Chapter 8- Rough Day

"Look at all of these kids? How can we wake them up?" my mom asked Lucille, "Maria please, I am not waking one of them up. I can pull some strings and we can leave them just like that." I smiled softly knowing they were not going to make them leave.

I looked over the room to see I was curled up in Troy's arms, Sharpay lying in the chair, Chad and Taylor lying on the little sofa in the corner. I heard a camera snap, somebody took a picture of all of us, "She is loved," my dad said coming up behide my mom. I nodded my head, "Yea she really is and I don't think we can put her through more hell by getting a divorce Dave," he bit down on his pink lips.

"A year," my mom cocked my head, "We will see where we are at in a year and then we can figure everything out." I smiled at Troy's face knowing they were going to try to work it out, "But we can't be living apart or one of us sleeping on the couch. I think she rather us separate than her having to see that. She told me the other day that if we split she wants to be with me." He paused and his green eyes glazed over my mom's brown, "And I was hurt, thinking she might have to pick on of us and it be you? Even when it was me, I was still hurt that she over thought her mom. She loves you and me." I wiped at the corner of my eyes, "I am serious Maria, we can't do that to her also."

"I am just scared she was already thinking about picking, I didn't want that and she doesn't deserve that." My mom said to him, I leaned closer to Troy.

"I know that's not what I was thinking either but we didn't think about Gabi when we fought. We were selfish and that was not fair to her. Maybe she ended up like this because of us, I mean the diabetes yes but she was also under a lot of stress. A lot, from Troy, to not feeling well, to us. She was worrying about us and we weren't thinking like parents, we were thinking about us."

"Dave, I never thought about that. We were selfish and we were not thinking about our daughter, which is probably the first time in a long time that I, havent done that. I mean everything I use to do was worry about her, then Troy came along and I knew she was in safe hands. I stopped; I stopped worrying for ten minutes and look where it leads us Dave! Look! In a hospital room, because I stopped worrying and I never will stop worrying again!" my mom cried hard, I cringed at the way she sobbed and tried to talk all at the same time.

"Shh…Maria it's not your fault, I promise you. Just because you think, you stopped was not going to prevent this, it might have come sooner and not as bad, this is our wake up call from the life we were living. None of us were happy that way, none."

I wiped at the corner of my eyes and I hugged onto Troy. "I love you Troy," I whispered softly into the air, I fell asleep to the soft sounds of my mom's sobs and the touch of the cold tears on my cheek.

"Shit, I can't find a finger," I groaned and tried to roll over but Troy was right there. My hands were curled up in my lap, "Gabi honey," I blinked my eyes a few times and looked up to see Carter standing above me.

"Carter I thought you weren't coming back until tomorrow?" I asked him, he smiled, "It is tomorrow and I need a finger, it seems to be hidden from me." He said grinned, "Not by mistake either," I joked, he laughed and shook his head, "Come on hand it over,"

I pulled on of my hands out and gave it to him, "You mean that I slept through the entire night? Not waking up once when they checked my blood sugar?" I asked him, he cleaned my finger off and nodded his head, "They had trouble finding your hand a few times but yeah you didn't stir. They said your bf here was up with you twice but I don't think you were actually awake since you don't remember it."

"Oh really?" I teased, "Ready?" he asked me, I nodded my head and tried to suspense a yawn, "1…2…3" he said and then poked it hard. I cringed and tried to hide the tears that were ready to spill down my face. "Don't worry; once you start doing this more often it won't be as bad. I promise you, because your fingers toughen up." He said to me, I nodded my head and I looked at Troy slumber face. He looked so peaceful and happy.

"198, still a little high but better than last night. I am glad we did not have to go the shot route last night, but it will come soon. I think after your last meal today you will have your first injection." I cringed at the word injection, "Please tell me it wont hurt," I said to him, "Cant make any promises on that one baby doll," I looked at him, "But I will be in your classes on Thursday so that's something to look forward to right?" I smiled a little and looked at him, "When do those start?" I whispered to him

"Around nine Thursday morning, you'll go till about noon then you come back and eat. You go back until three and then you are done for the day." He said cleaning up his mess, I nodded my head, "So today I have the day off and tomorrow we have that whole doctor meeting thing tomorrow."

"Yea I think some doctors are going to stroll through this morning and do rounds with you, so you'll see them come in and ask you questions. They will ask inters to report your case and they have to figure everything out." He said snapping his gloves off, "Okay,"

"I can't believe they let these kids stay all night," he said pointing around, I yawned, "My boyfriends mom works here," I mumbled softly.

