Dina's POV: I honestly have to say, besides the little incident that happened earlier, this is one of the best parties I've ever had! Everyone was having fun and I felt super accomplished! Shit like this takes a lot of planning! I was dancing with everyone, but something didn't feel right but I don't know what it was. Then it hit me like a ton of bricks: it's because Drew isn't here anymore. He went back to the hotel with the others. It was about 2:30 am when I started to send everyone home; if I didn't have Drew with me, I wasn't going to be having as much fun as I would if he was here. Surprisingly everyone left pretty quickly. The last people to leave were the guys. They stayed for like an extra 10 minutes just talking to me; Stephen was quiet the whole time. He already knew I didn't like him that much, and after what happened tonight, that level of dislike definitely went up. We got on the subject of Drew and all the guys were saying that he seemed like a cool dude and that they approved. Not that I was looking for their approval, but it is kind of nice to know they are fine with the guy I'm dating. I gave each of them a hug, promising them we would all hang out again before we all off to college. After that they left. I closed the front door of my house; I turned around and saw the huge mess that was to be cleaned tomorrow morning. That's the only bad part about parties like this: having to clean up the mess. I woke up around 11:30 the next morning and came downstairs to the mess that was awaiting me. I ate breakfast as fast as I could so I could start cleaning up as soon as possible. I plugged my phone into the iHome so I could have some motivation while cleaning. I put on the playlist that had Carrie Underwood, Green Day, Maroon 5, Rascal Flatts, and The Wanted on it. I have a very random taste in music. It took me about 2 hours to clean everything up. I took a shower and got ready to hang out with everyone today. I texted Drew that I was on my way; he texted me saying that Becca and Wes were still asleep, they would be!
I got to their hotel about 15 minutes later and went up to their room. Keaton opened the door and let me in. Him and Drew were the only ones awake. Eventually the other two woke up and we all just hung out in their room for a while. All of a sudden I got a phone call from my grandma's neighbor/best friend Gloria. Why is she calling me? I didn't even know she had my number! "Sweetie, are you busy right now? Are you even in town?" She asked me. "Of course I'm in town, what's going on??" I started becoming worried. "Honey your grandpa is in the hospital, and they don't know whether or not he's going to make it out alive." I didn't know what to say; I've never had a death in my family before. Actually I have, but I still wasn't born when that happened. I told Gloria that I would be leaving for the hospital right now. I got up trying not to cry but a few tear spilled out, and Drew came over to me asking what happened. "My grandpa is in the hospital, and he might be dying right now. Apparently none of my other family is in town to see him but me. I need to go right now, I don't know how much longer I'll have with him." I explained while crying. "Wait! I'm coming with you, I want to be there with you for support. You can't deal with this on your own!" "Ok if you're coming with me we need to leave now!" I said. I told everyone what was going on, and they understood. I ran to my car to get to the hospital. On the way down, I tried to figure out the fastest way to get there from the hotel. Once I got in the car with Drew, I was speeding big time to the hospital! "Babe, I know you're worried and scared about what's happening, but you need to slow down a little bit or else the both of us are going to end up in the hospital!" Drew said trying to get me to calm down. He was right; and I didn't want to get pulled over by a cop either. That would just waste so much time.
