Chapter 3: A Serious Scare
Cameron was sitting in the waiting room of the emergency room, his head in his hands. "Where is she?" asked a voice. Cameron looked up and saw Yasmin's mother, stepfather, and stepsisters. "She's getting a blood transfusion right now." Cameron answered. Elena went and saw beside Cameron. She put her arm around him and said, "It's okay son. You did a good thing. I just don't understand why she's so unhappy." Cameron shrugged. The Bratz girls walked through the emergency room doors, all with tears in their eyes. "Where is she?" Jade asked, her voice cracking. "Getting a blood transfusion." Cameron answered. Cloe and Sasha's eyes widened in shock. "Wait," Joey said. "Blood from who?" Just when Cameron was about to answer, Enrique, Lisa, and Lisa's daughter Jessica, came around the corner. "Him." Cameron answered. "Enrique." Elena said standing up. Enrique hugged Elena and explained, "I gave blood. I had to save my baby." "Have you heard anything?" Elena asked after they let go. "No," Enrique answered. "I can't take this. I gotta know what's wrong. Why is she so unhappy?" "Because of what happened." Sasha spoke up. "Sasha," Elena said. "Honey, what are you talking about." "She was pissed when you cheated on Enrique," Sasha explained. "It was that. Then it was when Joey and his kids moved in. Then it was something else, and then it was when you guys went off to the Phoenix and left her by herself for a weekend." "Oh." Elena said quietly. "She was suffering," Cloe said. "So she cut herself to feel the pain." "And you girls didn't say anything?" Elena asked. "We didn't know all along," Jade defended the girls. "We didn't find out until last week." Elena felt the tears coming. Joey got up and hugged her tight. "Enrique Montes?" asked the nurse. "That's me," Enrique spoke up. "This is Yasmin's mother Elena." Elena shook the nurse's hand. "You're daughter's gonna be just fine," the nurse explained. "She had just woke up when I was about to leave out, so she told me to say this. She just wants to see her dad, not her mother." Elena closed her eyes and let the tears flow. "Thank you," Enrique said. "Can I see her?" "Sure." the nurse said. "Come on Lisa," Enrique said as he took his girlfriend's hand. "Come on Jess." They went off down the hall and into Yasmin's room. When they walked in, Yasmin was watching a show on the TV. She saw her dad and said, "Daddy. And Lisa and Jessica" "Hi baby," Enrique said as he kissed her forhead. "You scared me. Don't ever do that again." Yasmin closed her eyes and tried not to cry. "Daddy," she said. "I'm so sorry. It's just, with you and mom splitting up, then her acting like I don't even exist anymore. It's just, crazy." The tears fell and she wiped them away. Lisa reached out and took her hand. "Yasmin," she said in a calm voice. "We're here. We don't act like that do we?" "Of course not," Yasmin answered. "You guys actually love me." "Your mom does too." Enrique said. "Nice way of showing it." Yasmin raised her voice a little. She looked down at her arm that had an IV in it. "I hate needles." she said. "Yasmin," Enrique said. "All jokes aside. Why didn't you say?" "I feel like I'm stuck in the middle dad," Yasmin said. "I mean, you went off and started a new family, and mom did too. I was stuck and isolated. And she didn't even realize that I existed." Just when her dad was about to say something, the nurse walked in and said, "Yasmin, a girl named Marissa is here to see you." "I don't wanna see her," Yasmin said. "She's the reason I started. As a matter of fact, send her in just so I can say that." The nurse left and soon, Marissa walked in. "What's up chica?" she asked. "Marissa," Yasmin said. "We can't be friends. You're part of the reason I started cutting myself." Marissa's eyes widened in shock. Soon, she said, "I understand. Later." She left out and Yasmin said, "That felt good to say that." They all laughed and Enrique stood up. "We'll let you get some sleep honey. Night." "Night." Yasmin said. Enrique kissed his daughter's forhead and Lisa and Jessica waved. They all left out, and Yasmin soon drifted off into a deep sleep.
3 Days Later
Yasmin was now back at home and up moving around. The doctor told her that if she started to feel bad, tell her mom. However, even after talking to a counselor in the hospital, Yasmin was still very depressed. She wasn't eating like normal, and was in the bathroom throwing up anything that she ate every night. She didn't wanna face the fact that she might be bulimic, but the way she was making herself throw up, it looked like it. There was a soft knock at the door. "Come in." Yasmin said as she lay accross her bed. The door opened and Megan came in with a tray of food. "Here's your dinner Yasmin." she said. She put the tray on Yasmin's empty desk. "Thanks." Yasmin said. Megan left out and Yasmin closed the door. She ate and as soon as she was sure everyone would be downstairs for a while, she ran to the bathroom, closed the door, and made herself sick. After throwing up just about all of her food, she got up, cleaned her face, changed clothes, and went to her room. She didn't feel that bad, just a little. It was more like, the aftertaste of vomit.(I know it's gross, LOL) "Oh my gosh," she said as she lay back on her bed. "I seriously think I'm bulimic." She soon turned over, and went to sleep.
