After we left Red Lobster, we all went home and I immediately told Michael about what all happened earlier today.

I excepted him not to cry. I don't know why. He's a sensitive person so I should've expected him to cry.

He shouldn't be crying over someone who's a total bitch ass.

"And Michael. If you don't believe me. I'll slap the hell out of you." I harshly said careless of his feelings.

He took a deep breath and wiped his tears off with his sleeve.

"Don't hit me. I kinda believe you but I need more proof." He sniffled.

"Michael! What more can I do?! I keep trying to show you proof but it's never enough! What do you want?!"

He sighed, "I want to see it with my own eyes and hear from my ears that this is true."

"You've heard from your ears now all you have to do is see I guess." I shrugged.

"Right." He agreed wiping some more of his tears.

"So.. what? You want me to videotape it or something?" I shrugged.

"Just do whatever you can to prove." He mumbled.

"Michael, if you believe me, then why do I still need to show you proof?"

"Because I kinda don't believe you.."

Adrenaline rushed through my veins and my whipped my hand up in the air. I stopped myself before I decide to hit him in the face and put my hand down.

"Michael! You're so damn stupid!"

"She could've been telling the truth. That guy was probably crying."

"He wasn't crying! I can call him right now and he can tell you everything she did to him! I have his number!" I pulled my phone out of my pocket.

"Kaitlyn was upset at me for not trusting her, that's why she's been acting weird lately and not talking to me."

I wish Kaitlyn never came to his life. She made my little brother stupid as hell.

He's a really smart guy but when it comes to relationships, he's stupid as hell.

"She's been acting weird lately because she's cheating on you." I gritted my teeth and dialed Calvin's number.

Before I could even press "Call" the door swung open and my mother busted in the room.

Her phone is clenched in her hand and a balled up tissue is in her other hand. I looked at her face and her face is full with tears and her eyes are red.

"What's wrong M-"

"Get up! Get up! Ariel got rushed to the hospital!" She cried.

The word "hospital" alarmed me.

"What?!" Michael and I shouted and jumped off of Michael's bed.

It's hard to believe that Ariel is in the hospital after I've been hanging around with her earlier tonight.

She threw up three times and she doesn't care because she goes through that every year.

I knew something was wrong with her.

I ran out of Michael's room and went into my room in panic. I stuffed my feet into my house shoes and threw a jacket on. I skipped down the steps and headed out the door with Michael and Mother.

Trey's POV

I held Ariel's hand in the ambulance truck the whole way to the hospital and now we're in a room and I'm still holding her hand.

I will never let go until my baby sis wake up.

She has a oxygen mask covering her mouth and nose and an IV placed in her arm and still asleep since she fainted.

I hope everything is okay with her.

I keep telling her to eat and drink every morning afternoon and night but she never listens or just say she already ate.

She's been getting a little skinny nowadays. Her collar bones are showing, her face is getting slimmer and she barely eats.

She didn't even eat the food I ordered for her at Red Lobster so I put it all in a to-go box so she can eat the leftovers.

All she ate was that bowl of fruit after she got off the bus from school. I guess that's all she ate. Nothing but fruit.

Maybe it's not because she has a low appetite. She's probably sick.

Please lord, let it not be a disease. I want to keep my sister. I love her too much to loose her.

I want her to wake up.

I don't want to loose my baby sis. She's too young and I love her. She's my favorite sister.

I heard three knocks on the thick wooden door.

"Come in." I called.

A female doctor came in dressed in decorated scrubs, a stethoscope around her neck and a clipboard in her hands.

"Hello, I'm Doctor Tam, you must be Trey Bleu. How are you?" She greeted holding her hand out.

"Hi." I mumbled.

She knows I'm not in a good mood so why did she ask?

"I'm going to ask you a few questions." She sat in the roller chair.

"First, can you please tell me what's wrong with my sister." I stopped her.

She glanced at Ariel and looked at me with no sign off worry in her face. She's making it seem like everything is okay.

