PLEASE READ MY NOTE DOWN AT THE BOTTOM

Revised Version:
(Joe’s Inner Monologue):
“I know why Nick wanted to tell Livie that she has diabetes. But I think I should at least be there, I am her twin. We were all badly affected when Nick got diagnosed because we had no clue what was going on. But to be honest, it feels 10 times worse to know that Livie got it. Why does she have to get it, God? Why couldn’t you spare her? Why couldn’t I get it instead of her? She doesn’t need to deal with this for the rest of her life. Dear Lord, why? I guess I should thank you for not taking her home to be with you yet, I don’t know how we will ever recover if that ever happened. Thank you that Nick took the lead and was able to be there for Livie when no one else can. Please don’t let diabetes get in between our relationship, Lord. I love Livie, she is the most important person in my world, I would be lost without her….
(His phone rings, bringing him out of his thoughts)
Joe: Nick! Hey! How is she?
Nick: She wants you, Joe. Kev and I are her but we can tell that she really wants you. She doesn’t want to say it because she thinks it will hurt our feelings.
Joe: I’ll be right there. And Nick, thanks for telling me, man.
Nick: No problem, man
(Joe puts his phone in his pocket and walks down into the waiting room where he sees his parents. Dad tells Joe that she is in room 227 on the right. Walking in the room, he wasn’t prepared for what he was about to see. His best friend… his other half… his everything was lying in that hospital bed. He could tell that she was holding back her tears. He did the only thing he could do. He lay down right beside her and let her snuggle into his shoulder. Looking down, he saw she was crying. He looked around the room for the first time and saw that Kevin and Nick were quietly talking to each other. Joe catches Nick’s eye and told them to leave. Nick and Kevin walk over to the bed and kiss Olivia’s forehead, then leaves. Olivia is now crying lightly.)
Joe: Hey O (touching her lightly on the cheek) you know it is okay to cry and be scared.
Olivia: yeah I know, J. It’s just so hard because it all just hit me that I am never going to be able to just pick something up and eat it again. *sigh* I guess I’ll just have to get used to it.
Joe: you are not alone, O. we are all here for you, you know that!
Olivia: I know, Joey, thanks. *yawns*
Joe: *chuckles* go to sleep, O. I will be here when you get up!
Olivia nods her head and falls asleep. Once Joe knows that she is asleep, he gently moves her head so she was on the pillow. He kisses her forehead and leaves her a note saying he will be back soon in case she wakes up. Outside, the rest of the family are sitting there talking.
Joe: hey Dad, can I have the keys? I want to go home and pick up some stuff for O.
Dad hands him the keys. Joe walks out to the car. Once in the car, he takes a deep breath and looks through his contacts. After two rings, the person picks up.
??: JOSEPH ADAM JONAS!!!! WHY IN THE WORLD IS YOUR SISTER IN THE HOSPITAL? HOW COME I AM THE LAST TO KNOW AND WHO DO I NEED TO KILL?!?!?!?!
Joe: Miles, calm down, Livie has…
Miley: Joe, please DO NOT say cancer, I can’t lose my favourite Jonas.
Joe: No, thank God! She has type 1 diabetes. Mom went into her room to get her for her exam and she was passed out. Miles, I am so scared.
Miley: Oh wow…. Joe, take a deep breath. Where are you now?
Joe: I am sitting in the car in the hospital parking lot. Livie is sleeping so I am home and grabbing a few things to comfort her.
Miley: Joe, go into her closet, there is a pink duffle bag full of overnight clothes. The only thing you need is Fuzzy (teddy bear). I just booked a flight; I will be there in three hours. See you then!
Joe: bye Miles…. Wait how do you know about Livie’s bag? And how do you know she has it packed?
Miley: I have to go, I’ll talk to you later, tell Mama J that I will be there soon.
Joe: okay, bye, Miles.
Joe drove home and parked his car and went into his house. He could smell what Mom made for breakfast. He went straight to Livie’s room, low and behold her pink duffle bag. Inside was everything she needed. He went to her bed and got Fuzzy and put him in. He also grabbed her laptop, her phone, and some of her favourite movies. After he was done, he went to his room, grabbed his guitar and started writing.
