Calum

By the time we picked up Rider, Gia was in a lot of pain because the numbing had worn off again. I gave her painkillers, and used the gel, but it was aching and she hated that.

It was stressing her out, a lot, so I texted all my friends to see if anyone could come over.

When we got home, Luke was already in our drive, and he picked Gia up as I unlocked the door.

"Is Gia okay?" Rider asked.

"She's okay, bud. How was your day at school?"

"Good!"

"That's brilliant. Do you have much homework?"

"I have a bit,"

"Alright, try and do some then. I think Michael and Crystal are coming over again, maybe Ashton too. I'm gonna take Gia upstairs,"

"Okay. Luke, please can you help me do my homework?"

"Of course,"

Gia followed me upstairs into my room, laying next to me on my bed. She broke into tears and I tried to soothe her, kissing her head.

"It hurts,"

"I know, but it will feel all better soon. It's just because it was a lot,"

"I don't wanna eat,"

"You can have some soup. I think I'm gonna put some more gel on it for you,"

I went to the bathroom and got it, then she opened her mouth and let me put it on for her.

"Hopefully it should feel okay in the morning,"

We cuddled for a bit, then Luke joined us, Gia in the middle. She giggled a bit and snuggled into him, allowing him to cuddle me at the same time.

I rested my head near his and sighed- it was always nice to be the one getting cuddled.

"Are you okay?" he whispered.

"Yeah,"

"Mike is downstairs. Where's Sage?"

"They're out with friends,"

"Oh that's lovely," he said, "She's asleep, by the way. I can feel her nose scrunching,"

"Bless her,"

"Is there anything I can help you with over the next few days?"

"Is it cheeky for me to ask if you could pick up the barbecue meat for Rider's birthday?"

"Very," he chuckled, "But of course. Is he excited?"

"He's really not fussed, I don't think birthdays have ever been a big deal,"

"That makes sense, he'll be surprised,"

"Hopefully,"

There was a quiet knock on the door and Sage stood there, Ashton behind. He smiled and took a photo of us all laid together, but then I propped myself up for Sage.

"Hay darling, did you have fun?"

"Yeah,"

"What did you buy?"

They pulled out a top and I chuckled.

"You and me have similar tastes,"

"You have this?"

"I do,"

"Oh,"

"I'm sure you rock it better than me,"
