Why me?

Chapter Twenty-Six

After I had made the eggs for Ashton and I we just sat on the couch and ate them while watching sponebob, ( I'm seriously starting to think that this boy is my other half).

I mainly watched T.V. and did not eat that much, Ashton had noticed that I wasn't eating,

"Whats wrong?" Ashton asked, I had been staring off into space that I almost missed the question,

"What? Oh umm its nothing," I said,

"Oh common I know something is wrong!" He said, I just shook my head to respond,

"Don't make me have to cheer you up!" He said,

I just looked at him, I really was not in the mood and I kinda felt nauseous.

"I will be right back," I said and left the room in a hurry, I rushed to the bathroom and shut the door, I leaned against it taking deep breaths and trying to calm myself down until I felt it coming up I hurdled for the toilet and tried to throw up but not much came out, since I have not eaten that much lately I guess my body is losing its water weight and this is not a fun way to do it. After I thought I was done I leaned on the wall behind me and closed my eyes once again taking deep breaths and trying to calm myself. I suddenly opened my eyes and had remembered something, I stood up in a hurry and looked in the mirror, I slowly lifted up my shirt afraid of what I am going to see. I lifted it until it was right underneath my boobs. What I saw made me nauseous again, their was a huge bruise on my stomach, I turned and their was another one of my side a purple/brown bruise. I was wondering if I couldn't feel them because I didn't realize that they were their, I had no idea. 

I pulled my shirt down looking at my face in the mirror, it was pale and looked so lifeless that the only thing that looked alive on my face were my eyes. They were so bright and cheerful, unlike the rest of my body that was slouched and also pale.

I looked at the covered above me and opened it, I pulled out a bottle of ibuprofen and put three in my mouth. I grabbed a glass from the counter and filled it with water, I downed the little pills with water, and lots of it. 

I looked at myself one more time in the mirror and fixed my hair a little, I walked out the door and turned out the light to the bathroom. I walked out to be greeted by Ashton hiding around the corner, he grabbed my waist and I screamed, for one he scared me and he grabbed a bruise. He wouldn't let go of me and I struggled to get away from him, but he just held on tighter. I screamed it pain, I think he could tell that it was not a regular scream but a scream with agony in it. Immediately he let go of me and I collapsed to the ground, clutching my waist. He murmured a curse word that I could not make out and went to his knees,

" Baby are you okay?!?

Erica answer me!" he screamed in concern, his face full of it. To be honest he looked really cute right now, and how much he cares about me and cut it out Erica and answer this boy before he has a heart attack!

"I'm okay, I'm okay, just give me a minute," I breathed out.

" Erica it helps if you are flat on your back not curled up in a ball," He said in a low voice.

After maybe five minutes of laying on the ground he started asking me questions like,

" What was that about, are you okay? Do I need to take you to a doctor?"

" Nothing, Yes, And no," was my response.

"Well obviously it was something Erica, Just let me see,"

"No!" I immediately responded, clutching the bottom of my shirt.

" Common just let me see," he said

"No ,"  I said again with a stern voice.

"Erica!" was all he said until he began to give this concerned glare.

I sighed and let go of my shirt, He slowly grabbed the bottom of my shirt. We did not break eye contact until my shirt was underneath my boobs, he looked at my stomach and his face went from concerned to shocked and if I thought he looked concerned before you should have seen him now.

He looked back up at me then at my stomach again, then back at me and said,

"What the hell happened!?!"
