*Three weeks later*

KEVIN'S POV

I was kinda happy. We were working on a new album, PTX vol. IV, and July was much more comfortable around us.

But her eating disorder was still here..she was really tiny, pale, tired and cold all the time. I honestly had no idea what to do. Should I just take her to the doctor? Or would she hate me and left somehow in that case? Damn, I'm such a horrible parent.

''Hey Kev!'' July came down the stairs, wearing one my sweaters. It was so oversized she almost got lost in it. I had to smile.

''Hey girly. Nice dress!''

She giggled. ''Well, I'm so sorry, but it's just so comfy. And it's raining outside, god I love rain.''

Yeah, and it's helping her to hide how skinny.. Stop it, Olusola. You're officially becoming an idiot.

''Would you like me to call Katie? She could come over or something.'' I suggested

Katie was Avi's niece.

She was a year older than Jul and they became pretty good friends in the last few weeks.

July became really excited.

''Oh my god yes please! Could we have a sleepover? Please please please!''

''Let me think...'' I slowly said, with an evil smile.

''KEVIN!''

''Okay, okay, calm down girl. Sure we can!'' I smiled.

She playfully punched me and left, giggling.

''Oooh, that's a war. Come here you!'' I caught and started tickling her.

''K-Kevin. Stop it!'' She laughed.

''No way. I'm having too much fun.'' I said and continue.

''Please s...'' she suddenly started breathing heavily and gave me a scared look.

I stopped.

''Jul? What's wrong?''

She just shook her head. And then she closed her eyes. She probably couldn't breathe.

''July? Damn! AVI? Where are you?''

Do something, Olusola. This is your freaking fault.

Avi's POV

I was in the bathroom, trying to do something with my hair, when I heard Kevin calling my name.

''Yeah? What's happening?'' I yelled back.

''JUST COME HERE!'' wha-his voice was scared. I ran to the kitchen. July was laying on the floor and breathing heavily with her eyes closed.

''Call 911.'' Kev said, trying to stay calm.

We were all waiting in the hospital. Katie, Kirstie, Scott and Mitch came a few minutes ago.

Katie was crying in my chest and I was trying to comfort her

''Honey. She's gonna be alright, I promise.''

''B-but what happened? Did she just...what if she dies? I-I don't...''

Kirstie hugged her from the other side. ''She's gonna be okay, really. She just had a little accident.''

Scott was biting his lips nervously, gently hugging Mitch who looked completely lost in his mind.

About 20 minutes later the doctor finally came out of the room.

''Julia Kathleen Olusola's family?''

''How is she?''

''Yes?''

''That's us.''

He looked at us weirdly. ''I'd like to talk to her parents, please?''

Kevin stood up and they went to his office.

Kev's POV

He closed the door. I was really nervous. Damn, is she alright?

''So, mister...?''

''Olusola. Kevin Olusola.''

''Oh!'' he smiled. ''Don't you remember me?''

I looked at him and slowly smiled. ''I...you do look familiar but I'm not sure..''

''James Jenkins.''

Dear lord. He was one of my professors from Yale.

''Oh, professor Jenkins! I do remember now. Nice to meet you again.''

''Same here Kevin, same here. So, talking about Julia. Did you adopt her or..?''

''Yes. About a month ago. She was living on the streets, alone, for the last two years since her parents died.''

''Oh. That actually explains a lot..well, unfortunately, I have some bad news.''

''Yeah, I thought so. What's going on?''

''Well, firstly she's self harming. She doesn't have any fresh cuts, so I hope she's getting better. But you still have to be really, really careful.''

''Yes, we found out..I talked to her. Do you think she needs to see a psychologist?''

''Not necessarily..just don't leave her alone if possible. And check her wrists once in a while, but don't be too obvious.''

''Okay, sounds good.'' I nodded.

''She's also struggling with a mild kind of eating disorder.''

''Yes, I noticed it too. But I have no idea what to do. I'm trying to make her eat, but she always says she feels sick and she's not hungry..''

''Just keep trying. It's not so critical yet, and she just..she just needs to feel loved again. But she would have to see the doctor every two weeks for a quick check. Sounds okay?''

''Sounds perfect. She's kinda scared of doctors, but I'll try my best.''

''You're a good guy Kevin. We're still waiting for you to come back and finish your med school!''.

I laughed. ''Maybe I will, one day.''

''Good choice! Well, you can go visit Julia now, she's ready to go home.''

''Thank you mr. Jenkins. See ya!''

Damn, Kevin. See ya? Are you..he was your teacher, for god's sake

He smiled. ''See ya!''

Scott's POV

We were waiting for about 15 minutes, when he finally came out.

''Kev! What's going on?'' Mitch asked.

''She has some problems...but she's okay. We can go visit her now.''

They all stood up. The nurse ran to us. ''Only three at a time, please!''

Kirstie gave her an impatient look. ''I'm really sorry, but our baby's in there, alone, so we're all going. I really don't care about your rules.''

I almost started to laugh. The nurse was mumbling something to herself, but left us alone.

When we entered the room, July weakly smiled at us, lying in a huge white bed, with her long, ginger hair everywhere.

''Oh Jul!'' Katie ran to her, and they hugged. We all did the same, and then sat all around her bed.

''Hey guys. Thank yall for coming here.'' she said.

''How are you feeling honey?'' I asked her.

''I'm alright. Just tired. When are we going home?''

''Right know.'' Avi smiled.

''Do you need any help to get ready?'' Kirstie carefully asked her.

''No, I'll be okay.'' she said, quietly.

''Okay girly. We're gonna give you some privacy. Come out when you're ready!'' Kev said, kissing her forehead.

We left and about 10 minutes later she came out. She was so tired she had troubles to walk, so Mitch suddenly picked her up. Damn, Mitchie? I had no idea he could pick up, well, anyone.

Julie opened her mouth, but he just hugged her tightly and whispered. ''Shh babe.'' in her ear.

I couldn't helped myself but smile. That was so cute. I stepped closer to Mitch and put my hand around him. Damn, I loved him so much. I mean, as a best friend, off course. I blushed when I realized about my stupid thoughts. Stop it, Scotty. He doesn't love you. Not like this. And you know that.

A/N I thought I should put some Scomiche in the story. What do you think?