"Another doctor is over there doing a blood test to see what's wrong with her." She told me.

I looked at the male doctor beside Ariel sticking a needle in her arm. I took a deep breath and looked back at Doctor Tam.

"Can you please tell me her name and age and your name and age?" She asked clicking her pen.

"My name is Trey Bleu and I'm seventeen and that's Ariel Bleu and she's fifteen."

"What's her date of birth?"

"June seventh."

She starts writing on her clipboard while I stroke my thumb against Ariel's hand.

"Race?"

"Black and Indian"

"Has she been sick lately?"

"Well- yeah. She's been vomiting and not eating a lot lately."

"That's a problem. That probably lead to her fainting." She said while writing on her clipboard. " If she gets to go home tonight, then please tell her to eat more because not eating a lot can cause her to faint."

"Why did you say 'if she goes home tonight'!?!" I raised my voice.

"Just in case she has to stay overnight." She backed away a little.

I held my chest.

That bitch scared me.

"There's a possibility that she's gonna be staying over night because she has a high fever, her heart rate is down, and it's already ten o'clock." She explained looking at the machines beside Ariel.

"Will she ever wake up?" I asked.

"Yes she will. We don't know when though. It takes time." She got up and patted my back.

"If you need me, I'm in that desk right in front of this room and my name is Doctor Tam again." She smiled.

I nodded and the doctors left the room. I looked up and the tv is on "Channel 5 News" talking about Ariel being rushed to the hospital.

The tv is on low volume but the captions are showing a lot of lies on the bottom of the screen.

"Ariel Bleu, Naomi Bleu's daughter, is rushed to the hospital after a serious heart attack at 9:07 PM. The family left Red Lobster and on their way there, Ariel had a heart attack. The ambulance came and they're still trying to help-"

I grabbed the remote and turned the tv off.

People need to learn how to mind their own damn business and get a real job.

Ariel didn't have a damn heart attack!

Now she's gonna be dealing with people asking about it!

They love to make up stuff.

Prince busts in the room with tears falling down his face and rushed over to Ariel.

"Ariel! Are you okay?!" He shakes her hand.

"She's not awake." My voice shook.

He sat on the other side of the hospital bed and held her right hand.

"What happened?! Did she have a heart attack! I saw the news!" He panicked.

"She fainted." I replied.

"Ugh. Please wake up." He kissed her cold hand.

"What did the doctor say about her?" Prince asked, his voice shaking.

"They don't know what's wrong with her yet. They're gonna find out." I breathed out.

The door swung open again, I looked and Latoya and Michael came rushing in the room, more louder and faster than how Prince came in and then Kaitlyn came last, texting on her phone.

"What happened?! What happened?! What happened?!" Latoya panicked with tears falling down from her eyes to the floor.

I don't want to repeat myself.

I rested my head on the arm of the bed and let out a few tears.

It's been a long time since I've cried.

I'm a tough guy but when it's one of my family members that is sick, I cry.

"She got a heart attack. Did you see the news?!" Kaitlyn chuckled.

"She did not get a damn heart attack!" I snapped.

"That's what they sa-"

"Kaitlyn stop! This is fucking serious! She could die tonight!" Michael yelled at Kaitlyn.

He really didn't have to say that..

I clenched my fists and let a few tears fall from my eyes.

"That's great cause you know what, we won't have have a person trying to ruin our relationship anymore. Michael, you and I can be happy without her." Kaitlyn smiled and grabbed Michael's hand.

I couldn't help myself but get up from my chair and stomp my way towards Kaitlyn. She didn't back away from me, she laughed at my face and crossed her arms.

"What you gonna do? You can't hit a girl. If you do hit me, you'll be in jail and you won't be able to take care of your precious sister, if she doesn't die tonight." She said harshly.

I heard them gasp behind me and I grabbed her shirt and pushed her to the wall. She gasped and held her chest, looking at me like I'm crazy.

"I don't give a fuck about going to jail. You don't talk about my sister that way or else things will get ugly." I spat.

