All The Way Up
Chapter 5
Miley looks really thin, even sick. Was the first thing Miley read as she went through the comments on Nick's Instagram post while lying in bed that night.
Really? Miley? Thin? She looks so fat. Was the next one she read and she couldn't agree more. In this picture she was between Selena's perfection and freaking Miss Universe Olivia; of course she looked fat, she was fat.
So the next thing she did was get out of her bed and room and made her way to the furthest room in the hall quietly.
She turned the iMac on and opened twitter quickly where she looked up Nick's account and instantly found the picture that had her so disgusted, she saved it up on the computer and next she printed it.
Joe was lying on bed watching some late night show, that would actually entertain him while he fell asleep, when he heard the printer going off. His first reaction was fright; he hadn't heard any steps making their way to the room that was used as an office. He got out of bed and walked carefully to the room next door and as he opened the door he saw the bathroom door close and then someone emptying the contents on their stomach, he was quick to make his way and he knocked softly fully knowing who it was.
"Mile? Mi, you okay?" He asked still knocking on the door, a disgusted look on his face from the sound of his little sister still vomiting. "I'm coming in, Miley." He announced and twisted the knob, but it was locked. The vomiting had stopped now. "Miley, what the hell? Open up!" He exclaimed furiously, he was extremely worried.
He waited a few seconds until she didn't hear her sister anymore and the doorknob was still locked and he didn't know anything about spare keys on the house and their parents weren't home so he ran back to his room picked up the house phone and ran back to the office room and straight to the bathroom door. He knocked again, nothing. So he dialed as fast as he could.
"Hello?" Yes, it was late and they were probably sleeping already but he didn't know who else to call. "Joe, what's wrong?" In a matter of seconds Kevin's voice sounded completely awake.
"Kevin, it's Miley! I think she's passed out in the bathroom" Joe closed his eyes when he felt tears pricking on the corner of his eyes.
"Joe, hey, calm down. Hang up and call 911. We'll be there in 2 minutes." Kevin told Joe and the younger brother could hear movement on Kevin's end of the line.
"Okay." He hung up instantly and called 911 rapidly.
It was probably only 5 minutes the time that took Dani and Kevin to get there but to Joe it was an eternity, Dani had found him sitting outside the bathroom knocking on the door and repeating Miley's name.
"Joe!" Kevin exclaimed out of breath. "Did you call 911?" Joe nodded rapidly.
"They said they were coming." Joe answered with his voice breaking at the end; just as he finished talking sirens were heard outside the Stewart's mansion.
"I'll go open." Dani stood up quickly from her place in the leather chair and rapidly made her way to the main entrance.
Everything happened so quickly in Kevin's eyes, one moment he was helping Joe to his feet and the next he saw a paramedic break the doorknob and the door open to reveal his little sister lying unconsciously on the cold floor.
"We obviously have to take her to the ER and have her checked up, see what caused this." One of the paramedics explained to the guys while another two where lifting Miley in the stretcher.
"I'll go with her on the ambulance and you follow on the car, okay?" Joe told Kevin rushing after Miley and the paramedics.
Kevin flew out the house with his wife hot on his heels, they got inside of their Range Rover quickly and followed the ambulance all the way to the hospital where, when they got out, they found Joe sitting on a plastic blue chair on the waiting room.
"What did they say, Joe?" Dani asked worriedly.
"Whenever they wake her up, they'll let us know. Meanwhile they are running tests to figure out what happened." Joe answered above a whisper and the married couple nodded.
Joe, Kevin and Dani had been sitting on the uncomfortable chairs in the waiting room more than 2 hours and no one had come out to tell them what was happening, which also meant that Miley hadn't woken up.
"Should we call our parents?" Kevin wondered after a whole 2 hours of silence.
"It'll be a good idea." Dani commented, taking out her phone but Joe shook his head instantly. "Why not?" His sister in law wondered.
"It's no use worrying them."
"It's their daughter, Joe. And she's in the ER right now." Kevin exclaimed desperately. Joe shrugged and stood up with his iPhone on his hands.
