The New Gamer (A Demma Fanfic)

Part 29: Another Trip To The Hospital!?

1 Week Later
"Good game Brade," I say to Brady after the video, "you played very well." "You too," he replies, hugging me. I hug him back. "You're the best mum ever!" He exclaims, and I hug him tighter. "You're so sweet," I say to him, breaking out of the hug. He smiles, and I run to my bedroom to see Dan. I trip, and Dan gets up and catches me. "You're such a klutz, Jem," he says to me, and we kiss. I smile at him, he's so sweet. "I see you're feeling better," I say to him. "Yep," he replies, "I'm feeling a way better. Oh, I almost forgot." Forgot what? Then I remember: My medicine. I hate the needle, and it really hurts. He goes into the medicine cabinet in the bathroom and grabs a syringe and the bottle of medicine. We go downstairs, and I am scared. "Don't worry Jem," Dan says to me, "it'll be alright." I trust him. "What's that?" Brady asks. "It's a syringe," Dan explains, "it's for mum's medicine." "Oh," he replies. "Ready?" Dan asks me. I shake my head. "C'mon Jem, it won't be that bad. I promise." He puts his arm around me, and I smile wearily. "Whenever you're ready," he whispers, and I reluctantly hold out my arm. He takes it, then carefully jabs the needle into it. He slowly pushes down on the syringe and the green liquid seeps into my skin. I wince in pain. He hugs me. "It's ok mum," Brady tells me, "it'll be better for you in the long run." I smile at them, and Brady runs over and hugs me as well. I love them. Dan pulls the syringe out of my arm, then Brady hands him a band-aid. Dan carefully places it over the shot area. It stings. "Insomnia is coming up," he says to take my mind off it, "you coming?" "You know it!!" I reply, "I love meeting all your fans!" He smiles. "I hope my anxiety won't be too bad." I smile wearily. "You'll be fine, mum," Brady tells me, "trust me." I love Brady so much! Just then, someone knocks on our door. "I'll get it!" Dan exclaims, running towards the door.
Dan's POV
I wonder who's at the door? I slowly open it, to see Sadie and Mike. Jem runs over to me. "How was the date?" She asks Sadie. "Great," Sadie replies, "Mike's so sweet!" They run upstairs, probably going to talk about the date. "I'm sure that you're the perfect guy for Sadie," I say to Mike, and he smiles at me. "Thanks Dan," he replies, "and your videos are the best! Your minecraft skills are amazing!" I smile back. "I'm guessing you're a fan then," I say. "Not just any fan," he replies, "I'm a super fan!" I laugh. "I'd better get going," Mike tells me, "Bye!" He calls out to us as he walks out the door. He gets in his mom's car, and drives off. I take my phone and call the doctor to have him come check on me since I'm feeling better. Minutes later, he arrives with his doctor bag. He checks me out, running a few tests, then gives me the news. "You're fine," he tells me, "the virus is gone!" I'm so happy that I get to make videos again, I really missed it. He packs his stuff up and leaves after I pay him. "You hyped for Insomnia?" I ask Brady. "So hyped!!" He replies, "Super duper hyped!!!" I chuckle, and go upstairs to record a video for MoreTDM. "Wanna record with me?" I ask Brady. "Sure!" He replies, "I'd love to, dad!" His eyes light up. We run upstairs to my office, and I start up the camera. "Hey everyone, Dan here and welcome back to another video where today we will be looking at some of the craziest apps," I say. "Hey guys!" Brady exclaims.
*Timeskip To After Video*
Sadie's POV
"Ice cream ice cream ice cream!!!" I shout, "I want ice cream!!" "Ok, ok, we'll go out for ice cream," Mum tells me. "Yay!" I exclaim, and run down the stairs. "We're getting ice cream, we're getting ice cream!" I sing, "C'mon dad, let's go!!" I tug on dad's sweatshirt, pulling him towards the door. "Calm down, Sadie," he says to me, "I'll be ready in a minute." He goes into the bathroom. "You excited Brady?" I ask my brother. "Deffo," he replies, "deffo." Dad finally gets out of the bathroom after what seems like forever. We then head out to the car. I see mum and dad carrying Ellie and Darcie to the car. "Why are we taking Ellie and Darcie?" Brady asks them. "We're going to look for a place that also sells doggie ice cream," they reply, smiling. I hop in the back next to Brady, with Ellie on my lap. Mum and dad get in the front, and dad sits in the drivers seat. I can't wait!!
*Timeskip To The Ice Cream Place*
"We're here!!" Mum exclaims. I usually can't wait for ice cream, but I feel terrible right now. My stomach really hurts. "I..." I start to say, "I don't... feel... so good." I'm now doubled over the side of the car, the door is opened. Ellie jumps off of my lap as I throw up everywhere. Suddenly, I black out.
*Sometime Later*
I wake up groggily. "Huh, where am I?" I ask, "where's my family?" I fully open my eyes and look around. I see mum and dad looming over me. Brady is to my side. "What happened?" Ellie and Darcie start licking my face, and I pet them. I feel really weak. "We don't know exactly," a doctor says, "but you had a lot of toxins in your body, and you will need surgery to remove them." Surgery!?!? Then it hits me. "Can I talk to my family in private, please?" I ask the doctor. "Sure thing," he replies, leaving the room. "I think I know why I'm here," I say, "it was when we were still at the orphanage. I hated my life, every time someone came looking to adopt people, they never looked at us. Never. They always called us worthless freaks, even mistress Mary. So one day I decided to kill myself. I overdosed on some pills to die. No one did anything about it." I'm tearing up. Mum hugs me. "It ok, sweetie," she tells me, "you're going to be ok." I smile a little. Then, dad and Brady hug me as well. I hug them all back. "Thanks guys," I whisper. Then, the doctor rushes in. "She needs surgery, now!!" He screams, wheeling me off to the emergency room.
