Silver Spoon spent nearly a week in the hospital, learning more about her condition. She learned how to moderate her blood sugar and give herself insulin. Octavia and Vinyl also learned how to help Silver manage her diabetes. Although she had their support, Silver felt alone.
~~~~~ ~~~ ~~~~
“Silvie you have a visitor,” Octavia said walking into Silver’s room (well the guest room she had been staying in).
“Who is it?” Silver asked.
“Diamond Tiara, she’s been super worried about you,” Octavia answered. Silver buried her face into her pillow.
“I don’t want to see her. I don’t want anypony to see me like this,” Silver muffled. Octavia sat on the bed running a hoof though the filly’s mane.
“You haven’t talk to anypony that wasn’t me, Vinyl or Vinyl’s mother since you got home from the hospital. Talking to a friend will make you feel better,” Octavia whispered. Silver sighed and got our bed. She walk to the living room and saw her friend sitting on the couch. Silver took a deep breath and sat next to her friend.
“How are you feeling?” Diamond Tiara asked. Silver Spoon didn’t answer.
“What am I missing in school?” Silver asked.
“Snips and Snails history rap battle. You are lucky you didn’t have to sit though that. It was the worst thing know to ponykind,” Diamond complained. Silver laughed at this, of cause those idiots were making fools of themselves.
“What else did I miss?” Silver asked trying to find out the gossip going on at school.
“Well, in art Rumble knocked over paint and it got all over Twist’s face. When she took off her glasses it looked like she had a reverse mask, she look even more of a loser then she already is. During recess that blank flank Scootaloo road her stupid scooter down the slide, she fell off and ran over her own wings. And that was just yesterday. You need to come back soon it’s hard being surrounded by loser idiots.”
“I don’t know when I’m going back,” Silver Spoon told her friend.
“Seriously, you need to come back. You won’t be a good friend if you don’t,” Diamond demanded. Silver got mad and jumped off of the couch. Her bathrobe flew off, and got snagged on her glucose moderator. The small device was ripped out Sliver’s front leg and she started to bleed. Diamond nearly fainted at the sight of blood. Super embarrassed Silver ran back to her room. Diamond Tiara can not know about her Diabetes. If Diamond did find out she would bully Silver about it. Silver broke down crying, she was a big pony not a little foal but she was crying like one. She never wanted to go back to school.
“Can I just be homeschooled?” Silver cried as Octavia helped put in a moderator.
“Father can hire a tutor for me,” Silver added.
“You can’t hide forever, you need to go back to school,” Octavia replied. Octavia kissed Silver’s forehead before leaving the bedroom.
“Hey, Li’l Spoon can I come in?” Vinyl asked knocking on the door. Silver pulled the covers over her head. Vinyl walked into the room and sat next to their sister-in-law. They put a hoof on the filly.
“Hey, I know how you feel,” Vinyl whispered.
“How?” Silver sniffled.
“I know it’s not the same thing, but with my eye condition. When I was in school I had to take eye drops and these weird eye goop. I was bullied for that, a lot,” Vinyl said taking the covers off of Silver’s head.
“Once I got fed up with my bullies and chased them around with an empty tube of eye goop. It was so funny, ok I was the only one that thought it was funny but it was.”
Silver imagined a young Vinyl chasing around other foals with a tube of eye goop. She couldn’t help but laugh. Vinyl smiled at Silver messing up her mane.
“Did I see you smile? You are lucky that you don’t have my teacher. Ms Curmudgeon was the worst, she didn’t make me feel better about my eye goop.”
“Telling Silver about the eye goop?” Octavia asked walking into the room. She walked over to Silver’s bed and sat next to Vinyl.
“I’m sorry that your visit with Diamond didn’t go well,” Octavia whispered.
“It’s ok, It’s not your fault.”
“We have a meeting with Ms Cheerliee tomorrow so we all can be on the same page,” Octavia whispered fixing Silver’s glasses.
“It’s going to be ok, I promise,” Octavia whispered kissing Silver’s forehead. Silver buried her head into her sister’s chest and broke down crying. Octavia rubbed the filly’s back singing a lullaby into her ear.
“You are the most important pony in my life, I won’t let anything happen to you.”
