you that?" I said quickly, relaying all the information he needed to set up a room. "You forgot two things. One, most kids haven't grown up in a hospital. Two, you never told him your name, so I couldn't send anyone out," he said, laughing. I went red before saying, "Can I have some people outside to help?" Dr. Kelly could only laugh as he nodded. I grabbed Mike and Alex, my only friends and volunteers, to help me. We got a stretcher and started to go. Jase was pacing in the doorway until he saw us. We were running then, so I yelled at him to follow us. He was a fast runner, and ended up reaching Shane and Nate before us.

Shane was babbling like an idiot, saying anything and everything that came to his mind. Nate was responding, moving and muttering comments that no one could understand. "Thank you Shane, you've done a great job keeping Nate with us," I said as Mike and Alex picked up Nate gently and placed him the stretcher. Shane nodded as I told Mike and Alex to take him in to Dr. Kelly. I stayed with Shane and Jase in the parking lot. Shane was obviously in shock and Jase was just looked confused, but he was concentrating, looking for the clue that should have told him something was wrong.

"You didn't miss anything," I said suddenly, surprising Jase to say the least.

"What do you mean? And how did you read my mind?" Jase asked me, now very confused. I laughed, "Well, it wasn't that hard to tell what you were thinking. Your brother just went into the hospital for some totally unknown reason. It's natural that you want to know what's wrong. And you're obviously smart, so you're trying to figure out what you missed, where you went wrong, what you could've done to stop all of this from happening."

"How do you know all of that?" Jase asked, wonder in his voice. I smiled sadly as I gathered Shane up into a hug. He looked like he needed it. "I've been there," I informed Jase. With my arm wrapped around Shane's waist, I grabbed Jase's hand, and together the three of us ventured into the hospital to await the news of Nate's fate.

We entered the hospital slowly, a procession of wounded people. "Hey Wanda, what room is Dr. Kelly in?", I asked one of my favorite nurses. "Oh he's in 347 sweetie, you go right on up," she said, conferming that it was ok to bring along Shane and Jase. We walked slowly through the hall until room 347 was in front of us. I walked in first, and saw Nate lying on a bed, with Dr. Kelly shaking his hung head. My eyes welled with tears as I walked out. I motioned for the boys to walk in as I tried to regain my composure. I remembered the last time that he had that look on his face.

Flashback

I was sitting in a hospital bed, feeling like crap. Dr. Kelly walked into the room, a grim look on his face. "I'm sorry sweetie, your parents didn't make it out of the operation room. They died on the table." I didn't really hear him, I was falling into a black hole, my life disapearing before my young eyes. "One more thing, your blood test came back. Your out of remission." He said sadly. I couldn't take any more bad news, I was so hurt, so drenched in pain, so scared, I passed out. But not before I knew that I had a very little chance of recovering from the lukemia that we thought was gone for good.

End Flashback

"Hey, hey! You ok?" Jase asked as he waved his hand in front of my face, pulling me out of sad memories. "Yeah, I'm fine."

"Um, no you aren't. You're crying." Shane pointed out. I wiped my eyes and was suprised to find tears there. Jase opened his arms and pulled me into a hug. He didn't ask for any explanation, he just let me cry. So cry I did.

I pulled away after several minutes, and looked at Jase's shirt. "I'm sorry, I've runied your shirt." "Don't worry about it. I needed to wash this one anyways." Jase said, laughing it off. I gave a watery smile.

"So, are you feeling better?" Shane asked hesitantly. I nodded, then shook my head. "Wanna talk?" Jase asked quietly. I nodded and started talking.

****

"So at two you were diagnosed, at four you went into remission, and at twelve you came out of remission, lost your parents, and found out you had diabetes, and conflicting treatments could kill you." Shane recapped. "Hey, she never said that conflicting treatments could kill her!" Jase said. The borthers started bickering about me being sick, and I slipped back into Nate's room.

"Hey." I said quietly. "Hey yourself." Nate said back. I was suprised, I though he was a goner, or at least asleep. I walked over to the bed and sat down. "So, whats up?" I asked. "Um, diabetes. And a fever, but no biggie." Nate said. I gave him a hug, saying "Oh Nate. I'm so sorry. I know it sucks. I'm a diabetic too." "Really?" he asked, suprised. I laughed. "What, you thought diabetes would stop you from living?"

"Um, actually, yes." Nate said. I laughed again, "Wow, they really don't teach you much in school these days, do they?" "Well, considering I don't really go to school, I'd say not." Nate laughed. "Homeschooled?" I asked. "Uh, yeah. Part of Connect 3, remember?" he asked, knocking my head as he did so. "Oh! I was in doctor mode. I wasn't really listening." I said, now embarssed that I didn't remember that little tidbit. Nate just laughed. "Well, lets start off easy then to help you remember. Hi, I'm Nate Grey. And you are?" "Susanne, but you can call me Angie ," I replied, shaking his hand. "Well then, its nice to meet you Susanne who is called Angie. Now do me a favor and get my bickering brothers inside, will you?" I laughed and grabbed Shane and Jase, who hurried inside, eager to see their little brother.
