"Not so different from me." [Emery huang]

Episode 8: (part 1)

TW: anxiety, stress, starving

Jennie's pov:
"Hey, Jen, where have you been man?" Eddie asks when I walk into the house. Man a bit has happened since last, let me catch up. Mom sat me down for a little to talk about my family, my birth family, it was all so crazy to me. But even with the whole situation, she and dad calmed me down. Mom told me she talked to the woman who was presumed to be my aunt, and that I just need space. And I've been distancing myself for a little from everyone. It's not the best choice but I felt it was right.

"Hey, ed's I've just been really busy, sorry man what's up? I ask as I take my shoes off and sit next to him on the couch. "Mom won't let me go to a rap concert" "How surprising," I tell him sarcastically, rolling my eyes. He hits me lightly on the arm, "C'mon Jen if you ask her she'll definitely say yes." Don't get me wrong, eddie's been one of my bestest friends since they moved, but you wouldn't catch me DEAD at that concert. "Eddie Huang, please you and i BOTH know i'm never going to step near that venue, unless the Beatles or Queen is playing." I responded as i hit him back, laying back. He hits me back, and we go into a small fit of slapping eachother.

"What are you guys doing?" I hear coming from the hallway, we both turn our head and see Mr. Huang. "Oh, Hey Mr. Huang, we're just being bestest of friends" I tell him as i give eddie a head lock. "See? Bestest!" as eddie struggles under my grip Mr. Huang looks a bit suspicious. "Okayyy," he says walking away. Eddie finally get's out of my grip walking away, but not before we both stick our tongues out at eachother.

After I calm myself, i walk to evan and emery's room. "Hey kiddies" I say before letting myself in, both boys look at me with excitement and happiness in their eyes. "Jennie!!" evan bursts out before coming to tackle me in a hug. "Woah vv's you're getting strong!" I say before hugging him back and floofing his hair a little. "Nini, hey where have you been?" Emery asks before walking over and hugging me, whilst evan's still attached to me. "Really busy, i'm so sorry i've been super stressed with everything." "No need to apologize you did nothing wrong." evan said still attached at my waist. I look down and smile, eventually he let's me go and we sit for a while and talk. We even start and play 20 questions, before i pass out again at their place.

Time skip:
"Eddie? Will you sign this petition? Mr. Hedgehog is running for mayor." Evan tells eddie as he walks in. I find it a bit ridiculous for this whole campaign since, y'know it's a hedgehog, but i digest. "Evan, Jennie, and I are learning about the government." Emery tells him as we're sitting at the table. I'm messing with my skirt at this point since this is starting to get tedious.

"Your hedgehog is stupid." He said clearly upset. "You made a powerful enemy today." Emery says looking down at the hedgehod upset he said that. Eddie simply rolls his eyes from that whole situation. "You guys tried your best" I tell them rubbing their shoulders. "I'm gonna head home, mom's making spaghetti, and wouldn't wanna miss that. See y'all tomorrow!" I told them getting my shoes on and walking to my door, I pulled my keys out of my pocket and walked into the house. "Hey mom!" I tell her taking my shoes off, but suddenly get a rush of dizziness to my head. "Hey hun dinners almost-" and the rest was a blur.

Raven's pov:
I was mid telling Jennie about dinner when i heard a thud. My heart instantly dropped and i rushed over to check on her, i walk to where the front door is and see her passed out, sweating, almost anorexic. "Jennie! Wake up!" I start to panic, I check her pulse to make sure she's okay, i check her forehead, and she's burning at the touch, i immediately turn the stove off and help her into the car where i rush her to the hospital. I check her in, and sit in a waiting room for a while. After almost an hour the nurse who was taking care of my daughter left the room. "Your daughter's alright, she seemed very dizzy and almost stressed. She seems to have lost lots of weight, please watch over her diet to make sure this doesn't continue in the future." She tells me before walking away.

I immediately rush into her room where i see my child sitting on a hospital bed. I feel my eyes start to water as i look at my child. I grasp her hand, terrified i may never hold her again. Another hour passes and my husband rushes in, teary eyed as well. "Is she okay?" He asks worried. I hesitantly nod. "This poor thing is under so much stress and we didn't even realize, what kind of parents are we?" I ask feeling guilty. We barely even realized what was happening to her right underneath our noses. "It's not our fault, we wouldn't have had predicted this to happen. We just have to hope for the best going forward. We'll tell the Huangs later. We don't them worried right now." My husband tells me. We both figured it's the best. We'll tell them eventually. We know that.
