Chapter 10
When we got downstairs Harry was staring up at me. "Replaced me have you. Fine I can replace you to, Dougie get on my back". Wow my brother really isn't normal. "Well can you blame me, I mean Tom is just so cuddly. Plus you have no single dimple that I can poke". While I was talking Dougie had managed to get onto Harry's back with difficulty and a few shoves from Danny for help. "I feel left out now" awww poor Danny I know I'll give him a hug. "Tom can I get down please". He looked quizzical but let me down none the less. As soon as my feet touched the ground I ran up to Danny and gave him a big hug. "Awww don't feel left out Danny we love you too". I didn't expect to get the answer I did from the rest of the guys "speak for yourself!" That wasn't very nice but I knew it wasn't true. "Can we got to the shop now. It feels weird being on Harry's back". Oh yeah I had forgot about Dougie although I don't know how. "Ok everyone out to the car" Tom really was like the mum of the band. "Can I get a window seat this time please".
"Yeah sure I'll sit in the middle" aww that deserved Dougie a hug. "Ok no need to strangle me" I didn't think my hugs were that tight. "As I told these two Dougs you'll have to get used to her". I'm not that bad Harry makes me out to be the lock ness monster. Now that would be fun except for having to hide all the time from people wanting to see me, ok maybe not so fun... I came out of my day dream about Nessie to here Dougie say "I don't think that'll be that hard" and then give me a funny look.
When we finally got to the shop Harry ran of to get a trolley with one of those seat things. "Oh there's no way your getting me in that!" I mean I don't think I would fit to be honest but then again I'm the size of a 8 year old. "It's not for you it's for Dougie, but now you mention it it might stop you from getting lost while we're here". Ok it would be funny to see Dougie sat in there not that he would fit. "Ok if you don't want me to get lost ill sit in the actual trolley" it looked like fun to be honest. "Ok in you get then" and with that Harry picked me up as if I was a doll and plonked me in the trolley. So of we went for what I thought would be a normal shopping trip, so far it hasn't been. "So what do we need to get". Mummy Tom asked, ha that should be his new nickname. "Well everything really mate"
"Way to state the obvious Danny". Hey I was going to say that Dougie. "Well how about we start with the basics like bread and milk and stuff". Yep that sounds good but wait whys Harry looking at the bread so intensely."Choc can't eat this guys" well that doesn't make sense I eat bread all the time."why not Harry?" Awww mummy Tom is so curious. "Its got gluten in, mum knew we would have to buy special food so gave me some extra money".
"So what can she eat" I am here Danny. "We'll show you to the free from isle". Yay Harry remembered and I didn't get I'll. "Harry your a really good brother you know I would never have thought to check ingredients". Hmm I don't honk any of the guys would have but they haven't had to do it for most of my life for me. "Harry, you know your the best brother I could have asked for." It was true. "Aww you know I think the same about you Choc even when.." Harry cut himself off before he could say before I was his actual sister. He knew that I didn't like talking about that. "Ok that's enough of the mushy ness lets get some food". Wow Danny's so sensitive. Not.
When we finally got back from shopping with a few problems in the shop. Like Dougie looking at magazines which I wasn't allowed to see and Danny tipping over half the pastawh isle when trying to ride the trolley like a scooter. I also got stuck in the trolley well I say stuck I mean buried underfoot because everyone forgot I was in there. So when we finally got shopping and were back at the house I was half asleep with my eyes closed when we pulled up. Which woke me up but I kept my eyes closed. Which over the years of going shopping with mum and dad I figured was the be thing to do because I didn't have to help bring shopping in and Harry usually ended up carrying me inside. "Aww look how sweet she is when she's asleep" sometimes I think Tom's a girl. "Yeah she always ends up sleeping when we come back from shopping" I wonder why Harry hasn't figured it out yet . Or maybe he has but carries me anyway, nah he probably hasn't. As Harry picked me up I opened my eyes to see that he had put me so my head was resting in his shoulder. This meant that I could see that Tom and Danny had gone in ahead of us but Dougie had stayed to shut the car door and lock it. When he saw my eyes open he raised his eyebrows at me. One of my arms was dangling on Harry's back so I lifted it up and made a shushing motion to Dougie to which he winked letting me know it would be our secret. It was then that I knew I would be close to Dougie. As we got in the door I yawned and stretched and made my voice sleepy "Harry are we home?"