"Get the hell out of here!" I shouted and pointed at the door.

She rushed out of the room and sped walked through a hallway.

I popped my head towards Michael.

"Michael! Why the fuck did you bring her here anyway dumbass?! You might as well get ya ass out of here! You know Kaitlyn is gonna start shit!" I barked.

"I didn't tell her to come with me! She went with us!" He yelled.

"Why are you even here Michael?" Prince questioned.

"Because this is my friend, I love her and I'm worried about her." Michael answered.

"You love her? You don't love her as much as I do and don't try to get with my girl, I know what you're doing."

"Oh. So he can't visit his friend in the hospital?" Latoya crossed her arms.

"He can but I don't see why he's crying and hugging all over her and shit." He pushed Michael's hand off of Ariel's arm.

"This is why Ariel should break up with you. You're so stupid." Latoya mumbled.

"I'm not stupid. He's stupid. Y'all gotta tell him more than fifty times that his girlfriend ain't the one and he still won't break up with her."

Latoya looked at Prince and nodded.

"You know what.. you're right. Michael you are stupid. That bitch don't care about Ariel and wants her to die."

"I bet he still won't break up with her after that. Michael you need to leave. I'm sorry man." Prince mumbled and looked at Ariel.

I opened my eyes slowly and all I can see is a very bright light. It's very bright that I can barely get my eyes to open.

Am I in Heaven?

I looked over to my right and there's a long silver pole beside me with a bag of clear liquid hanging from it.

My felt a sharp pain in my head..

I raised my arm to put my hand on it but I couldn't, there's another sharp pain in my arm that really woke me up. I looked closely and there's a needle in my arm with tape on top of and it's hooked up with cords.

I begin to hear the sound of beeping and feeling sticky stuff on my chest. I look down and there's stickers on my... boobs and chest.

Huh?

The fuck is this??

Where am I?

I opened my eyes more wide and looked around the bright room.

Body posters everywhere, red and blue stuff, cords, machines beeping...

I'm in the hospital?!

How?

I'm trying to remember what caused me to be in the hospital and it won't come to me. I'm so lost and I have no idea why I'm here.

I gasped looking at my surroundings.

Trey, Prince and Michael appeared in front of my face. I grew a puzzled face as they looked at me with relief.

"Baby. Are you okay?" Prince asked concerned and rubbing my cheek.

"What happened?" I gasped looking all around me.

"You fainted baby." Prince kissed my cheek a few times.

"Omg is she awake now?!" I heard a familiar voice.

"Yes. Be quiet before you give her a headache." Trey shushed.

Latoya came from behind Trey and looked at me with a surprised face.

I'm still confused.

"I wanna get out of here. Why am I here? I want to leave. I'm okay now." I panicked and start shaking.

"No, you have to stay because the doctor wants you to stay over night. Your heart rate is low and they're still tying to figure out what's wrong with you. We've been waiting for you to wake up for three hours." Trey stroked my hair and kissed my hot forehead.

"What happened though?" I asked.

"You fainted on the doorsteps and now you have a scratch on your head because of that." Trey said.

"This is why you should've let me take care of you, if I did, this wouldn't happen." Prince stroked my hand.

"Ha. Please Prince. If you were to take care of her, she would be still be in the hospital." Michael made a disgusted look at Prince.

"Please stop. Let her rest without y'all arguing." Trey mumbled.

"It's that lil boy, not me." Prince rolled his eyes at Michael.

The door opened and a doctor walked in with a clipboard.

"Hey Ariel, are you feeling better?" She asked walking towards me.

I shyly nodded my head and looked away from her.

She better not give me a damn shot...

When a doctor walks in slowly like that, it mean that they're holding five different needle in their hand.

"I came to say that if all of y'all interested in staying over the night, I'm sorry all of you have to go but Ariel's guardian, Trey. There can only be one person staying with the patient over night." She explained in a nice tone to them.

"When is she leaving the hospital?" Prince asked the doctor.

