A YouTuber's Tale : Discontinued

Joe P.O.V

"Hello." The doctor smiles to myself and Jade who's planted herself next to me with a tissue in hand, wiping the tears from her face. I haven't had the chance yet to ask her what's wrong, as I'm not sure I'll want to hear the answer anyway on top of the panic from Emily's sudden incident.

"Hello." I reply to the consultant.

"Are you with Emily?"

"Uh yeah." I reply. "I'm her boyfriend, sort of, and this is her twin sister Jade."

"Nice to see you both." He smiles. "Emily is ok. She's breathing, and she's sleeping at the moment. We took blood samples, and it's come back that she took a large amount of ketamine in the past hour."

"Ketamine?" Jade questions.

"It's a general anaesthetic drug. It's used by anaesthetists to put people to sleep in theatre. Did you go out perhaps drinking tonight?"

"Yeah we did." I reply.

"Well, it seems that Emily had her drink spiked. Ketamine is known as the 'date-rape' drug. It's pretty self explanatory. You're lucky you got her here quickly."

"So, how long will she be out for?" I ask.

"Anything from the next few hours to a couple of days. Any more of that drug, and she could have been put in a coma."

"There's nothing you can do? Me and my sister are pretty busy tomorrow." Jade croaks to him, her phone constantly beeping and buzzing which we have chosen to ignore. "We have to fly to America in 3 days."

"I'm sorry but there isn't much we can do at this point in time. We can try in a few hours, but for now she's out cold." The doctor tells us. "I'm sorry, you two. Do you want to come back tomorrow morning? The ward opens back up at 10."

"I can't." I say. "Our meet and greet?"

"Right." I say. "Can you get your dad or Caspar to come up?"

At the mention of his name, the tears roll from her eyes faster. I don't know what to do but hug her, the consultant standing and looking between us sympathetically. "I'll leave you two some space." He tells us, patting Jade's knee and walking away.

"Jade, what happened?" I whisper to her, rubbing her arm smoothly.

"I-I," She stutters. "I went back into the club looking for Caspar, and-"

"And?" I ask. "Jade? What happened?"

"He was, was kissing another girl!" She cries, burying her head into my white t-shirt. "He cheated on me, again!"

I make a mental note in my head to kill Caspar painfully. This is the second time he's broke this girls heart. She was just letting her guard down and Caspar landed another final blow.

"Listen." I whisper. "Why don't I take you to your dads, and you can stay there for the night. Hopefully he can come and see Emily, and me and you can do the meet and greet tomorrow yeah?" I offer. I know that my video will be late up, but this is so much more important.

"Thanks Joe." Jade smiles, hugging me and wiping her tears on the back of her hand. I tell the consultant our plan, hugging Jade and walking out of the ward with her on my arm.

After dropping Jade off at her dads, I head back up to the apartment. Driving down the dark roads, back past the hospital towards home, I pull up to spot another car beside the road.

"Why do I recognise that car?" I mutter to myself, locking my car and walking up the steps to the door. Sliding my key inside, I push the door open.

Shutting the door, I throw my coat up onto the rack beside Caspars, telling me that he's home. Looking down at the floor, I spot a pair of small heels by the kitchen side, ones that I recognise but don't seem to be big enough to be Jade's or Emily's.

I march over to the stairs, jogging down them and hearing subtle girly laughter from Caspar's room. Fury takes over me, the laughter and groans and shuffles echoing through his room and out into the hallway.

I walk over and swing his door open, looking at him ontop of a girl that I seem to know to well.

"Are you kidding me!" I shout, both of their faces looking up at me. Caspar quickly jumps off of her, standing up and throwing his shirt back on. He's stood in only his boxers, the small girl led down with a small skirt and only her bra for her top half.

"Oh my god Joe!" She cries, covering her chest with her hands and trying simultaneously to throw her top back on.

"Are you f*cking kidding me right now!" I shout, the whole room becoming silent. "You cheat on Jade. You then get her to forgive you. We go to the club. Emily gets her drink spiked, and the moment Jade is out of sight you cheat on her with someone who is already in a relationship!"

Caspar flops back onto the bed next to the girl who he's decided to get with.

My sister.
