S:2 Chapter 3: The Hospital

Dylan's POV:
Josh ran into the room and told us that the ambulance was here. He picked her up and ran downstairs. I closed her door and ran down, they put her in the ambulance and let me go with her. The nurse looked at me with a sad smile and I looked back at Y/n.

Nurse: This your twin? Dylan right?
Dylan: Yes ma'am
Nurse: If you don't mind, could you tell me what happened, I heard about the kidnapping, I'm sorry about that by the way
Dylan: It's alright. She came home this morning and ate, but she seemed a little bit off, like she didn't want to eat but then later she got a headache and I noticed that five of the bruises she had looked burned
Nurse: We should have her fixed up in no time and then we'll take a look at the eating part
Dylan: I hope so. Our parents noticed that she had lost a lot of weight over the six weeks and she was already small so they seemed worried about it and I was too when I realized she wasn't wanting to eat
Nurse: Well she might've mentioned that her body could've gotten used to not eating more than one meal a day. Has she gotten herself rehydrated since she was found?
Dylan: I'm not sure, I wasn't in LA with her but our brother Josh might be able to tell you
Nurse: Alright, I'll ask him when we get her to the room. I'll walk you there while they get her out
Dylan: Alright thank you so much
Nurse: No problem Dylan

We began walking to Y/n's room and they had her close behind us. I kept looking back to see how she was. We got to her room and she was settled into her bed. They came and did a few tests and then everyone arrived.

Mom: How is she?
Dylan: She went back out on the way here but they said she should be fine
Mom: I hope she's okay
Josh: She'll be fine mom
Dylan: Josh, nurses need you to describe her eating since we got her back
Josh: Alright, I'll be back

He walks off to go talk to the nurses and mom and dad look at me confused.

Dad: Why do they need to know about her eating?
Dylan: Well they know about her struggling to eat today and they believe her body has gotten used to minimal food and water daily.
Dad: I did notice that she seemed uncomfortable eating today, which might've been what stressed her out to get that headache
Dylan: I was thinking the same thing
Nurse: Mr and Mrs. Richards?
Dad: That's us
Nurse: Follow me please

We follow the nurse into Y/n's room. Y/n looks at us with a small sad smile. I walk over to her and sit next to her.

Dylan: How you feeling sis?
Y/n: Dizzy, lightheaded
Nurse: You'll probably feel that way for a while
Mom: Is she going to be okay?
Nurse: Well due to her not being able to eat much, she's lost a lot of weight and is very weak.
Mom: Are you saying she-?
Nurse: No eating disorders, but if she would've been there another week she could have had one
Dad: What is the plan to getting her well?
Nurse: We need to keep her for about a week, we have to keep an eye on how much she's eating and drinking and then we can consider letting her go back home
Mom: So she cant come back home right now?
Nurse: Unfortunately not but we're going to try to get her back home as soon as possible
Dad: Headline of the week would be that she's back in the hospital
Mom: Not if we don't say she's in the hospital
Dad: Dylan did you tell Payton about this?
Dylan: No do you want me to?
Dad: Not yet, we need to wait and see how this will go
Y/n: But I want to talk to Payton
Mom: Not right now sweetie, we need to make sure you are getting better
Y/n: But if we wait to tell him, he might worry more since I can't talk to him
Dad: Alright. Dylan text Payton and let him know
Dylan: Alright

Texts: Payton:
Dylan:
Hey Payton, don't freak out but Y/n is in the hospital right now
Payton:
And you telling me not to freak out? Is she okay?!?
Dylan:
Well she got a severe headache and I found out that five of her bruises were burned and they're having to watch over her eating
Payton:
Burned?
Dylan:
Almost as if Anthony place it in the fireplace before knocking her out
Payton:
You've got to be kidding me. And why are they having to watch over her eating?
Dylan:
Well she was only allowed one glass of water and one small meal a day for six weeks. They said there's no sign of an eating disorder but one more week and she would've had one
Payton:
I'm so glad we got her out when we did, wish we never would've lost her in the first place, but thank you for letting me know and keep me updated about it. Tell her that I love her
Dylan: Will do

Dylan: Payton said he loves you
Y/n: Tell him I love him too. So I'm not going home?
Mom: Not right now, you should be able to before too long
Y/n: I'm going to miss you
Dylan: We'll miss you too Y/n
Dad: Do you think one of us could stay with her?
Nurse: Whoever she is closest to, that way they can help her start eating again. Who's she closest to?
Y/n: Dylan
Josh: Well I mean he is her twin so it makes since
Nurse: That okay with you?
Dylan: I'll stay
Mom: That's fine with me
Dad: Watch over her Dylan
Dylan: I plan on it
