Jake's P.O.V.

Morning soon came and breakfast was the one to wake me up.

"Ohh. Do I smell Bacon?" I said perking up as the smell grew stronger

My mother walked in with a tray full of food for the three of us.

"Someone's up." She said as she picked some bacon up and ate it.
"Millie wake up" I said nudging her

She soon awoke from her deep sleep

"Do I smell food?" She said excitedly
"Yes kids, I'll get you plate to you in a second." My mother said in response to our very hungry selves

"Thanks" we said as delicious food was handed to us
"So babe" I said "how does your head feel?"
"A little pain here and there but over all, not too bad." She happened to make through as she chewed her bacon
"That's good" I replied

We sat together and ate out our food.

"Yum" I said as I popped some scrambled eggs into my mouth

Millie's P.O.V.

I grabbed my head in pain, there was a non-stop ringing on my ear

Gemini saw my quick response and asked "Sweetheart are you okay??"

I just screamed in pain, I swear everyone thought I was crazy. I screamed so loud people from two floors down had heard. Doctors and nurses came rushing in, they wheeled me out and into another room.

I continued to scream, not as loud as before but quite loud. Jake and Gemini ran but we're told they weren't allowed in. My throat became scratchy as I continued to scream

One of the doctors or nurses that had wheeled me into the room had stuck a needle in my arm

Soon, a bright yellowish light flooded my vision then it all started to fade.

Jake's P.O.V.

"Hey! What's going on!" I called out as they wheeled her away

I was pushed back by many, "Sir you can't go back here!" They yelled
"You can't just leave me clueless!" I yelled back

They didn't seem to care as nobody replied

My mother took me over to a couch they had in the waiting room

"What if she isn't okay?" I tried to say through tears

My mom comforted me as we sat there for hours.

Every hour I'd ask the same thing, "Is there any information on Millie yet?" But I always got the same response, "We can't tell you that yet Sir."

Then I cried.

Yes. I cried.

She was a lot to me and losing my other half is like losing a friendship necklace, you'll never forgive yourself. "Jake" my mother said trying to calm me "Just believe in the best."

I took what she said into context.

I stopped asking for any information because I know I'd get the same response

Hours more passed

No response

We waited for what felt like weeks

"The Family of Millie Sprouse?" A doctor had finally said

I got up and speed walked over to him "Yes, That's us."

"She" he hesitated "She's out but we still cannot figure out how or what happened that she had such a reaction to."

"Oh.. uh.. Ok, when can I see her?" I said just wanting to know more

"I'll show you to her room, she isn't awake yet but I'd be very gentle with her because we don't want that to happen again. Not that it's your fault but because we don't have enough information, we can't explain it." He said

My Mother said something before I could reply "Um, do you think I could like, examine her and the information you've found, I am a doctor and maybe I'll be able to find something you guys didnt."

"Technically we're not allowed to do that but you are correct on the fact that you might find something. I shouldn't allow it but just this once, I'll let it slide." He directed towards my mother

"Ok, this way." He said as he directed us down another hallway
"How long do you think it'll be before she's awake?" I said along the way
"Well, the medicine has almost worn off but that doesn't mean she won't be so worn out that she sleeps a while after they've worn off."
"Ok, thank you." I said as we arrived at her room

We sat there and waited for her to wake up

"Honey, she's going to be fine, get some sleep, I'll wake you when she gets up ok?"
"Ok mom"

I fell asleep in the horrible smelling hospital room

---

"Jake" someone called "Jake, She's up" they called again

I stretched and opened my eyes

"Stop acting like a cat" my mother had said
"I'm sorry mom, I'm just tired."
"Jake?" Her curious voice had said
"That's me babe, how can I be of service?"
"Where.. where am I?" She said confused
"You're in a different room but you're still in the hospital."
"Still?" She said
"I know, you want to be out but I'm not letting you leave untill we know that everything is fine." I tried saying to calm her

"But, but" she continued on
"No buts" I said interrupting her
"Oh Fine."
"Are you tired baby?" I asked unsure
"Not really. But if you want to cuddle, I'm fine with that just be careful."

I got on the bed and soon passed out.

At least she was by my side