"Hopefully tomorrow. Okay?" The doctor smiled at them.

Prince leaned over me and pressed his lips against mine.

"I love you Ari. I love you so much. Please feel better." He pecked my lips a few more times.

I don't want him to go..

"I love you too." I tried to keep my tears in.

I feel like I'm never going to get out of this hospital. Doctors like to take heir time on you and keep you here for no good reason.

"Bye Ari. I love you." Latoya blew a kiss to me.

"Feel better Ari." Michael waved at me, following them out the door with the doctor.

I'm still confused. I don't know why. It feels like I was just leaving Red Lobster and three seconds later, I'm in the hospital.

"Ari. From now on, I want you to lick your bowls clean after you eat." Trey said all of a sudden.

I let out a raspy chuckle.

"Why?"

"Because I don't want this to happen again. I really thought I was gonna loose you."

"Really? People don't really die when they faint."

"Yes they do. You haven't been eating so you fainted and you could've starved yourself and died." He raised his voice.

I stayed silent and looked away.

"I'm sorry." He mumbled. "I just want you to be in good health and be safe. I don't want to loose you. You're my baby sister."

"I love you Trey. You and Prince are so loving and y'all care about me.

We talked for a few hours and fell asleep.

•ղҽ×ե ժɑվ•

I wake up and I'm still in the hospital after I had a dream about going home.

I hate realistic dreams.

The room is ten times brighter than last night because the sun is shining right through the big window.

The cords are still on me, the beeping noise is a little quieter and my stomach feels a little better.

After a few moments of laying in bed, the door opens and Trey walks in. He smiled brightly after realizing that I'm awake.

"Good morning Trey." I let out a raspy voice.

"Good morning. Are you feeling better?" He smiled and sat in the chair next to the bed.

"A little bit. My head still hurts."

"The doctor talked to me earlier and said that you can go home today and she also said she wants to talk to you cause it's one of those girly talks." He explained.

"Okay. Can I take this shit off me now?" I smiled and gripped the cords coming from my chest.

Trey laughed, "No, wait until the doctor comes and do that."

"Do I have to go to school today?" I asked.

"No, you're gonna stay home today with me."

We heard a few knocks on the door and the door opened. The doctor, from last night, came in with her clipboard, smiling like always.

"Can I speak with you Ariel for a moment?" She said nicely.

"Yeah sure." I carefully sat up on the bed.

"Trey can you leave us in here alone? I have to speak with Ariel privately." She asked nicely.

"Okay." Trey got up from his chair and walked to the door.

"Do you want something while I'm gone Ariel? Like some chips or something? I'm going to Subway down stairs." Trey said opening the door.

"Sure." I shrugged.

Once he left and closed the door, the doctor looked up at me from her clipboard.

"I have some things to tell you."

I nodded and try to fix my messy bed hair.

"Because you fainted last night, you have to stay at home and sit so you won't faint again. Don't yell, don't run, don't walk too much.. just don't do any stuff that keeps you active for a while."

"Okay?" I awkwardly said and raised an eyebrow.

"And you have to eat food. The last time we saw you, you were one hundred and twenty pounds and now you're one hundred and eight. That's a healthy weight but you're not loosing weight the safe way."

"What do you mean? I'm eating healthy foods and skipping one meal a day like what other people do."

"Well, the results don't say so. It shows that didn't have food in your system for a long time and your weight shows it too. Trey told me about what you were doing also. You're doing a dangerous dieting. The best way to diet is to eat healthy food and exercise."

"I tried exercising and eating healthy but it never works. Fasting only helps me."

"Well, you're not going to be fasting anymore because of another reason I have for you."

"What?" I crossed my arms.

"Ariel, I know you're leaving the hospital today and you're happy right now. I have to tell you this because it's important."

"Tell me."

"I'm sorry I have to tell you this but we looked at the results from the blood test and found out the reason why you're vomiting and getting dizzy."

"Okay? What's the reason.." I shrugged.

"You're pregnant.."

"I'm w-hat?"
