I saw the bathroom lights on through the bottom of the door.
"Emz?"
No reply.
"Love?"
No reply.
I heard faint breathing. She's in there.
Oh no. It's one of those days.
I opened the door and saw her sitting on the floor, crying.
"Love... i know it hurts but you can't sit on the floor. Come here" i whispered, carefully lifting her off of the floor, walking back into the bedroom, laying her on the bed.
"Better?" I asked.
"Mhm" she nodded, holding her stomach.
I hate that she has to go through this. Every month? Damn.
"Love I'll be right back... okay?" I asked, kissing her forehead, before walking out of the room.
I ran down the corridor and headed to the kitchen.
"F.R.I.D.A.Y can you make some hot chocolate as quick as you can please"
"Of course Underoos"
"Thanks"
I looked through all the cupboards until I found them.
Caramel Dairy Milk buttons. Emily's favourites.
"The hot chocolate is finished"
"Thanks F.R.I.D.A.Y. Is Emily okay?"
"Miss Stark is curled up in a ball. It looks like she's in pain"
"Shit" i mumbled.
I grabbed the hot chocolate and the caramel buttons and walked as quick as I could back to her room.
"Hey Emz. I got you something" i said, walking into her room.
There she was, like FRIDAY said, curled in a ball.
"Love... I got you chocolate" i whispered.
A pair of eyes looked in my direction. I saw a slight smile, before it turned into a frown. She pressed her forehead onto her arms again.
I hate seeing her like this.
I carefully sat next to her and placed a caramel button in my hand, holding it out to her.
She looked at my hand for a second, then she looked at me, then back to my hand.
She took the button and took a bite out of it.

There she is. There's that smile I love.
I handed her the bag and she shifted slightly so she was sitting half upright.
She took the mug out of my hands and took a sip.
"Thank you baby" she whispered, before sipping it again.
Then she quickly placed the mug down, before clutching her stomach again.
I held my hand out to her, which she quickly took, interlocking our fingers.
She gently squeezed my hand, accepting the offer.
She seemed to ease up a bit. Then she realised what I was doing.
"Pete why are you doing this?" She asked.
"Because I don't want you to have to feel the pain. It kills me to see you like this" i said, squeezing my eyes closed when the pain kicked in.
"Oh my god that hurt" I breathed, squeezing her hand.
"I warned you" she giggled.
"I know Love... I know" I said.
"You don't know how much this means to me. You'd happily take the pain from me. That takes a lot of caring" she said.
"I'm doing this because I love you" I said, shifting closer to her.
"I know you do Parker. I know you do" she said, before pressing her lips to mine.
