"She's okay, right?" I heard Demi's familiar voice through my throbbing head. I heard beeping, and I realized it was a heart monitor. I was in a hospital. Oh no. I opened my eyes, and saw a doctor in a white coat and Demi standing at the foot of my bed.
"Your'e awake! Demi said as she rushed toward me. I nodded slightly as the doctor walked toward me, and my stomach tightened. I was always nervous around strangers.
"Hey Alex, I'm Dr. Davizio and you are in the ICU. How do you feel?"
"Fine." I lied. I felt far from fine. I wish I was dead.
"Ok, well, your'e probably wondering what caused you all of that sudden pain a couple hours ago. I'll explain it to you. Demi filled me in on what you have been going through. Since you've been depriving your body of nutrients for so long, your body has been feeding of your internal organs, mainly your heart. This results in your heart becoming very weak. All that pain you had was caused by you're heart starting to give out."
Demi had a sad look on her face as he said those last few words.
I stayed silent. I wished my heart would just give out right now.
"Now, we are gonna keep you here for a couple of days to monitor your heart. Normally with patients like you, we would send you to an inpatient clinic, but I now Demi knows how to handle situations like this, so we will let her take care of you. Now get some rest." The doctor smiled as he left the room and closed the door.
I looked over at Demi, and she had tears in her eyes.
"I almost lost you." Her voice cracked and the tears rolled down her cheeks. She grabbed my hand and squeezed it. I looked down, and noticed that I was hooked up to a lot of machines. I shifted in bed, and noticed a weird feeling on the side of my stomach. I lifted up the hem of my hospital gown, and was shocked to see that a tube was going into my side. I followed the tube with my eyes up to a a clear container with tan liquid in it. It looked like the liquid was going into my stomach through the tube.
"Demi, whats this?" I said as I gently touched the tube.
"That's a feeding tube baby."
"What's it doing?"
"It's feeding you."
My stomach dropped. I was being fed. No, no, no. Calories were being put in me through this stupid tube. I grabbed the tube and pulled, but it didn't budge. A sharp pain spread through my abdomen.
"Baby no you can't take it out! I know it's hard, but you can't take it out."
Tears spilled over my eyelids and cascaded down my face.
"But i'm already fat!" I said as I sobbed.
"No, baby your'e not."
Demi wrapped her arms around me and rubbed my hand. I closed my eyes. This was gonna be a long couple of days.
