I threw my phone away. I wanted to run to the door, open it and jump up on my baby and just give him the best hug ever! But i couldent. I wanted to but it was like my body had lost all of its energy. It felt like my legs were about to give up on me, so i had to hold myself up by the shelves in my room as i slowly walked to the door. I finally arrived to the door and opened it slowly. I saw Joey. His face went from smiling to super worried real quick!
Joey:Babe? Are you ok?
I started feeling dizzy. I could hear a peeping sound in my head.
Vanessa:N-no..i- iam goi-blac-o-
And everything went black.

The next thing i know is that im laying on a bed in a plane, white room. U could hear someone talking on the other side of the door.
??:no! You can not do that!
??:but-
??:no! This young lady is going through depression and is sick! There is no way you can send her there! This girl is starving! She needs food and she needs love!
The door opened slowly and a man, who i assumed was a doctor, because of the clothes he was wearing, came inside the room with my dad.
Doctor:Hello!
He walked up to me smiling.
Doctor:how are you?
Vanessa:im really tired.
Doctor:yea, ofcorse you are tired. You havent gotten any food in you, you have lost all of your energy.
The door opened again and i saw Joey, mom, and Joeys parents enter the room.
Vanessa:what happend?
Doctors:you had a really hard day, yesterday. You were really depressed and sick and you fainted because of lack of food.
I looked down at my hands.
Doctor:we are going to get you some food right now and then we are going to do some tests.
Vanessa:ok...
The doctor left and i still didn't want to look up. My mom ran up to me and hugged me tight. I didn't hug back though.
Lillys:Vanessa, sweetie how are you?
She asked me, smiling.
Vanessa:i want to be alone.
Her smile faded away and they all started walking out.
Vanessa:Joey?
Joey stopped and looked at me.
Vanessa:Can you stay?
He smiled and nodded his head, yes.
He sat on the chair that was next to my bed and held my hand.
Joey:Vanessa, you are a strong girl, but we need to-
-Joey's POV-
-
A few hours had passed by since i left Vanessa's house. I wonder what she is doing. I really want to be with ther rn. There was a knock on the door to my room.
Joey: come in...
Jen: Joey, we are going to Vanessa's house and you need to come too.
Joey:why?
Jen:we will tell you there.
I got up and we walked to her house. Her parents opened the door and let us inside. It didn't look like they were mad at me, because they both hugged me. We sat on the couch. Lillys looked really scared.
Lillys: so since Vanessa and Joey were tog-
Joey:we still are together?
Max:im sorry Joey but Vanessa is not allowed to date anyone.
Joey:thats bullshit! I can't just leave her! I love her!
My mom placed her hand on my back as she said.
Jen: sweetheart, im sorry but you need to respect that.
I looked down at my feet as k tried to not cry in front of all of them. I didn't want to look up for the rest of the conversation.
Drew: we understand that she is not allowed to date, and i respect it, but can i just ask why?
Max: beacause as you probably dont know, we are actually from Albania. So we are really strickt about the dating stuff. We want Vanessa to go to Albania when she gets 25 and there she is going to find her husband and marry him. We do this so that the albanian culture alive.
Lillys: but now back to what i was saying. So Vanessa is not having a good time right now and Max and i have a lot of work for about 3 months.
Max: so we are planing on sendong her to her grandmother for a few moths.
I lifted my head back up and stared at them both with my mouth open. What the fuck is wrong with them.
Lillys:Vanessa needs time away from us and Joey.
We heard the door open. Everyone looked at the door and we saw Vanessa. My beautiful baby. She had been crying so mouch, her eyes were blodshot. God i wanted to hug her so bad right now. And kiss her beautiful lips. She didn't say anything. She just closed the door behind her as she walked upstairs to her room.
Her parents and mine continued talking, but i didn't pay attention. I grabbed my phone from my pocket and texted Vanessa.
Joey:babe? are you ok? Do you want me to come upstairs to you?
She answered after a few seconds.
Vanessa: no, im fine.
I knew she wasent fine. And i knew that she wanted me up there by her side. Even though she told me the oposite, i know that she needs me. So i stood up and started walking up to Vanessa.
Jen: Joey where are you going?
Joey:to Vanessa.
Lillys and Max looked at me.
Joey:what? Even though im not allowed to date her, i am allowed to be her friend.
I looked up at the top of the stairs and continued walking to her room. When i reached the door to her room, i knocked and waited for her to open the door. It was taking pretty long. Iwas about to try and open the door, but just then she opened it. I smiled as she opened but the smile faded away when i saw her face. She was so red. I then noticed that she was holding herself up by her shelve and her legs were shaking.
Joey:Baby are you ok?
Vanessa: i-im fi-fne
Her eyes started rolling arround and she fainted. She was about to fall, but i catched her. I ran to the parents and explained everything, with Vanessa still in my arms. We hopped in the car and drove to the hospital.
-Max's POV-
-
We had been waiting for so many hours. It was morning now and the doctors finally came out of the room. One of them came up to me. I stood up emediatly.
Max: how is she?
Doctor: not good.
I hided my face in my hands.
Max: when will she come out?
Doctor:in a few days.
Max: can you explain more to me? How is she doing?
Doctor:she isen't doing good. She deeds to be taken good care of.
Max:i was thinking about sending her to her grandmother. She would get away of this boy that she is in love with and she will get treated good.
Doctor:are you crazy!? You are doing the opposite of what you are supposed to! This girl is going through a really high level of depression! She needs to get taken good care of, she needs love and she needs food!