"Yeah you fell asleep again but we're back now".
"Hey guys now we got this stuff we can't be bothered to cook so we're gunna order some pizza that alright with you?" Danny sounds so excited that we are having pizza. "That alright Choc you want just cheese right. Yeah that's fine mate me and Choc will share a cheese". Aww Harry's so sweet for sharing with me. When the pizza came I saw that they had got chips as well so obviously I started them first. When Dougie saw that I was only eating chips and Harry had nearly eaten the whole pizza he exclaimed "Harry at least give your sister some food". So Harry gave me 2 slices of pizza knowing I wouldn't eat much else and I didn't I only ate one slice. "Can I go to bed now. Where's my blanket gone?" I asked upon seeing Harry nod. "Oh I put 'it' in you room for you". By putting it in my room I guessed he had taken the photo that had been wrapped up in it and put it on the side of the bed I was sleeping in.
It was the middle of the night when I woke up not feeling well. I don't know what's wrong I just know I should tell someone preferably Harry. Luckily when he was taking me to bed he showed me which room was his. So as I was going to his room the pain got worse so I started to run. As I barged in the door forgetting about knocking. "Harry, Harry wake up I don't feel well". Now that I thought about the pain it felt familiar. "Charlotte why are you waking me up at" he paused to check his alarm clock "at half 3 in the morning". When he looked at my face he saw how much pain I was in and quickly got up and dressed. "GUYS WAKE UP I NEED HELP" well now I was deaf as well. Then Tom came running down from his room while pulling on a shirt which didn't help him running down the stairs. "What do you need help with is the Ouse on fire, did Dougie break a window, Danny didn't nearly strangle Dougie again did he?" Wow if I wasn't in pain I would have found it funny that Tom asked the most random things but nothing to so with me even though he saw me. "Woah no none of that happened Chocs ill and I don't know what to do. Help please?" I don't think that he needs to ask seen as Tom quickly started talking to me and looking me over for bruises when Harry said my name. "Where does it hurt and how bad?" By this point Dougie had come out of his room probably being woken up by Tom jumping out of his bed which was above Dougie's room. "It's my tummy and it really hurts but it feels like its happened before but I can't remember". When I said the last bit Harry looked in deep thought probably trying to remember when I last complained of a pain in my tummy as I didn't get I'll often. "Do you feel like your going to be sick?" Dougie finally aside while yawning to which I shook my head the doubled over in pain as I was starting to feel dizzy as well. "Is it just a tummy ache?" Tom asked "no I feel dizzy as well" now Harry looked even more in thought. "Maybe you should just sleep it off". Then Harry had a look of realisation. "No mate we need to get Danny up now and get in the car". He was rather calm when he said this which only meant he was trying not to freak out. "Ok Dougie you go get dressed while I get Danny up and then we'll go to the car". Tom was just as calm but probably because he didn't know what was happening. "No there's no time for that we literally need to pick Danny up and get him in the car". As Harry said this the pain was getting worse and he could probably tell by the look on my face.
We finally got into the car, Tom and Harry having to drag Danny out of bed and into the car, while Dougie helped me walk/carried me to the car. "So where do we need to go" Tom asked the question that was on his, Danny's and Dougie's mind but he really did need to know as he was driving. "To the hospital". With that nothing more was said on the way with me in the front on Harry's knee so he could jump out, while the others parked, to get me seen to. When we arrived Harry opened the car door before Tom had even stopped at the entrance. Once inside Harry explained what was wrong with me but I couldn't hear what he was saying cause the pain was unbearable now and I was to dizzy to even see straight. After Harry put me on the bed for the doctor to treat me he was sent outside to wait and he last thing I heard was the doctor saying that I would be tired after being treated and would be asleep when Harry next saw me. In my sleep I managed to work out was wrong I had eaten something with gluten in but I didn't know what. "The doctor said it was something she ate but is doing tests to be specific and doing another test but he didn't say what for" well now I knew what was happening as I woke up. "Harry" that was all I needed to say for the attention in the room to turn to me. "Hey you feeling better now?" Danny asked a split second before Harry and Tom. He had obviously been filled in while I was asleep. "Yeah still feel a bit dizzy. How long have I been asleep?" I asked the room in general just wanting an answer. "Just over half an hour". Wow I thought it had been longer than that. Before anyone could speak again (or at all for Dougie) the Doctor came back in.
