Ugh...another day. Another headache. Another heart ache as well.
I was sick. Sick of life, sick of love, sick and tired of everything else too.

I lifted my head out of the duvet, a hint of sunshine hitting my eyes between black and blue curtains. It burned.
I rolled over with a grunt and a sniffle...
I just wanted to go back to sleep.
Letting my stomach growl as the stinging pain of hunger sank down into my stomach. I didn't eat much anymore...the pain felt good. I deserved it from what happened at the Christmas party last year. I deserve to die.

As I started to sink back into my slumber, letting the core of my state take over.
There was an instant bang as my door swung open, the sound making me jump.

"Gah! Wot the Hell!?"
I lifted out of my bed in a slight hint of annoyance. I really wanted to be left alone today.

"HAPPEH BIRFHDAY SIA!"

Birthday? It couldn't be today could it? It was only the beginning of...oh...i guess it was today.

"It's today?"
I manages to groan out.

"Yes Sia-Chan it's today."
Noodle sits on the edge of my bed and smiles happily.
I wasn't too happy...i didn't want to see anybody or be with anyone. I just wanted to be left alone.

"Wake me up when its over..."
I mumble out rolling over and curling into a ball.

"Sia don' yew want anything to eat? Or to open yew're presents?"

"Mehhh... Maybe later..."
I really wasn't feeling up to doing anything. I never wanted to do anything today to begin with.
"I jus' wanna stay in bed today."

Placing the Duvet under my head i heard a groan before having them ripped away from me.

"Come on. Get up. Were going out."
Murdoc's voice growled as I stayed huddled up in the corner of my bed.

"No."
I managed to whine out. All I really wanted to do was stay in bed but it seems like everyone had different plans. I felt myself being drug out of bed by someone.

"God, Sia you're heveh..."
2D grunted as I purposely made all my body weight heavy for him. I was serious about not going anywhere. That's until Noodle grabbed me and began carrying me over her shoulder to her room.

Down the steps...turn the corner...past the double doors. Past a slide door, past Noodle's futon...wait where was i going?
She then sets my down on the floor.

"浴"

I blinked. Yoku?

"Bath?"
Noodle gives a nod and begins unbuttoning my pyjama shirt...casually.
It wasn't often that I'd have a bath with Noodle but often enough that it doesn't bother me anymore. I don't see any harm in bathing with her.
"Come on Noodle...i really don't feel like taking a bath."

"あなたは数週間シャワーを浴びていません. 2Dやマードックのように怠け者になってほしくない. それは良くない."

I let out a sigh...there really wasn't any right way to argue with her. She was always right about everything. She managed to take off my top then pointed to my bottoms.
I did what i was told then sat on her little sitting stool.

Noodle then undressed herself, placing our clothes just outside the room before turning on the water...i should've known better, the water hit the top of my head, it was cold. I backed away with an unexpected squeak as I shivered in my own skin. This made Noodle laugh. I just looked at her with my arms crossed.

Once the water got warm we both started to clean ourselves. Noodle washing my hair as I washed hers. We didn't really talk about much. She asked me how I was feeling and I told her that I was still upset. She was very supportive of it all. Like she understood where I was coming from although I seriously doubt Noodle really understood. I've never even seen her with anybody.
We chatted a bit more as we soaked in the bath. Though it was more of a Japanese lesson than a conversation. Noodle had taught me a lot, though there was still a lot I couldn't understand. I understood what she was saying I just couldn't say it back properly.

To be honest a shower was all I needed. Nice, warm, refreshing especially since it was cold and rainy outside. Typical London weather. Getting dressed was good too though that was more awkward do to I'm assuming environmental changes. I just wasn't use to changing in Noodle's room.

"ねえ, Sia-Chan? あなたはブラを持っていませんか?

I blinked at Noodle's question. Bra? Why would I need one of those it's not like I was showing anyways.
I gave her a shrug and shook my head.

"It's not like I need one. I'm too small to get one aren't I?"

"えーと。さて、あなたは成長しています。着始めるべきだと思いませんか?"
She then places her hands over her own chest to more better explain what she was talking about.
Should I really start wearing one? Like I said...its not like it was noticeable. I wasn't that big yet...right?
It was a very awkward conversation but we both came to an agreement. Tomorrow her and I will have...girl time. Just her and I. Nobody else. That should be fun.

After getting ready we both walked out to see a cheerful 2D and Russel.

"Guess where we're 'avin yewr birfhday Sia? Guess, Guess, Guess!"
He seemed more excited about it then I did.
I rolled my eyes and shrugged.

"I-I donno D. Where?"

He seemed to be more excited then a puppy...or a small child. Like, he couldn't stand still. He excitedly looked at Russel with a big grin.

"Can I tell 'er Russ? Please can I tell 'er?"

Noodle and Russel sighed and shook they're head but agreed anyways.

"WE'RE TAKIN' YEW TO TINPIN ACTION!"
This made me feel loads better. Tinpin Action was my most popular yet most entertaining place to go. An arcade, a bowling alley a perfect place to go. I gave him a happy smile and grabbed my hand pulling me with him. Both Noodle and Russel fallowed behind.

"Isn't Murdoc coming with?"

"Nah lov, you go on ahead. I've got stuff to do."
Murdoc stands outside the door as I was practically being dragged along with 2D, Russel and Noodle.

What's the worst that could happen...right?