"Ahh, that's a good way to get things you want."

"Are you guys going to make me eat today?" I asked him, "Yup, something for breakfast, lunch, and dinner so you will have your first injection at breakfast, my mistake." I looked at him desperately, "You don't have to do them today but you will have to do them before you leave." I shook my head, "No, no, no…" I whispered, Troy began to stir and Carter nodded his head, "You'll be fine, I promise." He then took all of his stuff and headed out.

"I'll come back later to do your vitals, since you are a little tangled," he said winking, I nodded my head, "Alright," I said, he walked out and Troy began to groan.

"Hey sleepyhead," I whispered, he opened his eyes and began to blink several times. "How long have you been awake?" he asked me, he closed his eyes and kissed my forehead. "Ten minutes, Carter came in and he couldn't find a hand. I was hiding it from him," I said winking at him, "He shouldn't have woken you up," he said to me, "No, I woke up Troy. He pretty much was trying to be quiet but I could not sleep any more. I just have so much on my mind and I…"

"Shh…calm down." He stroked my hair, "It's alright Brie," he whispered, I felt the tears pass my cheeks and hit my hand. "It's all just so much in a day, I don't know if I could handle any more. Carter is telling me when I have breakfast that I will have to take a shot and I hate shots Troy. I cry like a big baby and I don't stop for like an hour, I have always hated shots." I cried, I rocked back and forth but Troy kept me still. I cried in his arms and he kept kissing my temple or forehead.

"I am here for you Brie, I am here for you." He whispered quietly, I hugged onto him a little tighter and we held each other. We held each other for a long time.

"Good Morning Kids!" Lucille said walking into the hospital room, none of us moved. She came over to my bed and peered down to see both Troy and I awake. "Hey guys," she said, I did not move and Troy only shifted his shoulders.

"Seems I am getting the silence treatment," Lucille said over her shoulder, "Oh really?" my dad said, Lucille smiled and walked around to wake the others.

"Gabs," my dad said I looked up towards the ceiling to see him standing there. "We brought back Burger King and McDonalds for everybody else but they need you to order some food." He said pushing back some hair, "I don't want to eat," I pouted, Troy sat up a little at the word of food. "Brie, you need to eat something," Troy said, I glanced over to see my mom talking to Jack, Lucille trying to wake Sharpay up. "Troy, I don't want a shot," I mumbled softly, "Baby, you are going to have a shot either way. You need to eat something and get the first one over with."

"It's going to hurt," I cried, Troy sighed softly and started rubbing my back. "Brie, I promise I am here. I am not going anywhere and you have me to focus on. Don't worry about a little pinch," he said, I took a deep breath trying to control the tears there were ready to fall down my face. "Please don't cry because every time you cry it breaks me." Troy said into my ear, I hiccupped and tried to keep the tears from letting loose.

"Promise me you won't leave," I said to him, his eyes softened, "I promise you, I am not going anywhere." He said kissing on my cheek. I took a deep breath and I blinked my eyes several times.

"Moommm…go awayy," Chad moaned, Lucille laughed, so did all the other adults in the room. Sharpay shook her head from where she was sitting. Taylor let her hand sit on her face while she groaned, I looked at Troy was laughing. I smiled and I snuggled into his chest.

"Gabi do you want French toast or do you want eggs?" my dad asked me, I shrugged my shoulders, "Gabs," my dad warned, "I don't know Dad," I said to him, he was a bit taken back by my words. "Gab…"

"Dave," my mom said to him, he nodded his head and then looked at Troy. "Don't even start Troy," I said to him, "You need to eat Gabi and I can't help but ask you what you want."

