Story 16
(Nick drives Lindsey and Demi to the ER. Lindsey is trying so hard not to let them see her freaking out.)
Lindsey: Is the ER really necessary? I mean, couldn't your mom just look at it. Please Nick, please.
Demi: Lindsey, it could get infected. Please just let us take you to the doctor. I know that you are terrified of doctors but please, let us take you.
Nick: Wait, why is she terrified of doctors?
(Demi looks at Lindsey as if to ask Can I tell? Lindsey shakes her head)
Demi: Something happened back in Texas. Its still hard for both of us to talk about.
Lindsey: Please, please. Take me home.
Nick: Lindsey, you know you can tell me anything, right?
Lindsey: (she starts tearing up) Please Nick, if you had any idea what I've been through you would turn this car around. Please.
Nick: Fine, we'll go see my mom.
(They get back to the Jonas house and Nick carries Lindsey in.)
Nick: Mom!
Denise: Yes Nick?
Nick: Please come here, hurry.
Denise: (running in) what happened? Whats wrong?
Demi: Lindsey dropped a glass and it busted on her foot, can you look at it.
Kevin Sr.: That looks bad; I think we need to take you to the ER.
Nick: Dad, something happened to Lindsey at a hospital and now shes terrified of ER's. Please don't make her go.
Demise: (yelling to Kevin upstairs) Kevin, please bring me my first aid box down here.
Joe: (coming in) what happened? (Seeing Lindsey) Eww, blood.
Demi: Wow, I'm sure that made her feel better.
Joe: (rushing to Lindsey's side.) What happened?
Lindsey: I dropped a glass on my foot.
Denise: (Kevin brings the box) Ok, lets see what we can do.
(Denise cleans up the gaping gash and puts butterfly strips all over it. Then she wraps gauze around it and then she wraps and brace around it. Then she hands Lindsey some crutches.)
Lindsey: Gahh, did you rent out a hospital! Thank you Denise!
Denise: Lindsey, maybe you should stay here for a couple of days so I can keep taking care of you. Demi, you can too.
Demi: Ok, I'll run over and get our stuff. Joe, come help me please.
Lindsey: Aww, look at yall. Yall just met me a couple of days ago and yall are already pampering me like I'm one of you.
Kevin: Lindsey, you are one of us now. Any best friend of Demi's is a sister to us.
Nick: (under his breath) Eww, not sister.
Kevin Sr.: What was that Nicholas?
Nick: Ohh, I was just agreeing with Kevin, (turning to Lindsey) Lindsey, I already feel like I know you, you are the most amazing chick I have met in a long time. I'm glad you moved up here!
Kevin Sr.: What made you move up here anyways?
Lindsey: Ohh, well. Living in boring old Texas was getting old. I just had to get away from everything.
Nick: Lindsey, do you want to come outside with me, I need to talk to you.
Lindsey: Uhh, sure. If you help me! (She laughs)
(They walk/hobble outside and they sit down on a porch swing and Nick starts talking.)
Nick: Lindsey, I am so glad you moved up here and I know everyone else is too. But I cant help but wondering why exactly you moved up here. You said just to get away from everything, what exactly is "everything"?
Lindsey: Uhh, I guess this had to come out sooner or later.
Nick: Lindsey, you can tell me anything.
Lindsey: About two years ago I was diagnosed with Osteosarcoma. Its a type of cancer that affects bones in teenagers that go through growth spurts. The cancer attacks the bone and eats it away. I was so scared I was going to lose my leg. I've always been a gymnast. I quit competing and I had to go through so much chemotherapy. The doctor finally told me that the cancer went into remission. It stayed in remission for about 4 months and I started living differently. I started doing physical therapy to strengthen my legs and I started to go back to the gym. But then the cancer hit me again, and this time much harder. I was in the hospital for about a month. I finally learned to accept it. I had always been a Christian but those few months where I "knew" I was going to die I really started studying everything about Christianity. I learnt so much. I was truly prepared to die. But then the cancer went into remission again and it still is today. So now, I live day to day. I live more for me and not for other people. That's why I moved up here. And, here I am.
Nick:...