"Ahh I see your up Miss Judd. Now we have run some tests and it shows that it was the pizza that you said she had ate earlier which cause the reaction. However the other test we ran gave us some curious results". The doctor had addressed me first but then turned to Harry and Tom. "What do you mean curious results?" Tom asked the doctor. "Well Mr Fletcher when Mr Judd said that Miss Judd had been diagnosed at a young age with a gluten intolerance I thought I should double check and see if it had worsened thats what the other test was for". That didn't make sense as to why the results were curious, I obviously wasn't the only one thinking that everyone looked puzzled except for Dougie he looked guilty I wonder what for. "Well what did the results say doc" oh Harry should you really be calling a doctor doc. "Well it seems that Miss Judd was miss diagnosed and actually has an allergy to wheat, which could be taken as worse than a gluten allergy". Wow thanks I only wanted to know why the results were curious if they were good news. "Well is there anything you can do". That's a good question coming from Harry especially when he hasn't had hardly any sleep. "Actually" I giggled which caused the doctor and Danny to look at me funny I assume Dougie would have to if he wasn't so engrossed in his own mind. "Carry on please doctor" see Harry that's how your support to speak to doctors I think. "As I was saying we have actually just had a vaccine released that can cure if not severely reduce an allergy to gluten or wheat. I was wondering if you would think you parents would agree to the procedure?" I hope they say yes. "Yeah I think they would". Harry's and the doctors conversation drifted of as they left the room I presume to call mum and dad.
That's when I noticed that Dougie still looked guilty Danny and Tom must have noticed too "hey what's up with the looks Dougs?" I don't think Tom or Danny expected the answer that Dougie gave them. "It's all my fault that Charlie had to be bought here she probably wouldn't have eaten any pizza if I hadn't made Harry share. She could have just eaten chips. Now Harry's mum and dad are never going to trust us to look after her again on our own and Harry's gunna be gutted and not talk to me". Harry had walked in mid way through Dougie's ramble and decided now was the time to stop Dougie rambling on. "Dougs its not your fault I would have made her eat some anyway cause she couldn't just have chips. Mum and dad will trust again on the phone mum even said that it was a blessing in disguise and that Hoc might be cured now. So I am still gunna talk to you wether you like it or not". As he finished his statement he pulled Dougie into a tight hug. Aww they've already formed a bond. That's when the doctor cam back in with all the things he needed for my vaccination. "Ok I'm going to have ask you all to leave for a bit". No I couldn't do this on my own I had a fear of needles. "No please let them stay". I think the doctor thought I had been through enough to night so he hesitantly nodded. Harry was use to having to stay with me when I had to get jabs and grabbed the hand on the arm that wasn't getting the injection. "Ok you're going to have this injection today and then another one in 4 days time. Then next week you will have to come back for a test to see if it has worked". I think the other guys started to sense my distress and all tried to calm me down but what worked the most was Dougie making silly faces behind Danny who was clueless, Tom laughing showing his dimple and Harry's hand in mine for reassurance.
When we got out of the hospital, after making my appointments that will follow, we set of for the guys home. "Ok Choc your gunna have to stay with one of us at all times including when your asleep incase you have any side effects. It will have to be until you have the test to see if it has worked". Well I guess that makes sense. So when we got home I went to bed with Harry and we all planned to have a lay in in the morning considering it was now nearly 6 in the morning. Just as I was getting ready to go to sleep I realised that I couldn't cause I didn't have my planner or the thing that was wrapped in it. "Harry just gunna go get my 'stuff' from the other room". The only response I got was a grunt so of I ran to get my things. When I got back I put my blanket around me but didn't just want my other 'stuff' on the bedside table so chose to hug it instead forgetting that the guys could see it and ask questions that I didn't want to answer yet or at all.
