Mates / Why Don't We

CHAPTER 33: SIDE EFFECTS

daniel laid me down on the sofa and gave me a kiss on my forehead. "can i bring you something to eat lex?" he asked. i shook my head. i didn't wanna eat anything. the others boys noticed i was downstairs and they all came out of the kitchen. "how are you feeling? Jonah asked, already knowing the answer.
"she can't really talk, it hurts" Daniel said. i indeed couldn't talk. everything hurt. Logan was right i underestimated the pain this was gonna cause. i had so much pain I was actually thinking dead would be better right now, i should have just picked the first option.

"Lex i know this really hurts and it's gonna hurt for a while but eventually you'll get better and then we'll take care of you and protect you" Corbyn said, he probably read my mind. i knew he was right but i just couldn't help crying. i felt so miserable. i just wanted this pain to end. i couldn't even talk and i couldn't move. i couldn't do anything. and i was well aware that it was gonna be like this for a while.
on top of that i was actually sad about losing my powers too, yeah i know i said it was no big deal but i was finally able to turn and i was starting to be in control of my time travelling power and now logan had it. Jack and corbyn looked really sad. i hate that they could read my mind i just wanted to be alone.
they probably heard that too cause they told the boys i wanted to be alone.

Daniel stayed with me but i closed my eyes so it was obvious that i wanted him to go too. daniel brought me some painkillers and a glass of water and they kissed my head and left. it took a lot of energy to swallow the pills but i knew i needed them. after i swallowed i felt like i had just ran a marathon. everything hurt. i just closed my eyes and cried. not much later i fell asleep.

i woke up and i saw that jonah an corbyn were sitting in the sofa next to me. the pain was much better but that was probably cause i had taken 4 painkillers. i moved a little so could be more in a sitting position than a laying position. "hey-hey easy" Jonah said while put his hand on my back. "i'm fine jonah i mm on painkillers" i said. "how long did i sleep?" i asked. "about 22 hours" corbyn said. woah didn't expect i had been sleeping that long.
"Do u want something to eat? or to drink? we could watch stranger things?" Corbyn suggested. i chuckled and that caused a strong pain in my stomach. not much later i started coughing, like really badly. and a lot of coughs. they kept coming and it hurt so much. i was having trouble breathing as well. jonah and corbyn immediately got up and tried to comfort me. They probably didn't know what was going on either. Jonah went to get daniel and corbyn was saying calming things to me. when daniel came down i was still coughing. i felt like throwing up. Daniel carried me from the sofa to the bathroom upstairs. Then i threw up. i threw blood up. and it hurt so much. suddenly i was very tired. i felt like falling asleep right there on the bathroom floor. Daniel carried me to bed and laid down next to me. i was softly crying. everything hurt again. Jonah came upstairs with my painkillers and water, corbyn was there too. i swallowed my pills and closed my eyes. i just wanted to sleep. i wanted to sleep till this was over. i was in so much pain i couldn't immediately fall asleep. so i heard the boys talking.

"i hate seeing her like this" daniel said. " yeah i know, i can't imagine what it must feel like having your powers sucked out. it even sounds horribly painful" corbyn said. "now she's throwing up blood too and there are probably more side effects coming" jonah added. "do we even know what the other side effects may be?" Daniel asked. "yeah i looked it up when she was throwing up blood. it said side effects may include: migraines, lack of energy, throwing up blood, nightmares, fainting, anger issues and a few more" corbyn listed. "well that's a lot, i hope she gets better soon" daniel said. after that i fell asleep.

suddenly i was laying in the sofa downstairs. and i overheard a conversation between the boys. "she's so annoying i don't understand that she's your mate" Corbyn said. " pff maybe she isn't? what if we made a mistake? i mean i don't love her at all so i strongly doubt if she's my soulmate" Daniel said.
"honestly i hope she moves soon, i can't stand her any longer" Jack said. "yeah me neither plus we don't need her anymore now her powers are gone. the time traveling thing would be useful but now she's useless" Jonah said.
i didn't know if i should break down or start a fight, but my heart broke. i stood up although it hurt and although i tried not to i broke down crying. "i trusted you" i said. they were looking at me with an annoyed face. " i thought i meant something to you" i cried. "well you don't okay? i'm tired of babysitting you and always having to take care of you" Corbyn said.
i let out a few sobs and then i looked at daniel "Daniel, i thought... i thought you loved me i thought we had something" i let out. he rolled his eyes. " we just needed your power lexi" he answered.
