(Joe's POV)
My mom pulled up to the hospital. I still can't believe Jess is going to be moving in with us. Life is too perfect right now. I hopped out of the car and helped Jess out too. My mom was walking ahead of us. So me and Jess talked to eachother. I had my arm around her waist.
Jess: You sure you'll be able to handle living with me for a whole year?
Joe: Umm... Let see. I can handle living with 3 brothers. Im pretty sure i'll live. And plus, you seem like a really good replacement room mate. Because.. you know. I dont like to sleep alone.
Jess: Is that so? Well.. I guess its too bad i'll be staying in the guest room.
Joe: No you wont be. I'll get mom to let you stay in my room.
She laughed. We got the the counter where mom told the office girl I was really sick. So she she sent us to the doctors room.
I was sat on the bed swinging my legs back and forth. Mom was sat in the chair, and Jess was sat on my lap. She moved up and down as I swung my legs, which made her giggle..
Just then Dr.Thorpe came into the room.
Dr: Joseph Jonas?
Joe: Thats me!
Dr: Well. While im doing the checkup and the test there are no people aloud in the room.
Denise: Oh, okay. Well.. Bye. Let me know as soon as you know whats wrong.
I kissed Jess on the forehead,
Joe: Bye, love.
She laughed.
Jess: Bye. I love you
They left.
Dr: Okay, Joseph. Do you have any idea whats wrong? To give us any help before we run the test.
Joe: All I know is that one minute I was fine, the next I was running a 103 degree fever. I felt like I was going to throw up and my heart rate was going insane, like 3 beats a second.
Dr: hmm.. Interesting. Well, we're going to run some test and get back to you.
So He hooked my up to all these wires and tubes. Monitering my heartbeat. By now I knew that I was past the stage of just a regular cold. This was either going to be a false alarm, or something serious. I stayed hooked up to these stupid wires for almost an hour. Then the doctor came back in from the monitoring room.
Dr: Now, Joseph.
Joe: Its Joe.
Dr: Yes. Well Joe, have you had any severe medical history in your family?
Joe: Well, My younger brother has Type one Diabetes. And my Dad died of heart Disease when my mom was pregnant with my youngest brother... why?
Dr: Do you know what that disease was called?
Joe: Hy-hy-pert-
Dr. Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy. Otherwise known as HCM. It is a very rare genetic heart disease. We tested you for it and it seems that you're test results came out positive.
My face color drained. Heart Disease? That can't be. There is no way. My life is so perfect, and now it turn out that I have heart disease?!
Joe: H-h-h-h-h-heart Disease?
Dr: Yes.
Joe: Am I going to die?
Dr: No. Not if you take the medication properly. Now there are many form to fill out and things to be taken care of. You need a parental guardian to sign these forms.
Joe: Doc. Please, dont tell my girlfriend.
He sighed, then nodded his head.
Dr: I'll go get your mother.
He left then about 5 minutes later he came back wiht my mom. Whose facial expression told me she had no idea what the hell was going on.
Denise: Whats wrong with my son?
Dr: There was a reason why he was so sick, Mrs.Jonas.
Joe: Mom, I have HCM.
Tears sloshed from her eyes like a waterfall.
Dr: Im so sorry Mrs.Jonas. the medication will cost $100 a bottle, and he is to take 1 a day.
Denise: For how long?
Dr: Well.. Its hard to say. We are going to bring him in for monthly test until the medication works its magic. If he takes the right size doseage he shouldnt have any problems with his heart. No sudden attacks, no fever, no mood swings that are out of the ordinary.
Denise: Is that the same Disease that killed my husband?
Dr: Yes. But it was much more severe back then. And there was no medication to treat it. He had no idea he had the disease when he took that heart attack. Now we have the technology and the medication to control it. It is much less severe. I'll go get the perscription.
He left and I turned to mom.
Denise: Oh, Joseph.
I wanted to cry with her, but I knew it would only make her worse, so I comforted her.
Joe: Mom. You heard the Doctor. I'll be fine. Just please do me a favor.
Denise: What?
Joe: Dont tell Jess, She doesn't need this to worry about on here shoulders along with everything she has to worry about. She doesn't deserve to carry this much worry.
My mom smiply nodded.
Denise: But we have to Get Nick, Frankie, and Kevin in to get a test. I'll call Kevin and tell him to get it done as soon as possible, and i'll bring Frankie and Nick in soon.
Joe: Just please.... dont tell Jess.