On the Grey's mansion a cell phone blared loudly throughout it all.
"Can someone, PLEASE, get that?" Selena screamed from her comfortable position on her king-sized bed.
"SORRY!" Demi said, tiredness latching on her voice. "Hello?"
"Dem, I'm sorry I woke you up but…" Demi could hear the vulnerability on her boyfriend's voice.
"Joe! What's wrong?" She turned to see her bedside table and was shocked to see it was only 3:00 a.m, not even 3 hours had passed since they had seen each other.
"Miley. It's…" And Demi was up in a second. "She's in the hospital, we've been here for two hours and they won't tell us anything."
"I'll be there in five minutes, okay? Which hospital?" Demi stood up from her bed, said her goodbyes with Joe and walked to Selena's bedroom. "Selena, wake up!"
"What? Have you seen the time, Demetria? It's 3." Selena whined from her spot on the mattress.
"It's Miley, she's at the hospital. She passed out." That did it, she was up in a second running to her walk-in closet and taking a pair of sweats and her brown pair of short Ugg boots.
"Nicholas, wake up." Demi now stood on the foot of his brother's bed. "Nicholas!" Demi was shaking his shoulder.
"What Demi what?" Nick's voice was husky from the few hours of sleep that he had gotten.
"We need to go to the hospital?" Demi whispered trying to not scare Nick.
"WHAT? Why?" He got up instantly, throwing all the bed sheets away.
"Hmmm... Miley's was rushed to the ER." Demi's voice trembled.
"Oh.." He took a deep breath as to calm down from the fright that Demi had caused on him seconds before. "Did you wake up Lena?" He asked already picking up his jeans from last night's dinner.
"Yes, she's ready to go."
"Okay then, go downstairs with Lena and I'll be there in a second." He instructed his big sister whom seem lost. He then proceed to get a shirt from his perfectly organized walk in closet.
Nick seemed lost in his thought as he made his way downstairs and out to the driveway where the black SUV was waiting for him with his big sister on the passenger sit and his twin spread all along the back seat.
They drove in silence to the Hospital were Nick dropped his sister at the front gate and then took the SUV to the parking lot.
He was quick to walk back into the hospital and, after asking to a few nurses, found a secluded waiting room filled with Joe who was hugging Demi, Selena who just looked super tired and worried sick and of course Dani and Kevin.
"Hi" He muttered quietly.
"You didn't have to come, Nick." Kevin spoke up knowing how much Nick disliked his little sister.
"It's okay." He muttered sitting next to her twin sister. "What happened anyway?" He asked to the elder brother who didn't seem as affected as Joe.
"Joe heard her throwing up on the Office bathroom and then she fainted, I mean we don't know. We have to wait till she wakes up so she can explain herself."
"Maybe she got food poisoning from the sushi." Joe said as an afterthought, which led Nick to shake his head.
"I hope she's okay." Selena exclaimed minutes later.
"Look no one dies of this guys, you've got to calm down." Dani stood up in the middle of the waiting room, hands on her hips and everything.
"She's right. You have nothing to worry about." Nick said from his place on the uncomfortable blue plastic chair.
Those were the last words spoken on the room and minutes later a nurse made her way in. "Can I please have the parents come over to the Dr.'s office." The nurse's voice spoke sweetly and Kevin stood up immediately.
"That might be a little hard right now considering they're out of town." He said nervously making the nurse frown. "But I'm her big brother. Would that help?" He asked hopefully and the nurse nodded.
"Sure. Please follow me." She smiled sweetly and made her way out on to the lonely hallway with Kevin behind.
After a long talk with the doctor attending Miley, Kevin walked back to the waiting room where everyone looked at him expectantly.
"She's up, we should go see her." Kevin said a coldly.
"What's wrong?" Dani asked her husband when all the guys had exit the private room.
"It's nothing, let's go." He said putting an arm around his wife's slim shoulder while they walked to Miley's hospital room.
