Legacy

Chapter 52

In the morning Stacie had called the school and explained that she wasn't going in. Both Stacie and Addy had managed to go back to sleep and get the time in that was needed. Even though to Stacie it was like sleeping with one eye open as she couldn't fully relax knowing the state Addy was in. After a while of tossing and turning, Stacie couldn't sleep much longer. She wanted to sleep but she couldn't. She moved off the bed, seeing if there was a reaction from Addy and there wasn't. She creeped out of the room to grab a book from her room. Many people would only believe that Emily would be the one to read out of choice but even though Stacie had to hold up an image she did quite enjoy reading, only if it was a good book. She came back in and got back into the bed next to Addy who hadn't realised she had left. She looked over to Addy who looked even more pale than the day before. Stacie knew what she had to do.

Beca, Emily and Ali all took a taxi to school in the morning. Emily and Ali had been smiling all morning. They had been exchanging looks which went fully un-noticed by Beca who was making awkward small talk with the driver. They got to school and walked in as normal. Beca's mission was to straight away find Chloe. She needed a healthy distraction and wanted to show Chloe how much she liked her.

She was standing with Aubrey and her friends. Beca came up behind Chloe and wrapped her arms around her waist, which called Chloe to squeal.

"Mitchell." Aubrey said unimpressed.

"Posen." Beca echoed Aubrey but not taking her eyes off Chloe, "Come with me." Beca said, trying to pull Chloe away.

"Excuse me we were in the middle of a conversation, and we school starts in like 10 mins."

"7 minutes, so we have plenty of time." Beca said and pulled Chloe away. Chloe looked back with a pleading looking and was met with a sour one.

Beca led Chloe around to the side of the school where she would take most of the girls to make out without being. Beca immediately pushed Chloe's back against the wall, and pushed her lips onto Chloe's. Who to begin with joined in but Beca moved her hands up Chloe's body. She stopped and pushed Beca back.

"Beca stop. What are you doing?"

"What do you mean?" Beca asked surprised, no one ever stopped her before.

"I'm not doing this like this." Chloe said, straightening out her T-shirt.

"Sorry. I didn't want you to feel upset like the other day."

"Beca you can't ignore me for days and then be all over me. I need you with me all the time for more than just making out, I want to talk and go out like we are at the end of the week." Chloe said walking up to Beca who was obviously distressed.

"About that?"

"What? Are you going back on it already? You don't want to?"

"No It's not that, I like you so much! I-"

"Is it about Addy?" Chloe asked which made Beca's eyes open wider.

"What do you mean?

"I heard Addy passed out and was throwing up really badly in the nurse's room."

"Where did you hear that from?"

"Idk someone just mention it. I think Aubrey told me."

"Does everyone know?" Beca said worryingly.

"I don't think so I just think someone must have seen and told a few people. It's okay."

"Okay. Okay."

"Is Addy okay?" Chloe asked honestly, she felt bad, even though Addy and her hadn't had the best start, she was Beca's sister. And probably a better person than she came off.

"No, not really. Do you want to come over tonight?" Beca said, as the school bell rang and she walked hand in hand with Chloe inside.

"Are you sure? Will Stacie be okay with that?" Chloe said, concerned.

"I'll check but to be honest it will be a nice distraction I need to be there for Addy and Stacie, it will be nice to have another pair of hands around. You're good with kids right?"

"Beca we are kids! But I will do my best only if it's okay." Beca squeezed Chloe's hand and kissed her cheek before walking off to our home room class.

Before the bell rang Morgan and Isla walked into Miss Holmes' room glad to see her in there.

"Please come in." Miss Holmes said with sarcasm.

"Sorry Miss I wanted to knock." Morgan said. To outside eyes, Morgan and Isla were fully different people. To be honest even to inside eyes. The only reason they were friends is one: because Addy was friends with both, and Two: Miss Holmes had pushed them all together.

"What happened to Addy? Is she okay?" Morgan asked worriedly. She had heard the rumours, so had Isla. Neither girl heard from Addy even with the large amount of calls both girls had left.

"What do you mean?" Miss Holmes was generally confused. She had assumed as much that Addy wouldn't have been on her phone but more concerned about how all the other girls knew anything was wrong. It was clear the sister didn't want anyone to know but also the fact if the girls had asked they would have known.

"Addy, she passed out in your room. And then was throwing up in the nurse's room and could barely walk out of school." Isla said, relaying all the information she knew.

"Seems like you know a lot already, how?" Miss Holmes asked curiously.

"It was on Snapchat last night. Someone saw or something. I'm not sure. But like everyone knows. She wasn't drunk or something was she?" Isla said, who received a light slap on the arm from Morgan.

"ISLA! You have known her for ages you know she wouldn't do something stupid, like that. She isn't the type to drink or be drunk at school!" Morgan said defending a girl she had only known for a while over the girl who had known for ages.

"I don't know, she went crazy before this. I didn't think she would do that either." Morgan shook her head unable to believe what was coming out of her mouth.

"You shouldn't believe rumours but yes Addy is sick. And I don't think it's in our best interest, if you care about her, to be spreading rumours about her. She would want you stopping them don't you think! So if you don't mind I need to do this work before school starts." Miss Holmes says clearly the girls out of the room. Isla felt first on her phone and Morgan trailed behind and paused as she got to the door.

"Miss... Is Addy okay?" Morgan asked timidly.

"No but hopefully soon." Miss Holmes answered honestly.
