Three Years A Nick Jonas Story (Book One)

Chapter 23

Shay's POV

Once we entered, Kevin was no where to be found. We asked the woman at the front desk and she pointed down the hall. I interlocked hands with Nick as we proceeded to the door. I opened it and found Kevin sitting in a chair. He stood up, then quickly sat down.

"Oh, I thought you guys were the doctor," I gave him a look.

"It's nice to see you to Kevin." He chuckled, but it only lasted a second. Nick took a seat at the couch across of him. I sat next to Nick and we cuddled up.

"Any news on him yet?" Nick asked placing his hand on my leg.

"Yeah, they're done pumping out his stomach. They're just waiting for results. He's throwing up a little bit, but you guys can go in if you like. He's awake." Once Kevin mentioned throwing up my stomach did a cart wheel. I absolutely can't handle other getting sick. It's a phobia I have.

Nick still holding my hand stood up. I didn't budge. I just continued to stare at him.

"Hun? Is everything alright?" he asked sitting back down rubbing my hand.

"You know how I can't handle people getting sick," I said in almost a whisper.

"Oh that's right, I forgot. Would you like me to stay here and we could go in later?"

"No," I sighed. "Go visit your brother." He kissed the top of my head.

"I'll be back," he said closing the door. Kevin just stared at me.

"You really can't handle when people get sick?" he asked.

"Yeah, that's why I don't want kids." Kevin got real quite. I played on my phone while waiting for Nick to come back. Soon enough he entered and took his spot next to me.

"Do you know you're girlfriend doesn't want kids?" Kevin blurted out. I would've been real pissed if Nick hadn't already known. Nick gave him a face.

"Yes, I'm already aware of that."

"Joe also knows," I chipped in.

"Well no one told me about it." I laughed a little.

"You're not my boyfriend. Why would I need to tell you that?" I asked.

"We're all family here right?"

"Kevin, do you know how awkward that would be if I told you about my sex life?"

"Well, I don't need to know what you guys do under the covers," he said holding his hand up. Nick and I both looked at each and laughed.

"The covers are clean Kevin," Nick said. The door then opened and the doctor walked in.

"We have some good news. Joe is going to be just fine. I'll like to keep him here for a couple of days. To watch him in case of any signs of depression swing by. You all can come in and visit. He's very eager to see you all. Especially you young lady," he said pointing at me. I blushed as Nick pulled me in close. We all got up and walked to Joe's room across the hall. When we entered he was full of wires and such all over his chest. He had an IV in his arm and a heart monitor on his finger. He smiled at us and waved to come in closer. Nick and Kevin walked over to him, but I stayed near the door. Seeing Joe like this reminded me of what happened when I did the same thing. No, I didn't have to get my stomach pumped, but I had to stay over night. That was one of the hardest things I had to go through.

As I kept staring at Joe he frowned. Nick walked over and grabbed my hand.

"If you're not ready to see him yet you could wait outside. I'll meet you there in a bit." Tears began to cloud up my eyes. Before I knew it, they started to rain. I ran to Joe and hugged him tight. He hugged me back and whispered in my ear.

"I'm so sorry, I was being so stupid and selfish. Please don't hate me for my mistake. You know I love you." After he said that I grabbed his face and kissed his mouth.