"I don't know,"

"Go for the French toast," Sharpay mumbled, I shrugged my shoulders, "If they arent any good then you get to eat them Ms. Evens." I mumbled, "Whatever," she said

I looked at Troy and he nodded, "French Toast it is!" he said, I sat up in the bed and so did Troy, "That has to be the worlds smallest bed." Troy said, I crawled onto his lap and pressed his lips against my shoulder blade. "I love you," he mumbled

"I love you too," I said to him, he grinned, and stuck his hand over in the Burger Kind bag. "What is in here," he said fishing around, "Troy I got you four breakfast burritos from McDonalds with an Orange Drink," Troy eyes lit up, "Yum,"

"Oh, can I have a drink,"

"Have a drink of what?" Eric asked as he came in the room, I sighed and knew it was time to pee and do vitals, "Gabi your ketones which will be explained later are still larger, that is not good. So I need you drinking plenty of water,"

"Can I have an Orange drink from McDonalds?" I asked him, his eyes about popped out of his, "You do need a lot of learning, no liquid sugar." My mouth dropped, "No Dr. Pepper, no juice? No Orange drink?" I cried, Eric bit down on his lip, "Gabi, I," I felt my bottom lip quiver, "Awh, man," Troy said, he dropped his breakfast burrito and hugged on me a little tighter, tears dripped down my cheeks, "Hey, hey" Troy said as my sobs grew, "I won't have any either okay?" I looked up at him, his eyes pleading.

"Really?" I asked him, a hiccup escaping my mouth

"Just for you,"

"Sweet, that means I can have this," Chad said stealing the drink, Troy sighed and grabbed a cup of water off the tray. I smiled and kissed his shoulder, "I really do love you,"

"Anything for you my darling," he joked, I rolled my eyes and Eric looked at me, "Vitals?" I sighed and I got out of bed, "Thank you," he said, I wobbled on my feet and Troy grabbed my waist, "Steady now," he said, I turned to look at him. "Very funny now,"

He shrugged his shoulders and let go of my waist, I havent walked in like two days. I stepped onto the scale and he weighed me, he nodded his head and I sat back down on the bed. He took my blood pressure, temperature, and told me to go to the bathroom."

"Ah, come on do I really have to go to the bathroom?" I whined, he nodded his head, "Your ketones were high Gabs, you need to go to the bathroom to see if they are making any progress." He said, I sighed and walked off to the bathroom. I kicked Chad's shin as I walked by, the group roared in laughter.

"Gabs is back," Sharpay said smiling, I walked into the bathroom, grabbed the cup waiting for me, and did what I had to do.

Once I was down, I washed my hands and set the cup back on the counter. "There you go," I said exiting the bathroom; I quickly made my way over to the bed and cuddled next to Troy. "Alright, so lets talk about the shots," I tensed and Troy stroked my arm, "Since you are have French toast which is 45 crabs so that means you would have 3 units of insulin. Now, here is the question of the day, do you want syrup?" I shook my head, "Not if it means more shots,"

He shook his head, "No extra shots, and its just more insulin." I again shook my head no; Troy rubbed his thumb across my back. "Alright, that's cool. Any fruit?"

"Do you have strawberries?" I questioned, "Mhm,"

"I will totally have some of those," Troy laughed kissing my forehead, "That's 15 more carbs so that will be 4 units of insulin." I took a deep breath as he pulled out a small vial, probably as big as my thumb and then a syringe followed. I ducked my head into Troy's shoulder while he wrapped his arms around my shoulders. "Gabi, I can promise you it has to be one of the smallest needles I have." Eric said, I shook my head and I felt my mom's hand on my back.

"Gabi honey you are going to have to do it sometime." She said, "I will be right here Brie," I didn't move but only nodded my head, "Alright," I mumbled

"Can we do this in the back of your arm or in your stomach?" Eric asked I did not really have any clothes on so I was going for the arm. "Arm," I said quietly, I sat up and Troy leaned forward kissing my lips. I felt a cold swipe then a pinch, I pulled back from Troy quickly but he held me still. I then felt Eric pull the needle out. "All done," he said, my arm stung and I fell into Troy. "It will be okay Brie,"

I did not say anything, I was done crying, I just laid there motionless.

"I will see you guys as soon as I get out of the hospital," I told the gang which was leaving for the day. It was just a little after noon and they were all requested to go home. Troy though was right by my side, after I had my shot I did not talk to anybody for a good twenty minutes, the length that it took my food to come.

I only ate half my food, which did not make Carter or Eric happy with me. "Alright Gabs I hope you start feeling better." Taylor said wiping at her eyes. I gave her one more hug and held on tight. "Tay lets go," Chad called; I flipped Chad off, Sharpay busted out into laughter.

"Hey, hey lets not be naughty now." Troy said, I let go of Taylor and they all made there way out of the door. "So what are we going to do now?" I shrugged my shoulders, "I don't know Troy."

"Knock Knock," I turned to see Eric walking in, I groaned, "I am already getting those? Damn, thought you were going to be different."