We eventually get to the hospital and I find the room my grandpa is in. I tried to stay calm, he was still asleep so we decided to wait until he, hopefully, woke up. 20 minutes later I heard some people come into the room: my uncle Julian, my wife auntie Laura, and my 3 cousins Victoria, Natalie, and Mandi. I love Victoria and Natalie, but Mandi, she was a completely different story. She's hated me since we were about 7 or 8 years old. With everything going on, I really didn't feel like having to deal with her and her bitchy comments about me. I hugged everyone except her; everyone in the family knows we can't stand each other. I went back with Drew and it didn't even take 2 minutes for Mandie to start with her bitchy comments. "Are you seriously with him? You really couldn't do any better than that? Actually I'm not that surprised." Said Mandie. I tried ignoring her, but she made a lot of comments about me, but then she started with Drew about how "ugly" "stupid" "fake" and "untalented" he was and I just couldn't hold it in anymore; she can insult me all she wants, but when it comes to my friends and my boyfriend, that is where I draw the line. I looked at Natalie, giving her a look of warning that I was going to set her straight. "Mandie and don't know why it is you don't like me, and I could care less about what the reason is, but to say all those things about the guy I love is so fucked up. I never said any kind of shit like that about your boyfriend and he ended up leaving your sorry ass! I never made fun of you for that! Anytime that I have my friends around you treat them all like shit and who don't even get to know them! I don't know how the fuck we're related but you need to shut the fuck up and give yourself a reality check! You're not God's gift to the world you know! So stop acting like such a bitch and leave my boyfriend and I the fuck alone!!!" I was holding that in for over 10 years and it felt good to let her have it. "Well don't be surprised when he leaves you, because he will, and when he does I'm going to be over here laughing my ass off because I'll be right like I always am. There is absolutely nothing special about you; when he goes out on tour again or back to the studio he's going to forget about your pathetic little ass. You're nothing more than a short little fuck that will never amount to anything!" I honestly never thought she would say anything that mean. I knew she was going to have some kind of comeback but not at that kind of level. Drew immediately jumped up and said, "THAT IS ENOUGH" very sternly. I stepped back out of the room to try to calm down. I didn't want to continue this fight now, mainly because we could get kicked out of the hospital for being a nuisance. Drew knew I was pissed and hurt, so he came out to talk to me. "Babe I know what she said was way out of line, but you can't listen to her! You are beautiful and way more talented than she will probably ever be. You mean the world to me and I would never EVER leave you!! These past 2 weeks were really hard not waking up with you next to me every morning. Just ignore her, and remember why you're here, for your grandpa. And I'm not going anywhere, I'm not leaving you anytime soon because you're going to need someone to stay strong for you through this. I love you so much Dina, never forget that." He finished wrapping me in a hug. We stayed like that for a while. We broke apart and I started to make my way back into the room when Drew pulled me back, "Am I really the guy you love?;)" he asked me with a smirk on his face. "Yes, you are. Now stop being so cheeky and come back inside!" We went back in the room and continued waiting. Mandie sent glares our way about every 5 minutes, but I'm ignoring her now. She's just not worth the frustration. An hour later my grandpa woke up, but didn't recognize anyone. He has alzheimer's so we're not shocked, but it's still very sad. We talked to him for a while before some of us went and got some food. We came back 2 hours later and just sat around with my grandpa, trying to cherish every last moment we had with him. Around 8:30, his vital signs were going way down and the nurses came in to try to revive him. It wasn't working, this was it. He was gone. We were all balling like crazy. Even Mandie shed a few tears, shocker. I hugged everyone in my family, but mostly Victoria and Natalie; this was the first time I've ever seen Victoria cry. She's a pretty strong girl, but like me, this is the first family death. I didn't go over to Mandie though, I didn't want her to be nice to me for 5 minutes and then go back to calling me a stupid bitch. I went over to Drew and he comforted me, just letting me cry. He hugged me and rubbed my back, trying to be sympathetic of what just happened. "I know you really loved him Dina, he's in a better place now. And he will always be watching you, looking over you" He whispered to me. "Thank you for being here with me Drew. I wonder what everyone else did today huh?" I said "Ha, yeah I hope Wes and Becca got to spend some time together just them 2." "Can I stay with you guys tonight?" I asked, I didn't want to be alone tonight. "Of course you can babe." He said back to me. I said my goodbyes to everyone and we got going after that. Drew drove us back to the hotel, because I was in no condition to drive. This is kind of a weird feeling for me. My grandpa is gone now; I'm just glad Drew was with me today, I don't know what I would do without him in my life.
A/N: sad i know, and a lot of this is true, so go easy on me please:) If anyone ever needs to talk/vent, Becca and I are always here to listen<3
