So I'm most likely not going to be able to update tomorrow. We have a family party which will be on till late so there might be a double update on Saturday.

At the end of this chapter there is a few days time jump, I hope that doesn't annoy people but it's the beginning of the next storyline.

'I told you I was okay.' Demi says quietly as she glances at Mike who's sitting beside the hospital bed.

'You were severely dehydrated, Demi. You were far from fine.' Mike replies glancing at the IV drip attached to Demi's arm.

'I'm fine. When can I go home?' She asks.

'In a few hours. You need to get rehydrated and then you can probably go home.' He replies.

'I hate these places... I feel so trapped.' She mumbles and he nods his head.

'I know you do but if I hadn't brought you in when I did things would've been a lot worse.' He says.

'I know. Thank you.' She replies.

'You should phone Joe.' He says passing her phone to her.

'Did you tell him?' She asks.

'I had to. You were unconscious.' He replies. Sighing she takes her phone and quickly dials Joe's number.

'Hello?' He says, his voice filled with concern.

'Hey, babe.' She replies.

'Demi! I've been trying to get a flight back as soon as I can. I'll be home by tonight.' He says causing her to smile.

'You don't have to come home, Joe. I'm okay. They think it was originally food poisoning but because I was throwing up so much I got dehydrated.' She explains.

'But you're okay?' He asks.

'I'm fine. I'm on a drip at the moment but I should be able to go home soon.' She replies.

'Are you sure you don't want me to come home? I don't mind. I can fly back out once you're 100%.' He says.

'No, it's okay. Just give me a few days and I'll fly out to you.' She replies.

'You don't have to, Dems. If you're too ill just stay home and I'll be back soon.' He says.

'I'll see how I feel but I don't want to be apart from you for two whole weeks.' She replies.

'Okay well as long as you're okay.' He says.

'I'm fine, Joe.' She replies.

'I love you.' He says.

'I love you too.' She replies.

________

'Home sweet home...' Demi mumbles as Mike follows her through the front door.

'How you feeling? Do you want to go lie down?' Mike asks.

'No, I'm okay. Can you book me flights to New York?' She asks sitting down on the sofa.