"I was finally getting over the last one," I told him, Troy slipped out of the bed and I looked at him. "I'm going to the bathroom. I will be right back." He said kissing my forehead. He had on a pair of blue basketball shorts with a white Nike shirt. Once the door closed, Eric looked at me, "He loves you," I sighed, "I know."

"You love him too which is good" He pulled out his meter and I handed over my hand, "I have not seen this from him in a long time,"

"What do you mean?" I heard the toilet flush and I looked up at Eric who poked my finger, "We were on the rocks, heading for breakup village until this." I said, the door handle moved, "Well I guess everything happens for a reason." He said, "I am so gross, I need to shower."

I chewed on my lip, "Troy you can go home and shower if you want to." I said to him, he shook his head, "I am not leaving but you do not mind if I take a really fast shower here? My mom brought up some clothes for me." I nodded my head, "Go right ahead." I said smiling, "Ah! Finally!" Eric said, I turned to look at him as Troy raised an eyebrow, "121, perfect." Grinning, "Amazing." Troy said from behide me, I giggled and my parents walked into the room.

"Whats with all the smiles?" my mom asked going to sit at the end of my bed, "Her blood sugar is perfectly normal, now once Troy over there takes a shower and she drinks more water I am going to have her check ketones. If they come back small or negative you don't have to anymore." I lay back on the pillow and looked down at my clothes, "Can I change?" I asked him, "Uhm," he looked over his shoulder, "I do not see why not but you have to be careful of your IV which you are probably done using." He commented, "But we are going to keep it in just in case." I nodded my head, "So I will just unhook you for now and when you are done changing just have somebody come and get me." Eric said, we all nodded and I looked at my mom.

"Do you have a pair of my yoga pants?" she nodded her head and she brought them over. I pulled back the blanket on the bed and I started to slip them over my feet. I lay in bed getting dressed, then she handed over my volleyball t-shirt. I had a sports bra on so it was all good. I quickly ripped the hospital gown and replaced it with my shirt.

I fixed my ratted hair into a messy bun followed by a thick black headband. I smiled and felt fresh, "I am going to go get Eric,"

"Can I walk with you mom? I feel so cooped up in this room." I told her, she smiled, "You are looking so much better baby," she said hugging me closer. "Where is daddy at?" I asked her, "Downstairs eating a little something. Lucille called telling us they were bring Troy some food but I told them we could just pay his way through the cafeteria." I stood up from the bed and felt a little dizzy but I grabbed my mom's hand. "Are you okay?" she asked, "Just haven't been upright like this in a long time," I said as I shuffled out of the room.

We walked up to the nurse's station where Eric was standing, "Hey you are out of bed, making some big improvements today." He said he walked from behide the counter coming towards me.

"Well I am sick of that room," I said following him back to the room, "I know how you feel, try being in this hospital all week all year."

"Yea but you are not cooped in a little room; you have the whole hospital to roam."

"True," we got back into the room and I sat back down on the bed, Eric hooked the IV back up then to stop, looking at me, "Wait you need to go to the bathroom still so we will wait till after that."

As on cue Troy walked out of the bathroom, his backpack slung over his shoulder. "Hey," he looked over me, "you changed!" I nodded my head, "Yup, I changed clothes, brushed my hair. Next is my teeth and going to the bathroom, which shockingly enough, I have to go." I stood back up; I went over to Troy and gave him a hug standing up. "Thank you." I told him, "For what?" he asked hugging me back.

"For being there when I needed you most." He was going to protest but I put my finger to his lips, "Shush," I whispered, "You were here." He smiled softly and he kissed my forehead, "Go to the bathroom." He said smacking my butt, I glared at him and he grinned.

After using the bathroom and brushing my teeth I came out, I looked over the room to see another thing of balloons sitting in the corner. I looked at Troy who was sitting in the chair in front of the TV his cell phone close to his face. "Done," I said brushing my hands. I crawled back into my bed, feeling sluggish and tired already. I yawned, "That wore you out fast, so you are restricted to bed for the rest of the day." I yawned and nodded, "I have family coming later right mom?" she nodded her head, "Yea,"

"Well as along as you take it easy okay? I am done for the day so Ashley is going to take over, I will be back tomorrow afternoon." He said, I nodded and waved goodbye to him. Troy tossed his phone onto the table; he got up coming over to me. "So if I went downstairs to get food you would?"

