Jughead's POV

"Jughead honey, the ambulance will arrive in ten minutes . Are you ready?" Veronica said while was helping me get dressed
"Do we really need to go by an ambulance? We can go to the hospital ourselves?" I said

"Good question, can you walk on your feet? Besides I don't know what to do with all the stuff you're connected to and I don't want you to get hurt "

"Ok, fair enough "
"Jughead, can we talk before we go?"
"Yeah sure "

"Today we're going to the hospital and they will run tests on you; I really hope you don't have anorexia but if you do, it's ok. You'll start your treatment and there's no way you can scape this time. Just promise me that you'll try your best to get better "
"I promise Ronnie but what should I do with Delphine?"
"You can see her whenever you want. By the way, school will be over next week; so I can take care of her "

Then Ronnie's phone went off
"It's doctor Williams he's probably out "
She then went to open the door for him and minutes later a tall man and two paramedics were in our room. The tall man who was probably doctor Williams came to me then.

"Hi mr. Jones I'm doctor Williams. We've met before. You know why we're here?" I nodded
"Good, aren't you panicked or stressed?" I shook my head no
After that the paramedics came to put me on the stretcher. They wheeled me to the ambulance while Ronnie and Delphine were coming after us. When we were all settled in the ambulance,they started driving to the hospital.
At the hospital they gave me a room and before they take me for examination, doctor Williams came to check on me.
"Are you ready mr. Jones?" He asked
"I think I am " I replied
"Good. Just wanted to make sure you're not scared or anything "
"Is it anything more than a blood test that I need to be scared?"

"No I'm just going to take your blood and check your vitals. I know it's not scary but you have no idea who scared people are when they come here. So, I just ask them before we start because I don't want to have a screaming patient in the hospital just because of a simple test "

"Well,I'm fine. Let's just do it "
"Okay "
"Excuse me doc, can we go with him?" Veronica asked
"Well I'm sure you and this precious little girl can wait. Having many people in the examination room may cause papatient a panic attack. Don't worry it won't take a long "

After that a bunch of nurses came to the room and took me to the examination room. They checked my vitals and took a blood test then. It didn't take more than half an hour and they sent me back to my room. We were done but we had to stay in the hospital because I was still on meds and we had to wait for the test results, so I had to spend the day in the hospital.
Doctor Williams came back to us when I was back in my room.

"Ok mr. Jones we'll have your results today but there's something I should tell. Actually I don't know how to say it " he said, kinda nervous

"Just say it doc" I said
"I checked your vitals mr. Jones; you have have anorexia nervosa "

"Oh my God " Ronnie gasped, she was definitely shocked and I was just trying my best not to break down in front of everyone. Unfortunately Veronica understood there was something wrong.
"Jughead are you ok ?" She asked, I nodded
"What are we going to do now?" I questioned
"Be patient. First of all we have to see how bad it is. We'll talk about it later. For now you should rest, you can spend your day with this little girl and her mom. Just don't get stressed; tranquility is the only thing you need right now "

"Maybe you're right " I said
"Trust me. I'll leave you now but I'll see you later. Have a nice day "
"Bye doc " Ronnie and I said together

A few minutes passed by silence. I didn't know what to say, I had nothing to say. I could never imagine these days; me sitting on a hospital bed, not knowing what to do, not because I had fatal sickness that was going to kill me but because I wanted to kill myself. I could never imagine myself breaking my promise to the most important person in my life just because I was so selfish that I decided to listen my sick thoughts. My life was ruined just because of me.