"You do not have to ask me Troy," I let my hand fall onto his shoulder he smiled kissing my forehead. "I will be back in a few minutes alright?" I nodded my head, watching him walk out of the room I let my eyes slowly fall to a close.

"So you officially got your second shot?" I stabbed at the food in front of me; a salad, which I was hoping, was not many carbs. "Yea well."

Troy shook his head and I finished the last of my salad, "If you are going to have to take a shot, I would pack on the carbs so I would not have to take another one later."

"More carbs the longer the needle is in my skin," I muttered

"Not really," I looked at Troy, yawning in the process. "You are tired," I nodded my head; I looked at the clock to see it flicker to past two. Everybody was coming after school got out. I went to a different school then all the rest of my cousins; they all went back to school today, while I was supposed to go back tomorrow.

"Hey baby girl," my dad said walking into the room, I smiled at him pushing the rest of my salad away. Troy picked it up tossing it into the trashcan. I rested my head on Troy's shoulder, his hands folding into mine. I let my eyes rest, after about ten minutes an Ashley, my nurse, came into the room.

"Hey, we finally got your ketone test back which came back small. That's very good," she said unhooking the IV machine. "Now we just want you drinking a lot of water okay?" I nodded my head and I did not move from where I was. "Alright, I will be back soon to check your blood sugar okay?"

"Okay,"

Once she left I was left in a silent room, Troy was rubbing my thumb with his finger. After another long silent ten minutes, a disruptive noise was heard. "God, you are lazy." My eyes popped out of my head and my head spun around to see my older brother standing in the doorway.

"Oh my God!" I cried jumping out of the hospital bed; I went racing into his arms. He picked me up swinging me around gently. I took in his scent of aftershave and mint. "I did not know you were going to be here!" I said hugging him tighter, "Yea well I did not expect to be here in a hospital with my little sis," he hugged me a little tighter before setting me back down. I was a little dizzy but made it back to the bed.

"Bolton," Anthony said, "Montez,"

It was a brother, boyfriend thing. Anthony did not really like Troy but Troy was always trying to make peace. I folded my hand within Troy's while Anthony took a seat next to me. "So how you doing?" he asked me, "Okay, for what I am going through." I said, "I did a little this morning but now I am like crazy tired," I said yawning, "You should sleep," he commented

"I have been until they made me eat which was another shot," I let my head fall onto Troy's shoulder. My eyes shifting to a close, "How did you get out of baseball?" I asked him, my eyes closing.

"Coach understood I just have to be back by Sunday." He said I opened one eye to see him glaring at Troy. "Anthony," I growled, "Sorry," he mumbled, Troy kissed my lips just to rub it in a little farther. "Troy," I mumbled, "Sorry couldn't control myself on that one."

I shook my head, my parents both chuckling.

"Is she sleeping?" I groaned softly and I flipped over to see Troy is sleeping face. I smiled as I felt his hand on my waist, "Yea her and Troy fell asleep about two hours ago." Anthony mumbled, "Why do you not like him?" Courtney questioned, "Because that is my little sister that is her first real boyfriend. They look too serious."

"Oh leave them alone, they are the dream couple over at North."

"What the hell is a dream couple?" Anthony asked, "What everybody wants to be until recently, rumors were that they hit a bad spot. Fights and what not."

"I can vogue for that," my dad piped in, "They did hit a rough spot but they are doing better so do not think about it Anthony," my dad warned. I gripped Troy tighter not wanting to get up.

"Hey everybody," I heard my Aunt Kelly walk into the room, "Hi," the room repeated, "So how long has she been sleeping?" my cousin Kylie asked, "About two hours, which she needs. She tried to do some stuff earlier today, add in the shots and everything today she was drained." My mom said, I yawned and I gently shook Troy awake without anybody noticing. "Hm?" he questioned

"Hey," I whispered quietly, he flashed his bright blue eyes yawning, my family chattered around us. "Your family is here," he whispered, his palms resting on my back.

"I know but I wanted you awake before I had to face them." He smiled; he brought his hand up to my face brushing my hair out of my face. I grabbed his hand but I was spotted, "Sleepyhead is awake," my dad said, I smiled before flipping over to face my family. Kylie, Madison, Baliee, Courtney, Sam, Anthony, Aunt Cindy, Aunt Kelly, and Uncle Bruce all standing in my room. Flowers surrounding my area. "Hi," I said waving, "I am glad to see you awake," my Uncle Bruce joked

"How are you feeling?" Courtney came out and asked, "Better now that I got a little sleep, do you know what time it is?" I asked the group starting to sit up some more.

"Five." Madison said, I smiled at her and I looked at my parents, "Do I have to eat dinner tonight?" I asked, "You can have a small something after everybody leaves later," I groaned and I looked around the room, "Guys you arent allowed to leave," the group laughed and I found Troys hand.

"UNO!" I screamed, the parents shushed me but I got excited, the group around me laughed as we played Uno for the second hour in a row. People stood around my bed as we played, Troy stayed next to me trying to cheat but I kept kicking his shin when he did.

Anthony even decided to play with us, my cousins Haley and Ryan both showed up. My Uncle Mike came with them and my Uncle Dave showed up from work. All the adults were in the corner talking about diabetes, what my parents knew, and what we were going to do.

We played around and when it came back to me, I dropped my red card on top of the pile, "I won!" I said, the group laughed as we put the cards back in. It was past eight and everybody was having to go to school tomorrow. "Come on guys we need to go," My uncle Mike said, Haley and Ryan both groaned and put there cards in the deck. "Thanks for coming guys," I offered, another yawn slipping from my mouth. "Yup same from you Anderson girls," Sam and Courtney looked at my Aunt Cindy, "Alright," they both said, Sam was in her second year of college while Courtney was my age.

"Courtney set up a day to hang out?" I asked her, she nodded her head, "Hell ya," she covered her mouth, "I mean heck," she smiled at her parents. I giggled and she walked out of the shamefully, "Bye," Madison said walking by the bed, she was the second youngest cousin; she was thirteen while Haley was 12.

"Bye babe," I said tickling her stomach; she giggled walking out Baliee who was in the ninth grade said bye before leaving. "Feel better honey," my aunt Kelly said, I gave her a hug and gave a high five to my uncle Dave.

"Thank you all for coming!" I yelled after them, they all waved goodbye and I was left with Anthony, my parents, and of course Troy. "Troy are your parents letting you stay home?" Troy nodded his head, "Yup, I was supposed to be out of town until Sunday anyway."

"They are saying that's when Gabi is going to get out of the hospital but we are going to keep her home Monday but we would like you to go to school." My mom said, "Mom," I whined, "Honey,"

"No my parents said I have to go to school babe," he said planting his lips on my forehead, I yawned again, "Can I go to bed?" I asked

"You did not eat dinner," Ashley said walking into the room, "Ashley, I am so tired,"

"Can she just eat some crackers and take a shot?" my mom asked, "We arent going to make her eat unless she is low but tomorrow you have to eat three meals okay?" I nodded my head; she came over to do my blood sugar. I gave her my hand and she did everything so fast.

It beeped, "I32, perfect. I do not think I want you to eat anyways." She joked, I giggled and she then brought out another shot. "But I do have something else for you." She pulled out a needle full of insulin. "I thought I had a perfect blood sugar?" I asked her, "You do but if you don't take this you wont for much longer, you need long term insulin. Something that will last you all day."

I looked wary at her, "So I have to have this shot daily?" I asked her, she nodded her head, "Not for today we are just going to do it in the thigh but you should do it in your butt." She said I looked at her as if she was weird.

"Huh?" Troy laughed from behide me and I smacked his chest, "ouch." He mumbled, "But tonight just in the thighs. It had been a rough day so we will go easy." She said I looked down at my sweatpants; I either had to roll them way up or pulled them down to show off my spandex. "Alright," she pointed to a spot on my thigh and I pulled my sweats back. I felt Troy leaning over my shoulder, "Do not get your hopes up back there, I have spandex on." I said pushing him backwards, "Damn," he muttered, I laughed.

When I showed her the spot and she quickly wiped it, put it the needle close and stuck it in. I was not going to lie. It stung. I bit my lip as she pushed the insulin through, tears brushing the back of my eyes. Troy rubbed my back and when she pulled the needle out a little blood followed. She wiped it off with the wipe and she looked at me. "Alright you are good for the night," she picked up everything and took off her glove.

I buried my head into Troy's shoulder, his hand on the back of my head. "Shh…go to bed. It's been a rough day baby," he whispered, I only nodded my head.

"Shh…" he whispered again, "I love you," he whispered into my ear. I nodded my head, "I love you too,"

Troy and Ashley were both right, it had been a long, rough day.
